wretched, horrible loser of a flick with one funny scene

Rating: 1/10 (11 December 1998)

This piece of waste is a total disappointment to anyone who came close to liking the first two. The only good moment is: just after the "dog alien" pulls a monk/prisoner to his off-camera blood-spraying death, (and ignoring for the moment that the survivors decide it's ok to play next to the hole in the ceiling it *just* left through) another monk/prisoner has a tremendously funny look on his face as he mops up the remains, casting furtive hole-ward glances... (giggle.) But, to get *to* this point, the viewers have to suffer through about, oh, 500 other scenes that are total crap, the off-camera, totally inconsequential deaths of Hicks and Newt, the shaved-head look for Ripley(conveniently *after* the "magic makeup" sex scene - one shot, they're about to kiss, no makeup, next shot, they're starting in, and *paf*, ripley gets a makeover!) ... enjoy if you can!
