Alien 3 (6/10)

Rating: 6/10 (25 August 2016)

After a surprising beginning to central characters in the previous film, the main character Ripley is thrust onto a planet run by prisoners. As a huge fan of David Fincher, seen almost all his movies, it's pretty safe to say Alien 3 is at the basement of his list. It's pretty obvious executives were in the way of what probably could have been a really good movie if Fincher had total reign on the script and finances. After a surprising beginning to central characters in the previous film, the main character Ripley is thrust onto a planet run by prisoners. Some of the characters on this planet were annoying and unlikeable while others that had potential seemed to bite the dust pretty fast. Alien 3 does have loyalty to the franchise but the film pales in comparison to its predecessors. The ending couldn't roll around fast enough knowing that the predictable sacrificial twist was about to occur and it should have put a lid on the franchise (it doesn't). It is a shame, David Fincher, a filmmaking genius, wasn't even good enough to save the franchise, and it was bound for Alien to start going downhill.
