4.0 out of 5 stars It DOES have bonus content! This set is JUST right for the casual DVD fan!, August 1, 2010

I'm not sure what some of the other reviewers were critiquing. Some claimed that this set had no bonus content which is completely false. There is a LOT of bonus material on this set, mainly focused on the first two films (Ridley Scott commentary, isolated score, James Cameron interviews, deleted scenes and tons of photos). This is basically the Alien Lagacy set, which was released in the late 90's, minus the horrible 4th film. That sits just fine with me. The one reason I never purchased that set is because I despise that 4th film. Sure, the third isn't near as good as the first 2, but it at least fits in the mood of an Alien film, unlike Resurrection.
If you are hardcore, there is the much more expansive Alien Quadrilogy on DVD, but believe it or not, it excludes some of the bonus content from this set that I really enjoy, so I never traded for the Quad. Now that an all inclusive Blu-Ray release is coming, I think I may upgrade, but this set has served me very well though all of my years of DVD. What you get for the price of this set CANNOT be beat.
And again, there are plenty of bonus features on these disc, particularly the first film. A bonus for me is that these are all in slim packs, which saves room on my shelf. I love slim packs. I never understood why DVD cases had to be so large anyway.
So if you don't have a Blu-ray, and aren't a hardcore fan that must have and watch the expensive, 60+ hour, Holy Grail of Alien sets, this is the perfect choice for the price. Good movies, good features, good sound, good picture...good deal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Revisiting a Sci-Fi classic X3, March 3, 2009

By 

DW (U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Alien Triple Pack (Alien / Aliens / Alien 3) (DVD)

I found this product worth it for the price. As other reviewers have noted, it really seems kind of "slapped together" in the fact you really are not getting much for added bonus features as one might expect. What you are getting are the first 3 Alien films, which do include a few tidbits in bonus features, just nothing to in depth.

For most "Alien" fans, I would suggest checking out the other package that includes Alien Resurrection, the fourth disc.

The original film, included here, still holds a lot of power in storytelling and terror. The design of the alien and the alternate mission the crew finds themselves in overshadow the futuristic vessel they are on, what with it's toggle switches and command prompt screens, give it a nearly obsolete yet still nostalgic feel.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Alien Triple Pack (Alien / Aliens / Alien 3) (DVD)

I have actually purchased this DVD trilogy twice now - the first time an old friend borrowed it and never gave it back, so I bought it again. This DVD combo is a great deal. The special features are pretty minimal, but as another reviewer said, perfect for the "casual DVD fan." If you like watching a lot of special features, I definitely suggest getting a different version of these movies. I personally wouldn't buy this if I had to pay full price for it new, but it is a great deal used. It was less than $10 including shipping for me - such a great deal - couldn't pass it up.

As far as the movies, I'm not a huge fan of Alien 3, but Alien and Aliens are both sci-fi classics. I think this is a must-own collection. I really didn't like Alien Resurrection that much, which is why I opted for the trilogy instead of the quadrilogy. If you like sci-fi, you must buy this!
