Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) planned to return to Earth after the terrifying incident on the planet they battled those terrifying aliens and especially the fact that the queen alien was in their starship nearly killing the survivors.
Their ship accidentally crashes on a nearby planet which is used for prisoners composed of former murderers and rapisits.
Ripley is the only survivor in the ship while the rest were killed in the ship including Newt.
What Ripley didn't realise was that the queen laid some eggs and a dog is the victim for the creatures to attach to on it's face and implant an egg inside of it.
A queen alien hatches out of the dog's chest and she feasts on the people on the planet.
Ripley discovers that an egg is implanted in her as well and is asked to be killed but she has to help the people out by finding a way to destroy the queen as they are all empty handed and no weapons to protect them from this thing.

 

Originally there was a 2-part comic book based after Aliens which was going to be made into this movie with Newt as a grown-up and the aliens were brought to Earth which would've been a better story but the writer had a dream about this one so decided to make it like this.
You could tell that the producers didn't put alot of effort into this one like the previous two were but it did have good effects nonetheless but apart from that this one bites.

The acting is still good which makes up from a rough plot.
Sigourney Weaver co-produced this one apart from reprising her role as Ripley in it and still does a great job and knows how to act as tough as nails with her part like always since she did in the last couple films.
Charles Dutton was also great as a bad ass inmate but yet a protective one helping out with the dangers.
We have an impressive performance by the late British actor Brian Glover as an inmate as well and does a great job at being intimidating.
Charles Dance also does well as a nice one on that planet showing he cares for Wever's character meaning her no harm.

A baby queen alien bursts out of a rottweilers chest.
A prisoner is slaughtered by a big fan when he was attacked by their queen
A corpse is revealed chewed up and bloodied.
Blood splurts out of an inmate after being attacked by the queen.
The queen is chewing away on one of the main prisoners halfway through the film and ripping his intestines out.
Bishop II ear is sliced.
Some blood here and there

The directing by David Fincher was quite good as well which still makes the film worth watching at times.
He shows a promising opening with the opening credits showing outerspace and then the ship with Sigourney Weaver inside and then those little alien creatures that plants an egg inside it's victim.
There's a great setting with the ship crashing on the planet and a supporting cast playing crew members looking for any survivors.
He directed Brian Glover well announcing his speech about a woman on board on the planet to the cast who play inmates as it does not leave you a good impression as you know they plan to do Ripley harm. He made sure that Glover seemed a little insane while doing this.
Weaver showed great sad emotions after she found out that Newt drowned during the crash and does a perfect scene with actor Charles Dance to see if it's true that she drowned giving that scene a nice touch to start off the story about the dangers of those terrifying creatures.
The cremation scene was well done mainly performed by Glover. Meanwhile, the rottweiler was well trained acting in pain when the queen alien is about to hatch and there's a perfect shot of the baby queen aline as well as the camera driving away from the dead dog while the queen runs away.
There's a real effective dialogue sequence between Weaver and Dutton when he warns her of not wanting to know him due to his crimes.
There's a real perfect setting with small actor Christopher Fairbank working in an air conditioning sort of place with a 9 foot fan and showing great expressions when he first encounters the queen attacking him. Great shots on the queen alien.
He coached Weaver terrifically with her aggression and punching out an inmite after she's nearly raped (I loved it). Plus there was a great brawl involving Dutton as lots of energy was directed out of him.
We also have great camera shots of the queen leaping up and attacking her victims.
We have a perfect dialogue between Weaver and Henricksen after she hooks his chracter up to talk since he's an android that was dismantled as she asks him if there's an alien on board and he tells her the terrifying bad news.
There's a moment that really makes you jumps when the queen crashes in during a silent discussion between Weaver and Dance. Weaver shows excellent freaked out expressions when the queen comes face to face with her.
Dutton shows courageous strentgh making a speech about battling the queen to the inmate cast.
We have perfect camera shots of the queen running after the cast playing the inmates, as well as a camera running towards them, as they try to trap it and other stuff like that.
Dutton also shows great aggression towards battling the queen as well. He was truly a marvellous one to work with.
There's a real surprise close to the ending involving Lance Henricksen but that would be a spoiler if I told you the work on that one.
So the direction in this movie saves the film from being below average.
Most of his work was for pop artists videos like Madonna, Michael Jackson and Aerosmith.

The music was composed by Elliott Goldenthal as his music is very well composed like in any of the movies here. He performed a superb opening to the film too.

[first lines]
Computer Voice: Stasis interrupted. Fire in cryogenic compartment. Repeat, fire in cryogenic compartment. All personnel report to emergency escape vehicle launch pod. Deep-space flight will commence in T-minus twenty seconds.

Andrews: This is Rumor Control. Here are the facts!

Ripley: What makes you think they're gonna care about a bunch of lifers who found God at the ass end of space?

Ripley: Are you attracted to me?
Clemens: In what way?
Ripley: In *that* way.
Clemens: You're very direct.
Ripley: I've been out here a long time.

[Ripley gets out of bed naked]
Ripley: Are you going to get me some clothes, or should I just go like this?
Clemens: Given the nature of our indigenous population, I would suggest clothes. None of the men here have seen a woman in years.
[under his breath]
Clemens: Neither have I, for that matter.

Andrews: Let me see if I have this correct, Left Tenant: it's an 8-foot creature of some kind with acid for blood, and it arrived on your spaceship. It kills on sight, and is generally unpleasant. And of course, you expect me accept all this, your word.
Ripley: No, I don't expect anything.
Andrews: Quite a story, Mr Aaron.
Aaron: Right sir, it's a beauty. Never heard anything quite like it sir.
Andrews: Expect not.

Ripley: How about levelling with me? Well, when I asked how you got assigned here you avoided the question. Then when I asked about the prison ID tattooed on the back of your head you ducked me again.
Clemens: It's a long, sad story. More than a little melodramatic.
Ripley: Try me.
Clemens: [smiles] If you insist. After my student years, despite the fact that I had become secretly addicted to morphine, I was considered to be most promising. A man with a future. Then during my first residency I did a thirty-six hour stretch on an ER. So I went out and I got more than a little drunk. Then I got called back. A boiler had blown in a fuel plant and there were thirty casualties. And eleven of them died. Not as a result of the accident but because I prescribed the wrong dosage of painkiller. And I got seven years in prison and my licence reduced to a 3C.
[pause]
Clemens: At least I got off the morphine.

[Dillon saves Ripley from being raped]
Dillon: You better get outta here! I gotta "re-educate" some of the brothers!

[all the prisoners call Aaron "85"]
Ripley: What's this "eighty-five" thing?
David: A couple of us sneaked a look at his personnel file the day he arrived. It's his IQ.

[Ripley is looking for the alien]
Ripley: Don't be afraid, I'm part of the family.

[to the Alien]
Ripley: You've been in my life so long, I can't remember anything else.

Andrews: I'm afraid we'll have to assume that there's a good chance this simple bastard has murdered them!
Dillon: Now you DON'T know that! He's never lied to me! He's crazy, he's a fool, but he's NOT a liar!

Dillon: I wanna get this thing, and I need you to do it! And if it won't kill you, then maybe that helps us fight it!

Ripley: We waste this thing, then you take care of me.
Dillon: No problem. Quick, easy and painless!

[Ripley and David are fetching Quinitricetyline for coating the prison tunnels]
David: I saw a drum of this stuff fall into a beach head bunker once. The blast put a tug in dry dock for seventeen weeks. Great stuff!

Dillon: Watch your step, brother

Ripley: This is a maximum security prison, and you have no weapons of any kind?
Andrews: We have some carving knives in the abbatoir, a few more in the mess hall. Some fire axes scattered about the place - nothing terribly formidable.
Ripley: That's all?
Andrews: We're on the honor system.
Ripley: Then we're fucked.

Dillon: You'd just better be right about that thing not wanting you. Because if it wants out, that's how it's going to go: through that alcove, through you.

Dillon: There's nothing "for sure" in this place.

Dillon: I don't like losing a fight. Not to nobody, not to nothing. That thing out there's already killed half my men and got the other half scared shitless. Now as long as it's alive, sister, you're not going to save any universe.

Dillon: You're all gonna die. The only question is how you check out. Do you want it on your feet? Or on your fuckin' knees... begging? I ain't much for begging! Nobody ever gave me nothing! So I say *fuck* that thing! Let's fight it!

Dillon: Do you have any faith, sister?
Ripley: Not much.
Dillon: We've got a lot of faith here. Enough even for you.
Ripley: I thought women weren't allowed.
Dillon: Well, we've never had any before. But we tolerate anybody. Even the intolerable.

Dillon: Why? Why are the innocent punished? Why the sacrifice? Why the pain? There aren't any promises. Nothing certain. Only that some get called, some get saved. She won't ever know the hardship and grief for those of us left behind. We commit these bodies to the void with a glad heart. For within each seed, there is a promise of a flower, and within each death, no matter how small, there is always a new life. A new beginning. Amen.

[Searching for the Alien]
David: Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!

David: This thing is really pissed off!

Dillon: [while fighting it, the alien slashes Dillon's intestines out] Come on, is that the best you've got?

Bishop II: Ripley! Think of all that we can learn from it! It's the chance of a lifetime, you must let me have it!

[last lines]
Ripley: [voice rising over static] ... Ash, Captain Dallas. Cargo and ship destroyed. I should reach the frontier in about six weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off.
