I just rolled my eyes at the premise that acid could in anyway make a pinhole in a glass window.
Well, way back in the first Alien movie, the facehugger ate its way through Kane's faceplate, so I guess the ability of the acid blood to eat through glass was well-established.

Uh, the acid that caused the hole in Resurrection was alien blood, wasn't it? 8-[

I also found the "likability" factor (or lack thereof) of the characters in this film to be off-putting.

Hard to believe that Joss Firefly Whedon wrote this, ain't it?
