Alien at the Movies

Twenty-two years later on Isla Nublar, it's "Return to Jurassic Park" meets "Frankenstein" meets "Disney World" meets the "Dino Whisperer" as humans repeat their same mistakes as they attempt to mess with Mother Nature in order to boost park attendance. This movie, like the Jurassic World Park, must up the ante with bigger dinosaurs, more scares, and more teeth. This marvelous iconic homage to the original has bigger spectacular special effects, a bigger park, more dinosaurs, new dinosaurs, and more people endangered. The film looks amazing in 3D on the IMAX screen. It's a thrilling fun film with predictable situations but a climax that Alien didn't see coming. Filmmakers didn't bite off more than they could chew.

Alien gives it 4 "if something chases you, run" stars out of 4.
