Anyone here checked out Alien III?

It's based one of the (many) Alien 3 concepts that weren't total shit like the shit ass movie we ended up with.

Michael Beihn (legend) and Lance reprised their roles for it.

Father of cyberpunk, William Gibson's original script for Alien III, written in 1987 as a sequel to Aliens, never made it to our screens, although it went on to achieve cult status among fans as the third instalment that might have been after being leaked online.

This terrifying, cinematic multicast dramatisation — directed by the multi award-winning Dirk Maggs — is the chance to experience William Gibson's untold story and its terrifying, claustrophobic and dark encounters between humans and Aliens as a completely immersive audio experience.

The story begins with the Sulaco on its return journey from LV-426. On board the military ship are the cryogenically frozen skeleton crew of that film's survivors: Ripley, Hicks, Newt and Bishop.

We travel aboard and hear an alarm blare. Our heroes are no longer alone...

Interested if anyone's listened to it.

At this point, I have to ask... which version is the general preferred cut? The original theatrical version? The workprint edition, that is generally marketed as the 'special edition' or the fan 'legacy cut'?

There are things about this movie that I do like. It has great cinematography and is directed well. I like the cast. But as a movie, it just puts me to sleep. Seriously. I tried watching the assembly cut once and I just fell asleep at the half way point. It's rare that I ever fall asleep watching a movie.

The movie still feels like a mangled mess. There is a reason why David Fichner disowned it and there has never really been a proper directors cut. Don;t get me wrong, it was his directorial debut. The movie was already a mess before he got there. It was Fichner's job to try and make what was already there a functional movie. He tried his best.

I just can't get into Alien 3, no matter what version I watch.
