Some of the changes just don't make sense (like having the alien come from the ox when it's appearance and movement still fits theatrical cut's dog better) and it's clearly longer than it needs to be (still, I'd wish Fincher's original 3 hour rough cut would be available).

The dog in the theatrical version is never seen in this version, instead, an ox (used as a tractor by the prisoners) is the Facehugger's choice of gestation.

It leaves the viewer with a bad taste in their mouths and since it's right at the beginning, you set them in a bad mood for the remainder of the film.

Since she is cloned in Alien: Resurrection, I feel that's not really her, so, yes, Alien 3 ends with the death of Ripley and if not for Ripley in this film, Alien 3 would be completely unwatchable.

As the alien matures and begins to kill off the inhabitants, Ripley is unaware that her true enemy is more than just the killer alien.
