This installment does not take the series to the "next level"

Rating: 4/10 (20 February 2000)

The Alien series has to be one of the most amazing in film history. Each one with the exception of Alien 3 provided groundbreaking visuals, concepts and plot to the series. Alien 3 is really missing the groundbreaking feats achieved by its predecessors along with the latest - Alien Ressurection. I was looking for Alien 3 to take the series to the "next level" however, it never arrives. The only thing you need to see in Alien 3 is the last 15 minutes so you won't be completely lost when watching the 4th installment - Alien Ressurection. Alien Ressurection then takes the series to the "next level" in fine fashion.
