This is a rarity. Alien 3 is one of those flicks that gets more flack than it deserves. The only real problem I had with the film when it was released was the fact that 20TH CENTURY FOX duped everyone into thinking that the third ALIEN movie was to take place on earth (due to the misleading teaser trailer). I kind of liked the different style of the film and director FINCHER's bleak vision. Upon hearing of the restored footage I ran out for my copy, and was not dissapointed. The restored version adds some dimention to the characters and some more interesting plot arcs that make the film seem more complete. The DVD also contains the original theatrical version and a plethora of extras that make this a must have for any fan of behind the scenes film making drama. I'm usually interested in deleted scenes and not so much in making of documentaries. All of the featurettes on this disc are really interesting. It's pretty cool to see all of the turmoil surrounding the making of ALIEN 3, and the painstaking work that went into trying to mold a movie without a solid script or a sympathetic studio. So watch it again, I enjoyed this more knowing that FINCHER crafted ALIEN 3 without a working draft and he was a first time director. I found this to be any excellent viewing experience and the sound and picture quality are superb as well. Great addition to any serious DVD collection.
