Monumental ending to a saga

Rating: 8/10 (16 August 2003)

Spoilers Herein Alien 3 is a fitting end to the Alien Saga. It's not on par with the great Aliens, but is at least as good as Alien, if not better. The film gets a bad rap because two loved charachters, Hicks and Newt, are killed off instantly. But this film has a lot going for it. It is smart, exciting, and it has great cinematography, as to be expected with any of the Alien movies. I was very pleased with the script. I have never seen a Hollywood movie that has had such a blatant disregard for main charachters than this one. That is a plus, especially in this day and age, where main charachters, by some miracle, always get lucky and never die. Watching this movie, for the first time, if you are able to guess who will be alive at the end...then you should win a prize.
