@Zen true, reactions were disappointing. But for different reasons. People expected an alien brawl with guns blazing, and they got a lone alien movie like part 1. Alien 3 won allot of hearts allong the years, and the special edition gives a good view of how David Fincher wanted it to be. Frankly I liked it from day one, and didnt understand what the fuss was all about. Avp just disappoints in general movie makin history. In 20 years it wont be a better movie, and alien 3 proved to be ahead of its time.
