One of the most under-rated movies ever...

Rating: 10/10 (27 February 2005)

If only Fox knew what David Fincher would turn out to be, director of the critically acclaimed Seven and Fight Club. Yet what he churned out under the enormous pressure that was mounted on him, is close to stunning.
What i love about Alien 3 is that it's completely different from the previous Alien movies and almost unlike anything in it's genre. It's so moody, downbeat and violent and treats the audience with intelligence and a sense of maturity, say, missing from Resurrection and AVP.
The special edition does well to cover up most loose ends and is much closer to Fincher's original vision. Alien 3 is visually stunning, still to this day, one of a few flaws is the awful mo-motion that is incredibly dated, but bar that, the Alien looks really cool.
Highly recommended.
