ok i cant even touch your opinion on the final cut. We are obviously on two different mind sets here that cant be enlightened with any knew knowledge on eigther side. However, you think The cast in Ressurection was the most intersting cast out of all the alien movies? this is somthing i had to jump into no matter how far away our perceptions are from each other.
It's like this.
Ripley's clone, No. 8, is in a moral dilemma. She's 1/2 human and 1/2 Alien, so her allegiance is tested here, as Aliens are headed for Earth on an abandoned ship. Her apparent heartwrenching decisions are what would led itself to being the most actual development we have ever seen in Ripley, given she was just gung ho in the other 3 films.
As for the characters;
Ripley/No. 8, who is 1/2 half human and 1/2 Xenomorph, who in turn carries what could be certain doom for Earth in her hybrid creature.
"Call", easily the most interesting android to date.
Ron Perlman's "Johner" character, who is always fun to watch.
"Vreiss" (Dom Pinion from "Amelie" and "City of Lost Children"😉 playing comic relief once again, from his wheelchair.
Michael Wincott as "Elgyn", aka "Top Dollar" from "The Crow". If nothing else, his awesome voice and badass attitude really harken back to that of Corp. Hicks in "Aliens".
Brad Dourif, who thinks he has finally found a way to control the Aliens, when it's apparent he hasn't. I personally think he's great, especially in LOTR.
The "Alien" franchise has always had a back-up cast playing second fiddle to Ripley. I just think that this cast was just as good as that in "Aliens". In addition, I think there was alot more tension in "Resurrection", than there was in "Alien 3" in particular, and quite possibly the original.

they are both equal in my opinion but if i had to pick then mine would probably have to be the first one because it is more horror
Two different directors (Ridley Scott and James Cameron) make it hard to decide which one is the best. I love both films. But I'm more sided with the original. That's only because I like Ridley Scott's films more than James Cameron. Not taking anything away from James, is just that Scott is one of my favorite filmakers. Still, both films are classics.

I like "Alien: Resurrection", you like "Rocky 5". We're even.
Personally, Scott and Cameron are even in my book. Both super ingenuitive, and still manage to put out great movies. Although, Ripley has kind of pulled ahead with "Matchstick Men".
