While I absolutely love the first two movies in the "Alien" series, "Alien 3" is not as impressive. However, it still has plenty of moments and I do like it more each time I see it. Sigourney Weaver as Ripley is still tough as nails and an appealing hero. Charles Dance and Charles Dutton play characters with dark sides but also redeeming qualities.
There are moments when the alien itself is frightening, and the practical effects are very good. The early CGI of the xenomorph in motion is shoddy.
The atmosphere and look of the maximum security prison in space was very neat and there were some inspired camera shots. The opening credits sequence was done well and was a cool way to tell the story of what happened since the previous film. The final shot of the movie was a fitting way to end the tale of Ripley.
