Good acting has salvaged many a poor script in the past, but not here.

Even within arguably the most nihilistic franchise in cinematic history, Alien stands out for its consistent tone of despair.

Ironically, Alien 3 is not a bad movie. In fact heres the rub its too interesting to make an exciting summer flick.

There are a few narrative twists, but not enough new ideas to keep us guessing. In the end, were stuck running through air shafts and corridors again.

Its an interesting twist, but hardly enough to sustain a 120 minute film.

If you look at the first two ALIEN movies, part of their greatness was the fact that many of its characters were unique and memorable.

This traditional horror movie set in outer space simply made too darn much money for the studio to simply let it stand alone.

The Alien trilogy is unique.Each film has its own distinctive style, owing perhaps to three very different directors.

Viscera and pools of glistening blood also make regular appearances, as Fincher doesnt shy away from the gore.

There is certainly plenty to appreciate here, but the issues of this particular story are just too significant to overlook.
