lol@ alien 3 being better than aliens. Alien 3's gigantic plot holes (within the first 5 minutes no less) and the fact that Ripley lays out how the movie will end near the middle of the movie make it so bad I get fumed discussing it. Mostly because I didn't think the plot was that bad - I like the idea of a prison planet, Ripley being impregnated with an embryo and having to kill herself. But the plot was executed so bad, that the ending which they tried so hard for it to be epic and powerful but fails entirely. People say that it "remains closer to the original movie" which is complete garbage. The movie isn't scary, the movie isn't tense there is no suspense. However the set was great.

I once read that discussions for Alien 5 to be made, written by James Cameron and directed by Ridley Scott but Fox decided AvP would have been better instead.
