Alien 3 rocks, especially the Assembly Cut, I'm glad a filmmaker like Nolan appreciates it
Still sucks. Just besides alien resurrection. But slightly better than that. The first two were masterpiece cinema in making. I don't blame David fincher for making alien 3. It was a disaster because a lot of studios were interfering.
Agreed, people crap on it like they did The thing, they were expecting aliens in alien 3
It's a great movie, I agree... just not a great sequel, or how anyone would imagine the sequel to Aliens to be. If it was a stand alone Alien film it would be great.. but killing off Newt, and Hicks, and not evolving/expanding on what James Cameron did with Aliens was a massive mistake, taking it back to 1 alien, with Ripley, and a bunch of guys figuring out to kill the single creature is a bad move cause it feels like they basically said Camerons Aliens sucks, were killing that off, ruining that ending for anyone who loved it, and going back to what Ridley Scott did, just different, but still using Ripley lol. Just feels like lazy/bad writing, and de-evolution of where the franchise was successfully heading.. but again I enjoy it as a what if film, just not canon imo.
Two of my favorite directors now is Chris and David Fincher. Good to see Chris respects Fincher and, I'm sure, Fincher feels the same. They have are both magnificent.
Two overrated shitty directors.
Alien is an masterpiece which received many awards and Oscars. Nolan got taste as expected
Such a fantastic pick, probably one of the best original trailers. Even as a kid born in the 2000s, i ran into this trailer on youtube and it scared the hell out of me, its so great how vivid trailers like that can be.
People cry and hate on 3 because of Hicks and Newt, I think it’s a unique, brilliant film. Their deaths set the tone, really emphasising hopelessness
I think Fincher’s work on Alien 3 is remarkable too, despite all the bs from studio interference he had to put up with…
Alien 3 fucked me up as a kid. Truly dread inducing and dark. It was a great taste of what we'd get in Seven.
Alien 3 is totally underrated. The fact that it's such an weird addition to the franchise is what threw people, imo.
the fact that it murdered all the characters that alien S made you love didnt help
I love Alien 3 more !!!!!! Idc about the writing being off cuz it never made me not love the film & how dark it is & its the most gory of the whole franchise by far & it looks beautiful ❤️ so many iconic looking deaths
For me, I think the trailer for Interstellar was amazing because it didn't tell you anything about the movie, I saw that trailer, and I had absolutely no idea what the movie was about, which I thought was amazing because then I saw that masterpiece and was so happy that the trailer didn't give anything away!
Alien 3 just gets better the older I get. It makes sense Nolan would like it though. It's a downer, sure, but it ends on a triumphant note. Sort of like The Dark Knight in a way.
I really need him to do horror now.
I'd love to see how he could work horror into blood meridian
Alien3 is a fine film. It just hurts that the investment I/we had in Newt & Hicks was casually erased.
When you set the third in a YY prison, then, writing out the kid was a must to be fair....
The loss of Hicks & Newt ads to the heart break of the story, That monster has haunted Ripply till her dying breath.
Newt and Hicks are flat one dimensional characters I honestly never understood the ridiculous amounts of love they get.
They weren't casually erased, their deaths were brutal, and served to feed the general brutality of the film.
@@jamessunderland7435 I respect your opinion but you're acting as if they couldn't have been deepened, and fleshed out as characters since they were "one dimensional" in Aliens..
Which of the characters in Alien 3 that replaced them were so much better character wise? Funny how no one seems to remember any of them. Doesn't seem like it was worth it to replace these poorly written, overrated, "one dimensional characters" you speak of lol. (Which are the fan faves of the Alien Franchise behind Ripley).
You don't kill off fan faves off screen before the sequel, you deepen their characters in the sequel, and kill them off IN THE FILM if need be. That was an absolutely Horrible writing choice imo.
"Remember when they got away at the end of Aliens!? WELL THEY DIDN'T! THEY DIED!" 🤣
Unpopular opinion: Alien 3 is the third best movie in Alien franchise!
for me is the best
HELL YES! Nolan just got waaaaaay cooler! ALIEN³ is severely underrated
Incredibly based.
I love Alien 3 (most rewatchable of them) yes I know it’s was a poophole to make/remake by greedy producers cast and story rocks. Great great flick…Alien and Alien2 are awesome I just rewatch 3 most.
Only problem with Alien 3 is it came after Aliens. If it had been after Alien it would have had better reception. I was disappointed seeing it in 1992. Having rewatched it recently I thought it was very good. I understand the movie is meant to be. Its meant to dark and depressing because the Alien has ruined Ripleys life. Yet she was brave enough to make sure it the Alien never got brought to earth. She didn’t have to go with the marines in Aliens and she could have allowed them to remove the queen inside of her in Alien 3 but she chose to sacrifice herself instead to make sure the Alien died as well. In the Alien 3 special edition when Ripley falls to her death they don’t show the Alien popping out of her chest. I couldn’t figure out why because I thought the way she grabbed it so it couldn’t jump away was one last heroic act by Ripley. Now I understand why they took that out and it’s because it shows Ripley still had time to allow the Dr’s to remove it. That makes her sacrifice even more heroic because in the original she was gonna die regardless because they wouldn’t have had time to take it out her body.
The first 2 are absolute classics and the 3rd one isn’t as good but it’s a fitting end to the trilogy. In regards to Alien Resurrection I think its an ok movie but it’s not the same Ripley from first 3 movies.
I consider Alien 3 a flawed masterpiece. Despite the film not being truly David's vision, his mark is still very much present.
Todo muy bien ok 😮👍😘🤗😉😊💙💖💙😘
Im in the bauman camp. 3 is better than 2.
Honestly ive also been seeing some reappraisal for Alien: Resurrection that makes me appreciate that film more in retrospective. Watch the video by coldcrashpictures, in hindsight I love the Alien franchise quite a lot becuz every film took a risk, a genuine big risk, not many franchises have this, most devolve into direct-to-video cheap marketing bs. But all of these films had a unique talented well-known artistic director, who portrayed their vision with competent production teams. Even Prometheus, and Alien: Covenant, however shit u might think them, they have unique ideas, unique looks to them, every film in this franchise u can hate but you can’t take away that they took creative risks,
@@GuineaPigEveryday resurrection isnt bad at all. It has some of the best horror elements with that scene of all the ripley lab experiments. Though id argue that 2, and covenant didnt take a whole lotta risk. Covenant seems like a backtrack from the risk scott was taking with prometheus. No one appreciated prometheus at the time, so they just threw out the concept of tracking down mankinds creators in favor of action shlock like 2. I was really disappointed that we never got to know why the blue dudes turned on mankind, or more about them in general. The only ones that are straight bad are the AVPs.
@@GuineaPigEveryday 1-3 fantastic. Resurrection is still 💩
My personal thought is with the sole exception of Alien Covenant, every Alien film has had something substantial of value to explore cinematically or thematically.
Alien was all about surviving against something that was pure destruction brought upon by corporate researchers going too far.
Aliens was a Post-Vietnam style story of PTSD and moving forwards, finding peace and allowing the lone survivor to reclaim their lost family.
Alien 3 then is the antithesis of Aliens, the reality in which there is no escape. It's one of the most blatantly nihilistic Hollywood films ever made, and there is something to admire about that.
Alien Resurrection by contrast doesn't really have many deep themes. The script by Joss Whedon is about as deep as a puddle. Beyond the implied romance between Ripley and Call and the over-done motherhood motif with the baby Alien (Something Aliens handled with more care), it's not thematically very interesting. But cinematically? I kind of adore it. If Alien 3 was hardcore cinematic realism, Resurrection is over-the-top cinematic style. I can almost try to see Resurrection as Weyland Propaganda in the Alien universe it's so over-stylized. It's ironic that Whedon tried to scapegoat the director when everything good about this film came from the director. Not Whedon.
And then there's Prometheus. I LOVE Prometheus. I think it's an exceptional film that addresses a lot of themes of creation, humanity, and how we separate both from monsters and machine. It's why I hate Covenant so much, that film felt like a forced studio apology to the crybabies who thought Prometheus was too different or "artsy" to be an Alien film (Nevermind that Alien ALWAYS had artsy themes...). Though even then, brief moments of Covenant do dwell back into that kind of motif. Alas, we never truly got Prometheus 2.
The fact that a hack director like Christopher Nolan likes Alien 3 explains a lot.
Find it near impossible to think there isn't ONE film you enjoy by him.
@@jstdun The Prestige wasn't horrible. But with the possible exception of Interstellar (which I haven't seen) he hasn't made anything worth watching in 18 years. His Batman films were boring, Inception was so tedious I couldn't make it past the first hour. Dunkirk and Oppenheimer were both godawful, as well as being snooze fests.
@@Beery1962 definitely a hot take. Strongly disagree for the most part. Personally love The Prestige, Interstellar, and Dark Knight. But respect the perspective
Alien 3 is a piece of shit.
