This one surprised us... 👽👽👽 Leave a comment, we're curious to know your feelings about this movie! Join our growing community! ▶ discord.gg/HQFtGkCf37 P.S. Cojo (middle guy) hurt his back at the gym prior to this reaction. That's why he looks uncomfortable in his chair

thank you for actually reacting to this! it kills me when alien fans try to deter new fans from watching the rest of the series. this was a solid film with plenty of homages to the original and most fans only hate it because of what happened to newt and hicks. please check out resurrection as well. there’s lots of things to appreciate.

Raggedy Pack: "well, at least we know that Ripley won't be on the next sequel" Ripley: "hold my beer"

One difference you guys might like between this cut and the original is just as Ripley falls at the end, the Queen chestburster bursts out and Ripley, with her last bit of life, grabs it and holds it against her to make sure it dies with her. It's a small detail but for me it's a great touch showing her determination to out an end to the nightmare at all costs, even as she's dying.

I love Alien 3 as much as Alien (1979) & Aliens (1986). Alien 3 has introduced two amazing things about xenomorphs: the "xenomorphs taking features of their hosts" ability and royal facehuggers. The tunnel chase scene was phenomenal. The acting was probably the best in the whole series. The soundtrack was amazing. I'm glad you chose this version. It's really better BUT there are two significantly greater scenes in the original cut. The dog burster was way better than the ox one. The Ripley chestburster scene was more phenomenal too

The Alien in the fast moving scenes was not CGI, it was a rod puppet that was hastily composited into the rest of the film to meet the release date.

By the way, queen chestbursters stay inside of the host for longer than regular chest bursters. Which is why it didn't burst out of her chest as fast as with the other victims. On another note the theatrical version of Alien 3 does in fact show the Queen alien burst from Ripley's chest. There's a lot of differences between the theatrical and the extended version. Like for example in the theatrical version of the chestburster doesn't come out of an ox.

Glad you guys decided to continue with the franchise. Despite the messy production, I actually liked Alien 3. I had a feeling you guys would like it also.

Thanks guys for watching "Alien 3". I personally like this movie and hate that many reactors don't react to it. No matter what others think, this is more or less a final chapter for Ripley that needs to be seen. The only "Alien" movie I didn't like was "Ressurection". But, I wouldn't ever tell ya not to watch it. One year for Christmas my son gave me the whole boxed set of DVDs of these movies, that's how big a fan I am. It came with behind-the-scenes DVDs and I watched them all. It was so fascinating. They're all great...well, except one, in my opinion. lol Anyway, thanks again for giving this one the chance it deserves.

This movie hits a little different when you haven't waited six years in between films thinking Newt and Hicks will be part of the story only to see them unceremoniously killed in the first 10 minutes. I saw this in theaters when it was released and had a lot of issues with it, but still enjoyed it and felt like this was the first sequel movie i had ever watched that had a tragic ending for the main character. Also, what you guys just watched was the "assembly" cut of the film which was released with the quadrillogy in 2003, this version is 30 minutes longer than the theatrical version. There is a bit more focus on the characters and set up than the theatrical and is largely viewed as a better cut of the film regardless of David Fincher washing his hands of it.

Alien 3 is an underappreciated cult classic. The assembly cut is leaps and bounds above what was released in theaters. Fincher’s first film which looking back you can see his fingerprints all over this. I’m glad you guys reacted to this. You should definitely watch the making of documentary of this. It was a nightmare.

I felt like Alien³ was better than people say

You NEED to watch the making of Alien 3 Documentary "Wreckage & Ruin" - the fact this movie even came out this well is a minor miracle... Also, in the theatrical, the Alien comes out of a dog, we see the Queen come out of Ripley and half the characters just disappear at the halfway point after the fire (As they never capture the Alien in the nuclear waste storage room). The audience mainly rejected it because they killed Newt and Hicks (Along with the theatrical cut not being great - to this day, David Fincher refuses to talk about directing it).

Cholera is an old disease causing potentially agonizing death by massive diarrhea (specifically from the dehydration that comes with it), caused by the bacteria v. cholerae that reproduces in the small intestine. Drinking contaminated water is how it spreads, which is why it's unheard of anywhere there are basic sanitation practices. This is also why Dance's character knew something was up when Ripley asked him to open up the girl's chest as well.

Alien 3 has its share of issues but the characters are terrific. Sigourney Weaver's performance is amazing, Charles Dance and Charles S Dutton are both excellent, all great tragic characters.

I absolutely love this movie. It's religious, it's industrial and gritty and emotional and back to a one-on-all fight, not flashy but artistic and well I just can't say enough about how cool I find this one lol ❤ thanks guys

Alien 3 is really underrated

20:37 "Cigarettes!" and the flying kick followed by Iglis reaction had me dead 😂

Thanks for watching guys. Much respect. Most reactors skip but you didn’t. You viewed the cut that’s a bit more palatable (story wise) while most fans universally hate both with exception to a small niche fan base, myself included. Like the middle guy, sorry I don’t know your names yet, I don’t mind the melancholy. Sometimes I prefer it as it’s more akin to real life. Having seen this move as a teen I was terrified and at the time the CGI looked amazing. Today it’s cartoonish I admit. But the practical scene with the xenomorph and Ripley face to face is iconic. But to speak to the blowback people were pissed about the deaths of Hicks and Newt. Their deaths were too abrupt and a slap in the face for most. The bleakness of the film seemed to follow the same beats of their deaths. No hope. The facehugger featured in the beginning of the film was a royal facehugger. Royal facehugger’s can pass on two “embryos”, one a queen and the other a protector or warrior.

Alien 4 is not that bad actually. It's very... french. :D (the director was french and it just feels in the whole movie) That one is actually the most gory but it's not THAT bad. Oh and yeah, Sigourney Weaver is in it as the main role. (a little fun fact trivia, in case you watch it, she made that basket first take :D)

I don’t mind part three I enjoy it

I have to keep repeating this fact over and over : the xeno was never cgi in this movie. It was a rod puppet superimposed onto the other footage. The only time cgi was used on it is in the one shot where it starts to crack up from the sprinklers. 😉 Another fun tidbit : when the first prisoner dies in the fan, he's calling out for Spike. Only thing is Spike's not in the assembly cut. Spike is his Rottweiler dog. The host for the xeno in the theatrical cut instead of the ox. It's kind of weird they left that bit in there.

I think you should watch the entire franchise as they connect with the Predators franchise and it’s fun.I actually live the Covenant & Prometheus sequels myself, especially Prometheus as I really wanted them to expand on the “Creators”.😊

"Alien Covenant" is a must watch! it is totally up there with "Alien" and "Aliens".My personal view! is that Alien Covenant is just as intense and more terrifying than the originals!. "Prometheus" to me was just a one time viewing! that's about it!..Cheers! ✌️🕶️❤️🎬

Thanks for watching this, I can't recall any other reaction channels doing it... It may not be to the same caliber of the first two movies, but I believe it still has its place in Alien lore, it has a different feel but it is definitely polished enough to be a quality movie of its own. I will admit I am not a fan of Resurrection, but I guess it all depends on how dedicated you are to the franchise on where you go from here. Cheers

I'm so glad you actually watched and reacted to this! I really get annoyed when people say things like don't bother watching such and such.. like they're the authority on such matters and would gladly take it upon themselves to deprive you of the opportunity of forming your own opinion on the matter.. 😂😂 great reaction!! I'm REALLY looking forward to Alien RESURRECTION.. 😁👍🇦🇺

Joss whedon, the creator of the Firefly series, and The Avengers and the serenity movie, wrote Alien 4 (Alien Resurrection). In a way a lot of the characters in Alien Resurrection have a lot of parallels with the characters from the Firefly series... and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND watching the extended version of Alien 4.... assuming yall decide to watch it.

Hell ya! I was on my way home from work saying to myself, somebody please have finally reacted to Alien 3 and here we are! 👽

Thanks a lot, guys, for the great timing of the reaction, it's unprecedented! Thank you for such an exclusive, if I may say so, authenticity of this content, which does not always fit in 40 minutes in the free version). As for the film, I saw the director's version for the first time, and I think that the film, especially in this version significantly, turned out quite well, in its style, in its tone, different from the first and second films, and I think that Fincher considers this debut to have failed in vain and does not include it in the official list of his filmography at all. I think the work on the films is wonderful. I liked him before, less, of course. 1 and 2, but still a worthwhile part! Thanks for the reaction)

Great reaction guys. i was in the theatre when it was released and it was a Rottweiler dog that the alien came out of. it was an inmates dog that was barking at the face hugger in the escape pod when they found it. it was implied that the dog got the only face hugger from the one egg you saw hanging upside down, which was not in the '86 release of Aliens, but as we find out there was two face huggers...

The rest are all great too! Resurrection, Prometheus, Covenant! David probably my favourite Android lol. Michael Fassbender. 👽 Next year, Romulus!

I actually cried at the end of this movie, I was devastated on my first watch of Alien 3. It just felt like they did Ripley such a disservice to her character, Shaw in Prometheus suffered a similar fate too. I believe also that Michael Biehn sued them for using his likeness without his consent at the beginning of the movie.

Yeah thats one of the things I like about Xenomorphs, their physical appearance and attributes change depending on what their host body was, so there's been neat variations of them

Each Alien movie caters to a different kind of horror. Alien - Haunted House Horror Aliens - Action Horror Alien 3 - Locked Room Horror Alien: Resurrection - Body Horror Alien: Prometheus - Slasher Horror Alien: Covenant - Gore Horror

I love that you used the description 'Grimy'.. it perfectly describes the aesthetic of this movie.. also, notice his even when the religious encantations and prayers are being recited, the tone of voice used has a distinct sense of resentment and abandonment which given the location and circumstances, I find hugely interesting 😉

Actually there's an alternate scene of instead of an Ox its a dog that's why most people call this Xenomorph as Dog Alien.

Watch Aliens Resurrection (1997) Prometheus (2012) and then Alien Covenant (2017). I enjoyed all of them. Also, watch The Predator movies. You'll find an origin storyline in them. The predator movies showcase the Aliens in them, too. It's cool.

I get if the 'story' required the past actors not be around, or if they just didn't/couldn't get them back, but killing them off just seemed so disrespectful for all that was fought for in the previous outing; they coulda just had Newt and Hicks alive but still in cryo-sleep. It would have also upped the tension of making sure nothing happened to them during the movie's run. Oh well. Still loved this watchalong with the three of ya. Thanks for that. Really respect you checking this one out, I hope you do the 4th one as well. Unpopular opinion here but I think it's Sigourney's finest performance.

There are two other films in the Alien Universe. the Alien vs Predator films. You would probably want to watch at least one of the Predator films to get the most out of the films.

I cannot express enough that going forward, the comics have the spirit of alien above the movies. In the comic Ripley and crew become a company of alien hunters more or less

Good to see a reaction to this. Too many channels stop after Aliens because their audience insist not to bother. For all its faults, I like Alien 3. Its a good third act to the Ripley storyline and does feel very much like it belongs in the franchise, whereas I felt Alien 4 and the later films (Prometheus and Covenant) feel too far removed from the original 3. There were multiple scripts for the film and I think we got the best of a bad bunch (Floating wooden monastery full of monks as a location....really?). Although William Gibson's draft script was apparently fairly decent and can now be read as a comic/ novel.

Look I have a lot...A LOT of issues with this movie. But even I will admit that it is a very well directed film with some wonderful scenes, and a great score. I still hate it, but I also always watch it when I'm going through the Alien movies. Praises to David Fincher that he was able to do anything with the script and all of the studio interference.

Yay, glad you liked it! I've actually never seen this version, I'm gonna watch it in full now. I'm sure you'll like Resurrection as well, and then Prometheus and Covenant are better again IMO. Not everything is necessarily perfectly logical og chronological, maybe more like new takes/exploring the universe, since not every script were written as a whole series. I still think they all are enjoyable and interesting though.

I grew up with Aliens, when this move was released, the theatrical had a rottie that was hugged, thus the Runner. You gentleman did the directors cut, David Fincher disowned this film due to extnesive studio interference. Dark Horse comics had a whole extended universe that was just amazing, as they didn't know what was happening film wise they made 2 new characters Wilks and Billie (Hicks and Newt) The directors cut showed the Queen Facehugger, that got to ripley somehow. I would say give the next Alien flick a try, you might like it. Good react gents, and Stay Frosty

Resurrection is definitely worth a watch, mostly just Sigourney Weaver's performance. It's def weaker but has its moments.

Personally, apart from the crappy thing they did with the continuity and saving Hicks and Newt in the previous movie only to write them out as dead before this one started (understandable why fans complained about that choice), I actually like the film and story overall. It really has evokes a foreboding atmosphere of her enduring a sort of purgatory just before reaching an end of the release of death and the assurance she denied Weyland-Yutani access to the xenomorph.

Alien3 had an amazing cast, I still enjoy this movie but it was just a shame the production let it down somewhat

Amazingly tragic film. Misstep in tone after ALIENS but the Assembly Cut is NOT what the majority in theaters saw. And Goldenthal's score is BEAUTIFUL. And such solid directing from a young David Fincher from SEVEN and FIGHT CLUB. You made it this far so you may as well watch the oddly terrible next one.

❤This is actually one of my faves, glad you went into it with an open mind

I am really happy, that you watched Alien 3, hope you are also doing the other ones in the series! I really love the atmosphere of this movie, it's biggest problem ist, that part 1 and 2 were, and still are, some of the best movies of all time, so the contrast makes it hard for this one, but as a movie on it's own, I really like it. Be it the assembly cut (the one you watched) or the cinema release (which has quite some differences to this one). A little interesting side fact, the "bad cgi" in this movie isn't CGI at all, it is an animated miniature of the xenomorph, but they had huge problems in compositing the miniature shots into the actual scenes. Only the shadow of the puppet, the cracking alien skull and some space stuff is CGI IIRC. Concerning the "missing" facehugger, there are different theories. One idea was, that the facehugger we see is a bigger one than the ones we know so far, and is a special "royal" facehugger, which carries a queen AND a regular xenomorph. Another possibility (and the most likely, and my opinion) is, that there simply were two eggs, and we only see one, to keep up the uncertainty concerning Ripley for the audience a little bit longer. One of you remarked, that he liked the fact, that each movie in the series is a different kind of genre. That is also something I really liked, 1 is Horror, 2 Action, 3 more like a Thriller and, kind of advice to brace yourselves a bit, 4 is a Grotesque with more strange body horror but also some satiric and comedic elements.

"If there's another Alien movie Ripley won't be the protagonist" Who's gonna tell them?

In the original cut, the alien comes out of a Rotwailer, not a cow. That's why it has a dog appearance.

the running alien was mostly a practical puppet. The compositing was the problem getting it to match with the fire and other lighting

I guess the "hate" for this movie stems mostly from the fact that Aliens is one of the best scifi-action movies ever made. So maybe people had their expectations really high. Well maybe you'll react to rest of the series too. Alien Resurrection next. I'll just say that one has a different feel to it.

One thing I won't hear off anyone is that it's a bad cast. It's an absolute stellar cast, whether fighting a loosing battle with that fact or not, what a cast.

as I said on my comment on Aliens, just the speech ("nobody gave me nothing") is worth the value of this picture.

This is where the Alien party winds down for a bit n the DJ starts playin slow jamz. 😆 Ready to see yalls reaction!!! ❤

I've really enjoyed your exploration of the Alien Trilogy. Aliens is one of my favourite movies of all time and Ripley is just iconic. The final Aliens foursome just had such chemistry I was totally invested in their characters and fate. As others have said, having waited through the years for this third instalment, sitting in the cinema with so much expectation, the opening scenes left me gutted - as did the ending. I went back to Alien 3 years later when the Trilogy box set was released. With less expectation and time to grieve, I found a new respect for this movie. It's bleak and unsettling. It's really all about sacrifice and redemption. I find the end scene for Ripley very moving as for me, it is Ripley's final victory after so much tragedy. There are some awesome shots in this movie and the soundtrack is excellent (the three soundtracks are top notch). It had a lot to live up to and missed the mark in some aspects but I've come to terms with it.

Been waiting for this review! Glad to see it :). Your "Alien as a Demon" instincts were more right than you know. If you get your hands on the "Making of" behind the scenes footage, one of the early concepts was actually Ripley crashing on a sort-of luddite colony of monks on a wooden station / planet that foreswore technology, and she was viewed as a herald of doom, and the alien as the devil. The theatrical version leaves more things unanswered than this one, which I think is why the film gets so much hate. That and killing off Hicks and Newt. I do hope you wrap up with Alien: Resurrection. It's.... different.... but it's still part of the series, and worth a watch. There is a directors cut or some other edition (not sure what it's called exactly). TBH I don't recall what's different. I know there is a different last scene, but not sure what else. Check it out!

I think a lot of people hate this movie because of the deaths in the beginning. It definitely saddened me too but if you take that away, Alien 3 is a solid entry in the franchise that is always switching it up.

The quadraped, or Xenomorph Runner, was originally supposed to burst from a dog. People found it upsetting, so they altered it.

Thanks for your reaction. I like the ending of the third part, it's very emotional. You can watch Resurrection too, in my opinion, it’s on par with the third, and even more action-packed. Very Fun Fact: (Possible Terminator spoilers, but couldn't find the movie on your channel) - There is an interview with James Cameron about Alien 3: why people disliked the third part of the series so much. One of the explanations that James gave is that the audience loved the second part, and especially got attached to the new characters, Newt and Hicks, loved the relationship between Ripley and Newt / and Hicks. And in the third part, these beloved characters are killed at the very beginning. This was wrong! And now, many years later, James again gets the rights to Terminator, becomes the producer of the film Terminator: Dark Fate - and they killed John Connor at the very beginning!!! As we know, most of the audience did not like this film either :))

So glad u guys watched this one. A lot of franchise fans always skip over the later films for no good reason. Alien 3 is a really solid film. Can’t wait to see the reactions to Alien Resurrection, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. I’d recommend also watching the Predator films then watching Alien v Predator.

Alien 3. And odd, depressing, atmospheric movie. I watched it when it came out and then told my friends "I saw Alien 3, it was really depressing." Then we saw it together at the 'cheap theater'. :)

Alien 3 was the perfect ending to Ripleys story. The production suffered from so much studio interference but the film that came out of it all was very well done and very enjoyable 😍😍 Alien Resurrection wasn't very good but still had some great moments

Thank you for watching the assembly cut! from someone who saw it first time in cinema back in '92.... though was too young to see the glaring problems it had. until I saw both versions again years later.. and completely fell in love with the assembly cut. The theatrical version is the worst movie of the first quadrilogy... it's missing HUGE plot lines like how Golic releases the Alien, and others that made the movie make no sense. The assembly cut is my favorite of the entire series. So many people hate on it (most only saw the Theatrical version so I get it), especially after Aliens... but this is not Aliens 2! Dillon is the Best character other than Ripley in the entire series in my opinion.

While I don’t think this one is bad( the cast is incredible) I do find it quite depressing and as someone who already suffers from that it’s a little hard to watch. Definitely gonna watch your reaction though❤

It's real easy to miss and not fully explained in the movie, but when the guy finds the facehugger that got the Ox, it's a unique "royal facehugger" with a larger body and webbed legs. The royal facehugger carries two embryos, one queen and one drone to protect the queen.

That salute is well deserved for Ripley

The assembly cut of this movie is so good.

Something my husband and I talk about quite a bit is that for Ripley, not much time has really passed between alien attacks. She had something like a few months on the space station in Aliens, then went back out and it was just aliens all the way to the end. So it's kinda fitting that you watched the first three within a week or two 😂 I think she got laid because she really needed the intimacy and closeness after almost nonstop adrenaline and she had been playing with the idea with Hicks like, "two days ago" as far as she was concerned. She was Ready, and also very recently shaved 😂

I've always liked it. Watched that in the movies. People don't like it because of newt and Ripley. Also because she dies. Well, the theatrical version has some inconsistencies, though. There were two eggs. One got Ripley and the other got the ox. The CGI was not good. It was a complicated production. In my opinion, this was a much more violent movie than the others, but I guess that's a bit of how ripley also felt. She was dragged into this dark moment. And the movie shows how evil the alien is. It can destroy even the worst people, a bunch of evil prisoners. It's "souless". Fun fact: Sigourney Weaver only accepted to have her head shaved because they doubled the money she was offered. And last comment, it took longer for the chestburst because it was a queen. (The theatrical version has the queen bursting out of her chest before she gets to the lead).

Anyone who asks others not to watch this movie, is not actually a fan.

59:52 "No chance." Lmfao 🤣😆🤣😆

I think Alien 3 might not be as good as 2, but it's still a totally fine movie. 4 is the one where things get strange, and a lot of people disliked that one, but I don't hate that movie either, it is fun to watch.

Personally, I like 3. It wan't what the various producers or writers originally wanted, but considering how many hands must have been in this soup-pot, I think they created decent story for the mythos. After Aliens (2), such an amazing sequel, anything was likely to be a disappointment. It's still a decent enough story.

I really enjoy watching your reactions to these Alien films. One of you is confused about how many facehuggers were on the salako ship. If my memory serves me correctly that theatrical version actually shows another Facehugger inside the Escape pod. I don't want to spoil too much for in case you decide to watch the theatrical cut which is somewhat very different. The extended version was almost 30 minutes longer but it has a lot of alternate scenes compared to the theatrical cut.

You deserve the Views lads you are random personalities 👍💯

The actress that played Newt became a teacher. Aliens was her only movie up until 2013 I think.

Highly underrated. Thanks for seeing it for what it is.

As for the facehugger confusion : that was in most part due to the ever changing script. But as it originally sat, there was a queen facehugger (bigger and with webbed fingers) that was able to impregnate twice. One queen embryo and a second to protect it during gestation. The only time you actually see the queen hugger is in the assembly cut, when that one guy holds it up in the distance and says "what's this?". For the theatrical and all other shots in the assembly cut, they used a regular looking facehugger. Which is indeed very confusing. You can google the queen hugger. ADI did design it for the movie, before it got scrapped for whatever reason. Pretty impressive creature. Sad it didn't get the screentime it deserved. And most importantly : it would've made sense. 😉

thank you for taking on this one, not many does! happens to be my favorite of the 4 first movies!

Glad you guys enjoyed the movie I enjoyed it theatrical version it came out of a dog and ripley as she falls it bursts out of her chest and she hold the alien as she falls the studios interference first teaser was toobe on earth alien resurrection was the next movie 1997

I always recommend watching the first three films as their a perfect story cycle for Ripley. I get why so many people are upset in the opening of this film, but once you get past it the film, David Fincher’s feature debut, is pretty good. I also tend to recommend people check out the alternate versions of the script, (William Gibson’s has been published as an audiobook and I believe as a graphic novel and it is very different.) Alien: Resurrection, (4th film,) is my second to least favorite Alien film, but if you watch 3 are not angry at how different it is to what Alien & Aliens was, then I recommend watching 4. In part, y’all mentioned how different each film has been, and once again, 4 is different…very different. There is ZERO CGI in the film. The effects that we refer to as “bad CGI” is actually bad compositing. CGI & added effects came later, (but in this cut,) though it’s mostly when the alien is killed.

The only math the Alien teaches is subtraction. Sometimes division.

I like all of them but the first is my favorite. I saw it in '70 & still remember how everyone in the theater was stunned in fear & amazement. The horror & scifi movies that came before were left in the dust. My preference order is 1, 4, 2, 3. I saw an interview with Sigorney years ago & she said she'd make as many sequels as they wanted. She didn't mind being type casted as Ripley.

The warden was in "american werewolf in london". He was the main guy at the Slaughtered Lamb.

David Fincher has since disowned this movie. he despises it. he was lucky to get another chance. what saved him is despite the poor reviews and the audience disapproval of the movie, Sigourney stood by Fincher and vehemently defended him in the press saying that he was a great director, a visionary with a future. her backing of Fincher is what lead a producer to take a chance on him with the movie Se7en... needless to say Fincher capitalized on his second chance and never looked back.

This is the first time I've seen this version. I'm the theatrical version. The alien jumps out her chest at the very last second and she had to hold onto it to make sure it died. And I, too, never thought this was as bad as everyone tried to make it. It's not great, but it's good enough.

this assembly cut is actually really good. Alien 3 is not that bad like the fandom claims. It is just very dark and depressing. I understand that for many people it is too much

Also this is the "Dog Alien", or "Runner" type xenomorph, they are different depending on their hosts, good catch.

Awesome Movie and Work Guys, Thanks again 👍👍👍👍😎 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸

“What about down there”💀😂😂😂

So you decided to watch Alien 3 ! It's one of the best exemple of too many cooks in a kitchen in terms of script. I think they went through 5 or 6 ? What is worst is that when they found the right cook, they had little time to give him and little liberty to work on his vision with a very mixed results. There is a reason why there are no director's cut, David Fincher doesn't recognized this movie as his own because of all his bad blood with Fox. It nearly stop him from doing other movies, but doing Seven gave him the fun of doing movie again.I fully understand the people who hate this movie but in terms of tone, film making, production and acting, it's excellent ! It's very gothic and gritty like the original and i believe it was the right choice and should stay the right choice for further installments. I understand people hating on the beginning, removing all that Aliens build and potential story, but it had his own potential. It's a mixed bag but i believe it's worth at least one watch !

Alien3 such a shockingly grim film, it's garnered a cult following through out the years, Alien Resurrection has a cheesy schlock appeal.

It's funny you said that Charles Dance's character should've been in the whole movie, because I remember one of the producers saying the same thing in the dvd documentary. He's definitely the most charismatic character.

Thank you for watching! Yes, people hated the fact that this was such a downer & deeply depressing movie. That plus there was drama on the set with the director & people didn’t know him & doubted his cred cuz he was French. And yes, fans waited years since Aliens & didn’t get their happy ending. I secretly lived this one at the time - though I went into a total depression after- & I’m still a fan! Thanks again, guys!….. yes, the quadriped alien came out of a Rottweiler in the theatrical release- very different.

So glad to see that you've uploaded the next reaction to the 'Alien' franchise - I've been waiting for this! :D

I love how you did not stop at Aliens and decided to watch Alien 3 a lot of people stop after Aliens. Yes, there are some real turds you might want to skip (Alien Requiem), but the majority are alright for the most part. As for Clemens and Ripley sleeping together, she did it so he would quit asking questions she was not going to answer. Also, the reason the queen did not make an appearance till the end is because of the drugs that Clemens was giving Ripley it slowed the process of what was going on and, in the book, he was making his own cocktail of medications. Fyi they did a book for almost each movie that came out. I also have the Alien resurrection and Alien v Predator books then that's it. 😂😂😂 Loving the commentary and reaction. Subscribed.

Surprise! Ellen Ripley is in Alien 4 and now you must watch it to see how! 😂😂😂
