Rating: Summary: Best horror movie, Best sci-fi movie....best movie? Review: Alien may well be the finest movie ever made. The fact that it inspired three sequels, over 40 hours of extras and a box set that is five feet long serves testament. Can't wait to see Fincher's real cut of Alien3! If you haven't ever seen ALIEN, go see it in theatres RIGHT NOW while you still can! It's beautiful! Maybe that's part of what makes it so scary....
Rating: Summary: A horror masterpiece Review: I first saw alien several years ago on t.v. Ever since then, I have been a huge fan. I isnstantly rented Aliens and Alien 3 and loved them the same. It was when Alien: Ressurection came out that I first saw one of these movies in the high quality format of a theatre. I must say, I was astounded. It is for this reason that I was delighted when I heard the quadrilogy was being released on DVD. And what's more, with alternate endings. I cannot wait. However, if you are worried about the R-ratings scarring your younger ones, besides occasional language, the entire collection is PG-13 in my opinion. Whether you are a big fan of the Alien series, or just enjoy a good action/horror film, the Aliens Quadrilogy is right for you.

Rating: Summary: On earth, everyone can hear me scream! Review: This is the ultimate collectors box set! I was fortunate enough to own the collectors editions of the ALIEN and ALIENS Laserdisc box sets. This DVD box edition is going to blow all previous Laser & DVD away!To be honest, I am most exited about ALIEN3. I have been waiting so long to see the original uncut version. Yes the theatrical version of A3 does have minor plot holes and some unanswered questions. (I blame the corporation for this, not the director!), but I think the movie itself is amazing! I have heard many rumours that the scenes diced will fix the minor imperfections of the theatrical version. Make no mistake, regardless of what was cut from A3, it is a magnificent science fiction classic!
Rating: Summary: This is it folks the ultimate Alien box set. Review: This is it the ultimate Alien experience in fact when this comes out it will be the most advanced DVD set ever to come out. There is so much in this DVD set that by the time you finish or even if you do , you will pretty much feel like Sigourney Weaver like you have grown with this franchise , awsome new director's versions on all 4 films and that's just for starters in fact you will get a far better version of Alien that is even in the movie theatres now , Aliens is still the same directors cut but Alien3 and Alien Ressurection will be in new versions a 152 minute film version of Alien 3 , let us hope it will make Alien 3 a heck of alot better , each dvd is two disks and powerd full of extras and I, do mean extras trailers, conceptual art drawings , stills , documentarys, original documentarys, television documentarys and the list goes on and on and on , and for those extreme hard core fans of Alien Franchise, there is a extras disk with even more bonus matireal, a total of 9 disks in all the largest box set ever produced , and exccelent sound via DTS to give you what the Alien series was ment to be heard and felt in now the aliens will sound scarier and better then ever, so for those of you who are just waiting for Alien Vs. Predator come out this ought to hold you for six months until june until we get to see the ultimate battle between two of the most memorable aliens ever to grace the screen until then you have this awsome set to indulge your eyes and test your mind on what you think is true about this franchise and what is fact.
Rating: Summary: Be Patient Review: A lot of people have been complaining that this new box set contains two movies (the last two) that aren't particularly good. Although this is true, be patient. In January, Fox will offer the movies individually. There's no way I am going to have Alien3 in my house, so I'm going to wait until then. Too bad they didn't release these versions in the first place, but we all know that studios will release as many versions of a given movie as is possible.
Rating: Summary: great collection Review: I just want to say that im very excited about this set. I love all the movies in the alien series. And if the rumors about getting ready to make alien 5 and 6 are true, then im really excited. This set is loaded with such cool features that 70 dollars is hardly anything to spend.
Rating: Summary: Our lack of patience with Fox has paid off!! Review: Ok, ok, so there's no such word as 'quadrilogy' yet. Get over yourself, grammar boy. Who says it can't become a word? It makes logical sense, and besides, the word 'trekkies' is in the dictionary now! So SHUT UP AND BE HAPPY, JACKASS! *ahem* excuse me.... well the petitions, ramblings, letters, death threats, etc. toward Fox havefinally paid off, and we are finally seeing the ENTIRE series being presented with the respect it deserves. The first two were great, and the third one was ARTISTIC. Many of you who have either been in the marines or have been raised under a rock usually don't know what the 'art' concept is. Fincher made a great film, whether you Anti-3's want to believe it or not. This new version will finally present Alien 3 as it was meant to be shown, and hopefully it will gain more respect. I myself have seen a bootleg of the precut, and i must say, it puts to rest everything that was disliked about it. The inconsistancies, the plotholes, and the general lack of information presented in the theatrical version of Alien 3 are covered up. Some of this stuff i can't believe they cut in the first place. The special features given in this version should be astounding. I'm, of course, not going to review any of them yet because its not out. I pretty much only wanted to review the new Alien 3 and bash all those bitchy grammar school children out there. Laser disc stuff on Disc 9.... I've always wanted to see that footage....
Rating: Summary: Is it occuring to anyone...? Review: Firstly, and I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but again, "quadrilogy" is not an acceptable word, because (check your dictionaries folks), it ain't a word. They could give the American populus a little more credit and call it Alien Tetralogy, as opposed to going with the George Bush word, ala, "Misunderestimated." We know what you mean pal, but it's not a word. Secondly, is it occuring to anyone else that Alien3 and Ressurection weren't good? At all? Or at least, compared to the first two? Okay, okay, so they're sprucing up all the movies. Release them individually, you think? Or don't make me pay 70 bucks (and that's discounted) for two movies I'm not going to watch? I mean, that's not occuring to anyone else? I KNOW I'm not the only one who feels the same way about this.
Rating: Summary: The Final (and we promise this time) END ALL BE ALL ALIENDVD Review: The tiring thing for those of us who are sick of shelling out money for "Directors Cut Special Edition DVD's" is when they pull this crap. While Alien Quad. is no doubt glorious and contains every scrap of info ever filmed concerning my favorite sci fi series, i can't help but feeling cheated. I bought a $100 4-DVD set last year that was packaged like your average collectors item DVD set: nice pseudo-embossed silver-on-black box, and the "Directors Cut" of Aliens (read: Laser Disc edition)which is my favorite of the 4 movies. Now I am reading in an "official" PR release for Quad that this is th "first time on DVD that Aliens special edition has been released." Bull! Its been out for a couple of years. This repackaging and reselling crap has got to stop! Studios need to release ONE end-all be-all directors cut/special edition/collectors edition and STICK WITH IT!!!!
