Underrated

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2015)

I love Alien 3, not in a "so bad, it's good" way but in a "This is one of the best Sci-fi films of the 90s"
I've heard people complain Alien 3 is "depressing" but with a concept of "a monster brutally killing people" could you honestly expect a light tone version of that? Alien 3 has some truly great characters supporting characters such as Aaron, Dillon and Golic. The prisoners are a little hard to tell apart but the ones who stick and shine really do shine.
The movie is very tense, enforcing the "anyone can die" rule to the max, when the supposed tough guy has a greater risk of dying then the totally nuts prisoner it really helps build tension and pulls you into the movie.
There are several defenses of Alien 3 on the internet which I highly recommend reading, they all highlight the exceptional things that Alien 3 does.
