Highly flawed and boring but does have an effective element of horror.

Rating: 6/10 (20 July 2006)

When one compares Alien-3 to the likes of Alien Resurrection and a piece of feces called AVP, one would notice that Alien-3 does much more justice to the creature by portraying it very frighteningly. While the movie itself can drag, get very boring, the Alien comes out as a bigger threat than it ever was in the sequels. Having said that, one may have huge expectations after viewing Aliens/Alien-2 and those expectations will certainly not be fulfilled in this movie.
Also, Alien-3 is no where as good as the first Alien movie which it tries to be. Even so, it puts the element of fright back into the series just like the first movie did which means that a followup movie on the line of Aliens could have fit the part as a sequel to Alien-3. Unfortunately, Alien Resurrection turned out to be a joke of sorts. While in purely terms of entertainment, Alien resurrection comes out better than Alien-3, it also destroys the value of creature once it concludes.
