Alien3

Alien 3 really seems to miss the point of the first two films and what made them great.

It's always visually breathtaking, and although the chases get a bit repetitive towards the end, Fincher infuses the material with a genuine sense of dread.

Although it tries to resolutely conclude the series, the extreme lack of likable characters and the abundance of contrived events hinder its overall appeal.

[Alien 3] is a vastly different experience than any other movie in the series, and that alone makes it a unique project worth celebrating.

A pattern of studio interference and missteps prevented Alien from being all it could be, but the film is unfairly maligned and still manages to be an enjoyable, if flawed, outing.
