# I think Aliens mixed both
hence why it's a better film experience IMO

# exactly.
i think Alien was a bit heavy on the atmosphere but lacking in action. Alien 3 had atmosphere, but it wasn't so heavy-handed. some of the characters were more in-depth, too.

# Alien 3 seemed to veer off on a weird tangent
I didn't really understand the overall point why it was made. It seemed like a film devoted to claustrophobia and despair from start to finnish without any real impact anywhere

# i think that was the point.
Aliens had all the weaponry and troops, Alien 3 was showing how the same job could be done with a handful of unskilled and undisciplined men with no real weapons at all.
