The definitive Alien collection 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 and ... ...movies fear not. The redited Alien for example was lovingly crafted by original director Ridley Scott who correctly recognised that a modern cinema audience would find the original somewhat slow paced in places. He has also skillfully added back scenes removed from the original release which, on viewing, are essential to the plot and reveal new charater nuances and tensions that seemed strange and unexplained previously. This set was expensive when ... petet66 06.11.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Alien Quadrilogy (Box Set) (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?

They mostly come out at night..... Mostly. Advantages: Great story, and sooo atmospheric Disadvantages: none, not even to this day. ...original. Personally I think that Aliens is in this category. Now, I agree this is an outlandish claim. Ridley Scott's original Alien, is potentially one of the most atmospheric, and terrifying films of all time. In its time, it was perfect. The effects were great, and the performances exceptional. I believe that if I had of been writing this review ten years ago, then Alien would win hands down, but in today's market the award must go to the original's ... ...that has come out recently, Aliens is as enjoyable to watch now, as it was on its general release in 1986. The film was directed by James Cameron, who as we all know is one for creating a spetacle. His direction to the film is in stark contrast to Scott's original. Where Scott went for raw science fiction, and horror, Cameron has created a rip-roaring action adventure. I think it is plain to see that Cameron was heavily influenced by the recent success ... giksy21 12.05.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Aliens (Special Edition) (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?

Lock N Load Advantages: Superior release compared to previous editions Disadvantages: None ...one a lavish look. Aliens is the 1986 sequel, to Ridley Scott’s Alien; this time with Terminator director James Cameron at the helm. The last remaining crew member of the Nostromo flies into earth territory the first time in a great many years. Having been awoken by a rescue crew they must get to grips with the fact that they have been travelling for far too long, and that everyone they knew including their family are all dead. Knowing this remaining ... ...Although I enjoy Aliens immensely, for me it does not have the depth that the original movie had; relying more on the action, than the horror or the psychological feel of being alone in space. It’s a much larger effort, with gigantic sets, and breathtaking special effects. At times however the alien effects fail where there are so many aliens you can quite often look at some of them and say “that’s just a guy in an alien suit”. From a very claustrophobic ... sghawken 02.05.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Aliens (Definitive Edition) (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?

"I'll be back!", and again and again. Advantages: Roaring fun with excellent special effects Disadvantages: Original film is not DTS ...is his role as The Terminator that made everyone sit up and notice. As a competitive body-builder, he was an ideal choice for a character that is strong, intimidating, and un-nerved by the surroundings. Since the start of the push for Artificial Intelligence, the question of whether a computer could become self-aware has plagued the minds of those both inside and outside the science. As computer chips have found their way into almost every part ... ...AI, send one of their Terminator units into the past to stop the birth of the resistance leader John Connor. T-101, played by Arnie, is given the mission of taking out Sarah Connor, mother of John, a job that is complicated by the fact that the resistance have also sent someone through the past to protect her. There is some amazing imagery of the future, through the nightmares of Sarah's protector, and the explosions accompanying the action scenes ...

More Fallen Than Revenge Advantages: Visually very impressive Disadvantages: Too long and without a terribly good story ...when I was a kid, Transformers were one of my favourite toys. The fun of having something that was a car one minute and a robot the next took a long time to grow old. As an adult, I've found I can get similar enjoyment from watching the same thing happen on the big screen. It's a lot more sophisticated than it was back then, but I try to fool myself that I am as well. Following on from the events of the latest "Transformers" film, the Autobots are ... ...the film, in that the Transformers are a little too human at points. Maybe this is a deliberate attempt to portray them that way as they've now been living and working with humans for some time, but it did blur the line between them slightly. This was particularly noticeable with Skids and Mudflap, who played the joker roles that are usually assigned to a human sidekick in a film like this. They're funny and they do get the best lines, but it shifted ...
