Worthy Addition to the Franchise

Rating: 7/10 (9 April 2020)

I'm sure by now Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) is just sick and tired of aliens... I'm not. She can't escape them no matter where she goes. At least in this episode we have a name for them: xenomorphs.
Ripley's escape vessel crashed onto the planet Fiona "Fury" 161 that served as a refinery and a prison. She's in this isolated place with 25 double Y chromosome murderers and rapists. Maybe the aliens aren't such a bad alternative.
She brought an unwelcome guest with her to Fiona 161 which means before the movie ends there will be a lot of corpses. But there's something different about Ripley; she's carrying a baby xenomorph within her. After all that running and fighting she ended up with one of those horrific creatures inside of her, but she has no plans to let it develop and tear its way out of her.
"Alien 3" was an awesome part three. In fact, had the Alien franchise stopped at three it would easily be one of the top trilogies all time. This part even gave us the iconic shot of the alien staring down Ripley as she faced forward, terror stricken. "Alien 3" was a worthy addition and extension of the Alien franchise.
