Boring and Disappointing Sequel

Rating: 3/10 (22 August 2019)

Alien 3 has got to be one of the worst sequels to a great movie (or in this case 2 great movies) I've ever seen.
From the get-go, the movie literally kills all of Aliens' supporting characters within the first 5 minutes almost like that previous film didn't even matter anyway. This would make me mad enough, but we're stuck with all these space prisoners I don't give a hoot about.
Almost nothing happens. About 75% of this film is just Ripley and these prisoners wandering around and having boring conversations. Sure, there's an alien causing havoc, but it's almost like it doesn't matter.
The production design is so bland and and cinematography and editing are so incomprehensible. The effects range from good to kinda cheap. Sigourney does her damnedest, but the rest of the characters are so bland that I don't even care about them.
Now it's no secret that this movie had so many production problems that the director, David Fincher disowned this project when he moved forward to greener pastures. And I applaud him. This movie was trash. And while some people may recommend the Special Edition as a superior version. I was so bored and disappointed by the theatrical version that I'm not even gonna waste my time with it. Life's just too short.
