Product Description

Product Description

In the second sequel to 'Alien', Officer Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) crash-lands on a mining colony planet worked by convicts. While coping with the difficulties of being the only woman on a planet populated by hardened criminals, Ripley comes across evidence that her nemesis, the resilient alien, may have accompanied her there.

From Amazon.co.uk

Directed by stylemaster David Fincher, who went on to greater things with Seven and Fight Club, Alien 3 was the least successful of the Alien series at the box-office. Ripley, the only survivor of her past mission, awakens on a prison planet in the far corners of the solar system. As she tries to recover, she realises that not only has an alien got loose on the planet, the alien has implanted one of its own within her. As she battles the prison authorities (and is aided by the prisoners) in trying to kill the alien, she must also cope with a distinctly shortened life span that awaits her. But the striking imagery makes for muddled action and the script confuses it further. The ending looks startling but it takes a long time--and a not particularly satisfying journey--to get there. --Marshall Fine, Amazon.com

On the DVD: The clarity of the digital picture throws light into some of Fincher's darker recesses, but is unkind to the primitive computer animation (the CGI alien is never convincing). Compared to the Alien DVD there are few extras, although a "making of" featurette that covers all three movies is included. --This text refers to an alternate DVD edition.

4.0 out of 5 starsFinallly....
By C J R on 17 Nov. 2004
Format: DVD
This film was never going to have an easy ride after the sucess of Aliens (1986) and has been heavily slated. I can understand why people hated it so much, the incredible downer after the "happily ever after" ending of Aliens, the lack of "gung-ho" weapons, the claustrophobia of Fury 161's prison complex etc.
I really rate this film. I think alot of people were put off by the fact that the film was so depressing but I think that this really added to the Aliens saga showing the really "dirty sci-fi" concept originally introduced by "Star Wars", - "no women...no freezers...no f**king ICE CREAM!" was a particularly funny example.
The introduction of the "Bishop" human character was also a great, yet disheartening scene at the end of the film and is further enhanced by a couple of additional shots of "human reacting to being hit over the head with a metal bar" which the lack of in the original left some question as to the actual identity of the "real Bishop".
The CG Aliens in this film was pretty appauling and although this was made at the dawn of the "digital age", a man in a suit combined with 1st person camera angles and under-cranked shots would have made the "CG" scenes more convincing rather than using CG for CGs sake.
After watching the "Special Edition" I felt extremley satisfied at how much the extra footage improves the film. The characters were given alot more room to develop and the "trap" scene was an excellent addition. The audio can be quite bad in some of the extra scenes, with the "reverb" on the voices cutting out strangly and some incredible hiss over some of the diaglogue which was quite distracting.
I can imagine how frustrated Fincher felt, this was his directorial debut and having to proove yourself as a director when the studio keep covering everything in red tape can not be easy.
All in al, I reccomend the special edition to any "real" Alien fans.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn Alien 3 review from an Alien and Horror fan.
By Jack on 22 Jan. 2015
Format: DVD
SPOILERS:
This film is a very good film by a fantastic director.
It is also maybe the most underrated horror film ever made. It's bleak tone, deep characters, mentaly damaged protagonist and great direction all carry the film.
There are some issues that keep this film from being truly great, like some of Finchers other films: Fight Club, Seven and Benjamin Button.
The main problem is the number of characters. Whilst it's realistic that there would be a lot of prisoners in the prison, there are too many and not enough get enough development. Only about 5 prisoner characters get any decent screen time, but don't get me wrong, the characters that the film focuses on are very interesting. They are all either rapists or murderers who have conformed to a semi-Christian religion, and the power of there faith helps them destroy the abominable evil that is the alien monster that starts killing the prisoners, as well as the human evil of the corporation that comes for the Alien in Ripley.
Second of all, the fake looking alien. For All those uneducated people saying that the alien is CGI, you are wrong. It's a rod puppet supper imposed on a green screen. The alien is actually very well animated and a lot of hard work went into its design and movement. But in a couple of scenes, the alien is visibly fake, for example: when one of the prisoners throws a flare, the alien looks round at him as it hangs off the roof. There is a clear green outline round it's head-collum.

This isn't that much of an issue, mainly because the alien still remains threatening, and that I have real respect for the effects people who tried this rather experimental technique.

The third and final real problem is that Hicks and Newt are killed of in the opening credits.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsLESS ACTION, MORE ATMOSPHERE. MY FAVORITE ALIEN MOVIE RIGHT ON PAR WITH THE ORIGINAL.
By Kontroversial Reviewer on 17 Dec. 2008
Format: Blu-ray
REVIEWED VERSION: 2011 20th Century Fox US Blu-Ray (Single Disc)

Director: David Fincher

Cast: Sigourney Weaver, Charles Dance, Charles S. Dutton, Paul McGann, Brian Glover, Ralph Brown, Lance Henriksen, Pete Postlethwaite

SYNOPSIS

After an onboard fire, Ellen Ripley's ship launches an escape pod containing her, Newt, Hicks and a damaged android, Bishop in cryonic stasis. The pod crashes on Fiorina 'Fury' 161, a foundry facility and an all-male penal colony. Newt and Hicks are dead, but Ripley survived and is taken in by the prison's chief medical officer Clemens (Charles Dance). Ripley soon discovers the reason she crashed: an alien stowaway was on board of her ship and caused the fire. The alien matures and starts killing off Fury 161's inhabitants one by one. Soon Ripley and the prisoners find themselves pitted against a matured alien with no way to escape and not a single firearm at their disposal...

THE PROS & CONS

While ALIEN 3 received mostly mixed reviews and is regarded as the weakest of the original trilogy, it is my personal favorite. Yes, I liked it better than ALIENS! This goes for the theatrical cut as well as the improved 2003 extended cut, which is even better.
ALIEN 3 is the bleakest entry in the series and has the best atmosphere so far. I also liked the fact that Ripley is more or less surrounded by really bad people, violent criminals, instead of "heroes", but you do sympathize with (most of) them towards the end. That was incredibly well done!
David Fincher delivers one of his best films here, next to SEVEN and FIGHT CLUB, I love his style, it's a huge enrichment to the ALIEN franchise. He gives the movie a very Gothic look which adds to the dark and unsettling climax.Read more ›
