I finished first watching the four movies then the special features tomorrow. Of all the four Alien flicks...I like best ALIEN by Ridley Scott followed closely by David Fincher's...ALIEN 3.

The least among the four movies that I like is Cameron's ALIENS.

David FIncher has an eye just like Sir Ridley Scott but I was sad to know thru Empire Magazine that he killed NEWT on ALIEN 3.

I haven't watched alien resurection yet ( im going to watch it next week ) and I just finished watching alien 3. My fave would be alien followed closely by aliens. Didnt like alien 3 that much though.

alien quadrilogy? is this the same as Alien Legacy? does it have the same set as Legacy does? just a thought, nothing more... ^_^;

Koolkat · « **Reply #93 on:** May 09, 2004 at 01:42 AM »

I think it's better than legacy. Quadrilogy has 9 discs in all.

Camerons ALIENS is more of a battle movie. Where armed warfare is really present, unlike Alien and Alien 3, where they only used what was there at there ship and/or colony.

Yes, he did killed Newt.

I have seen both the R1 and R3 releases.

R3 is more of a Book type box, while R1 is where you can really spread the disc (Panoramic).

No weapons were used in ALIEN & ALIEN 3 bro... on that part alone you can actually see who's genius among them and even Sigourney objected for NEWT's death on Alien 3.

Critics were divided regarding ALIEN 3 but man...Fincher will follow-up Alien 3 with Fight Club & Se7en...both excellent flicks also.

In ALIEN, they used a somewhat an electric ROD and Siquorney used a grappling hook to push the Alien. In ALIEN 3, they used just there skills, somewhat like Macgyver.

I haven't finished watching all the extras, special features on the dvds. Will start with ALIEN tonight.

The best among the four Alien flicks, I would like to see Sir Ridley Scott work behind the scenes and how he interact with the cast headed by Sigourney Weaver.

Koolkat · « **Reply #99 on:** May 22, 2004 at 04:10 AM »

Finally finished all 9 discs. I have watched this set everyday for 5 weeks and it was really a great collection. I wish they would pattern boxed sets from this one. I like how the way each movie has a special features disc. Not like the indy trilogy where all special features were on one disc. Of the four movies I liked the first one the best because right after the facehugger scene, I was always uneasy from my seat from that point on. Really scary stuff. And to think this was movie that was done outside the digital age. Most scary movies today are kinda like jokes to me.

favourite ko sa series na ito yung alien 3 dahil gusto ko yung performances ng mga actors. mas OK yung extended edition niya.

Sayang yung alien resurrection. ang laki sana ng budget kaya lang sobrang daming loopholes.

btw gusto ko yung pagiging candid ng mga interviewees sa mga supplements. hindi nila gaano pinopromote yung pelikula. sinasabi nila kung ano yung dapat na nangyari.

bakit hindi nga pala pumayag na magparticipate si david fincher sa DVD na ito?

Koolkat · « **Reply #101 on:** May 22, 2004 at 09:16 PM »

Oo nga e sayang talaga yung ressurection. Hindi ko talaga nagustuhan yung ending. For those of you na hindi pa nakakapanood hindi ko na sasabihin yung nagayari pero nakakabitin talaga. Sayang din at hindi nagparticipate si James Cameron. I would have liked to hear his comments about the british crew. Nakakatuwa talaga yung special features disc nung Aliens. Very interesting yung production nung movie na yun.

I saw the Alien Quadrilogy R3 in Astrovision for P2,800. Has anyone gotten this? Is it identical with the R1 release, or should I hold out for a R1? Would appreciate any comments or info on this, thanks very much!

To make it easier to do find threads, I introduced the following thread, located at the top of this section of the message board:

Alphabetical List of Discussed R3 Titles

For future reference.

what's AVP

and when will it be released

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #114 on:** Aug 30, 2004 at 12:23 AM »

AVP = Alien Vs. Predator, and I think that statement was made half-jokingly.

Though I wouldn't put it past them.

I'm also a bit surprised na ubos na yung Alien Quadrilogy sa Podium. I was there about the same time as firewired, I guess, and was actually shocked at the number they had in stock. I even thought to myself, "Yeah, limited stocks DAW, inaamag naman sa shelves sa dami."

What a difference a few days makes. I wonder if they weren't pulled out and brought to other branches?

Does anyone know if the features of the boxed set is any different from the individual releases? I already have an R1 Aliens and R3 Resurrection. Is it worth junking those just to get the first and the third in the box set?

Just bought my set last monday @ Astro SM sucat. Tagal na nandun yun, walang bumibili so I decided to purchase it. But to my disappointment, WALANG BOOKLET inside!!

I checked previous posts in this thread & hindi pala ako nag-iisa. However, last stock na yun sa SM sucat, I just hope may makuha pa from other branches to replace my copy. Kainis talaga...GRRRRRR!!!
