Alien: Resurrection should have been a slam dunk, with that director, that cinematographer, that cast and a good budget. But the writing is just SO bad.

Jean-Pierre Jeunet re-used a lot of the same cast and shots from his previous film, the City of Lost Children. His style would have actually been the perfect fit for Aliens 3.
But yes, the script was awful. To be fair, this movie was made in a time when audiences went to see films specifically for CGI effects. So the swimming aliens was a big sell and likely cost the studio a lot. Resurrection was also the beginning of the horrible man-made "hybrid" trend, which has plagued the franchise and the Predator franchise since.
