Title: A real departure
Review: I cannot express how RIGHT ON director David Fincher was on this one. The mood and atmosphere are so dark,tense and decidedly "cyberpunk"that they practically upstage the actors (who are mostly unknowns and perfectly cast). The art direction is incredible and this is one of the few "sci-fi" films I've seen that actualy manages to portray a believable future.The fact that there are no weapons only serves to heighten the drama. Being a fan of "city of lost children", I expected the fourth and most recent installment to be on par with if not exceed Fincher's. Instead,it simply revisited all the settings and technology we'd become familiar with in the previous films. Alien 3 is a real departure and deserves much applause. The ending is a real shocker as well, and is exactly what i didn't expect from Hollywood...of course, they found a way to keep the franchise alive...
