A tragic yet powerful conclusion to the Alien trilogy

Rating: 8/10 (30 March 2011)

Before I say anything, you must watch the Assembly Cut of Alien 3. That's the cut I prefer and the cut I base my score on for the film.
Anyways, this isn't a very bad film like almost everyone claims it to be. Of course, in comparison to the first two films in the series, it doesn't exactly live up to their quality but still considering the hell that David Fincher went though while making this, it's a damn worthy effort.
It is true that it lacks a little bit in the story department but what I'm sure most fans know is that they started filming this before they had even finished the script! So, essentially Fincher had to work with what he had and from what it seemed, improvise. Pretty impressive what he did, it being his first film and all.
It comes across kind of slow at parts and that's probably one of the few gripes I have with it, but in the end it's strangely uplifting and beautiful at times.
So, with all things considered, the good outweighs the bad. It's not perfect by any means, but still, give it a shot. Alien 3 is a criminally underrated film.
