David Fincher's 1992 debut film "Alien 3", is an underrated sequel to Ridley Scott's "Alien", (1979); and James Cameron's "Aliens", (1986). Set on a planet prison called Fiorina 161, Ripley, (Sigourney Weaver), who is Co-Producer, struggles to survive the deadly aliens. In the prison, there's Dillon, (Charles S. Dutton); Golic, (Paul McGann); Bishop II, (Lance Hendriksen); Clemens, (Charles Dance); Andrews, (Brian Glover); and David, (Pete Postlethwaite).

The darkness and gloom of the movie creates an air of tension of the cold, unfeeling, characters as they battle the aliens. Written by Vincent Ward, David Glier, Walter Hill, and Larry Ferguson, the movie creates an air of doom that causes the viewer to disengage from the movie. Weaver and Hendriksen are great, while Dutton, Dance, and the Postletwaite, do their best acting their parts. The writing, music, cinematography, and special effects, (especially of the aliens, and the set design), still thrills the viewer. In all, "Alien 3" is a solid debut by David Fincher, who went on to direct "Seven", 1995; "Zodiac", 2007; and "The Social Network", (2010).
