Never make a Third one

Rating: 3/10 (23 April 2019)

There's never been a third instalment of a movie franchise worth making. Think about it -- Bond. Rocky. Godfather. Superman. Rambo. Mad Max. Lethal Weapon. Halloween. Scream. Friday the 13th. A hit movie gets a sequel to please fans and sell tickets. The third movie gets made to blatantly grab cash from the rubes.
Alien Cubed is no exception.
There just aren't any characters to root for in this film. Nobody wants to see a grim Sigourney Weaver with a shaved head emoting about her doomed pregnancy. And even fewer than zero people want to watch a bunch of babbling dirty Brits with shaved heads recreate Alien for an hour.
This might be a passable movie if you've never seen Alien and Aliens. Just like you might think Little Nicky is the funniest movie ever made if you'd never seen another comedy.
David Fincher was very fortunate his career survived this mess. Although, looking at his resume, he's basically only directed two watchable movies (Seven and Fight Club). Let's face it, he's a hack music video director who was at least smart enough to have Brad Pitt bleed both times out (surefire sign of a good Brad Pitt movie).
Having watched Alien Cubed twice, 25 years apart, I can state that time has done it no favors.
