Still, they share some of my rhetoric on it: it's not high cinema, it's candy. It's <i>not</i> a waste of time in my view; just understand what you're getting. The film "reboot" is in vogue right now. I wonder if anyone's tried a partial reboot? Any full-scale, big-budget, A-list Alien movie would just about have to be a sequel to Aliens, ignoring from Alien³ on. 'Course, Sigourney Weaver will be 60 this year, and she still looks great, but 1986 was a long time ago. I guess there's no hope for such a prospect. Or, it could be a sequel to Alien³, leaving Ripley dead...but nah, still no hope for such a prospect. What we're getting now is probably as good as it gets. Ellen Ripley remains one of my favorite movie badasses of all time. That is by far the most glowing review of AVP:R I’ve read.
