![]() And it’s a very troubled movie for a lot of reasons. ![]() It’s a little bit unclear, ultimately, what he’s going for. And Alien 3 is kind of neither fish nor fowl. And it’s got to reach a high bar, because Alien and Aliens are two of the greatest movies ever made-one of the greatest horror films ever made and one of the greatest action movies ever made. Even the “Assembly Cut”-which is the version that is closest to the vision that Fincher had for making the movie-is still not that good. But I also think Alien 3 is just not a very good movie. And I understand that he effectively told his story and that led to the way that we feel about his work, and when he is more exultant about an experience, you’re swayed to believe that it’s more successful. I am a slave to the narrative, just like everyone else. Would Alien 3 be here if Fincher himself wasn’t like, “I almost quit movie making after this,” and “They took it away from me,” and “Never again,” and whatever?
