pretty good

Rating: 6/10 (31 January 2000)

Alien 3 was okay, but it lacked the suspense and thrills of the two before it. They tried the use of computer effects with not much great skill, so some special effects seem a little cheesy. Sigourney Weaver gives a great performance as Ripley. The ending is very good because it shows the sacrifice she must make in order to wipe out this species.

Alien 3 gives a very different scenario, but everything is very confusing. The director didn't know what he was doing. The acting is good, but it didn't have as much action that made the other two so great. However, it's a good installment of the series, letting you feel the pain and emotion of Ripley as she loses everything she ever cared for.
I recommend Alien 3, but I can't guarantee or think you'll like it better than Alien and Aliens.
