A terrible misfire.

Rating: 4/10 (4 August 2000)

Agreed, it was just about the hardest thing in the world to follow-up after Alien and Aliens but did it have to be this bad? Instead of expanding on the premise, all Fincher does is go back to just one Alien-threat. And all that ever happens is some running around in corridors and some shrieking music, which makes for a poor attempt to achieve the same atmosphere as in Alien. Fincher also tries to rob us of any future alien-installments in the climax but luckily they went ahead and did it anyway with Alien: Resurrection.
