over analysed

Rating: Null/10 (14 February 1999)

This third Alien movie suffers from too much critical analysis. It is every bit as good as the first two, just different. The alien in this version is the very best; it behaves like a real animal, which, I hear, it was (a dog) _and_ it runs on the ceiling. The sepia tones, dark tunnels, and unrelenting close-ups of shaved heads and craggy faces make this the most intense of the series.
