The
Alien franchise should've ended with
Alien³ (1992). If you're a Cameron fan you might say it should've ended after
Aliens (1986). And even though I like the third film, I'd have been just as happy if it had ended after
Alien (1979). It's a debate that'll never end. But I'm guessing that the majority of fans will at least be able to agree that
Resurrection should never have happened.
Dir. Jeunet at max idiosyncratic level would've been wholly inappropriate for the series. Jeunet uncharacteristically restrained fares little better and it's not long before the cracks begin to show in the attempt. It's a $75,000,000 B-Movie with a story better suited to one of the tie-in books than a feature-film.
