My vote of 8 is for the Assembly Cut from the Quadrilogy!

Rating: 8/10 (27 August 2004)

Alien3, theatrical version, was not a good follow-up to my favorite film of all time, Aliens. However, if you buy the Alien: Quadrilogy, box set, and watch the Assembly Cut which adds almost an hour to the movie as well as changes some of the other aspects, Alien3 becomes an entirely different movie---and a much much better one. You get more history of the prison, more history of the prisoners, and overall more plot development. Also, SPOILER!!!--the alien doesn't come from a dog, it comes from another animal. The only bad thing about Alien3: Assembly is that the Alien is still blue-screened. I don't understand why they couldn't have used stunt actors dressed up in the suits to make it more realistic. If they had done that, I would almost rank this movie as good as ALIENS. But, without a doubt, "ALIENS" is the best sequel ever made!
