Best Boxset EVER! (2009-01-25)
The Alien series is a series of classic films from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Truly a standard setting series of science-fiction horror films.

The first film was directed by Ridly Scott as a slow-paced, horror suspense film. Even the 1979 theatrical version has plenty of amazing special effects that look good by today's standards. The suspense is fantastic, and the jumps are unforgetable. The Director's Cut has one or two extended scenes, but it's still an insignificant change.

The second film (Aliens) is another great film, but shoots more for an action/adventure type of flick. While I perfer the first one for pure suspense, the second film has amazing characters and amazing action sequences. Definatly a must see.

The third film is a bit underated in my eyes. Hated by critics for the sad opening and ending, the movie is still quite good. I thought that Sigorny Weaver performed her character better than any of the other Alien films. The special effects may lack and the other characters may not be likeable, but the movie was still satisfying. The Theatrical Cut is the one I perfer, since it is shorter. The Special Edition has about 30 minutes of added side-plots.

Alien Ressurection the least of all four films. I didn't like it in the first 15 minutes and didn't like the rest of the movie at all. Very terrible movie.


The special features for every film are excellent. Not only are they very well done, but they are made up of interviews, behind the scenes footage, and screen test; but they are quite compelling and good.

Alien Quadrilogy (2009-01-25)
What can I say that hasn't already been said about the Alien movie craze?
It makes no sense to rate the movies as we all know they are great, so I'll rate the 9 disc Quadrilogy pack. It's great! Just leave yourself about a week to watch them all. Enjoy!

Best science fiction quadrilogy of all time (2009-01-24)
The Alien Quadrilogy is absolutely the best science fiction quadrilogy of all time. The combined set covers every aspect of a superb sci fi that one would expect--science fiction based on existing and projected sci fi realities about space travel, space ship design, space travel, future technology, the intrigue and mystery of unknown planets and other life forms, some horror, excellent drama, and a well edited film, with superior directing and superior acting. The set includes not four, but nine DVD's, four of which cover two versions of the movies--original and director's cut; and the other five covering the making of the movies, including interviews with the actors--sometimes a few humorous and enlightening moments during the filming. This quadrilogy is a classic, and can serve as a science fiction course on the college level.

Great quality and insightful documentaries (2009-01-15)
Good quality DVDs - nice to have them all in one place.

Unlike many "on the makings of" documentaries, the discs that accompany each movie here are worth watching. Learn how the original Alien movie came about and why Alien 3 sucked so bad!
