Welcome back to The UnPopular Opinion! The UnPopular Opinion features different takes on films that either I hated, but that the majority of film fans loved or vice versa. We have always hoped this column will promote constructive and geek fueled discussion. Now, with us entering the visual world, you can get pissed off in a whole new medium!
In space, no one can hear you scream but that isn't such a bad thing. All of the films in the ALIEN franchise after James Cameron's sequel have gotten a bad rap or have been unfairly compared to Ridley Scott's original. But, that often discounts some truly creative cinematic experiences. Case in point: ALIEN: RESURRECTION. Directed by an art-house filmmaker and taking the series in a bold direction, ALIEN: RESURRECTION has long been a maligned chapter in the ALIEN series and this video is here to set the record straight.
