I can't even REMEMBER Alien Res. Probably blocking it out, lol. What was the plot again?
To answer your question: laughable.
They find some DNA which somehow lets them clone Ripley
with the alien Queen inside her. (Now would be a good time for a /facepalm smiley, if there was one). If they wanted alien DNA, it was scattered all over Fury-161 (the A3 prison), and they could have taken it then.
Even if the DNA for the queen was not present in drone DNA, it still doesn't explain how a single DNA strand could recreate two organisms... one within the other... Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you mix two sets of DNA together, either it doesn't work at all, or you end up with a fusion of both.
If it were possible to separate Ripley's DNA from the queen DNA, then why bring Ripley back?
Ugh, it's senseless trying to explain the plot in rational terms. Some Hollywood type just sat down and said "I know, we'll clone them! Ripley and the queen inside her! LOL, DNA!!!" I suspect there is very little science in this science fiction.

Oh God, now I remember. Thanks (I think :laff: ). I remember having those same DNA issues w/it myself.
Does anybody remember the A:R ps1 game? That was my 1st console FPS.

Good point. The movie also doesn't explain why new, cloned Ripley has all the memories of old Ripley. Memories are not stored in DNA...

Don't bother looking for an explanation for it. Alien DNA has been essentially pixie dust ever since alien 3 decided aliens born for dogs should be dogliens.
rachel on 9/12/2007 at 02:12
Actually that's a fucking brilliant concept imo. (the doglien idea, not the Riplien idea, that is)
june gloom on 9/12/2007 at 02:13
Agreed. Though it's been turned a bit cartoonish by other entries in the franchise (particularly the AvP arcade beat 'em up from about 15 years ago) it's still an interesting concept.
Phatose on 9/12/2007 at 05:23
Interesting maybe. But it's pretty much X-men level genetic bullshit, and it's directly responsible for the bullshit they've done with alien 'genetics' everywhere else, including resurrection.

guys i want hundred precent accurate science in my entertainment whos with me

im not so sure about this "warp drive" fellas, lets get some schematics out and workshop this horseshit

Wow. Alien Ressurection's target audience has arrived. A round of applause, please.
