Biggest Swing

The film peaks with the acclaimed underwater chase sequence then crashes with the widely reviled Newborn hybrid finale.

Alien Resurrection starts promisingly with an interesting cloning concept and builds to a spectacular underwater sequence that critics universally praised. However, the film deteriorates significantly in its final act with the introduction of the poorly received Newborn hybrid, leading to a scientifically absurd and tonally inconsistent conclusion that left many reviewers feeling the franchise had lost its way.
