Alien 3 saw the disreputable debut of David Fincher 30 years ago. rockmarooned explains why it deserves respect, and how it signaled a turning point in franchise filmmaking:
doesn’t waste any time letting you know what it is. Sure, the teaser trailer was notoriously misleading, with an Earth-centric sell suggesting that the 20th Century Fox marketing department either misunderstood what the movie was about, or made their own mercenary best guess based on what they hoped the filmmakers would deliver. But as the movie itself begins, it’s pretty clear what directordid deliver, regardless of the rewrites, studio demands and crashed schedules that muddied its production.
Seeing this opening at eleven years old felt like I was receiving a transmission from a darker, more ominous place; the previous movie I saw in theaters before my dad toted me off to. For longer-time fans of the horror classic that slowly gestated into a franchise, undoing the victories of the previous film felt cruel—ticking characters off a list while ticking audiences off at the same time.
The movie could even be described as fizzling out if not for an ending as memorable as its unnerving beginning: Impregnated with an alien queen that the Weyland-Yutani corporation wants to remove and “study” , Ripley opts to take a swan dive into molten metal, killing herself and the creature.
