I agree. It was the first one I watched and I love every minute of it. The extended cut is even better

That probably explains why you like it the best :) If I had never seen the first two, Alien 3 would probably have come across as a fairly good movie.
 
So apparently this movie will be released in two cuts. Bets that the Rated R version will be 3D and IMAX only? :D
 
There's a new article upon the Guardian Here be minor spoilers which makes for an interesting read, ide love to have been one of the critics who got to watch the first 5 mins or so of Prometheus, tho frankly, i doubt if i could've contained myself enough to sit still & watch it objectivley. :p
 
Watched the Alien 3 extended/directors/assembly cut again this weekend and it flows so much better and is a far more enjoyable watch.

I'd bet real money that the Alien 3 haters would change their minds if they watched the other cut.
 
Just read the guardian article, this bit stood out to me...

From there the descent begins to planet LV223 and, one suspects, the trouble starts.

There is a lot of arguing back on forth over at AVPGalaxy about whether it's LV 426 and the same ship. A lot of members over there have gone to a lot of trouble to point out the differences between the ship we see in Alien and the ship we see in Prometheus.

This latest quote leads me to believe is is in fact a different ship that is simply similar in design.
 
ooh I have the first couple of weeks off in June.
This had gotta be an IMAX release, I'm trying to read as little as possible before going to see it tho :p

Any further info on the different releases?

dont know about that , they seem to be making a point in all the trailers etc about the ship crashing - and it seems to crash in pretty much the position we see it in Alien. The company have always been dodgy so surely after this mission goes **** up is why they then send ripley and co to the place.

the trailers just keep on getting better and better :p

It could all take place on lv-223, but I'm guessing maybe towards the end of the movie, ship tries to leave and perhaps crashes on lv-426 etc?

I completely agree, I watched the cut on a whim a couple of years back and was blown away by how much better a movie it became.

It's still not brilliant mind, but definitely worth a watch for those who've not seen it.
