Great debut for one of the best directors today

Rating: Null/10 (31 May 2000)

David Fincher is a genius. He creates an environment unparalleled to any other director today, with the possible exception of Tim Burton. Many people didn't like this film because it focused more on the people than the action, but I felt that by bringing us in to the characters better it made us feel more for them. It even made the movie a little bit scarier. The Alien series has featured great directors from the beginning. Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Blade Runner), James Cameron (Titanic, Terminator) and Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Delicatessen, City of Lost Children) are all brilliant directors. David Fincher can hold his own against them, maybe even surpass them. Alien3 was not the best of the series but it's without a doubt worthy of the Alien title. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about.
