Though a wonderful openingssequence, with etheral voices underlining the alien's attack, this is the worst of the Alien movies so far (still have to see 4, "Insurrection"). The plot is thin (how did the alien get aboard the ship in the first place?), from the beginning the alien is filmed quite directly.
Much more of a monstermovie than a thriller/horror, this film fails to provide the tension and mood of the first two films.
Written by the same guys, "Alien3" is directed by David Fincher ("Se7en", "Fight Club", "The Game", "Panic Room"). The fourth is directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet ("Le fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulain")...
