Ripley, still asleep after Aliens, winds up stranded at a prison colony on a planet that seems to be otherwise deserted. An alien begins stalking the prisoners, and Ripley takes charge to help them deal with it.
I was struck by how dated many of the effects shots looked. I know that some of the shots in Aliens haven't aged well, and Alien has some shortcuts. But this movie looked great… except for the shots using a CGI alien. There's another problem, but it's hard to explain. The movie doesn't feel like it has that much tension to it. I'm not sure why that is.
There are a lot of complaints about how it undoes the happy ending of Aliens, but it never occurred to me at all.
