Watch the version with the DOG, not the one with the OX. You'll love it !!! It's ... not the same movie, people !

Rating: 8/10 (17 November 2008)

Dear God, I recently re-saw Alien 3, but the movie I got was not the one I wanted. apparently, the version I had been used to was the THEATRICAL version, the one with the dog. the one I saw just now, was the one with the ox, which they said was re-mastered. i must say, although it was longer and somehow more explaining, I was disappointed, and I have to say: Stop re-releasing these movies, and just stick to the original version. David Fincher is one of my favorite directors of all time. he gave us SEVEN, THE GAME, FIGHT CLUB, PANIC ROOM, ZODIAC which are all very good movies, and Alien 3 is among them, with no exception. The reason people despise this movie is because they have all seen the other version, the one with the ox, which is a totally different movie. it's longer, more boring, and the entire idea gets lost along the way, diffused in the mumbo-jumbo of what they thought might be a good idea. Sigourney Weaver is great, as usual in this role, also great performances by some British actors such as Charles Dance and Danny Webb. great movie. the series goes on (at least until Resurrection, because AVP sucked big time).
