Ellen Ripley is brought back to life after 200 year of death through a blood sample taken earlier. Weyland-Yutani Company and United Systems Military decide to clone a new Ripley in order to get the alien inside of her. After they get what they want, the alien goes out of control and starts to kill people on board. Riple once again has to decide what she truly is because she could be the only one can save the humanity.
This is not a Hollywood space thriller at all, but an intergalactic fantasy driven by the same cheerfully eccentric impulses that have informed a myriad of high-spirited French filmmakers.
[Jeuenet] doesn't push it all the way to "so bad it's good" territory, but he at least gives a healthy dose of the bizarre that makes it memorable, in its fashion.
A lot of fun to watch, and easy to surrender to in the moment.

So campy that it almost plays like a sendup of the series. It is to 'Alien' what 'The Bride of Frankenstein' was to other 1930s Frankenstein movies, and it even shares some of the same themes.

Simply put, Jean-Pierre Jeunet was the absolute wrong choice for this film. His award-winning quirky French visual sensibilities don't mesh well with Joss Whedon's meat-and-potatoes script.
It satisfactorily recycles the great surprises that made the first movie so powerful. And most significantly, it makes a big hoot of the whole business.
