Alien 3, while still a very good movie,does not quite meet the standard
of Alien and Aliens.there are some good things about this movie.one is
the setting.the movie takes place on Fiorina 161 ,a remote prison
planet.i won't give any more plot details away,but let's just say that
there is tension right from the start.this movie is very action
oriented,not a lot of suspense,and lots of blood for this series.the
alien has evolved,both the look of it,and also its characteristics and
capabilities.there is also another danger to contend with,something
unexpected(or maybe expected.)Anyway,this movie is more of an
action/gore film,which is much lighter in tone than the first two
films.the feeling of imminent danger or peril is lacking here.there is
very little buildup to the killing.so,while still an entertaining
movie,it doesn't quite reach the lofty heights it could have. 3.5/5
