This is a movie of "What if...?" David Fincher was a visionary music video director (check out his work with Madonna and Nine Inch Nails), and should have been given more trust to turn in a unique and interesting final product. The story had tremendous potential, and Ripley is always a fascinating character. It's always great to see an actress of Sigourney Weaver's tremendous depth, range and talents champion a genre picture, let alone a franchise. I can see why she was excited about creating a final Alien film and ending the franchise once and for all. But then Fox decided it wanted to interfere. It wouldn't be the last time either (check out the lackluster results of their studio tampering: Fantastic Four 1 & 2, X-Men: The Last Stand, everything they've released in the past ten years).

''For within each seed, there is a promise of a flower, and within each death, no matter how small, there is always a new life. A new beginning. Amen.''

This film had a lot of potential. If Fincher was given the space and creative rights he needed, this film could have been a classic.

However, I enjoyed it. The prisoners of Fury 161 were all believeable fellons who were seeking forgiveness until temptation crept back into their lives...

Now throw in a Xeno and you got yourself an even bigger crisis! The lead works setting is perfect for a horror film and the 'brown' theme was really appreciated.

The casting was fantastic aswell!
