![]() Not to mention the fact that some of our favorite characters from Aliens were swept away to either glorified cameos or killed off unceremoniously. What we got was a messy script, an uneven tone, and unfinished CGI/visual effects. It seems like everyone involved had their own agenda and vision for how the story should pan out. Let me get this straight, we're on a prison filled with murderers and rapists, and the guards don't have any weapons to use if things go bad?īut really the problem with Alien 3 is just that there were way too many cooks in the kitchen. But even that feels tarnished due to Sigourney Weaver demanding Ripley to not hold any guns, which in turn meant the entire prison she's trapped in seem illogical. Slow, brooding, and lacking any excitement or tension provided from the first two makes this film only watchable because of Ellen Ripley. ![]() Alien 3 once again changes up the formula, but is inferior in every way. Alien relies on our fear of the unknown, while Aliens is a relentless action film that never lets down its guard. With a young and inexperienced David Fincher, an actress making demands, a script that was being written on the fly, and a less than compromising studio, Alien 3 is about as disappointing of an end to a trilogy as I can remember.Īlien and Aliens are two entirely different films that provide tension in different ways. ![]() Alien 3 is one of those situations where the quality of the film we got is no one and everyone's fault.
