This is an amazing series. The bluray is an amazing visual and all the bonus features makes this collection an excellent value and a wonderous addition to any collection...as long as your collection isn't full of Carebears and My Little Pony. Amazing cinematography and storylines, few franchises hold up to such extension in legnth. Essentially 8 movies and scads of extras.

If ur like me and ur real cautious about ur blu ray disk dont buy this set cause there not in cases they slide out and they leave scratch marks on ur blu rays i hate these kind of sets use regular boxes like most sets do and not be cheap with this sliding out garbage.

Wow. Gorgeous digital transfers of both ALIEN & ALIENS. ALIENS has never looked better in my opinion. Bonus feature aplenty make the set a must for Xenomorph fans. The commentaries are not new for this edition, and some bonus content is recycled from other releases, but this is by far the most complete all-in-one set FOX has released of the series. I hadn't seen the Work-Print of ALIEN3 that is in this release, and it was also eye-opening. The MUTHER mode is a bit... odd. The info text option can be hard to read with a very small font. I did not pop for the limited edition "Egg" version, and picked up the standard book format edition instead. Discs fit in snugly and are easily removed without falling out.
I bought the Alien Anthology on blu ray simply because I never saw any of the films before. I wasn't disappointed at all. I enjoyed all the films, some more than others. The first started off slower than I expected but got better as it went on. The second one was great, stayed true to the original. Alien 3 wasn't all that the first time I watched it, but I watched the Directors cut the next night and enjoyed it much more than the theatrical version. Another great reason to get this blu ray anthology, it offers the theatrical versions AND the Directors cut to all four films. There was a lot of hate for the fourth installment, Alien: Resurrection. Just don't expect it to take itself too seriously, as it shouldn't. After three films of nothing but seriousness, I don't see anything wrong with adding some humor into the fourth. Just keep an open mind. I did & I really enjoyed the film. There's one specific scene where Ron Perlmans character finishes shooting an alien, then comes face to face with a spider and its web.. I wont ruin it. But he takes drastic measures to get rid of it. Made me laugh at least. It also comes with two disc filled with extras, which is cool. If you're thinking about getting this, don't hesitate to! Make sure you also have the Alien spin-off, Prometheus on hand as well so you can watch that after the Anthology!Read full review
This set is one of the finest transfers to blu-ray that I've ever seen. Getting the theatrical release along with the special editions (director's cut for alien) is a great bonus. For those who like special features and extras this set is phenomenal. Past that, the box/container is very nice, simple and elegant. For a six disc set it takes up very little shelf space and the container is well designed to protect the discs. Although only an opinion, the first two movies are among the best sci-fi movies ever done. The other two movies are not of the same caliber, but are quite watchable.
