Just watched this for the first time. Killing most of the surviving cast was a bold move that I thought was odd, but I respected it. I like when movies do shit that's not safe so I had my hopes up. By the end of the movie though, I was glad it was over. Not a good film.
But how did the egg get on Ripley's ship? How did she get impregnated with the baby Queen? At the end of Aliens when the Queen was on the ship she wasn't able to lay eggs, unless she had one last one in her when she somehow laid when she was a stow away on the escape ship... Ripley never got facehugged either? She came close to it in aliens but that wasn't even a queen facehugger
I'm sure some autistic Alien3 apologist (of which there are many on Yas Forums) will come through momentarily to try in vain to explain away all the plot holes you mentioned, but nothing will change the fact that you are right, OP, it's a shitty movie on every level but visuals.
Wrong Alien > Alien: Resurrection >>> Aliens >>> power gap >>> Alien 3
Oliver Mitchell
what really ruins the film is how they portray space prison and the demographics therein. Seemed a little pale in space jail if you catch my jive.

Austin Turner
bold does not necessarily mean good
Justin Reed
alien = aliens (both for different reasons) >>>>>>>>>>>> malaria >> AIDS >> alien 3 > resurrection >>>> AVP 1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> AVP 2 >>>>>>>> twilight >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. all that other crap
Noah Clark
Did you know 100% of the dark colored space aliens committed 100% of the violent killings in alien films.
Jason Allen
i can only watch this movie up to the point that charles dance dies
he carries the first half of the movie so hard
they develop his character so much to kill him all of a sudden for no goddamn reason other than shock factor. it was cheap
Grayson Thomas
You're wrong though. It's this: >Alien =/= Aliens >Alien 3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> malaria >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> AIDS >Alien Covenant >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ebola >Prometheus >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ellen Degenere's foot fungus >Resurrection >... >AvP doesn't exist so no need to include.
There is no explanation for how the egg got on the Sulaco. The only logical explanation would have been that Bishop grabbed one from someplace when he disappeared with the dropship at the end of Aliens but the egg in Alien 3 seems to be in the armory and a bisected Bishop obviously couldn't bring it there. You could also argue that the Queen had an egg in her womb or whatever and dropped it on the Sulaco, but again there's no way she could place it in the armory.
William Lopez
bishop likely got it earlier. Synths are synths.
Grayson Price
I've seen some wild takes on here but this might be my favorite
Depending on the time it takes to get from The Sulaco to LV426, Bischop could have gotten an egg and planted it in the Sulaco and flown back to pick up Ripley. But I think Ripley only had like 20 minutes from the time she left him to the time she returned.
Aliens: Colonial Marines offers a more convoluted explanation. It was meant to be canon before it bombed. Basically Burke messaged the company during the events of Aliens and confirmed the xeno presence so the company sent another ship to intercept the Sulaco. Somehow aliens got on the new ship after it landed on LV426 and got on the Sulaco when they docked.
Ryder Robinson
Why the fuck couldn't the company find the derelict ship in the decades that Ripley was drifting aimlessly in hyper-sleep when it was sending a signal? They had a space colony, what, 2 miles from there?
Suddenly Ripley wakes up and ONLY then did they lose contact with the colony. Ripley must have the shittiest luck in the universe.

I only know the two albums on the left so that doesn't really work for me
also I hate both ELP and GnR, albeit for different reasons
Austin Morales
They never should have made these movies about Ripley. I don't know why they are so fixated on this shit. Ripley was not an action badass, she was basically a fucking space truck driver.
Robert Smith
The space truck driver knows how to handle Colonial Marines' guns better than the Colonial Marines!
BRAVO CAMERON
Jordan Sanders
Stfu retard
Cameron Powell
I think the original Alien is one of the best horror movies ever, but there are two things that constantly bother me. 1. The bonus situation 2. Not enough cat searching scenes Bugs me, man. Bugs me.
Isaiah Richardson
>The space truck driver knows how to handle Colonial Marines' guns better than the Colonial Marines! I tend to disagree, although I think Cameron is a ginormous faggot. Watch when Ripley is in the queen's lair. She wastes ammunition firing the pulse rifle on the eggs. Use the flamethrower, save some ammo, and then when she's back at the elevator she'd have a few rounds to pump into ol' queenie. She was just being emotional as someone not trained to think like a soldier.
Ethan Reed
>I hate both ELP >hate ELP literally why
Isaiah Hernandez
Not only my favorite Alien movie, but my favorite move overall.
