Good, underrated installment of the classic series...

Rating: Null/10 (28 July 2003)

..."Alien3" is the most underrated movie of all time (well...maybe). I can't believe people's excuses for not liking this film. Just a few days ago a friend said he didn't like it because "the good guys had no weapons". Nevermind that the characters in the first "Alien" also had no weapons. In fact, "Alien3" is one of the few third installments that still keeps the series alive.
The story focuses on our hero, Lt. Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) landing on a remote planet that doubles as a prison. There she befriends doctor Clemens (Charles Dance) and inmate Dillon (Charles S. Dutton). Clemens helps her come to realize that there was an alien on board her escape pod before he is killed off (a little too early, I have to say). After Clemens is killed, Ripley, Dillon and the other inmates devise a plan to help kill the alien.
This a very scary movie. Director Fincher made his film debut with "Alien3" and established himself as one of the greatest mystery/horror directors of our time. The climax involves the inmates running throughout the maze that is a prison, trying to lure the alien into a trap, creating some of the most suspenseful chase scenes that I've seen.
"Alien3" is a fun, cool, exciting movie that is highly underrated, 8/10.
