Time for Ripley to go at it again!

Rating: 5/10 (21 April 2020)

You know what, just shut up, okaaayyy? We all know Alien 3 didn't stand a chance of being as good as the original or even a fighting shot of being as explosive as Aliens. So get over it. As far as I'm concerned, Aliens more then made up for the original, and all the sequels that came after put together, so just forgive them, or forget them. Alien 3 finds Ripley on an all male, prison planet, and unfortunately, she didn't come alone. She came with an alien monster. Get rid of it, you say? Impossible. It's living inside her. Now what? Not only is she a threat to the all male prison planet, but she's also a danger to their human existance, as long as that alien lives inside her. She now has a death wish. Meanwhile, they have a brand new problem....this being a prison, what do you think the chances are of having weapons around to use against the alien colonies this time? Interesting script, but fails to bring the goods of the original, so just get over that hurdle. It has a fun tag along to the continuity. You think you can do better? Bring it. If I have any complaint, it's just the camera angles sometimes made me dizzy, going around in circles, upside down toward fans and etc, etc....I was starting to get sick. And Alien 3 didn't come without some unique scares and gore effects for you, so just accept this as one of the better of the sequels that came AFTER this one, and stop looking at it as "It's not as good as Alien or Aliens." The main strength of Alien 3, make that two strengths.....Weavers performance, mind blowing once again, and the directors efforts. Together, they did the best they could. And that's good enough for me.
