What happened?

Rating: Null/10 (4 July 2000)

**POSSIBLE SPOILER**
The link between this film and Aliens is really, really weak. An egg 'somehow' just manages to make it past everyone's attention and get Ripley (don't know if that's a spoiler or not). How in God's green Earth did the queen alien lay an egg there after Ripley blew the sod clean out of the egg sac in Aliens? Besides, I thought facehuggers died after they got their victims, rather than go get another one. This film makes Aliens seem like an awful, or should I say great big, waste of time, in that Hicks and Newt cop it at the start. Why? Another thing I've noticed in these films is that EVERY one has to have an alien exploding from something's chest, and EVERY one has to have an android in it. Not bad, necessarily, but unoriginal. Aside from these comments, I thought Alien 3 was a mediocre film. Easily comparable to the original, it's horror is darker and more 'Apocalyptic' than it's predecessors. The best thing about this film, I thought, was that it had the perfect ending for a trilogy, then those stupid people had to bring her back for Resurrection.
