ive seen alien and aliens and both were awesome.

my question is : is alien 3 the same as alien resurection because alien resurection was kind of bad but evry one says alien 3 was good.... so i wanted to know whats the name of the 3rd alien movie.

also which is the best in the entire franchise?.thinking of having an aliens marathon with budies.

thanks in advance.

Pfff... Aliens (or Alien 2 in the US) is by far the best! ".... mostly"

I love Alien and Aliens but Alien 3 is pretty crap in my opinion. The storty is weak, the characters unlikeble, the kills boring and the cow alien thing just seems like a smaller faster normal alien nothing impressive about it.. Even though I don't really like the 4th movie either it's better than Alien 3, by far the worst in the series.

Still if you like Alien watch it you might like it I know some who think it's good.

The first movie is by far the best in the series. None of the sequels come even close.

I wasn't too fond of Alien 3, now if they didn't screw around with it and made the original Alien 3 they planned to make then it would have been pretty damn awesome. Sadly they screwed it up and made it Aliens in Prison and nobody cared, mainly because it seemed like its sole purpose was to depress rather than scare or thrill like the previous 2, that original Alien 3 would of been brilliant though...

alien 3 is difficult to describe, its not a particularly bad film but its just not on the same level as the first two. the first cgi is terrible, should have never been used. my film studies teacher says the public never saw it in its prime, and the uncut version is what you should watch...my fav of the series was the first :)

This may be slightly straying from the question but its still related to the topic of Aliens... I have seen them all but dont own the quadrilogy. I was doing some research last night and as a DVD collector i found what would be the pinacle of my dvd collecting career so far... this.....

It's not horrible. It's better than Spiderman 3 if that's what you're asking.

Is that the same girl who was in the first and second? If so then yes. She's in a prison full of males and she has an alien baby inside her the whole time.

Thats sigourney you are thinking about, shes the lead actress and stars in all 4 original alien movies. Winona is only in alien 4.

Alien 3 is very underrated i think.

It was okay. Not good. Not great. But not bad like Alien Resurrection. I liked the addition of the alien taking on the attributes of its host though.

I actually own the box set. With all of the bonus features it offers, it makes even the last two fims in the series worth watching. Too bad the alien head ststue pictured isn't available in the U.S.

The first film is the best.

I do like Alien 3. But not in its butchered form, there is a directors cut available that really should be seen.

I like Alien 3 myself. I don't really like Resurrection that much, although I own the Quadrilogy which makes all of the films worth watching IMO.
Aliens is the best in the series IMO, and is one of the greatest films of all time, with Alien closely following behind it

Yup, yup...

I think theres a trailer out there for it some where with the Marines holding them off and all that but damn just he thought of how epic that could of been, i mean it was really the natural evolution of it.

Alien - on a ship, 1 foe vs space truckers

Aliens - on a planet, lots of foes vs Colonial Marines

Alien 3 - on Earth, planet size forces vs 6 billion population.

Ownage. Obviously it was cut due to how hard it would be to make and budget but damn it would of been good...

no, Alien 3 was when ripley crashes on a planet, and the facehugger that was on her ship infects a dog, and an Alien Runner is born. Alien Resurection was a horrible movie.
