Did you know
• Sigourney Weaver originally declined to do a fourth Alien film. When asked why she changed her mind, she replied, "They basically drove a dump truck full of money to my house."
• Winona Ryder agreed to do this film even before reading the script. She stated that she "didn't care if she died in the first scene", she'd do it. Ryder claimed that then she could boast about being in an "Alien" movie to her younger brothers.
• Jean-Pierre Jeunet wanted to have a scene where a mosquito bites Ripley, then vanishes into smoke because of her acid blood. Eventually, he dropped the idea after the SFX team told him how much it would cost.

User reviews
Not as good as the classical Aliens, but still a bit underrated
"Hey, Ripley. I heard you, like, ran into these things before?"
Flawed yet underrated fourth installment in one of sci-fi's most notorious franchises
