Lacking compared to its predecessors

Rating: 7/10 (14 March 2020)

Coming on the heels of two legitimate masterpieces in Alien and Aliens, Alien 3 had a lot to live up to. Unfortunately, Alien 3 is a shell of its former films and lacks the suspense and action the franchise was famous for. The film is notorious for having a very troubled production with conflicts between David Fincher and the studio. I tend to lean more towards Fincher's side given the phenomenal films he has made since this one. Alien 3 doesn't have much in the way of a story, but has some okay thrills and features the reliable Sigourney Weaver in her iconic role.
