Fatally flawed because of studio interference, David Fincher nonetheless returns to Alien's roots with this stylish story of hopelessness and depravity. The Director's Cut makes a lot more sense than the butchered original.
Liked seeing Charles Dance. Sigourney Weaver is always good. All in all, pretty much the same quality as the first two parts. Again, some lengths... but OK most of the time.
Fun fact: The Alien effects were, for the large part, all performed with a rod puppet. Unfortunately, the shots were carelessly - or hurriedly - integrated, giving them the cheap, mismatched CGI look we all love so very much.
It's been a while I saw this movie and I had the impression it wasn't a very good film. At least compared to the previous movies in the series. Now after watching this and the other movies again, I actually find it very entertaining and much better than I remembered. Like the first movie, this is a more serious, more grim and slow paced movie with less action and more suspension and horror.

One of the most interesting examples what happens when the studio needs a commercial movie and the director wants to make an art film.Limbesdautomne
Third and last act with the ambition to avoid the easy solution of high-tech. Find the giant monster, he's behind the camera.Read more in French on La Saveur des goûts amers.

back to the horror roots – darker than the original, more terrifying than the sequel, not in the bookhttp://beyond1001movies.wordpress.com/

I saw the special edition 'Assembly Cut'. Flawed but interesting. Good atmosphere but poor CGI & dialogue. Feels more 'SciFi' than Alien(s)...? 6/10.Follow me on Twitter @LastFilmSeen

I watched the Assembly Cut, didn't work, still a mess. I mean, good atmosphere and all but the story was really frustrated me.poppijanne
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I watched the special edition cut of the movie, which is longer (and I think better) than the original.poppijanne
