Memorable, crazy movie
TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

I enjoyed the first two Alien films but this didn't measure up to them in the slightest. It didn't make me care about the characters, and the ending felt weak. Good visuals and decent acting, but it drew the fans into a very unkind and horrifying scenario (which shall not be specifically addressed, so as not to ruin it for other unfortunate watchers). I won't accept this one, and along with John Carpenter's Escape From LA, Kevin Costner's The Postman, the Wachowskis' The Matrix Revolutions, and Joel Schumacher's Batman and Robin; these are my least favorite films. I'm not an overly-judgmental critic and most of the time I'm pretty lenient, but these were the worst. Stick with the first two. The same applies to the Terminator saga.

Why so much hate maybe they need to view the forth installment again, alien3 had great Brit actors, great music reminded me of that Sean Connery film The Name Of The Rose that starred Ron Periman pity he didnt star in alien 3 instead of alien resurrection.

How many times will this franchise keep fighting the exact same alien, in the same way, for the same reasons, by the same person.And how many times will Ripley keep bouncing around space, and landing everywhere but earth, and yet, everywhere she lands is always a place filled with people nonetheless?3 films, and still, nothing is known about anything. Alien is about fighting something we don't know or understand. Aliens is about fighting the same something we don't understand, and its family. Alien 3 is about fighting the very-same-something-we-don't-understand-like-in-Alien, except this time, instead of it growing in Kane, it's now growing in Ellen.The twist was cool, and I feel I would've seen it coming, had this film just not been such a bore, because of it being NOTHING MORE, absolutely nothing more, than its 2 predecessors.Alien, Aliens and Alien 3 is the same thing, over, and over, and over again... The 3rd time around was just too brutal to experience. Had it not been for the twist, this movie would've easily been a 4, but that twist helped quite a bit. 5/10.

Following the events of Aliens, Ripley crash-lands on a prison planet, Fiorina 161. The other passengers die and, more tellingly, Ripley discovers that she has transferred on of the aliens onto the planet via her ship.The original Alien was excellent. The sequel Aliens was good. It is inevitable that making a 2nd sequel that the originality will suffer, and Alien 3 is no exception. Still entertaining, but carried by the presence of Signourney Weaver. The plot is fairly predictable though - all that has changed is the setting.Not as good as the first two, and certainly not in the same league as the original.
