I thought this movie was pretty bad. Not much happens in this movie. The movie was pretty much just violence,gore,blood and swearing. I would say it would be for around 12 years old.

What Parents Need to Know
About Alien3
Parents need to know that this monster movie is not for kids. There is a heavy atmosphere of doom and hostility, even without the ravenous, clawed monster on the prowl. Ellen Ripley is surrounded by unfriendly men, who are, in fact, dangerous convicts, described as murderers, rapists, and child molesters, just barely keeping their violence under control with work and monkish religion. Authority figures, when they finally show up, are untrustworthy and evil. The only solution shown in dealing with this situation and this society is suicide.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the setting: a prison-planet of life-sentence criminals who use prayer to stay docile and disciplined, so much so that no weapons are needed. But they are all men, living more like monks than convicts, and not to be trusted around women. Is this a real solution? The finale poses a real what-would-you-do question, when there probably isn't any comfortable answer. You could ask kids why people would find a grim tale like this entertaining? What are their favorite sci-fi movies and why?

- I rate this title iffy for age 13 and give it
Good but violent.
Not the best in the series, but better than Alien Vs. Predator. It's gory, has lots of language (mostly the F-Word), and might be scary for under fifteen. But Common Sense must not like horror movies, because they gave it OFF with one star. THEY ARE WRONG!!! Five Stars, because of the Special Effets (and that only, all else is crap) and PAUSE, because it depends on what your kids can handle.
