Quote from: The Old One on Jan 04, 2019, 11:22:25 PMI think aside from the performances of the actors-I believe that honestly,the prisoners being faceless was kinda the point.From Ripley's perspective- how many people diebefore they all start blurring together? Dead before the half-way mark.Personally, I think the cast of Andrews, 85, Clemens, Dillion, Morse, Golic, David, Junior, Bishop, Michael Bishop-have as much personality as Burke, Bishop, Gorman, Hicks, Hudson, Vasquez, Apone, Drake-and some of the minor characters are more memorable- I think in terms of performance, Rains, Boggs, Jude, Gregor, Murphy, Frank-I could tell you what they were like as a person, in the same way I could with the naturalistic performances of the crew of the Nostromo.As opposed to Frost, Crowe, Spunkmeyer, Ferro-Which I only remember because of people aping their funny lines for years. But I don't know anything about them as people;or remember them apart from those lines, except someone doesn't like cornbread. Honest to God, I don't see any pacing issues with A3-although I only have watched the Special Edition for years now-it's by far my most "comfy" Alien film.

It's really an excellent film, especially considering it's development woes. It's problem lies in its relationship to the previous film. But even when Alien 3 is deservedly retconned at some point in the future, I will still watch it and enjoy it as a curious alternate timeline.
