Review

 

Alien: The terror begins when the crew of the spaceship Nostromo investigates a transmission from a desolate planet and makes a horrifying discovery, a life form that breeds within a human host. Now the crew must fight not only for its own survival, but for the survival of all mankind.

Aliens: Sigourney Weaver returns as Ripley, the only survivor from mankind's first encounter with the monstrous Alien. Her account of the Alien and the fate of her crew are received with skepticism, until the mysterious disappearance of colonists on LV-426 lead her to join a team of high-tech colonial marines sent in to investigate...

Alien 3: Lt. Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) is the lone survivor when her crippled spaceship crash lands on Fiorina 161, a bleak wasteland inhabited by former inmates of the planet's maximum security prison. Ripley's fears that an Alien was aboard her craft are confirmed when the mutilated bodies of ex-cons begin to mount. Without weapons or modern technology of any kind, Ripley must lead the men into battle against the terrifying creature. And soon she discovers a horrifying fact about her link with the Alien, a realisation that may compel Ripley to try destroying not only the horrific creature, but herself as well.

Alien Resurrection: Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) died fighting the perfect predator. Two hundred years and eight horrific experiments later, she's back. A group of scientists have cloned her, along with the alien queen inside her, hoping to breed the ultimate weapon. But the resurrected Ripley is full of surprises for her "creators", as are the aliens. And soon, a lot more than "all hell" breaks loose! To combat the creatures, Ripley must team up with a band of smugglers, including a mechanic named Call (Winona Ryder), who holds more than a few surprises of her own.

Top 100 DVD Reviewer

This box delivers great quality for an enormously cheap price, including the special editions of the movies and a tremendous load of extra's that will keep you hooked for several hours.
Although not every movie is as good as the other, put together in this box you can't argue about details: It's a great deal about a trendsetter in the sf-genre.

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars Fantastic value for money, but a bad flaw

This collection is superb value for money, but it does have a significant flaw: the lip synch is significantly out in parts of "Aliens -Theatrical Release", but not all of it. As these disks are mass produced in their millions, there's no point in returning them for another set - they will all be identical.

A pretty poor show, really, but it isn't a show stopper.

I haven't checked the other films yet, but I note that another reviewer reports a similar problem with the Special Edition of Aliens.

Alien is a classic, Aliens arguably better and Alien 3 (directors cut) is ace. Ressurection doesn't count. A great trilogy, for sure.

Sadly, all of my feature discs are corrupted. It's like watching a pirate VHS. Not impressed at all, and I left it too long to return them to play. Just glad I didn't pay full price.
