What our customer's say!
"The best Alien Quadrilogy dvd!", The R1 dvd of ALIEN QUADRILOGY is the best dvd around. it has commentaries on both theatrical and special versions, seamless branching is included for telling you where the deleted scenes are on the theatrical version, and lots more. Overall, an excellent buy!
"Youv'e never seen Alien like this!", If you love the "Alien" movies you will want to purchase this complete set. The alternative movie features provides a greater selection and enhanced viewing, creating another dimension to the series.
The picture quality is excellent. A must for ALIEN fans....
"Simply The Best!!!", The Alien saga is the best there is, even better that Star Wars, Matrix, Harry Potter, Lord of The Rings, you name them. There is one thing that bugs me, in Alien 1 at the very begining, there is a huge petrified Alien sitting while holding a big gun! who is he? There's gotta be an explanation of how everything started. If they were to create another film, they should go way back and come out with a story of how everything started. For what I understand their native planet was destroyed and migrated to other planets wiping off everything on their path. I hope to see this coming anytime soon.
"GET IT WHILE YOU CAN", While I got an obvious better deal on this now than I would if I bought it after the sale price, there is no denying that this set is worth some cash, especially if your an alien fan. It's a freakin' huge box set, and once you open it, it ________ stretches out like a mother________. It's basically all the two disc special editions crammed into one box, with a bonus disc. It's pretty big, but nicely done
The first movie, the one that I have pretty much only seen, is still a great movie, and still looks great. While it's not that shocking as it used to be (there is a great documentary), everything still looks great today, and it still is quite ahead of it's time, regarding the setting and everthing (maybe making a sci-fi movie is a great ticket to your movie aging better, eh?). The Alien still is a classic movie character, and it endures (on a side note, The Predator rules too. I got to see Alien Vs. Predator) today's jump in movie technology.
Even if you don't like some of the movies, the documentaries for each movie are awesome, and looking at all the sketches for every movie will give you something to do. I don't know when they will stop releasing this box set, but hopefully never. Despite it's size, it's packaged awesome, and will fit fine wherever you have it, for convience sake.
I'm fairly new to the series, so if your reading this and you a lucky enough to be reading this with the sale price, snag it. If anything, you get a lot more, and I think the two Alien movies are must haves, anyway. So order yours, like right now. You won't be sorry.
"Alien³", While lots can (and has) already been said about this set, I just want to reiterate one thing: the best part of this DVD is the restoration of Alien³.
Unfairly maligned on release mainly because it follows James Cameron's action-packed blockbuster Aliens, Alien³ is an intentional departure in tone from the previous chapter. Even if you don't like the film, I'd call such a dramatic shift in tone commendable by franchise standards -- it took balls to make Alien³, and on that basis alone, it's so much more interesting than a lot of cookie-cutter sequels.
The highlight here, which might have been trimmed out of the theatrical version (I hadn't seen any of them before I bought this set, and I haven't bothered to watch the shorter cut since then) is the raw performance by Sigourney Weaver. The change of pace electrifies her character, both in a great softer moment with the doctor played by Charles Dance, and during the action sequences (featuring the movie's biggest blemish, an awful-looking optical Alien effect), which swoop around the corridors of the prison planet in ways that will be familiar to fans of director David Fincher and his visual style.
Of all the things uncovered by the Alien Quadrilogy, the workprint version of Alien³ is the strongest, a breath of fresh air into a movie that already is one. It's dark, sure, but it is what it is, and taken as part of one of the most successful movie franchises of all time, what it is is worth a look, worth a re-evaluation, worth studying and eventually taking into account as an important chapter in a great series.

"Alien Quadrilogy ", The remastered versions are much better than the originals. Would recommend purchasing this set to everyone.
"MORE ALIENS THAN YOU CAN SHAKE A STICK AT! HOLY COW!", I picked this box set up for under $35.00! It is loaded to the max with Alien films, extras, stills, expanded and director's cuts..etc! At the price I paid, it doesn't matter if every film is a classic. The first two films are worth the price of admission for this set. I will be reviewing each film on it's separate release and will add my ratings on this review as I go along.
I prefer the theatrical releases over the expanded editions, but they are interesting to have included on this massive set. 9 discs are included and a nice neat package to house them all in. A great set for one of the most memorable creature designs since 'The Creature From The Black Lagoon'!....and that's saying something!
1)Alien - 4 1/2 Stars
I saw this film in the theater the week it opened! Deliberately paced this film delivers the goods. Although the H.R. Giger creature is rarely scene in this film, there is an undeniable intensity because there is no remorse in this creature that just wants to use it's victims as a host to breed more of it's kind to destroy anything other than itself!
Watching this film now after all these years, it does seem a bit long and maybe too slowly paced for my taste.....maybe I'm getting impatient in my old age!?? It's still a first rate Horror/Sci-fi thriller! The creature design is fantastic even though it would be improved a bit in the next film. It's a monster movie and this is one H E L L of a monster! The DVD transfer on the box set looks fantastic and there are a load of extras to keep you happy.
2)Aliens - 4 1/2 Stars
This film has a completely different feel than the original film! This is a good thing, rather than make the same movie Ridley Scott did, James Cameron, goes all out in this explosive action Sci-Fi thriller! Great FX, deliberate pacing and slam bang action make this one heck of a thrill ride!
The creature design has been tweaked in this sequel and we get to see more of it and we get to see more of them! The Queen is a site to behold and the finale is probably the best "Cat Fight" in film history! I rate the film 4 1/2 stars only because the length could have been trimmed a little. The DVD transfer on the box set is fantastic and you get two versions of the movie and plenty of extra material. The box set is the way to go!
3)Alien 3 - 3 1/2 - Stars They just couldn't let there be a somewhat happy ending to Aliens! This film starts out where 'Aliens' left off. Going back to a similar style of the first film where the action is sparse, but tension is high. The premise is interesting and the FX are good, but it does take some time to get going!.....when it does it's very good and the film has a very memorable ending!
4)Alien Resurrection - 3 1/2 Stars Action packed forth installment is actually very good! We get to see more aliens than ever in this fun and fast paced finale. While the first and third alien movies were deliberately slow, building tension along the way. This film looks more like part 2 with lots of action and fast paced fun! I didn't remember liking this film as much the first time I saw it, but it seems to have grown on me.
"Alien Quadrilogy", This is a fantastic package. All the movies and extras on 9 discs in a nice little box. The price was perfect and I got free shipping to boot. I suggested this to two of my friends and they bought it as well.
"Alien Overload", This dvd box set was more than I ever dreamed it could be. It has each of the four films in both the theatrical release and the Directors cut, eight full films in all. In addition there is a disc of background info for each of the four, and a final disc that relates to the entire Alien Quadrilogy. I found it difficult maneuver through menu on the special effects disc's, as apparently the Alien orginazational philosophy was byond me.
If you are an Alien Fan this is a MUST HAVE set.
I am giving my four VHS versions of the Alien series to my Son. I loved them, but they can't hold a candle to this set.
"Amazing", This dvd collection is an amazing buy for any Alien enthusiest. If you enjoyed any movie in the collection I am sure you will find the rest of the series just as entertaining. The bonus footage is amazing along with the hows and the whens you get extra movie length. You will sure notice a change in the quality of the movie with the extra footage. I did not think the movies could get any better but I was wrong.
