Initial Thought: Thank goodness this is almost over. I really hope this isn't worse than the previous one. Well at least there won't be another afterwards.
Characters/Acting: Charlie and Ug return as usual for this final part. The guy who plays Ug plays another character as well. We get a few new additions that I enjoy with Angela Bassett and Brad Dourif. It seems this didn't halt Bassett's career though. She was in Boyz in the Hood before this and then Malcolm X afterwards. This is probably the movie she hopes no one will find. I didn't like what they did with Ug's character. Angela Bassett and Brad Dourif really improved this for me.
Story: Critters in Space. We always get one of these in a horror sequel if it lasts long enough. Oh wait. What's that you say? You say they are from space already? Oh well then get on with it then. So basically the end of the previous film is irrelevant. This ends up starting the exact same was as part three ended. It does have a few slight changes as well as a big one like changing the location to freaking Kansas!? It took about 37 minutes before anything remotely interesting happened. I did like what happened when it finally did however cheesy it was. The ending made me chuckle.
Directing/Writing: The writers of the story return here with Rupert Harvey taking the reigns as director. It was probably because nobody else wanted to be associated with directing in this series. David J. Schow stays on this script with new co-writer Joseph Lyle. He hasn't done anything else though.
Final Thought: It wasn't actually all that bad. It still had it's fair amount of cheese. It does change the series lore up a bit though. I know I'm going to go against popular opinion, but I actually thought this was the best of the series if only by a slight margin. This series was a roller coaster. Watch it at your own risk as I'm sure it can go either up or down.
