The action in "Alien 3" begins after Ellen Ripley (Weaver), the last human survivor from Aliens, crash lands on a dark and gloomy prison-planet, unaware that one of the aliens has joined her for the ride. The planet is occupied by an all-male group of messianic murderers and rapists with shaved heads. To make matters worse, apparently yet another alien, and embryonic queen, has ensconced itself in Ripley's stomach. Unfortunately, this fascinating premise never gets fully developed. (Gary Reber)
