Last night we watched Alien³. It was as I remembered, pretty bad. Once again Ripley is being chased by the big bad aliens who are determined to kill everything they can. This time she winds up on an all male prison colony and everyone that escaped from Aliens conveniently dies at the beginning (we can’t possibly bog the plot down with that now can we?).

The only bright spot was Charles Dutton, who’s role as the lead inmate was great. He leads the no reformed inmates (they’ve all found religion now) in an attempt to destroy the Alien that tagged along with Ripley. You know how it ends. It’s completely predictable all the way through, and lacks the great action “shoot’em up” sequences from Aliens (there are no weapons in the prison colony). All in all it’s pretty terrible, I’d say pass…
