Alien³ Ratings & Reviews
- Marc Marc27 de diciembre de 2025Alien to the power of 3, the title of this movie is almost as confused as the writing, it’s slow paced and lacking the tension and excitement of the first two, some things work, most things don’t, I was amazed Sigourney Weaver co-produced this disappointing sequel.
- Callum19 de diciembre de 2025⭐⭐⭐ – Alien³ — Bleak, Cerebral, and Unapologetically Unkind I know this one divides people, but I genuinely love Alien³. It’s not on the same level as the first two films, and I completely understand why many fans bounced off it — especially with the decision to kill off Newt, which still stings. But taken on its own terms, there’s something compelling about how dark, strange, and uncompromising this entry is. The atmosphere is suffocating. The prison colony setting is grim, industrial, and joyless, and that sense of despair bleeds into every frame. It’s less about jump scares and more about inevitability — the feeling that there’s no escape, only delay. In that sense, it builds on the Alien mythology in a more philosophical way, asking what survival even means when hope has already been stripped away. This is a far more cerebral film than its predecessors. It’s disorienting by design, sometimes frustratingly so, but that disorientation feeds into the tone. Ripley is once again the voice of reason — and once again, nobody listens to her. The plan is solid, the setting is perfect for containment, and yet everything still feels on the brink of collapse. The effects are a mixed bag. The CGI clearly wasn’t ready at the time and hasn’t aged well, but the practical effects remain strong and tactile, reminding you why hands-on creature work still matters. Even when it falters technically, the film’s commitment to its bleak vision carries it through. Alien³ is a strange entry — less scary, more contemplative, and far harsher than the films before it. But it succeeds in its own way, and it certainly doesn’t go down easy. Still not nice. Still very Alien. 🥃 Pairing: A heavy red wine — dark, bitter, and lingering, leaving an aftertaste you don’t necessarily enjoy but can’t ignore.
- Tom Majski24 de noviembre de 2025To me this much maligned sequel is an amazing follow up to Aliens. It completes a trilogy of movies that feel distinctly 70's, 80's and 90's in the best way. None of them compete with each other but they all feel worthy in their own right. Yes, out of the 3 this is the weakest, but considering the pedigree of Alien and Aliens thats hardly a condemning statement. This time I finally saw the Assembly cut. Whilst I genuinely enjoyed the original theatrical release, the extended version does bring it together narratively. Albeit at the expense of feeling a little bloated in parts. Down to the movie though. The idea of a prison planet is great. Isolated and worthless, without weapons or hope of help. Its such a cool and singular idea and really captures the vastness and weirdness of space for the last time in the series. Nothing feels this lonely in the franchise again. The cast is really good too. Brian Glover as Andrews steals the show with surprising backup from Charles Dance and Pete Postlethwaite. The surprising group of British allstars adds a really fun variation that just works. Visually the entire film takes place seemingly in the steelworks from Terminator 2. Maybe the set was still fresh from a year earlier. It looks great and has a tonne of fun atmosphere. Shame the CGI and chase sequences let it down a little. All in all I love it. A total change in direction and vibe for a movie that doesn't even try to compete with Camerons entry and is all the better for it. Considering the production difficulties, the result lands really well for me, which seems contrary to a lot of opinions.
- mickerdoo12 de noviembre de 2025Gotta listen to Ripley. Perfect scenery and plan but pretty disorienting. The CGI wasn't ready but practicals are always so good in these.
- Bryce G.6 de noviembre de 2025I would have rather seen whippets dressed as aliens over the CGI in this.
- smackem1 de octubre de 2025Eh just wasn't good but not bad
- Vincent Reggiannini29 de agosto de 2025If you’re an Alien fan this 3rd iteration of the alien franchise is an extremely polarizing and controversial movie. Director David Fincher really had his hand forced in this movie with relentless pressure from a studio who just saw dollar signs in their eyes. The movie starts off on the wrong foot with a plot choice that just destroys whatever the 2nd film fought so hard for. If Fincher wanted to be controversial he certainly attained that goal, but for all the wrong reasons. Over the years I have come to appreciate the movie for its cinematography and atmosphere but also to greatly admire Sigourney Weaver’s performance. She gives probably the most gut wrenching take on her character’s growth and her emotional grief. Weaver really let it all go here, and she carries the movie through its poor opening. Charles Dance is intriguing enough to hold your attention, but the rest of the cast are all boiler-plate nobodies. Charles Dutton does the best he can with a poorly fleshed out character, but he offers a decent foil for Ripley to interact with. Watch this movie for Weaver alone as she not only deals with this relentless creature haunting her life but an all-male cast of despicable people.
- MetroidTalon22 de agosto de 2025The theatrical cut of Alien³ is a bold but uneven swing. Visually bleak and thematically heavy, it ditches the crowd-pleasing setup of Aliens in favor of grim fatalism. Fincher’s direction is already confident, but the studio interference bleeds through. Characters blur together, key scenes feel rushed, and major emotional beats land flat. There’s power buried in here, but the cut keeps getting in its own way. A frustrating sequel with flashes of greatness that hint at the film it could have been.
- Jordan22 de agosto de 2025Honestly this is my favorite in the series. Best supporting characters, Clemens and Dillon, best Alien in the franchise (watch the Legacy Cut if the puppet bothers you, so much better!), and as long as you aren't watching the theatrical release, it has a very unique and compelling narritive.
- Tommy158216 de agosto de 2025Not my favorite film by any means, but still a legit part of the original trilogy. The extended cut adds some nice extra scenes but the CGI took from the practical effects used in the original movies. Still rank this 3rd best in the Alien universe. All other sequels have been just ...Meh...
- Zachary Sykes13 de junio de 2025What's worse than casting Charles Dance just to see him killed an hour into the movie? Finding out there's an hour left.
- VooKa2 de junio de 2025The original theatrical cut is a rushed mess, with missing character development and confusing plot points maybe a 2,5 / 5. The Assembly Cut adds crucial scenes that explain the alien infection, improves pacing, and restores Ripley’s emotional arc. It brings back the dark, gritty atmosphere the series needs, making it a solid 4/5. If you’re into Alien, this is the version you should watch.
- NonPlayableContent20 de mayo de 2025Same good series and decent story-line the main failure is CGI overuse when the CGI is that dated. Rewatching has ruined the good reveals and that makes me think I would have rated this higher if it was my first viewing.
- Ray Hopkin13 de octubre de 2024I love this movie. I get it that it's not as good as the first two movies, but I really like how the story goes (although I hate that they killed off Newt). It's incredibly creepy and atmospheric, and builds on the Alien mythology.
- zvwj530 de abril de 2025Watch first 15 mins then fast forward to the last 15 minutes.
