I had this for Christmas - absolutely amazing! It totals 9 DVDs. It has the original theatrical releases and the Special Editions. Also loads of bonus, behind the scenes footage. All in all over 40 hours of viewing! Any other Alien fans out there, how have this? |

Well it has been so long since I saw the original, but there were certainly bits I don't remember seeing. Besides, I haven't watched the whole thing yet.......its gonna take time! :D |
||||||||
|

I've been humming and hawing over it since some time in November... maybe I'll get it. |
||||||||

BOO! Yes...very good, very good. |

30 minutes have been restored. it's Fincher's original cut. BIG add-on is that they catch the alien about halfway through the film. one of the prisoners, the one who sees the alien and calls it a "dragon" sees it as a kind of godlike creature and goes and frees it. it gives it a whole new depth. the CGI for the new scenes isn't that great though - you can clearly see the difference. but the whole film goes up a notch, I think. |

it really is excellent, Paul. and I'm a big alien-fan, so I'm not that easy to please. :) it costs quite a bit but it is stuffed to the brim with extra's. |

I got my Christmas Bonus from work on the day it was released in the UK - the 8th Dec, so I went RIGHT to ASDA as soon as I got out of work, and bought it. Trouble is I think that the Aliens disc is fucked - very slight audio/video out of sync prob, enough to piss me off royally...gotta take it back to get a new one tomorrow...other than that, THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BUYS OF THE YEAR! I highly recommend it |
||||||||

i will get it at a later date, 60 quid is a lot of cash. will wait for it to have a bit of discount in virgin, then buy. |

Alien is one of my fav films everr. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the fold out for the entire set is taller than a few of the girls i work with. i think thats funny. |
||||||||
|

just watched Alien for the first ever time... it was really good... real nerve racking and edge of your seat type stuff... obviously the special effects were kind of lame for nowadays, but still... it was good! I remember going on the movie ride at MGM Studios in Disneyworld in Orlando when I was a kid, and being totally freaked out by the Alien part of the ride! :) |

Aliens is the best of them all. "They mostly come at night.... mostly" The colonial marines are so fucking badass.. I've got a book called "the Colonial marines Technical Field Manual" That explains everything about how they operate, it's so fuggin cool. Semper Fi! |

|
|
is quadrilogy a real word? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

i saw part of Resurrection on TV once. other than that i've never seen any alien movies. :o |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's like me with Star Wars. I have saw parts of Phantom Menace but none of the others. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didn't see episode 2 because episode 1 made me cut myself and i bled to death before the second came out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
duuuuuuuuuude get the first 3. i would buy this but i don't want 4 polluting my dvd collection, beotches. |
||||||||

Can I watch the director's cut of Aliens? I've still not seen that despite the original version being in my top three films of all time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The directors cut of Aliens is too fucking long. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Depends on how good you are, and whether I win the next 'winner takes all match' of SC2 ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
When people say Directors Cut do they mean Special Edition? The only official Directors Cut is with Alien. Alien 3 is the original directors print that the studio fucked with afterwards. Alien 4 is an extended version that the director had no hand in. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You tell 'em mate! ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aye, SE I meant. It was good to see but I'd rather watch the original version on repeated viewings, it drags less. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There's a few moments that would've been best left out of the specialedition as well. I don't really care about learning Ripley's first name or that her child is dead. Any person could clearly see that 57 years in hyper sleep would more or less mean everyone you knew was dead or nearing that way. I've only watched the theatrical edition twice though and always watch the special one. I don't know why. |
||||||||

I want it so bad. so give me. |
||||||||
|
|

|

I forgot the BAM! though :P |
||||||||

I don not like james cameron. well he has his moments, abyss for example. I like aliens but I don not like soldiers stuff. crap! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't agree. I like the little part where Ripley and Hicks tell eachother their first names - it is not for your information, it is for their information - it does however tell us about the amount of trust that has developed between them. I do agree on the dead child seen a bit though. it does however explain her maternal instincts towards Newt later on, but maybe a bit too much. where did you get the idea that Jeunet had no hand in the Alien 4 in the set..? he says in the introduction that the original print is the director's cut, that it's completely like he wanted it to be. but he made this version with a different beginning and ending for the Alien fans, more or less, just to show what could have been. (and what a crap beginning it would have been jeeeeeesus..) |

Does sound good. |

didn't see the dvd Alien Quadrilogy yet but HRGIGER is the best artist i know eat acid see his artwork and you will know i'm right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If i did that I'd only know one thing... THAT I'M TRIPPIN OUT MAAAANNNNN his art is intense! ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I see your point about the name telling bit. I haven't watched it yet. I skim read the leaflet on the day I got the set and I remembered it as saying that he was happy with the film and didn't want to change it. I'll re-read it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Okay, i just went back to ASDA and changed my quadrilogy box set because of the problem i was having - the audio was out of sync with the video for the Aliens disc (3rd disc). The new copy is exactly the same :( It's nothing to do with my DVD drive, it's a fucking iBook for christ's sake, and I've never had ANY problem with any other disc, so I'm writing off to Fox to complain :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh he was happy, but the 2nd version isn't meant as a replacement, just a different version. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah right. I haven't re-read it yet. I may watch that tonight. Not working tomorrow :D Well I am, but from home. BAM! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
