| Summary | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Lt. Ripley, once again the lone survivor of an alien encounter, crash lands on a desolate planet, which serves as a penal colony for the most violent alpha males society has to offer. Ripley fears that an alien has smuggled itself on board her escape craft. Her fears are realized when the body count begins to rise. Without any weapons or technology, the inmates and Ripley must confront the threat...ultimately bringing her to a decision of some finality. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| The most artisticically inclined in the Alien series, and the third least succesful. Once again, the fault lies almost entirely with the script. Fincher does some very cool things. The world he constructs is extremely depressing in its stylization. It comes off a little too stylized though, and distances you from the story, which is so cold that creating distance should have been the last thing on anyone's mind. When taken with the preceding two films, however, this one seems an almost necessary extension. Standing alone, it seems aloof, but in concert with the first two, there is a kind of brilliance at work. Although there is a vague attempt to create the same excitement in the first two films, this one is much more connected to evolution and genetics and thought. The fear of the first two melts away, almost entirely. It is clear that Ripley is not in danger of dying (and not just because she's the star) and it's also clear that those left to be killed are rapists and murderers, and although it's exciting to watch them try to live, it's intentionally hard to identify with them. They are, after all, ultra-violent criminals. So if it's not a film about the terror of aliens, what's it about? It seems to me it's much more about unbearable alienation and desolation, oh yeah, and there's an alien again. |
