Given how much of the publicity for the seventh Alien film focused on how it was “set in-between Alien and Aliens” (yes, we plead guilty), it may surprise people that it probably has as much in common with Alien Resurrection as it does James Cameron’s celebrated sequel. The entry it shares the most DNA with, however, is Ridley Scott’s 1979 original – in ways that are for the most part a cause for celebration, but occasionally questionable.
