Alien Quadrilogy (Alien/ Aliens /Alien 3 /Alien Resurrection)

The collection is excellent. It was only the CD #1 which came with some scratchs. However the film can run normally. I decided to keep it instead of returning just for that. It's an excellent collection. Now I'm going for another one...

The first 3 movies are in english or spanish with subtitles in either language. This works fine for me since not everyone in my household speaks english. But the last movie is in english or french with subtitles only in english. I don't know if this was a mistake or that is the way they made it. I'd like to think it was a mistake.

Everything you wanted to know and see for the 4 Alien Movies a cinamatic adventure on every disk

The first two Alien films are amazingly good, & the rest are well worth watching but less excellent. This is a great collection & good value for money.

This a great box set featuring all 4 Alien movies. I didn't care too much for Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection but this set is quite amazing. Each movie has its original version and director's cut version as well tons of special features with a total of 9 discs. This boxset is HUGE. If you spread it out its like near 3 feet in length.
I actually didn't buy it off Amazon though, I got it for $20 brand new at Circuit City on sale when that God-awful Alien vs. Predator 2 Requiem movie came out on DVD.

Great movies with lots of extras! Loved it! Arrived in Canada less than a week after ordering, way to go Amazon!

Would like to receive the product before I give a review. It's been over a month since it supposedly shipped and I have yet to get it. The sight that it was ordered from by Amazon.com does not exist and I have no way to contact them. Your assistance would be appreciated. Thank you. Charleen DeWitt

What can I say - not the directors cut, but more stuff than any other Aliens pack available- and with a GREAT price from Amazon.

Every disk has two versions of each movie! I am not sure how more complete a collection you can get. Bonus features are great as well.

One of the CDs was damaged in the first shipment so it had to be sent back. The second one was damaged in the same way. Must be a factory defect. Since it was a gift, I'm assuming the receiver got a gift card instead. So for the first time, I'm not happy with the service.

This quadrilogy is still scary in my book even though I have seen it many times ...........it keeps on giving!!! The first two sequels are better from this aspect than the later two. No question that the "alien" is not only the star but a true killing machine and it is smart along with a beautiful set of teeth.

This is an excellent quad of movies, but make sure to check your Alien Resurrection disk. I had to return the boxed set twice as there was no playback on the last movie.

If you are truly an Aliens fan you will have to add this to your collection. I own all of them including those disappointing Alien vs. Predator movies.

Aliens and Alien are still the best of the four "Alien" movies - and in that order. Even if this package only consited of Alien and Aliens, it would still be worth the price even without Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection.

This one has rich review, documentary and two versions of each films. However, on the 20th anni. set, there was isolated Jerry Goldsmith score for Alien, now ommited on this one. That shadows this set.
Anyway, if you've got the chance to own it, you won't regret it.

Now have seen all alien movies and the box set is the only way to go.

For a very long time, I had put off purchasing any of the "Alien" movies on video because it always seemed like some change was taking place that would be an improvement over my purchase. Once the DVD format became popular, it seemed there were at least two different editions of any "Alien" movie available at any given time.

Then one of my brothers spotted this HUGE (9-disc) boxed set of the four movies, knew I would appreciate it, and sent me a link to Amazon's page for it. This is what I'd been waiting for, it seems! Each film is presented in widescreen format in both its original theatrical version and in an alternate version, there are audio commentary tracks, and there are "making of" videos with all kinds of behind-the-scenes footage.

Whether the alternate versions of the films are actually improved is best left to the viewer (If you really want my opinion, I think "Alien" was actually improved by the added scene with the cocoon, since until I saw the second film I'd always assumed the alien was simply eating or killing people. "Aliens" is not improved much, but it's interesting to see the scenes in which the colony is intact and populated --- before the aliens invade --- as a contrast to its "ghost town" look later. "Alien 3" actually suffers in its alternate version, which is far less gory and more slow-paced than its original release. And "Alien Resurrection" has an alternate opening and closing scene that, for all their technical glitz, are actually less interesting than what was in the original film.)

The special features are quite a treat, especially in the case of "Alien 3," which I feel is the weakest link in the chain (its high point being the clever means of disposing of the alien). Apparently, the penal colony was originally going to be a wooden artificial world populated by neo-Luddite monks. The alien or aliens would ambush them in a wheat-field, a visual reminiscent of the 'raptors in the tall grass in "Jurassic Park 2." One monk would see Ripley as being in league with the Devil. Thanks to endless script revisions and lack of funds (or lack of enthusiasm?), all that remains is the monk-like brotherhood that the prisoners have formed, and the general lack of high-tech weaponry.

To conclude, I would recommend this set for any fan of the "Alien" movies who would like to have all the versions, with their respective DVD bells & whistles, all in one box for easy access and comparison.

a little too much extra stuff...but classic movie none the less...could have done without parrt 4...

If you love the Alien Movie Franchise you will definitely love all of the fantastic content on this nine disc collection. For the price its a must have.

I had previous editions of the four movies. I liked the movies when I saw them on the theaters. Now I have the four theatrical realeses and the directors cut and extra disc with lots of nice extra material. Something that I like a lot was the sound. And the uncut version of alien 3 was much better than the theatrical realese.

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!

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....

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.

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.

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.

the alien trilogy is my favorite of all sci-fi films and i'm so thankful to amazon for making it possible for me to purchase the whole set on dvd so that i can enjoy them with my grandson who is also an avid fan. thanks again. also i want to thank amazon for their outstanding customer service.when i realized that i should have received them in the mail(and had not), i called them and even though the records showed that they had been delivered, they promptly sent out another one. thanks again Amazon!!

Alien sequels were as good as the original. Sigourney Weaver is fabulous, perfect for this role. This is very good series of this genre. This genre is not my favorite but this is my favorite of the genre. Great CGI, very good script and cast. Very good direction by Ridley Scott and James Cameron. For horror buffs this is definitely 5 stars

I bought this set when it first came out. It was on sale lately and I bought again. Someday I'll open one of them.

Everything was good with this order. I got the item, as advertised, in a timely fashion.

These movies (well, the first 3, I have yet to watch the fourth) are about how I remember them. That is to say they are very good. But by todays standards, they can be a bit slow. Definitely worth it for me just for the nostalgia, though.

The remastered versions are much better than the originals. Would recommend purchasing this set to everyone.

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.

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)Aliens 3 - Stars
4)Alien Resurrection - Stars

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.

it took a long time to get it in the mail. it took about 6 to 8 weeks for it to come in and i recive it in the mail. i should get a disscount on evey thing i buy from this place or i will stop buying items from this website ever agian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Great product if you are die hard fan of the Alien series. Shares alot of what was going on behind the scenes and includes some of the scenes that were not included in some of the releases you may see on premium tv channels. The first and second movies are my personal favorites but it's nice to have all four in a great collector's edition.

It's great to finally get all the movies in one package. I am a big fan of the Alien series, so I eat this up like candy.

A true timeless classic... 9 discs in the set, and each movie has the original theatrical presentation and the Directors cut. The additional DVD's included all the special features. I ordered this on a Saturday, and recieved it that Tuesday directly after. Superb quality, and joy to watch. I reccomend this to anyone who enjoys a good Sci-fi movie.

Great set of movies! They are a family favorite for us. I was very happy with how fast they were delivered. You'll enjoy all the special features that come with this box set. You have the option of watching the movies how they were intended to bee viewed by the director. Always super fast shipping and prices I can afford when I order through Amazon. Enjoy!!

I haved played a number of the disks. Some skips on a few. Overall the price was good but quality is still suspect.

Thanks Amazon! Excellent goldbox price, excellent product. Couldn't be happier. Beats the set that includes avp 1 that is now going for over 150 dollars.

Its about time that somebody got a "complete package" correct. This great movie series deserves it's due with a great quadrilogy and it got it. Nice packaging, great extras, just an overall nicely done job.

Absolutely amazing. The box set and quality is viewtiful. The number of extras and special features is drool-worthy. The movies in their original and uncut glory is fantastic.

Well worth the money.

Great set. Couldn't bring myself to buy it for 90$ when it came out. But well worth the current price. The addition of the director's cuts and what not are great, the extra story line pieces that had been cutout really help to further the character development. Only downside is the crappy aspect ratio on all movies but ALIENS (which is the correct 16:9, 1.78:1ish, ratio), 2.53... Who has a 2.53:1 TV??? NOT ME!!! Buy it anyway, great set. But complain about the aspect, maybe we can get movies that actually fit our high res 3K$+ TVs...

I'd seen this countless times online and at stores. I didn't get a hold of it until nearly every major store stopped selling them. The price most asked was ranged from $50-$60 USD and when I saw the price of around $26 I just jumped at the chance to get it on Amazon.com. Right off the bat I could tell this collection was the most complete Aliens could ever get with a total of 9 disks.

With the choice of watching the original, theater viewed films, the deleted scene addition was glory in itself. It's true what some reviewers will say about seeing the deleted scenes, once you see them, you wont want to go back to the original. The additional disks to each film disk have a ton of footage to watch. Concept art, documentaries, theatrical trailers, all of it.

I've always been fascinated with the Aliens universe and I can say with this Alien Quadrilogy I am very satisfied with the amount it provides to questions and mysteries that are the Xenomorphs and the Weyland 'Company'. Even to this day the special effects of each and every Alien movie never gave me room to criticize, for that I am thrilled.

Don't hesitated to buy this collection, I didn't :D.

Quality is excellent. Shipment was right on time. Will definitely order from Amazon again. Well done folks!! :)

If you like sci fi and horror type movies, this group has it all. A really nice collection, at an attractive price.

Really this was the only excuse I could use so my wife would let me buy all the movies on DVD at the same time. Great movies in both original and special edition formats. All look great and sound better. If you like these movies youll like this set.

This is the definitive collection for the Alien series. It comes with all four dvds, and each is packed with bonus feature. Every disc comes with a bonus disc with all the features you'll ever need. A MUST HAVE!

I purchased the Alien Quadrilogy for my husband for his birthday and he loved it. He is a huge fan and this is perfect for any Alien fan. It has the different versions of each Alien movie and other extras. I had never seen any of the Alien movies until buying this (I guess I've been living in a cave) and I must say that they are good. I recommend this set for anyone who is a fan because they will not be disappointed.
