Summary: .
Review: It has the definite, captivating style of David Fincher, no question about that, and there really isn't anything all *that* bad about the movie in and of itself, but really, I can't help but say it never should've been made. Alien. Aliens. Alien 3? Mm. It's just bad ... if they *had* to do it, they should've done something new with it. I was tired of Sigourney Weaver's "bitch" character by the time I saw this ... getting to be more of a caricture than a character, really. So ... not bad, but ... there are more worthwhile things that could've been given life in its place.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Should've been the end.
Review: Many people don't like this film because of its change of pace from the harried second installment. This one really should've been the end of the series. I can't believe 20th Century Fox allowed this to keep going. Alien 4 was ridiculous and I can't believe they're contemplating a #5!

Summary: How did the egg get into the hypersleep chamber room?
Review: To the writers of this movie -- how did an egg get laid in the hypersleep chamber room? The queen alien in "Aliens" got into the cargo bay of the mothership by hanging onto the shuttle departing the planet. She was then promptly ejected into outer space after an intense battle with Ripley operating the robot (I don't remember exactly what the piece of equipment was called but it moves like a robot). The queen was NEVER in the hypersleep chamber room and I don't believe there was any other way the egg could have gotten in there. There were better ways to kill Ripley. Other than this terrible excuse for an AIDS metaphor it was a pretty good movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The End is Nigh
Review: If I have one regret it is that I allowed all the "nay" sayers to dissuade me from seeing this on the big screen (I finally did years later). Although it doesn't have the power of the first two films, Alien 3 is still a good film. With its downbeat ethos it somehow works. Viewed again the film seems like a logical extension of the series. Taken in context, it is a pause, a chance for Ripley and the viewer to rest before the battle continues.

I like this film, but I admit that it leaves me wanting more. The ending is powerful and still manages to bring a lump to my throat. Personally, I think if anyone likes Alien then they will also like Alien 3.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: gothic sci-fi
Review: ''Alien3'' is a great mix of gothic horror and science fiction. David Fincher is one of today's most unique directors.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Burned at the stake
Review: With the success of Aliens,it was inevitable that another Alien movie would come. Unfortnately this one is the worst in the series. I'm amazed it spawned a sequel.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointing.
Review: ALIEN was great. ALIENS was an all time masterpiece. And ALIEN3 is...well, not as bad as everyone says. On the good side, we have a great opening sequence, some great effects (a few dodgy ones though), a very good musical score and some very good performances. On the bad side, there's...well, it's inexplicable. Something about this movie just fails to live up to the other two. There's too much gore and too much talk (like ALIEN in that respect), and simply not enough action! Blood-and-guts fans will have little to complain about, and it does have some of the suspense that made ALIEN so popular. But on the whole, ALIEN3 is one of the weakest Alien films - unless you count the latest nail in the Alien coffin, ALIEN RESURRECTION...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Alien 3........ It's Back!
Review: I decided to pull out this video last night, and I must say it is a very scary movie. It will make you cringe when they saw open Newts chest. This movie is entirely underrated. Only complaint is the use of the F-dash-dash-dash word so much. They don't use any foul language hardly at all until the middle of the movie. I just turn the volume down or mute it when they start talking like that. Besides that,this movie is the perfect ending for the series, but then they made Alien Resurrection....why? Alien Resurrection is great, I'm sure, but Alien 3 would have been the perfect ending for a great series!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This movie is not as bad as people say.
Review: People think this movie is one of the worst movies ever made. Well thats there opion. Sure there are some bad things about this movie but I still like it. Ripley's death was proably a good thing. Not that I'm saying Sigourney Weaver is a bad actress but it was time for her character to die. The rest of the characters in this movie were stupid. The one thing I didn't like is that they didn't explain why the alien was so different from all the others. I enjoyed the death scenes in this movie. They made them seem so dramatic. This is not the best movie, but I enjoyed it. If your an alien fan you'll have to see this one to make sense of 4.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Okay flick.
Review: This movie is disappointing because the first two were so good. Its eerie atmosphere is very effective and its bizarre plot gives it a blade-runnerish sort of feel. Sigourney Weaver is getting a bit long in the tooth. She should have been written out of the series after the second flick. Still, the movie is better than average for sci-fi. Anyone seen Independence Day?
