Ripley then realizes that she is also infested with a growing alien and sacrifices herself and the creature to the furnace, rather than allowing the company personnel to acquire her and extract the infant organism for study.

Ripley gains a heart-wrenching backstory (particularly evident in the Special Edition) that adds new depth to her character.
Both Ripley and the Aliens seem strangely out of place in this film, especially the Queen, who is supposed to be menacing but just seems to be asking, "What am I doing here?" The central group of characters never exhibits the same cohesiveness of the characters in the first two films.
However, there are two scenes here that are worthy of inclusion within the original cut: One involves Ripley learning about her daughter, and the other involves the appearance of sentry guns late in the film.
