Jim Cameron ruined the series
Why was it so shit?

You tucked and showed your power level choosing the theatrical ending. Ripley's death is more powerful in the assembly cut, no chestburster. She had time, she could have got to the ship and had surgery but chose to end it all.

>-Almost all of the characters are violent criminals, who are impossible for reasonable viewers to care about, or empathize with. The minders are an unpleasant man who, though he literally did nothing wrong, is likewise unsympathetic, and another fellow whose defining character trait is that he is stupid, and therefore again difficult to care about. The baldness of the cast underlines its fungibility. Stupid people will incorrectly reply that it's wrong for a viewer to want sympathetic characters, when the opposite is true, especially in a horror film: when a character is sympathetic, it makes their death that much more gratifying. The closest the film comes to this is Clemens' death; moments later, the audience cheers at Andrews' death.
-There is no appreciable technology, which again makes for a charmless production in a technology-heavy franchise, up till this point. Stupid people will incorrectly reply "that's the point, a bleak Christian apocalyptic setting, contrasting with earlier stuff" This is a canard; that something is "the point" does not suddenly or necessarily endow the story with deeper meaning, or make for an experience that is in any sense cathartic, meaningful, etc.
Fucking BASED!

What would have been better? I hear this argument every thread but aliens was different and worked for that reason, a rehash of alien wouldn't be better.

this.
the movie fell on its face by showing you an egg shoved in a random corner and never even trying to give a good reason for it.
then later it became clear there would have to have been 2 eggs lol.
the first 2 movies were high concept scripts that people had put a lot of thought in to, 3 has no thought.
it was nobodys passion project.
the fact that fincher made that soulless mess in to a watchable movie is testament to his abilities.
