great overall design however very disappointing story

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2001)

Alien 3 to me was over after the first fifteen minutes of it. The fact that Newt died rendered its predessor Aliens absolutely pointless.I find that this simple and terrible end could have been easily avoided.Now the reason for her death was never explained by the Writers Vincent Ward and Larry ferguson (I don't mean how she drowned or why). I am going to assume that the writers couldn't cast Carrie Henn as Newt again due to her age (about 15 years old or so).So why not have Newt injured and in a coma.Many would say because viewers could tell that it was a different actress. But what I had in mind was perhaps a latex doll with an exact reconstruction of Carrie Henn's face, and if not then have her face covered by an oxygen mask or a bandage of some sort. Don't go taking the easy way out. All in all the movie was great with the exception of that one setback.
