AlienĀ³ does have that feeling of waking up from dreaming something you desperately wanted, but it is just a dream, the film itself tonally feels very real overall. Opening and closing moments set aside. Aliens does seemingly partake in a degree of wish fulfilment for Ripley.   

Not like Alien Resurrection which practically operates on dream logic.

What if everything in Alien 3 is correct and Aliens is wrong... 🧐😉 Cameron simply didn't foresee Fincher's magnificent vision. 🤣

(I'm now picturing the 'true' events of Aliens, with the Alien 3 aesthetic, and it is glorious).

Too many things I enjoy about A3 and making it a dream just feels creatively bankrupt. I was never down with Blommys retconning either.

Puts all the cool stuff that features things from it in a rather awkward context though!

Quote from: 426Buddy on Yesterday at 11:48:04 PMIt's as simple as Fincher prefering the classic cryotube look over continuity. 

I guess Ripley couldn't replicate it properly when she was in her dream state imagining Alien 3 and Resurrection

Some people get upset at the idea of Alien 3 being nothing but a dream.

I am not one of those people.

I just want you to know that got a hefty laugh out of me

I love the film, so thinking about how to make production stuff like this "fit in" I find pretty fun, even though I know it not to be the case I like to think the cryotubes load from one design into the other as they are ejected into the emergency escape vehicle.
