4.0 out of 5 stars
Enhance your enjoyment of the Alien movies., September 13, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Alien Omnibus (Hardcover)
This omnibus contains very competent novelizations of the first three movies in the so-called Alien Saga. Fans of the movies should not have any serious objections to the small additions Foster makes, and I for one was amused by his (?) censoring of profane language (for example, in Aliens, Ripley's famous "Get away from her, you bitch!" is given as "Get away from her, you!"). In Alien 3 we are back to uninhibited language, including liberal use of the f-word, so go figure. Those who saw Alien 3 and were confused by the sequence in which the alien pursues various prisoners through various tunnels will find the written version easier to follow. By the way, Foster has also done an excellent version of John Carpenter's movie, The Thing.
