Brief Synopsis: "After escaping with Newt and Hicks from the alien planet, Ripley crash lands on Fiorina 161, a prison planet and host to a correctional facility. Unfortunately, although Newt and Hicks do not survive the crash, a more unwelcome visitor does. The prison does not allow weapons of any kind, and with aid being a long time away, the prisoners must simply survive in any way they can."

    Drezzy50 - I'm a massive fan of this franchise. Some kids had Star Wars, some kids had Star Trek, but I had the Alien Trilogy. Seeing as I saw Aliens first and then Alien, I had some high hopes for this as a tyke, not knowing the negative aura surrounding its questionable quality. That said? There's a really, REALLY good movie hidden somewhere in this mess. There's a few damn good performances (Sigourney is great in everything, ditto Charles S. Dutton, and the rest of the cast was better than they needed to be) and lots of great ideas, but the constant changes made by producers Giler and Hill ruined everything. You'd think that they'd have learned from this mistake, but no: Alien Resurrection saw similar changes from the producers without the consent of neither director nor screenwriter, further resulting in a shyte movie, whereas Alien and Aliens saw Ridley Scott and James Cameron, respectively, have virtually total control over the end product (though Scott often conversed with producers due to the budgetary constraints and asked Roy Schusset/Dan O'Bannon for their input as they came up with the story and screenplay).
    Bryan Lienesch48 - Such a letdown compared to Scott's and Cameron's films. Fincher does virtually nothing different and fails to keep your attention to boot.
