TV Guide magazine's Maitland McDonagh wrote in her mixed review: "The plot is more of the same old running and screaming, but Weaver is worth the price of admission all by herself, which is just as well in light of the less-than-fleshed-out characters by whom she's surrounded."cite-ref-48[47] Gary Thompson of Philadelphia Daily News gave it a "C", describing it as "a walking-zombie sequel that looks and smells like a corpse brought back from the dead."cite-ref-49[48] James Berardinelli also gave a mixed review at ReelViews by writing "If you consider Alien and Aliens to be the main course, then Alien Resurrection is leftovers".cite-ref-50[49] Jeffery Overstreet of Looking closer rated the film "C+" and commented "What began as the most menacing movie monster of all has evolved into a whining oaf that looks like it's been dipped in a vat of Cream of Wheat".cite-ref-alien-resurrection-lc-51-0[50] Janet Maslin from The New York Times reported "The filmmaker's ghoulishly fecund imagination makes this tale ... so murky that even the screen's toughest woman-warrior remains largely stuck in the mud."cite-ref-52[51] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film a negative review, stating "There is not a single shot in the movie to fill one with wonder", later naming it one of the worst films of 1997.cite-ref-alien-resurrection-re-53-0[52]
