Advantages: One of the great movie franchises on a superb box set. Disadvantages: Pricey.
...packed collection of the four Alien films. Each film has its own disc with two versions of the film PLUS a disc of extras relating to that film along with a ninth disc of features thrown in for good measure.
The outer casing of the set is made up of sturdy cardboard with a design of the all familiar alien egg under the title of the set. The egg is ominously opening from a crack at it’s base with a luminous lime green colour ‘oozing’ out before ...

Advantages: Possibly the greatest movie boxset that has ever been released... Disadvantages: Absolutely None...
...Another 6 years passed before Alien 3, directed by David Fincher was released, this time, however, not achieving the same success at all, at the time, that the first two had but as the years have passed, fans and critics have slowly began to appreciate the movie a lot more and it has finally gained it's status as a masterpiece of cinema and a worthy sequel to the first two. 5 more years passed and to the surprise of everyone Alien: Resurrection was ...

Advantages: Original and director's cut edition, flawless transfer, every extra you could want Disadvantages: None
Of all movie monsters, the Alien has to be my favourite and this box set is an esential for anyone who has seen and loved any or all of the four pure Alien movies (dsicounting the Alien/ Predator crossover genre).
Having been old enough to have seen the original Alien at the cinema I was pleased that the box set includes the original as well as the new updated and reditied versions of all four of the movies. There are also extras beyond belief ...

Advantages: Good films, Bonus discs, Director's cuts Disadvantages: None
...characters who encounter a mysterious alien on their space ship. The events that follow are both interesting and unexpected. It certainly deserves the Oscar it won for special effects which, especially for the time it was made, are impressive. I think the first film is best because the creature was mostly hidden until the end, which made it more fearful. To me, this is one of those films that you just have to watch when it's on TV even though you ...

No lump of coal! Review ofAlien Quadrilogy (Box Set) (DVD)by
DrZoidberg
Advantages: Lovely package, great films, ridiculous quantity of special features Disadvantages: special features are of the interview / documentary style
...four are extremely watchable with Alien and Aliens being extremely different but equally sublime pieces of horror / scifi war.
The only downside i have found is that the extras are all the same documentary style, which is bearable if you are a fan, but everyone else will probably not bother with tham all, which is a shame as there is fascinating information to be gleaned.
If you have enjoyed a single alien film or any sci fi film buy this now, ...

Advantages: Plent of extra hours! Disadvantages: Too many discs!!
...the colonists are missing....
Alien 3:- In my opinion not as good as the 2nd but also an immense film! Sigourney Weaver still starring as 'Ripley' still giving a great performance. This is set in an all male penitentiary!
Alien Resurrection:- Equally great film, slightly inevitable but still a great film none the less! Set in the future where man is trying to contain the Aliens...
Great films I recommend to anyone!! ...

Advantages: Cinema legends! Best sci fi movies ever made. Disadvantages: Fouth movie has wynona rider in it!
All the extras you could ever need in a dvd set. Oh ...you get the movies aswel.
The first three movies are simply stunning. The first two in particular are the stuff of cinema legend and need to be watched even if its just once.
The term "on the edge of your seat" must have been invented for these movies. You literally are woundering whats around the next corner and the atisipation of something making you jump is what makes these movies increadible. ...
