3 times the suspense. 3 times the danger. 3 times the terror
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.

**The end of an epic trilogy** _Mild spoilers:_ Everything has been said about this movie already, but let's find out why the rating of it (on a different, shabbier website) is so low. Here are some points of a popular reviewer, who has almost 100 percent support of their readers. 1.
