738846, While I don't like Alien 3 as much as the first two, I respect the choice...

to 'refresh' the series and make each movie a different take on the human experience with the Alien.
I haven't seen it in a while but I remember liking it more than most folks, mostly because Sigourney and Charles Dutton were so good.
****** SPOILER ALERT ******
I like that Fincher didn't stay beholden to the audience goodwill built up in Aliens by making Ripley a triumphant hero in Alien 3.
The movie is nothing but filled with bold choices.
If you can get past the shock and horror (from a viewer's perspective, if you really liked Aliens) of losing Newt and Hicks in the first scene, you'll probably be on board enough to like the movie.
