  Alien 3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The third installment in the Alien franchise, it is preceded by Ridley Scott's Alien and James Cameron's Aliens and is followed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Alien: Resurrection.
According to the Alien Resurrection novelization, and the original sequel Original Sin, Morse wrote a book (later banned) detailing his experiences on Fury 161; it was this work which motivated Annalee Call in her efforts to kill the resurrected Ripley.
In particular, the alien's insidious parasitic eggs (undetectable until specialized tests reveal them, and leading to certain death) are viewed as the clearest symbol of AIDS.

 DVDFILE.COM: ALIEN 3 review
Personally, I thought ALIEN 3 was neither as bad as most said, but admittedly never really did hit the mark.
But perhaps worst of all, by going "backward" and shelving the multiple aliens and the queen of the first sequel and reverting to the singular threat of the first film, a great deal of tension is lost, and let's face it, we've seen all this before.
Alien 3 has a strong transfer, a bit better compared with the first two discs in the set.

 DVD Times - Alien Quadrilogy: Alien 3
It's not surprising that Alien 3 received such a slating from fans and critics, since it is so different in tone and content to the two films that preceded it that it might as well be no relation to them.
Her own infection by the alien is both poignant and touching, signalled by the nosebleed which begins as the alien is born.
Alien 3 is a different film in every respect from its predecessors but it takes the story of Ripley and the Alien in a fascinating new direction which few people could have predicted.

As the alien matures and begins to kill off the inhabitants, Ripley is unaware that her true enemy is more than just the killer alien.
Alien 3 just wasn't as bad as I remembered it to be from that one time viewing in the theater so many years ago and in fact, stylistically, it's a movie that was ahead of its time.
The practical Alien effects are excellent, but during the last 30 minutes, there are many shots of the Alien in digitized form, and they look really fake and cheesy, and they really start to ruin the mood of the story.

Plot Outline: Ripley continues to be stalked by a savage alien, after her escape pod crashes on a prison planet.
The basic outline is this- Ripley, after surviving the hazards of the climax of Aliens, winds up on the planet as an outsider through and through.
The ending is still a little overtly dramatic, but also Weaver's performance is given more clarity; it's not just seeing her with a shaved head that's worth watching the film, she's given some scenes where she out-acts everyone around her, with her strengths of subtlety and patience as an actor.

Apparently, the alien queen managed to lay an egg on board the Sulaco before she was blasted into space.
To start off with, we're asked to accept the idea that the alien queen managed to lay a few eggs unnoticed in the scant minutes she was on board the Sulaco.
And the concept of the alien creature taking on some of the physical characteristics of its host (in this case a dog) was intriguing.

The thrill of blasting aliens to hell was replaced by an overwhelming feeling of malaise and a graphic concentration on blood and guts.

She even says to the Alien at one point, "Don't be scared, I'm one of the family".
The alien inside her paradoxically dooms her and makes her invulnerable, because the mother alien refuses to kill her.
The Tracks for Alien 3 by Elliot Goldenthal are excellent I agree, but I still think that James Horners' contribution to 'Aliens' is the most innovative.

Her tremendous fight against hordes of alien warriors and the huge alien queen in the last movie and the thrilling rescue of her surrogate daughter, Newt, was all for nothing.
She barely has time to tell the disbelieving staff what’s going on when she herself is confronted by the alien.
Even though she was an emotional basket case in the beginning of “Aliens” she still held it together and faced her worst fears.

Alas, Alien 3 is not the movie fans were hoping for.
Another lackluster aspect of Alien 3 is its feeble score, while pales in comparison to James Horner's rousing work for Aliens.
As a science fiction or horror film, Alien 3 is barely passable, but, compared to its two predecessors, it's a sorry end to the trilogy.

When "Alien 3" was in theaters I went on the first day it came out.
i belive that all the alien movies (1,2,3,4- and the rumored 5th one) are not scary or anything of that sort i actually find them two be somewhat boring.

 UGO Screenwriter's Voice - Screenwriting - Script Review by Justin Clark -- Alien 3
William Gibson's Alien 3 is a different sort of monster and not necessarily a better one.
Gibson keeps the element that an Alien stowed away with the Sulaco, only this time, it's after the ship has docked with a space station in the middle of a demilitarized zone.
After some legal entanglements, experimentation begins on the alien traces found inside the ship, and, of course, everything goes to hell in the worst possible way: the aliens' DNA goes viral, infecting anyone it contacts and turning them into vicious hybrids.
