The film was poorly received upon its initial release by critics and fans of the preceding two films in the franchise. It was considered not to have advanced the story in any meaningful way, instead merely rehashing the first film's formula of a monster lurking in dark corridors killing off people one by one.

Live television inherently has an extemporaneous, spontaneous, and urgent quality that of ...

Although once a common technique, few television programs in the modern era have ever attempted such a feat. The most recent scripted series to do so on a regular basis was the Charles S. Dutton series Roc in the 1992-93 season. However, on occasion, scripted series will do an episode live to attract ratings. Notable examples of shows that have had a live episode include: ER (1997) The Drew Carey Show (2001) The Bill (2003 & 2005) Blue Heelers (2004) < ...

Having escaped from LV-426 after the disastrous Marine rescue mission, Ellen Ripley crashes on a maximum security work correctional penal colony inhabited only by men whose "double-Y" chromosome patterns mark them as extremely violent and dangerous offenders.

A few critics have seen the picture as an allegory for AIDS and Holocaust-era detention camps. The alien creature, as the Village Voice put it in 1992, kills through sexual intercourse, and, moreover, kills men by making them pregnant. In particular, the alien's insidious parasitic eggs (undetectable until specialized tests reveal them, and leading to certain death) are viewed as the clearest symbol of AIDS. But in fact this idea is simply inherited from the basic settings of the original movie "Alien" in 1979, ...

A very early script treatment was written by noted science fiction author William Gibson. At the time of his involvement, Sigourney Weaver "seemed doggedly unwilling to participate," so the main narrative focus became Hicks and Bishop. It is considered by many to be a superior script. The version available on the Internet is, according to Gibson, "about thirty pages shorter than the version I turned in. It became the first of some thirty drafts, by a great many screenwriters, and none of mine was used (except for the idea, perhaps, of a bar- ...
