Alien 3

Rating: 3/10 (30 June 2017)

" 3 times the suspense, 3 times the danger, 3 times the terror ". Seriously David Fincher ? Seriously ? First of all, that is the worst tag line I ever saw. Second of all, it's the biggest lie I ever saw.
After developing Hicks and Newt in Aliens (1986) and making them really likable characters, and having Ripley nearly killing herself to save their lives ... Fincher decided to kill both of them in the stupidest way right at the start ! REALLY ?? I understand he didn't want to use them but don't KILL THEM. They were amazing characters and could have been used for future movies. That alone made me really mad at the start of the movie. Lack of imagination by Fincher.
Ripley and Clemens (Charles Dance) were the only likable characters in the movie. Yet Ripley can't be killed by the Alien since she holds the queen in her chest and Clemens dies in the stupidest way, his death had no significance whatsoever, I don't know what Fincher was thinking by killing him. This resulted in the audience having no interest at all in the characters, at least for me, I didn't care if anyone died in this movie except for the two characters I mentioned.
I also want to add that I'm all in for CGI when done right. For example, in King Kong (2005) or Jurassic World (2015), it looked amazing (just a few good examples). It allows to enhance the creature's movement and it's speed (you can't really move an animatronic fast). When done right, it looks very very good. But thing is, in 1992, CGI wasn't really optimized and Fincher still decided to overuse it making the Alien seem so fake.
The Prison setting is also something I hated, it just didn't seem to fit with the Alien vibe. The atmosphere in the first 2 movies was way better.
All and all, it was a terrible movie. Despite the ratings I was expecting something really good (because IMDb members are usually very harsh towards some sequels). Turns out it was really an abomination. 3/10 and that's because I am generous.
