The first Alien movie blew my mind out, and I'm not that easy "blowable" when it comes to Sci Fi movies. The icy, slow moving and claustrophobic atmosphere directed by Ridley Scott, enchanted by the bio-bone-metallic alien surroundings created by Giger, makes Alien one of the most scary Sci Fi movies up to this date. It was also by the time one of the best acted Sci Fi films made, and I have to admit that Ripley really was "my kind of gal".

The follower-up, The Aliens, took years to develope and was a different kind of movie.
Directed by Cameroun it had a fast moving and action like setting, with big mouthed marines determined to really kick some ass and killing of the alien bugs just like that, and a sombre Ripley calling the cards saying: "Oh yeah ? A single one of them took out my entire crew one by one, and now we might be
facing a lot of them"
Aliens lack the erieness, and creepy feeling of the first movie, but I've yet not decided which movie I like best. But they're both very good to outstanding movies, ranking 5 stars in my book.

In front of the third Alien movie there was a lot of rumours that this would be the last in a triology, giving answers to what the Alien species really was all about, where they came from and their purpose in life. There was to be a final battle between "us and them" on their home planet.
Instead we had Ripley facing a smarter, more agile alien trapped on a prison planet. The movie is trying hard the have some deep profound human sentiment in it, telling us that the bad guys really are great guys when it comes down to the nitty gritty. It ends up with Ripley biting the dust in a bacward swan dive into molten metal, and by golly, I thought this was The End of the Alien saga. Yeah right! Well, I'll give it a 3.5 star rating

Now, in the fourth Alien movie Ripley is cloned back to life, but have had her DNA mixed with the alien's DNA, (back from movie No 3).
She is now partly alien and has quite exceptional reflexes and strength, but there ends the excitement for me so I shall say no more about this movie, except giving it a 2.5 star rating.
Total for the Alien quad pack is a strong 4 star rating from me, as it is a must in every Sci Fi collection.
NB! there has been a longstanding rumour of a fifth Alien movie, but if Ripley is gonna be played by S.Weawer, they'll better hurry up before they have to roll her on the set in a wheel chair so; hurry on kitty, kitty !

I finally decided I wanted all the Alien movies on DVD as previously I had a few on video. This set was keenly priced and the movies are a pleasure to watch one after the other - if you have the time to do this it really adds to the Alien experience. The box set is a nice addition to my collection and the box itself is attractive and all printed in English (for a change).

  Alien Quadrilogy-Fantastic films and great effects
Review created: 10/07/06

Alien Quadrilogy has to be the best science fiction films ever to be directored as well as produced.This Compliation has the complete Alien films and Sigourney Weaver as Warrent Officer Eileen Ripley is fantastic in all of them.I enjoyed all these films and i must say that the storylines and acting by the cast members were brillant and the alien special effects were also fantastic.
If you have been a Aliens fan like me from the start you will simply love owning this Alien Quadrillogy and can watch them at your leisure.Even now after a few months have gone by.i get out one of the Alien films and re-watch and i feel like i am watching it again for the first time
My Favourite Alien Film was Aliens -the 2nd one
I would highly recomend this Aliens Quadrillogy to anyone who like me is a true Science-fiction fan and who like me thought Aliens was a true classic

I decided to buy Alien Quadrilogy as it was a deal too good to miss. I have always been a fan of the Alien films and admired the technology used to make the "monsters" seem real. The acting is of a very high standard and story lines are believable and in todays world not too far fetched!! These films are known world wide and are still the best of their kind. Scary but can't stop watching kind of films, excellent quality and extremly well made. Definately ones not to miss.

  The ulitmate Sci-Fi horror package
Review created: 10/12/08
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This pack brings all four films to you in a nice case.
.
Alien, the original, and best.
A deep space ship responds to a distress call, only to find an Alien intent on destruction of all beings. There is a sub story about the conspiracy, how they were sent there by the Military in the hope of collecting the ultimate weapon.
Special effects look good, even now, after all this time.
Excellent cast.
.
Aliens, is very good, despite being a sequel. Sigourney Weaver reprises her role as the heroine, Lt Ripley, from the first film. This time she is drafted in to help the rescue mission of an outpost believed to have been over-run by the Alien.
The advances in special effects are obvious in the way the Aliens move.
.
Aliens 3 lost the plot slightly. More about cashing in on the good name in my opinion. The special effects take another leap forward however.
The story is based on the Alien infiltrating a Prison Colony, and causing its usual death and mayhem.
.
Aliens Ressurection does what we thought was not possible, bringing Lt Ripley back to life from her DNA. Only to find she had an Alien growing inside her at the time.
An excellent return to form for the genre.

The ist "alien" movie is in my opinion the best, but the three sequels have much to reccomend them.Special effects are superb and the acting is top class.
You can get this boxset on Ebay for about £15.00 which to my mind is a bargain so if you like sci fi, great special effects, and good acting this is for you.

  RIPLEY MUSCLES
Review created: 05/04/07

1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

So much has been written about the Alien films so it'd be a bit futile to say how good these are or which is the best. They're almost constantly being repeated on telly as well.

But there's nothing like discarding the slightly fuzzy broadcasts of Sky and Freeview before settling down to watching the full DVD quality of these often astonishing films. This pack is a mega collection of bonus material PLUS original theatrical AND Directors cut versions. You really will have everything to do with the Alien series in this box.

The landmark original Alien is still convincing viewing - incredible - and it's timeless construction is almost as cast iron as Kubrik's 2001 (although they are obviously vastly different). Then there's the gung-ho-Marines-in-space of Aliens and the overall visual ammo-fest in what seems like a never ending rollercoaster.

The largely Brit cast of Alien 3 make for a completely different feel and scenario - brilliantly acted and surprisingly cohesive given the issues that arose during production. Ripley dies.

Ripley Lives! - via the Alien Hybrid reincarnation/clone Ripley in Alien:Resurrection - not sure about the ending on that one with the freaky Human/Alien monster, but it's a credible outing.

You're on ebay! - so if you get this at a bargain price it's well worth it. For the completist (and true Alien nuts may lambaste me for this), you really have to cap the collection with the 2 disc edition of Alien Vs Predator. It's not as bad as you think and of course has the horrible devils in, to much the same effect as the original series.

I have loved this series in VHS format but the opportunity to own it on DVD and with Directors Cut make it extra special. It cannot, in my opinion, be praised enough and if youm are a Sigourney Weaver fan this version of the Alien films is a must.

Each film sticks to the original format of video but adds so much extra to the viewing eperience via the cut scenes, etc that it makes the experience of seeing Ripley facing the alien for the first time, almost breathtaking.

As an example of the sci-fi/horror genre this series must rate as the very best and should not be missed.

Excellent, gripping, top quality with surround sound felt like i was

This is my favarate film of all time and to buy it on dvd was the best buy ever
the qaulity of picture was the best, sound was top of the range.
And to have all the extras witch ive never seen be for was a bonus.
Defanatly a 5* rateing form me.

  A LOT OF ALIEN FOR YOUR BUCK
Review created: 24/11/09

Whilst the recent Alien Vs Predator mash-ups may have sullied the reputation of the original Alien franchise, there is no denying the quality of the four Alien movies in this comprehensive box set. From the Hitchcock like suspense and chills of the first film through the gung-ho action fest of Aliens and the queasy gore of the final instalment, these sci-fi hits are never less than entertaining.
Even the curio that is the atmosperic but ploddingly slow Alien 3 looks fabulous and the director's cut actualy improves the released version.
Sigory Weaver is excellent in all four movies as the plucky Ellen Ripley and at least two (Alien & Aliens) are stone cold five star Sci-fi classics.
Each film comes complete with an extra disc of interviews, outtakes and documentaries - including those all important directors cuts - a lot of Alien for your buck.

Saw this one on e-bay and priced at just £5.50 for nine YES 9 discs set ,couldn't refuse.The extras are all very interesting and the behind the scenes stuff really cool. I already had Alien and Aliens ,but this box set is awesome.Excellent used condition - congrats to the seller - man out of my own heart - obviously looks after his gear.
All 4 of the films are here plus directors cuts etc.the images are really sharp.
Can't wait for the dark winter nights to draw in, so me and the missus can settle down with a beer and one of these films.

  Amazing down to mediocre
Review created: 07/09/09

I have rated Alien Quadrilogy as excellent based on the first two films only.
Alien_1 and Alien_2 are rivetting, and totally absorb and involve the audience.

Alien_3 and Alien_4 are poor facsimilies of the Alien experience, and are blatant attempts to sqeeze more commercial success from from the original concept.
Certainly Alien_4 has a large dose of special effects, but this is insufficient to save it from being a so-so viewing experience.
