Alien³
After escaping with Newt and Hicks from the alien planet, Ripley crash lands on Fiorina 161, a prison planet and host to a correctional facility. Unfortunately, although Newt and Hicks do not survive the crash, a more unwelcome visitor does. The prison does not allow weapons of any kind, and with aid being a long time away, the prisoners must simply survive in any way they can.

The film jumps from its lowest point with the controversial killing of beloved characters to one of its highest with the chilling body scan revelation.
Alien³ starts weakly by disappointing fans with the deaths of Hicks and Newt, builds atmospheric dread through its middle section with standout moments like the body scan sequence, but suffers from confused action sequences before ending on a divisive but visually striking note. Critics consistently praised Fincher's visual style and atmosphere while criticizing the script and pacing issues.
