Because of money, I guess, for starters. Also, because it's the coolest space monster ever. Because of visual stylist Jean-Pierre Jeunet of Delicatessen fame. Because of whole ship mama Sigourney Weaver. Because of genetics and the human attachment to willful mediocrity. Because we've never seen an alien underwater (where you also can't scream). Because bounty hunters watch the TV shopping network. Because of Dominique Pinon's forehead. Because aliens bleed acid, and androids bleed semen. Because alien-human hybrids have pixie noses. And, always, because of the deeper issues...

...PLAYERS] Sigourney Weaver, Winona Ryder; dir. Jean-Pierre Jeunet...
...talented Ang Lee directs this film about uneasy family relationships in the restess, promiscuous 1970s with crystalline precision. As the leaders of two archly funny but disturbingly bleak suburban clans, Kevin Kline, Joan Alen and Sigourney Weaver give refreshingly honest performances, but the film's ending sadly offers their characters no hint of redemption.
