Alien 3/Resurrection "plot hole"

The Queen's very athletic, what can I tell ya.

The movie starts out very good. I like the dream-like atmosphere it creates. But a big issue the film has (apart from the goofiness) is that the sense of urgency dies and people just start loligaging around and making wisecracks. I do wish they threw whedon's work in the bin, honestly, because most other aspects of the film is ok when you think about it.

I agree, the film works till Charles Dance dies. Then we get monologues and speeches.. this is not Masterpiece Theater. XD  

Pretty sure they are talking Resurrection as Whedon is quoted. Charles Dance isn't in that movie!

There were chunks of alien all over the lead works. I guess they wanted the queen, but if they are cloning the Alien left plenty of genetic material. There was also a facehugger or two. Hell,  the Sulaco has eggs on it. Screw AR. Lol.

Also, my 6 year old was not pleased with Alien 3. Very sad "Rippee" died.

My parents didn't want show me Alien ³, despite having watched Alien and Aliens. Despite my begging and the poster 'looking cool'. I never understood why.


Until I finally watched the first 20-30 minutes with parents present at age 9 or 10 and bawled and left the room after. My mom was just like "Yeah, this is kind of why..."

I love it now of course, but holy hell are the first 30 minutes a gut punch if you've never seen it.

Oopsie. I thought they were talking Alien3, but I see goofiness, yeah that's Resurrection.

We get those before he dies too.

But the requiem sermon for Newt and Hicks is good, and how it is cut with the Runner Alien birthing; Ripley's nose bleeds and then the dog or ox tares open with blood, great shot!

One of my favourite scenes in the whole franchise.

Mine too. It felt so Giger worthy. Alien3 really just needs a new edit to be better.

I never had a problem with Alien 3.  I think its the only film that ever grew on me in the franchise to like it even more as the series aged. 

When I was a kid it was Aliens-Alien-Alien 3

Then it became Alien-Aliens/Alien3.  I like it just as well as the second movie, which I think has aged the worst out of the three.  It's still great.  I just don't think it's as great as I once thought it was. 

Alien Res was always too goofy for me.  That has been my one consistent problem since I saw it in theaters in 97.  Wasn't serious enough. 

I remember SciFi had an edit of it back when tv couldn't show all the gore or have all the cussing and it was so much better without all the awkward Perez pulls his brain out and looks at it moments. 

Oddly enough, I've still seen Resurrection more times than I've seen most other movies from other franchises.

Alien 3 was the first alien movie I saw entirely. Before that there was the first half of Aliens.
