The Omen Quadrilogy (Four Discs) (DVD) (RESCHEDULED)

Advantages: Good films, Bonus discs, Director's cuts
Disadvantages: None

...Four fantastic films in one collection, brilliant! Alien, it's such an original film, with a good storyline, and the ability to make you jump every time you watch it. It starts out with seven 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 have the DVD. Aliens is not quite as good as the original Alien film, but is still exciting and has some entertaining characters. It features Ripley, from the first Alien film, who has been found... Read review

Anyway....on to this " Special Edition " 2 Disc version of Pulse.. This is no newcomer to the music scene at all, as it was originally released way back in the mid 90s, as a one Disc / Video and has... Read review

...). • “Death from Below” – a featurette about the rigours of filming and acting underwater for Alien Resurrection (disc 8). ***SOUND AND VISION*** All films offered with DTS soundtracks except for ‘Alien3’ which has a Dolby Digital 5.1 presentation so sound is of the highest quality on all four films. The picture transfers are of the highest quality and play perfectly on my TV! ***CONCLUSION*** This is DVD as it should be - or at least this and the extended versions of Lord of The Rings and the Indiana Jones Trilogy - offering a lesson to anyone studio wishing to release a dynamic and packed presentation of its films. At least it would be a lesson had 20th Century Fox not released each film individually, then in the legacy box-set, then finally in the Quadrilogy box set. It really does annoy me when studios do this to their public... Read review
