Redpill me on Alien 3
>>
Of all the Alien films, its the third one.
>>
>>219257902
There's no pill. Shit sux.
>>
>>219257902
Oozes atmosphere. And also clear direction.
>>
>>219257902
Shit movie made by people who despised the two movies that came before it. Great actors though.
>>
>>219257902
it is widely hated (even by the director) because studio meddling made the movie sort of disjointed and weird, plus the CGI is really bad and people didnt like that it ruined the (relatively) happy ending of the second movie with a retcon that doesnt make much sense, namely the egg on the escape craft. the true redpill is that the movie is imperfect but over-hated. it brings the series back to its horror roots after the action spectacle of 2 largely ditched the atmosphere of dread that served the original so well. Fincher understood that Ripley doesn't get a happy ending - she is too inextricably linked to the alien and will share its fate. as ripley took the queen's family in 2, the queen posthumously takes ripley's in 3. her jump into the foundry with the queen chestburster is the logical climax of the original trilogy and a perfect, dark ending for the series that embodies the idea of mankind vs the indifferent horrors of the void.

This shit makes no sense. The first Alien didn't even come out of her, why would she be linked to it? Did you copy this from some pseud youtube essay?
>>
it was kino, i also watched resurection and its fucking weird but still a good time

It's hated correctly. It ruined the series which hasn't recovered for four decades. Aliens is the movie everyone loved and which popularized the series into something everyone demanded more of. Not Alien. There is no horror root to go back to. Ripley barely surviving with everyone else dying is not a happy ending. You're a fucking retard acting like "le alien is inextricably linked with Ripley so they must fight until they kill each other". It's such an amazingly idiotic thing to say and believe. It's not true in any way. The third movie never needed Ripley back. The only reason they kept bringing her back is because of name recognition to get tickets sold, not because of some meta story intertwining destiny horseshit you're headcanoning. Three is an incredunly stupid ending and it fits that you would love it whole heartedly. They had a great opportunity to make an actual good third movie, but instead have made a dozen shit movies spinning in circles with no idea where to go because Alien 3 fucked everything up. Now we're confined to even more moronic prequel reboots because Ridley thinks his movie is what everyone like which is not true. Fans wanted more Aliens, not that 70s trash which would have been forgotten in obscurity without Aliens.

It's not CGI. For fuck sake.
>>
>>219257902
An unintentional arthouse film in disguise, it's great.
>>
>>219257902
It's kind of boring and filled with failed hack thespians trying too hard. After 1 and 2 it was a maor fuck up. It's not completely awful but it's mediocre and everyone expected greatness.
>>
>>219259074
prometheus and convenant are pure thrash, so's napoleon sos kinddom of heaven and gladiator 2.He's made a lot of shite as he got old.

In the end he may have been a good director when someone gave him a plot and actors and cameras but on his own he;s a fucking retarded little home counties english prick who hates Catholics and the French etc etc because daily mail reading tit and he's an intellectual cripple who read chariots of the gods (penned by a geramn frausdter) when he was stoned as a subsitute for an education. Someone should have pulled the plug on funding him after the last kingdom which was nonsensical garbage.

>>219257902
The novelization is much better than the movie, same goes for Alien: Resurrection
>>
The fact theatrical cut is actually better because of the dog and the queen chestburster
Still bad though

Doesn't matter. The point is it looks like shit.
>>
>>219260827
How so?
>>
ac is kino
>>
Assembly cut is a big improvement
>>
there is literally
literally
nothing wrong with worshipping xeno as a god
>>
I don’t know why I made this,
>>
>>219259611
The problem is that while it's a good film it's not a good Aliens film.
>>
>>219261258
it made me sensible chuckle
>>
>>219257902
really terrible but at least it lead to pitch black
>>
>>219257902
It teaches you the importance of PPE during rape

I have no strong opinions about Alien 3 except that Gibson's script sucked.
