I did not know this at first, but there was a lot of problems during production of this film. Just like Mark Webb's Amazing Spiderman 2 it is the child of a movie company getting involved in the movie too much and not allowing the director to have control. Fincher did not do Alien 3 his first directorial debut to me will always be Se7en. Don't let this meh movie fool you, Fincher is one of the best directors out there.

This movie is filled to the brim with Fincher's style.. you need to watch Se7en and The Game.

And that is the reason why this is a great film, Fincher couldn't make it his own.

He disowned the film himself so if even he thinks it's not his film I think the OP is kinda right 😉

Seeing as most of Fincher's subsequent movies are based in reality (ok, Benjamin Button notwithstanding) dissing this as not being a 'Fincher film' is kinda unfair to the film.
If he hadn't made this film but someone else did and did it exactly the same, it would be the best 'Alien' film David Fincher never made.

It's really a shame. You can tell from the movie that he's trying to explore really interesting ideas but he couldn't go all in because of the studio. I would've loved to see how the movie wouldve turned out if Fincher had full creative control over this. Might've been as good or even better than the first alien!

It has Fincher's aesthetics and tone. But we'll never know his true vision.

It has elements of a Fincher film. But it's a studio plant.
Yeah, definitely a studio plant. But it has Finchers trademark way of filming. When I saw S7ven I could tell straight away Fincher was the director.
The greatest trick the Devil played was convincing people he didn't exist..

I do know. I still see this as a Fincher film though.
You're old enough to kill, but not for voting.

Don't agree at all. This movie has Finchers style all over it.
