Alien 3 is a great sequel to Ridely Scott's original sci-fi horror classic Alien. Alien 3 has a dark tone to it which I like about it, it also returns to having one Alien instead of loads like James Cameron's sequel Aliens which is also a great movie. The film has some great gore scenes and suspense scenes, the acting is great and the Alien effects are good and scary, the visual effects are a bit dated. Alien 3 had some different plot ideas before using the plot they did, one plot for Alien 3 had Ripley crash land on a monastery planet where a group of monks thought the was living in a post-apocalyptic dark age and lived a middle-ages style life and don't use technology. After Ripley and the Alien crash land on their planet they would blame the attacks on Ripley and lock her up, in the meantime she finds herself dreaming of a human-Alien hybrid. The idea was changed to have the monks replaced by prisoners and the wooded planet to a prison planet.
The film begins right after Aliens and sees the ship catching on fire after an electrically malfunction. The ship detaches and the escape pod crashes onto a prison planet, Newt and Hicks are killed in the crash while Bishop is damaged. Ripley is the only survivor, after waking up she discovers what happened and checks the escape ship to see an acid burn on one of the tubes, she asks the doctor to do an autopsy on Newt to find that there is nothing inside her chest. The bodies of Hicks and Newt are cremated, meanwhile the dog of one of the prisoners was impregnated by a Facehugger and the ChestBuster bursts out. The new Dog-Alien hides away until it's full grown and soon the nightmare begins again as it begins to attack the prisoners, Ripley finds Bishop and reactivates him to ask what happened on the ship. Bishop tells her that an Alien was on the ship, Ripley and the prisoners have to stick together and try and stop the Alien before it kills everyone of them but Ripley discovers something else, she has an Alien inside her. The Facehugger got her while she was in hyper sleep and the Embryo inside her is a Queen. Now she has to stop the Alien before killing herself to stop the Queen from bursting out and the whole process starts all over again.
Alien 3 is a great sequel that should be seen. Check this out. 10/10
