Where to Watch Alien³
- Dan S Turpin17 maj 2026David Fincher is such an excellent Director, it's shameful how his debut feature was so mishandled and how awful he was treated. It left him forever silent on the topic. This new cut vindicates Fincher and all the hard work therein. Legacy Cut is the one to see. Fuller, coherent and damn good all around.
- Zokkiie1 april 2026Honestly kinda mixed on this one. It’s got a cool, dark vibe going and I did like how bleak it feels — definitely stands out in that way. Some moments look great and stick with you for a bit. But yeah, it never really clicks as a whole. Feels a bit messy, like it didn’t fully figure out what it wanted to be. Some parts feel rushed, others just kind of drift. Not bad or anything, just a bit frustrating because you can see it could’ve been way better.
- Jimmy James15 april 2025Just finished watching the Legacy Cut. It's a vast improvement on the original. Imo it takes the movie from a solid 3 star to a generous 4 star. The CG has been improved; some editing changes; 4k with film grain intact; and in general, a more fun watch. The biggest takeaway is the Legacy Cut was born of passion for the movie; something that definitely can't be said for the other two cuts out there. Given the movie's past, the Legacy Cut will probably be the closest we ever get to a director's cut, and after having watched it, I'm ok with that.
- Vincent Reggiannini29 augusti 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.
- naren shenoy16 mars 2026This was worse than I remember. The special effects were shoddy even for that time period. Abandoning practical effects for animation, we get a xenomorph that is inconsistent in scale and scope throughout the movie. I did like that we were back to one alien terrorizing multiple humans, but beyond that, this was poorly written and executed, which is surprising considering the director’s history beyond this movie. For franchise fans only. Missable for everyone else.
- Otacon!24 februari 2026Alien 3 is a hard movie. I had seen it more than 10 times over the years and I could say that now I have a better opinion of it. Knowing how many times the story in pre-production has changed, how may problems and directors have taken the script... The final result is solid. It is for sure inferior to the previous iterations, but its not that bad. I can't understand why they hadn't had take inspiration from comics that has SO many good story to tell.. but ok, it's an ok movie if you love the Xeno
- Callum19 december 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.
