Disappointing sequel, watchable but a complete mess

Rating: Null/10 (19 February 2009)

This film is a complete mess. It's watchable but is a huge letdown after the first two films. It casually dispense with the previous storyline as it places Sigourney Weaver on a prison planet with an alien loose. There is little action and the film isn't particularly tense or scary. Sigourney Weaver is good though and elevates the material. Characters appear from out of nowhere and it seems that a lot of tinkering was done with the final product. The directer David Fincher has admitted studio interference and other factors were responsible for the film's problems. Disappointing.
Overall 4/10
