The complete hopelessness of Alien3 is fantastic. The worst of humanity. A run down facility with nothing that works. No help from the outside until -spoiler-.

Alien3 looks like an industrial music video. And I quite like the score.

(I love this movie)

Alien3 looks like an industrial music video.

That's because it was the first feature film David Fincher directed. Before that he had only ever directed (very good) music videos.

The film had so much studio executive intervention that Fincher has all but disavowed it.

...and because they did not use the original script they hired William Gibson to write.

I enjoyed that script. My favorite part is where they go into the garden and all the plants have turned into xenomorph plants.

Fincher continues to nail that nihilistic feel in all of his films. Even his animated LD+R short "Bad Traveling" is dripping with his style.
