I was so sad when I saw it at the theater. But I learned to give credit to this film. It is not a bad movie at all. And I kind of end up loving its dark, relentless and cruel quality.
The night we came back from the movies after seeing that was the longest night of my life 😮. I just lied awake in bed on that hot summer night, looking up at the fan. Not only was it disturbing and creepy, but it taught me about mortality lol. Newt and Hicks, whom I loved from Aliens just coldly die in the beginning and they even show you the inside of Newt's chest cavity as they pry it open during the autopsy 🤮😭. But Ripley falling into the fires at the end just killed my soul. She was my hero.
@@conatchaand they nailed the ambiguous and grimy aesthetic from Alien. Not being able to see everything in a room or have any idea of the space around them really made it scarier. After I got done mourning my childhood, I started to appreciate how they went back to basics in a lot of ways. They didn't have military or conventional weapons in Alien, and they didn't in Alien 3 either.
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.
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.
@@ReadyPlayerTomVR Growing up on these movies the trilogy felt on the same page for me in terms of quality. I never had a single bad feeling about Alien3. Alien Resurrections sticks out just simply because of the tone. But ever since the internet came along and people - and it sorta feels trendy - hating on Alien 3, I even appreciate it even more what Fincher and the crew had to put up with. The fact they pulled off a great movie even given the Fox circumstances is astonishing!
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.
People only disliked it because thry compared it to aliens. I think it had the best looking and scariest xenomorph in the entire franchise and the best most haunting atmosphere. I even think it's the scariest in the whole franchise. The hate for it is people just following whatevers popular.
Charles Dutton and Dance kill it. Sigourney kills it. Cool atmosphere, some great lines...not sure why people don't like it besides not being able to separate from part 2. I always thought it was great. Sigourney shaving her head and the desperation and insolation of the prison is straight vibes
The themes and metaphors are outstanding in Alien 3. I don't know if it was deliberate on the part of the filmmakers, but for a 1992 film the HIV/terminal illness metaphor is right there. And of course the brutality of being the only woman in a man's world (literally, and the prisoners are all hyper-aggressive, violent and rape-y) is still timely.
@@paulfischer288 great point and that may have been a legit thought by some who worked on it at some point...her shaved head representing a terminal cancer like the alien itself is a cancer/plague on life in the universe...and HIV with movies like Philadelphia and the real world on MTV, magic Johnson driving the zeitgeist on the subject for a minute back then too. But yeah alien 3 hit me at just the right age...after Terminator 2 not long before it... Linda Hamilton and sigourney being tough and iconic against literally monsterous odds... Some of the lines in these movies are just too good. If alien 3 has bad dialogue, speeches or is short on iconic moments - what the hell does most "content" of today have? I so love dutton's two speeches. The one at the funeral and when they plan to kill it. The alien near sigourney's head is beyond iconic and back then I was young enough to think the marketing and videogames for alien 3 were all pretty dang cool and atmospheric too
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.
Exactly. And wankers say it was shit and pointless because of the hopelessness. THATS the point. You can’t beat the xeno!!! I watched it at 10 years of age and I was GUTTED hicks and newt didn’t make it out. Gutted at the ending. THAT was the point. 42 now and I adore downer endings. Cos I’ve learned. LIFE SUCKS and you CANT WIN.
@@JonJonJonJonJonJonJonJon My head Canon is that's the last film. There is no alien resurrection that cheapens Ripleys sacrifice for the sake of another go at the box office.
@@reniisgodnot sure if the assembly added too much. The alternative gestation was really cool but all the bloat about Golics religious breakdown wasn't necessary.
Personally there are a few things I don't like in the Assembly Cut and that I actually prefer how they were done in the theatrical cut, and I think some may agree with me. Golic releasing the xenomorph for an example felt a bit too contrived for the sake of plot. It scaping by itself not only is scarier, it's given more credibility to the threat everyone was facing. Even if they trapped it, they wouldn't be safe. I also prefer the chestburster popping out at the end, it makes Ripley's decision even more solid about how it was all just a lie by the company to convince her to give up, not to mention Ripley holding the chestburster, just beautiful. Ripley having for the first time such a close encounter with a xenomorph, her holding it so it will go the grave with her and her basically embracing the only child left she can hold ever since her own daughter Amanda as well as her surrogate daughter Newt passed away. The xenomorph is the monster that cursed her forever all these years, getting everyone she knows and loves around her killed, so she finally comes full circle by accepting her fate and becoming the devil's baby momma and going straight to heII.
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.
Thank you for enlightening me on the removal of the chestbursting scene :D I always wondered why that part was skipped for the Assembly Cut. Makes a lot more sense to me now :P
Yeah, basically you have to consider these 3 movies as more of a Ripley story than anything else. How her character evolves over the course of all these years dealing with the fact she's been cursed by fate to forever be chased by this perfect killing machine until she realizes the only way for her to break it is by giving her life away and taking the monster with her, so she can finally rest and be free.
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!
1. His British accent is remarkable 🎉 2. Don't be surprised by his opinion, Christopher also stated that he's a huge fan of the Fast and Furious series as well
When I was younger, me and all my friends always assumed the only place left to continue the Aliens story is to come to Earth to fight. Still want to see that.
The idea of the xenomorph dog was and still is genius. That xenomorph dog was more deadly than the xenomorph person. They could have tried it with other animals. Bird. Tiger. Elephant.
Yeah, the whole movie is about how merciless and non-respecting of persons of death is. That gut punch you feel at how unceremoniously they’re killed off is *on purpose*. But people cling to happy storybook endings so much, they can’t accept it.
@@scottlovesmoviestoomuchthey could’ve at least killed them off on screen. It was disgraceful how they treated those characters. I don’t care about happy story book ending, but they totally mishandled the opening
I hate Alien 3 because it completely disrespected the best Alien movie, Aliens, with some of the stupidest reasoning ever, if that had been set up at all in the ending of Aliens, it would have been fine, but it hadn’t been, and the fact they needed to twist everything around so much to fit into this new story, just made it clear that they wanted to make a sequel to the first film, not a sequel to Aliens
@@MyNameIsRow01 the game aliens colonial marines actually retcons hicks death (not newts though) and Ridley Scott considers that canon so we could get a movie that follows alien 3 that also has hicks
@@zanerinsane1574 at this point, idk, there would be no reason to do anything with those characters, if they had done it 30 years ago with Alien 3, that would have been the optimal time to do it, not now
I remember the very first thing to do with Alien 3 was a good bit before they even filmed it. It's hard to remember (so long now), but I think it was in a comic or a sci-fi mag, a one-page simple advert saying "Alien 3...The queen is dead; long live the king." I never saw anything else saying that. The next stuff was hints of it being on earth.
@@obscure.referencethe original screenplay of alien 3 kept them alive but hardly present. Ripley was in a coma and newt was shipped off to Gateway. The entire movie would've been about hicks and bishop.
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
@@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!" 🤣
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.
Funny thing is AVP shows that The Predators had a Queen on Earth under Antarctica imprisoned in ice since before any Human Civilization existed… so yes an alien did get to Earth, just not in an Alien flick.
I felt Alien 3 was a solid movie for the first 2/3rds. The aliens moving around quickly made it fall apart with the conpositing and CG elements for me, along with some weird story choices, but it was definitely not as bad as I'd heard overall.
Yeah Alien 3 is dunked on too much. I always liked it, because it’s the first alien film I watched. There was a real “survivalist” narrative there, where in subsequent films they went for action that didn’t really land. For as flawed or different concept 3 was, the trilogy gives you pretty much all aspects of the combat and survival against a creature like the xenomorph
Alien 3 f@@@ed up with killing Hicks and Newt off screen but most of the movie is good. I dig the darker vibe, but they should've killed Hicks off around the one-hour mark and Ripley still dies at the end. Newt and Bishop survive or something like that.
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 think ALIEN³ would have been better if it were revealed at the end to be a hypersleep nightmare. Newt and Hicks dying does a great job of setting the mood for the movie, but I hate it being canon 😢
I appreciate the attempt at the bleakness of Alien 3. I like that. But I also hate that bleakness. They kill Newt and Hicks, and then Ripley. It takes the tiny sliver of hope from the ending of 2, and takes a hot stinking dump on Ripley's struggle, who ends her journey in the darkest corner of hell. 1 is about survival. 2 is about fighting back. 3 feels like being violently mugged and stabbed. It's one of the darkest, bleakest, most hopeless movies I've ever seen. It's just a bit too nihilistic and sad to be enjoyable for me, its like Schindlers List or Requiem for a Dream in that regard, it's unforgettable but not very rewatchable.
Alien 3 is amazing (Assembly Cut especially). It's so damn superb what Fincher could do with this first film where everything was against him. I mean, the damn thing STILL came out exceptionally.
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.
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.
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.
The soundtrack is so haunting

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!" 🤣
I haven’t seen Alien’s trailer before but I somehow knew he would answer it with Alien on that question 🤔
Would love to see Nolan or Villanueva direct an Alien movie😊
Really not as bad as film snobs make it out to be. There is ingenious amounts of craft on display in Alien3.
I love alien 3 ..was very grungy ,had a baby queen, lead character shaved her head ,dog alien ..who doesn't love dogs
We need a Nolan Alien movie.
I would honestly watch that.
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.
Alien 3 is a brilliant film when you consider what an omnishambles the production was.
broooo imagine that Nolan directs the next Alien movie...
I would really like to see a Nolan version of Alien or Predator…. 😊
The Dark Knight teaser have a very similar mood and structure to the Alien Teaser.
People are just haters. A3 is definitely the third best Alien movie by quite a large measure.
Im with Chris, Alien 3 is a great film.
Funny thing is AVP shows that The Predators had a Queen on Earth under Antarctica imprisoned in ice since before any Human Civilization existed… so yes an alien did get to Earth, just not in an Alien flick.
He makes it sound like big production😂 im surprised he doesn’t know it’s just a egg on a sheet of brownies
Alien 3 is scary and amazing, i mean i like the scene where some brits split and died so hard to trap the dragon beast. It's like pac man😊
Nolan needs to make an alien film
How do people remember trailers for movies.... is my memory just shit? 😭
All three alien movies had their own style and great story telling. Everything that came after only tried to recapture those things.
This might be the greatest thing Nolan has ever said, and I will no vehemently defend him as a filmmaker- purely for this accurate and correct opinion
He is high up there
One of Nolan’s hot takes 😂
Where does one find the Assembly Cut of Alien 3?
Incredibly based.
I’m a fan of Alien 3 myself
Smart people like Alien 3.
I love Alien 3 and knowing that one of the goats loves it makes me feel justified
If chris made alien movie it would be fucking awesome
Unpopular opinion: Alien 3 is the third best movie in Alien franchise!
for me is the best
I don't think that can be considered unpopular by many
That spot goes to Romulus now
Not unpopular. It’s easily the third best movie.
He should do an alien movie
Alien 3 plays out much better if you think of it as the sequel to withnail and I
Give me a Nolan movie with Charles Dance, please.
I would love Alien 3 if I didn't also love characters from Aliens.
Todo muy bien ok 😮👍😘🤗😉😊💙💖💙😘
Alien 3 is not a bad movie but it was again they were marketing it before it was anywhere near finished.
I felt Alien 3 was a solid movie for the first 2/3rds. The aliens moving around quickly made it fall apart with the conpositing and CG elements for me, along with some weird story choices, but it was definitely not as bad as I'd heard overall.
You can hate 'Alien³' as much as you want, when it comes to filmmaking, you can't deny Fincher and Weaver did a great job with it.
Alien 3 is a great film. It's one of my favourite in the series.
Alien 3 is my favorite in the series , its the one that i always go back to watch the most for some reason
Yeah Alien 3 is dunked on too much. I always liked it, because it’s the first alien film I watched. There was a real “survivalist” narrative there, where in subsequent films they went for action that didn’t really land. For as flawed or different concept 3 was, the trilogy gives you pretty much all aspects of the combat and survival against a creature like the xenomorph
Alien 3 f@@@ed up with killing Hicks and Newt off screen but most of the movie is good. I dig the darker vibe, but they should've killed Hicks off around the one-hour mark and Ripley still dies at the end. Newt and Bishop survive or something like that.
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 think ALIEN³ would have been better if it were revealed at the end to be a hypersleep nightmare. Newt and Hicks dying does a great job of setting the mood for the movie, but I hate it being canon 😢
Directors cuts alright
Crazy how the reason newt wasn’t in the movie was because most of the writers didn’t like her because they thought she was annoying
Everyone’s allowed to have an opinion. I agree with the majority that Alien 3 sucks. But if you like it I’m glad, I wish I liked it too.
Alien 3's only flaw is the CGI
Damn, I never realized how faint his accent is.
Bruh, Nolan said he loved Alien 1 not 3s trailer
I appreciate the attempt at the bleakness of Alien 3. I like that. But I also hate that bleakness. They kill Newt and Hicks, and then Ripley. It takes the tiny sliver of hope from the ending of 2, and takes a hot stinking dump on Ripley's struggle, who ends her journey in the darkest corner of hell. 1 is about survival. 2 is about fighting back. 3 feels like being violently mugged and stabbed. It's one of the darkest, bleakest, most hopeless movies I've ever seen. It's just a bit too nihilistic and sad to be enjoyable for me, its like Schindlers List or Requiem for a Dream in that regard, it's unforgettable but not very rewatchable.
Alien 3 is amazing (Assembly Cut especially). It's so damn superb what Fincher could do with this first film where everything was against him. I mean, the damn thing STILL came out exceptionally.
Great director with great taste
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.
For me, it's Alien, Alien 3, and Aliens. The other movies don't exist.
It's an excellent movie.
most of the problems in Alien 3 are done by the studio actually
His the only one then.
Interesting. I was really disappointed with number 3.
IF Nolan says is a great movie, well, it has to be so.....
Should have just made it all new characters
Director's cut is better, not the best movie, but it was a decent one. Could have been better if they didn't have so many cooks in the kitchen
