In this episode of R Rating, we’re diving into Alien Resurrection — the fourth film in the legendary Alien franchise, and easily the weirdest, wildest, and most divisive entry of them all.

We break down everything from Ripley’s controversial clone storyline, to the bio-engineered Xenomorphs, to the film’s tonal shift under director Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Whether you love this movie, hate it, or just enjoy watching the franchise get progressively weirder, this episode is packed with behind-the-scenes details, story analysis, and all the chaotic sci-fi energy Alien Resurrection is known for.

In this episode of R Rating, we’re descending into the dark, grim world of Alien³ (1992), the most divisive and misunderstood entry in the Alien franchise. Directed by a young David Fincher in his feature debut, Alien 3 took bold risks that split fans and critics alike — and we’re here to unpack every one of them.

We’ll explore how Alien³ followed up the action-packed Aliens with a return to bleak horror and isolation, what went wrong behind the scenes, and how Fincher’s vision was reshaped by studio interference. From Sigourney Weaver’s raw performance as Ripley to the haunting prison planet setting and nihilistic tone, we dig deep into why this film deserves a second look.

Is Alien³ an underrated masterpiece, or a frustrating misfire? Let’s find out.

Join R Rating for a deep dive into one of the most fascinatingly flawed films in sci-fi horror history — and why it’s more important to the franchise than most fans realize.
