Alien 3 (1992)

Really nice one!!!

I remember the first time i saw this movie, i tought it was the worst alien movie ever, but right now, a few years before i think it's a really good one, very diferent to the 2 first ones. July 10, 2008

Signing Off

This is really the type of movie I like to review. I remember when this came out, people seemed to be largely dissapointed. I wasn't old enough to see it in the theater, no matter how much it interested me. The theatrical release is an interesting edit of the director's original vision for the story. Unfortunately, the director's cut is presented poorly by Fox, and a grudge held by the director is evident in the absence of his commentary.

All that aside, Alien 3 is a terrific ending to the trilogy. I love the quiet, bleak atmosphere of the film. The effects are dated but have a charm of their own, somewhat akin to stop motion effects of the past. The creature design IS an HR Geiger design, and he's finally credited in this new special edition dvd. The Alien looks great, the movie looks great, and for me, this is a great ending to the series.

ALIEN 3 BEYOND THUNDERDOME! 3 1/2 STARS VERY GOOD ENTRY!

They just couldn't let there be a somewhat happy ending to Aliens! The third installment in the Alien series isn't as bad as some have said. This film starts out where 'Aliens' left off. The ship and crew are discovered and of course there is an unwelcomed visitor on board! Going back to a similar style of the first film where the action is sparse, but tension is high. I don't like to give too much away in my reviews, but if you have the patience to watch this film through, it's worth your time.

Everyone has their opinions of sequels and the series could have stopped with the first film. It's pretty good as third installments go and could have been a fitting end to the series, but it's hard to keep a good monster down! The premise is interesting and the FX are good, but it does take some time to get going!.....when it does it's very good and the film has a very memorable ending! June 14, 2008

What happened? $$$ that's what.

I was sooooo psyched to see this come out.
I saw it in the theater and hated it.
It had the lamest story line ever.
Dark, boring, depressing, unmemorable.
I so wanted to see Newt and the other blond guy (can't remember his name)
come back. And they both die in the crash. LAME!!!
Lame story, lame acting, lame everything.
The series was officially dead and buried with this one. June 12, 2008

Sequel, but not as good as the first

Okay, I don't own this movie, but I have seen it.
It is gory, and scary, but not as good as the first Alien movie. June 10, 2008
