Ther'es just something about it that makes me smile. Sure, it was a terrible idea to kill off Newt and Hicks in the first 5 minutes, and some of the effects were bad, but I peronally loved this film.

Also to have killed off Hicks so abruptly also was a crushing blow since I’ve always liked Michael Beihn. Maybe it would’ve been a bit better if he’d even had a fighting chance in this movie but to kill him off even before the credits finished was needless.

The grim prison planet setting was interesting, but just as you said, the inmates were mostly grisly killers who didn’t warrant any compassion. It was way too “Britishy” feeling with it’s “stiff upper lip” feel.
