If you don't like noir films, don't see This movie.

Rating: 8/10 (17 February 2009)

If you don't like filth, don't watch this movie. If you are emotionally attached to the characters from previous two movies, don't watch this movie. If you appreciate dark lighting, desperation, and the strategic use of English people, definitely see Alien³.
In this sequel, where heroes die, bad things happen, and characters are for the most part unlikeable, we see a complete 180 degree turn from the blockbuster style of Aliens. You'll either love it or hate it, but you'll acknowledge it either way.
I never liked a happy ending, so I give this film an eight despite the critics.
