Alien 3 (DVD)
A sequel to director Ridley Scott's "Alien" was inevitable, of course. This traditional horror movie set in outer space simply made too darn much money for the studio to simply let it stand alone. <
> <
>Surprisingly, when director James Cameron took over, he was determined to make a different movie rather than merely rehash the first. Thus, "Aliens" was adventurous, taking the story in new and exciting directions as an action-adventure yarn instead of another horror movie. <
> <
>Indeed, a number of critics feel "Aliens" is better than "Alien." <
> <
>But now comes "Alien 3 " - as unnecessary a sequel to a major movie as we've seen in some time. First-time director David Fincher and four writers have created another horror movie, attempting existential overtones as they make the alien in this film Ripley's "Moby Dick." <
> <
>But "Alien 3 " begins by changing the ending of its predecessor and knocking off nearly all the characters we cared about. Fans will recall that Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), Hicks, Newt and the android Bishop escaped in a space ship at the end of "Aliens." But this film begins with their being ejected from the ship and crash-landing on a prison planet, which kills all of them except Ripley! <
> <
>On this maximum-security planet, where lice infestation requires everyone to be bald, Ripley finds that the lone surviving monster is still with them. Soon, she's organizing the prisoners to be on the alert, but since there are no weapons of any kind on the entire planet, they wind up playing hide-and-seek with the creature for most of the movie. <
> <
>There are a lot of problems with this film, but the worst are its dreary, dark motif; the lack of sympathetic characters; the unpleasantness of the film's premise, which has Ripley eventually discovering she has a queen alien growing inside of her; and a lengthy chase sequence that is so dark, and edited so chaotically that it becomes confusing. <
> <
>Those looking for thrills or some enhancement to the first films will be very disappointed. Those looking for a headache will have come to the right place. <
> <
>And why is it "Alien 3 (i.e. cubed) " instead of simply "Alien 3" or "Alienz" or "Alien: One of Those Slobbering Monsters Survived After All"? It's probably just a gimmick to get writers like me to ponder the question and give the film a little more ink. It worked.

Just Doesn't Live Up To The Second Film-Aliens
An interesting entry for sure. This movie has all of the makings for a good movie, highlighted by the new CGI alien. I really like the movie but after the high that is Aliens, it just doesn't rise to the same level. <
> <
>The end is emotional but felt a little forced. It was interesting to see Bishop, the real person who invented the Bishop cyborgs. He being on here means that this movie must not have taken place that long before Alien vs. Predator, since we see the return of the real Bishop in that movie. <
> <
>Overall good, wonderful story, but it just doesn't come off as good as what preceded it. <

You've Been In My Life So Long I Can't Remember Anything Else!
This is a great movie it is so good that it is tied with the other 2 movies in terms of goodness. Ripley gets her head shaved to look like a man when she crash lands on a prison planet. The problem about the planet is the prisoners are murders and the planet allows no weapons of any kind. The only weapons there are fire axes an knives. In one part some prisoners see the candle light flickering they know that something isn't right after hearing about a prisoner getting ground up in a proppeler blade. When Golic sees his companions get murdered by the alien he goes crazy. Then Clemens and Ripley are taking care of Golic. Then the alien sticks it's tounge into Clemens head and then is decapitated. In the end Ripley finds out that there is a chestburster inside of her she desides to kill herself and jumps into a fiery pit and dies. The reason for this is the company wants to use the alien as a weapon and doesn't care about other peoples lives. The extended and deleted scenes make the movie make more sense. The movie is dark and bloody and has kind of a lot of violent. The creepiest part is when Ripley asks Bishop and Bishop replies Yes... Now watch the movie and decide whether I'm right or not.
