Crash landing on a barren penal-colony planet with an unwelcomed visitor in tow, Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) contends with a group of hardened convicts while using nothing but her wits to battle a terrifying new breed of alien. The sole survivor of her crashed escape pod, Ripley is rescued from the craft by the remaining inhabitants of Fiorina 161, a group of rapists and murders who chose to repent for their sins in deep space after the penal colony was officially decommissioned. When remaining warden Andrews (Brian Glover) announces Ripley's presence to the inmates, their spiritual leader, Dillon (Charles S. Dutton), begins to fear that her presence will stir up trouble. As a result, Ripley is placed in the care of prison doctor Clemens (Charles Dance), and restricted to the infirmary until a rescue ship arrives. But Ripley isn't the only new visitor on Fiorina 161; an alien stowaway survived the crash as well, and it has planted its seed in a feral dog. Before long, a new breed of alien has burst from the dog's chest, a stealthy hunter that moves on all fours and can navigate the darkened prison corridors virtually undetected. When the inmates start to disappear, the remaining survivors must fight for their lives without weapons to defend themselves. The only person who knows the alien well enough to beat it is Ripley, and while her plan to corner and kill the creature just might work, a horrifying discovery reveals that her fight is far from over. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    I believe I enjoyed these movies even more after having not seen them in a long time. Good special effects, great acting, good storyline, if you like monster movies and you haven't seen the alien movies then you have to do so now.

    Like many franchises, this one started strong and began to peter out after the first two. Each of the first two Aliens was scary, but they managed to be two different movies. The second movie developed the premise while delivering different atmospherics, different relationships, and different ideas. This one feels like more of the same. Yes, the setting--part penal colony, part monastery--has promise. But the movie abandons its ideas about one third of the way in and just becomes a series of scenes where the alien chases humans through tunnels. The alien is still pretty scary, but we've seen all of this before. Not bad to catch on cable, but I can't recommend renting it. As disappointing as this movie is, the following sequels--including the Alien vs. Predator movies are downright dreadful. It's as if they stopped trying. Considering the first two movies in the franchise are among the best sci-fi/action/horror movies of all time, it's a real shame that the sequels are so lame
