    It's a real shame they didn't stay with the original script of a load of Monks living on a wooden planet. The first film is about rape, the second about motherhood and this one was supposed to be about faith but it all went a bit tits up. Never mind, its still a good film. Finche...( read more)r got shafted by the producers but still made a beautifully shot film, shame about the dodgy SFX though. It really isn't as bad as everyone says (The Megadrive game was pretty good too).

    Nothing really happened. No surprise Fincher disowns this film. It's a shame when this happens. Alien resembling host (dog alien) cool idea. But can't remember much else

    Misunderstood and often overlooked. Fincher's debut is much stronger than most give it credit for.

    Great look, gorgeous alien design, the movie grows on you. Despite its problems this flick has grown to become just as popular as the first two films, the brown and orange hues in the set design and feel of the film really appeal to me and make the film stand out on its own. Anot...( read more)her great cast roster just like the first two and a really hard hitting emotional plot make this a very unique animal in all the right ways :)

    I like this film for 3 simple reasons. First of all, it's got a great lead actress, Sigourney Weaver who has always proven to be great in the role of Ripley whether she's human or cloned. Second, the film has a really dark tone and a lot of style thanks to director David Fincher ...( read more)and cinematographer Alex Thomson. Third and most important, the story shows us the real tragedy of Ellen Ripley's life, how everyone around her, everyone she cares for are taken away from her by the Alien. Still she prevails. The ending left me in shivers because of Ripley's courage and sacrifice. Although all these things could have made a grand film for the series, David Fincher didn't really know where he was going. He just didn't seem at ease and the whole package feels unfinished, sometimes boring. There are very few action or suspense scenes, like I said, the film relies more on drama for it's effect which is great but not for an Alien film. It would have needed more action, more suspense, more terror and victims we care for (except for Ripley of course.) Although it's got it's share of goodies, Alien³ is mostly a disappointment, especially when you compare it to it's 2 predecessors.

    I bought this film from Blockbuster so I had the ability to watch the special edition instead of the theatrical release. I did enjoy this film a lot. I liked the first two and I figured that the third would not be much different that the others. The ending was quite surprising an...( read more)d a bit confusing at some times. It seemed that everytime something went right something horribly wrong happened. I still don't understand why the crazy guy hit his friend, slashed the throat of the other, and opened the door to the alien. I am guessing because he was crazy but it seemed that when he first encountered it he was really scared of the "dragon". It was also a little sad that Clemens dies but it is necessary because if he did not Ripley may have wanted to live, but she couldn't in order for the "Queen" to die. The movie was good but there was a F word every other word in the film. Whoever wrote script did not have much of a vocabulary beyond "xenomorph". This film contains a lot more profanity and gore than its predeccesors.

    Part 1& 2 were the best. in my collection.

    There was only one way to go and that was down after the superbness of the previous sequel but this one isn't too bad. They should have stopped the franchise right here.

    It was so good ... I enjoyed the whole Trilogy, but this one was maybe my favorite of all

    L'un des films qui m'as le plus dégoûter dans cette saga, mais il reste assez important à cause de plusieurs bouleversements qui ont changé la franchise.
