Alien 3 is a difficult movie for me to review. It's, on its own, an extremely well-done horror film. David Fincher (Gone Girl, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) managed to take an extremely troubled production and bring it together in a moving, terrifying, and gritty science-fiction piece. Alien 3 contains numerous memorable scenes, emotional gut punches, and impressive bits of world-building. It also ends Ripley's story arc in a powerful way.
