DVD Reviews of Alien Triple Pack (Alien / Aliens / Alien 3)
DVD Review: awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
awesome price and the bonus features here are great perfect addition for my scifi collectionDVD Review: Mediocre set
Summary: 3 Stars
To put it bluntly, your better off getting the quadrilogy set than this one. The quality of the films are not there. The only redeeming thing is the price. DVD Review: Cool But Striped Down
Summary: 5 Stars
As you heared from the other reviewist there is no bonus content in this set. It does contain the first three alien films. Alien, Aliens, and Alien3. Each movie has its own disc and slim-case. Although it is not the complete saga its still a great deal.
Disc 1 - Alien: Theatrical Cut
Disc 2 - Aliens: Special Edition
Disc 3 - Alien3: Theatrical Cut
DVD Review: Not what I expected
Summary: 3 Stars
After purchasing the Triple Pack, I immediately began to notice that this box set didn't really seem to be an "authentic" box set. It seemed to be missing key features.
1.) No bonus disc. Typically, box sets include the movies in the series, plus a bonus disc (Think Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, etc)
2.) The aspect ratio isn't consistent. Alien and Alien 3 were 2.40 aspect ratio, while Alien 2 was modified to 1.85. I found that rather strange.
3.) The editions were also not consistent. Alien and Alien 3 were just the regular edition, while Aliens was the Special Edition. Why didn't the set include Alien: Director's Cut and Alien 3: Special Edition?
4.) No authentic box set should use slim DVD cases. That's just wrong.
5.) This is a big one for "box sets". There are FOUR Alien movies. Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, and Alien Resurrection. So what happen to Resurrection? Why was it omitted? It's like selling a Star Wars box set and omitting Return of the Jedi, but including the other five.
I understand that there is a Quadrilogy for sale for quite a bit more money (and I highly recommend it), but the question still begs to be answered. Why does this set exist? It seems more like a bootleg flea market bundle of random editions of some, not all, of the Alien movies then a true Alien box set. At least they were the THX Remastered versions, not some straight-from-VHS dump with all its Dolby Surround (3.1) glory that seems to be rather common with DVD conversions of old movies.
Maybe I am just being picky, but I feel this set shouldn't even exist.
