This consists of two discs for each film, the current and an alternate version (more on that below) on the first disk, and collections of approximately 2 hours of featurettes and other bonuses on the second disc. The ninth disc is a hodgepodge of trailers and other items from previous DVD and laser disk versions. Although the extras have been released in a variety of forms over several years (the John Harm documentary ‘The Alien Saga’, being the latest), THIS is the definitive version.
‘Alien’ (average user rating: 4.6) . If you haven’t seen this classic film, then you must be living under a rock. The collection includes the current theatrical version (which I hold) and the “Director’s Slit”, essential for its inclusion of the controversial captain-cacooned by alien scene (controversial because from the Alien mythology developed in later films, we know that only the massive queen can lay eggs) . I seize the modern (which is actually 1 itsy-bitsy longer), and interestingly enough, it appears that Ridley Scott prefers the recent as well. The making of featurettes are extensive and roar Giger’s extensive participation and how what was originally expected to receive a b-moive budget became one of the very few examples where Fox studios followed the vision with a classic.
‘Aliens’ (average user rating: 4.7) . This is the only sequel I know of that is rated higher than the unusual. This time, the “Special Edition” version (also on the previous ‘Alien Legacy’ box state) is a salubrious experience and exactly is how upstart director James Cameron (who had written the script prior to the release of ‘The Terminator’) wanted to release the film, but was constrained entirely by time limits. The result is additional scenes featuring the colonists and Ripley’s family lost to the time she spent in hypersleep. As with the first installment, the featurettes are challenging and thorough, although the Viet Nam War metaphor is not as thoroughly explored with Cameron as has been in other releases.

‘Alien 3′ (average user rating: 3.2) . As a fan of the franchise, this was perhaps the most anticipated share of this current box place. The “working print” of the film (the longest of all the versions here, and complete with subtitles for missed sound editing), adds a depth to the film that was not in the recent. That is, the arrival of Ripley and the characters are covered distinguished more thoroughly, the alien creature is begotten by an oxen with a noteworthy more current witness, there is an additional place twist arising from the nature of the inhabitants (criminally delusional), and there is no riduculously-timed chest-burster scene at the raze. Calm, the film is a flawed masterpiece. The film is better appreciated in light of the awful place first-time director David Fincher had been placed in – not the least of which is an incomplete script during production and a state that had already been constructed for the ill-conceived “wooden planet/monestary” vision of the previously assigned director. In this sense, the three production featurettes advance across as almost an apology/tribute to Fincher. (NOTE: Fincher is the only director who is not interviewed on the box residence.)
‘Alien Resurrection’ (average user rating: 3.0) . What happens when you effect the French director of ‘Amelie’ (Jean-Pierre Jeaunet) in charge of an alien movie? Well, foreign/art movies were all the craze in the last 1990s, so . . . Fox studios concept, “Why not? ” In the kill, many fans of the franchise did not bask in the obviously satirical slant on this final installment. The opening scene and ending scenes (the only additions of substance) on the extended version gain the film even more tongue-in-cheek. Despite the French director and crew’s certain regard for the recent ‘Alien’ (as documented in the featurettes), armed with the return of Sigourney Weaver and the addition of superstar Winona Ryder, the director ultimately made a quirky, campy action film. But in the slay, it was the last quarter of the script that makes this the weakest of all the installments by far. Postscript to Fox studios: if you had given Fincher this worthy creative freedom, you would have have a third masterpiece.
There’s a LOT of stuff in this box space. Almost too mighty, really. You could exhaust a couple of weeks watching and reading all the extras, commentaries, script drafts, etc. But by then you would have deconstructed the films so powerful that you have robbed them of whatever “innocent viewing pleasure” you enjoyed before you delved into the minutiae of the extra features.
So it is a double-edged sword: Learn more than you ever belief you would about the 4 “Alien” films, but suffer having to look them from then on and forever more through the filter of “intellectual too worthy behind-the-scenes info” & “curtain-pulled-back-on-the-Wizard” insider perspective.

That said, it is a sincere treat to have this collection, even though the fourth film was abominably disappointing. The packaging, which opens to a nearly five foot long foldout, is kind of shapely but soon grows cumbersome and irritating. When you unfold it the first time, it is like “Hey, notice what THIS thing does!”. But after a while, when you objective want to retrieve a single disc for some occasion, it has evolved to “Okay, okay, I net it – it’s long. Objective gimme the plain disc already!”
For “Alien” fanatics, this is a must-have. I don’t bear the “Alien Legacy” site, so I can’t compare them.
I especially like the DTS sound on two of the films. DTS always brings a current dimension to the listening experience that the still-great Dolby 5.1 doesn’t.
Don’t complain about the note, either. You gain your money’s worth in spades, and you attach on tax and net free shipping if you order it online (from the upright vendor) . Besides, even if the mark is a bit too steep for you, that amount of your money would have been lost to the sands of time soon enough anyway. Might as well exhaust the money and have something cold to display for it.
