We've been informed that the R1 box of Alien Quadrilogy may be available locally in the next couple of weeks. No pricing details have been released yet, but we'll keep you posted as we receive new information.
-
Have seen it already. PARC has a couple already.
Almost 50 hours all in all
-
Is it worth the price of entry? I'm guessing that Viva will probably sell the box between 3.5K and 4.5K. With the coming Grand AstroPlus Podium sale, the individual R3 films are going down to P575 each (although these are definitely inferior in terms of video quality and special features).
-
Will the movies be release in R3 separately?
^_^x
-
Is it already available???
-
ive seen a vcd version@600,in no time magkakaron na daw ng dvd set..thats the word from the manager of astro sm north..di pa lang nila alam ung exact date..but probably i think,this march.. ;D
-

just in time for my birthday.... ;D ;D
-
i wonder will it be released in r1 or r3..or both versions? ;D
-
Any news? Release na ba dito yan?
-
Fox is shipping this out from abroad before the end of the month, so the stocks should be in the Philippines sometime in April.
By the way, The Alien Quadrilogy R1 set will be an exclusive Astrovision/AstroPlus release in partnership with Viva Video.
-
I received word from Viva last night that the Alien Quadrilogy Region 1 box will be exclusively available at all Astrovision and AstroPLUS branches starting April 13. Retail price is confirmed at Php2.8-K.
Please note that since this is a direct import release, stocks are very limited. If you intend to buy this set, buy it soon.
-
Can we make reservations for this title already at the Astro stores? :) May promos ba sila for pinoydvd members?

WOW, at last may definite date na rin at isang linggong tulugan nalang, hehehe, i'd been anticipating this since you broke the news last march 7 mainly because of its very reasonable price
thanks a lot for the info boss firewired, dapat walang gastos ngayong holy week para may pambili nito, hehehe
-
Yahoooo!!! for only 2.8k, this is a best-buy! :)
Sana may reservation... :)
-
Yessss..... ;D ;D
Thank god I have a credit card ;D ;D ;D Dagdag utang na naman :( :'(
-
Are you sure that the packaging would be any good. THIS IS VIVA FILMS we are talking about. They are notorious for short changing r3 releases!!!!!! >:(
-
Since it's an R1 release (direct import) and not R3, i think the same packaging will be used. :)
-
A steal indeed.
pambawi dun sa natalo ko para sa Schindler's List giftset. hehehehe.

To quote from the front page:
UPDATE: Viva Home Video clarified that the Alien Quadrilogy box is a Region 3 version release and not the Region 1 version as earlier expected. Delivery is still confirmed for April 13. Viva assured PinoyDVD that the set is still a full FOX import and is packaged identically to its Region 1 counterpart. All discs and special features are intact except possibly for the substitution of Asian subtitles.
Oh well. The head of Viva's Fox marketing group assured me that except for the Region 3 disc setting, the box set is comparable to the Region 1 release. To Viva's credit, recent Fox releases have been top notch so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
-
Limited edition pa rin kaya ito? R3 pala, e. Baka naman maraming stock. It's undoubtedly a steal at that price, pero medyo short tayo ngayon. :-\
-
I really don't mind if its an R3 release as long as all special features of the R1 are intact....
-
Limited edition pa rin kaya ito? R3 pala, e. Baka naman maraming stock. It's undoubtedly a steal at that price, pero medyo short tayo ngayon. :-\
OO nga limited pa ba ito? Kung marami namang stock eh later na lang ako bibili. Im saving up for my AVR and speakers eh.
-

I think the R3 will come as a 5discs set so some of the R1 special features will not be available.

What gave you that idea, when it's all over this web site, both on the main index page and in firewired's replies in this thread that it's a 9-disc set?
-
I'm verifying now. As far as I know, it's the 9-disc set. JT is based in Singapore however so he's probably referring to the R3 release there -- so yes, I'm a bit worried at this point. If Viva is importing an R3 release, hopefully it's not that one.
-
Just got word from Viva. Their response was fairly direct - "We assure you that we are releasing the 9-disc version." :D
-

Sana nga 9discs set ang ire-release dyan. I saw an alien quadrilogy boxset here which comes with 5 discs only, di ako sure kung r3 nga but definitely not a pdvd.
-
i have faith in Viva (naks). totoong super OK ang mga nahuhuling releases nila. baka isa ako sa mga unang bibili. malaki lang ako sa podium. Off ko na in one hour!
-
Sana bukas ng umaga meron pa.
Yun nga lang walang TV at this point in time na mapapanooran.
-
I just bought the set from AstroVision Glorietta. It's a 9-disc set with booklet in a cool packaging, embossed egg in front. Bestbuy talaga... Only 5 copies were released to their branch so there are now only 4 sets remaining. :)
Cover Art and packaging same as R2 :

-
am planning to get one tomorrow. reviews for this R3 release would be very much appreciated.
thanks JhunDV for confirming that it's really indeed a 9-disc boxset with booklet! :)
-
:D Sir JhunDV is it really 2800 pesoss?
-
really 2.8k pesos only! :)
-
If that's the R3 packaging (which seems to be using album-style platters for the discs), it actually looks sturdier than the R1 version which uses the usual foldout style digi-pack. Btw P2,800 is confirmed. Mr. Hankey already posted this release in the shopping thread (http://www.pinoydvd.com/board/index.php?topic=21126.new;boardseen#new).

Buti naman at 9discs set. Sulit na sulit ito for 2.8k pesos.

Copies of Alien Quadrilogy are definitely limited according to Viva. Please post here if your Astrovision runs out of stock. By the way, reviews of the R3 set are welcome. If your review is selected, we'll feature it in the DVD Reviews section of our front page.

Yes, that's exactly the type of packaging, down to the clear yellow plastic "pages" of the album. The slip case of the 9-disc set is embossed with "metallic"-type print, and it comes with a high-quality 24 page colored booklet with program descriptions, chapter stops, cast lists/credits, and features present per disc.
Picture quality (I'm only looking at Disc One) is pristine. Anamorphic widescreen.
Language options are English 5.1 DD (For all 4 films) and English 5.1 DTS (For Alien and Alien Resurrection). Subtitles include English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese (written in Chinese calligraphy, so I don't know which dialects), Malaysian, Indonesian and Tagalog! There are pages 2 and 3 for the subtitle options in case you don't find Tagalog right away.
Sample of the Tagalog subtitles:
"Where is Earth?" - Saan ang mundo?
"You should now." - Dapat alam mo.
"It's not our system" - Hindi ito ang ating system.
"Scan." - Siyasatin.
Siyasatin! ;D
Best R3 buy EVER! Astro Virra Mall got 6 copies, I reserved/picked up the last one, sorry.
Not sure if Astro Greenhills (Parking Mall?) has any copies left. I don't think too many people go to that branch.
-
Pumunta ako sa Podium kanina at wala silang kopya kaya takbo agad ako sa Megamall. 10 copies lang meron sila at hindi pa naka-display kaya kailangang magtanong pa.
Grabe! Ang ganda--I think this is the best R3 release. At 2800, it is not only a good deal but it is rather a steal. Viva, bilib ako!
-
Also got mine yesterday at Astro Festival Mall. Super ganda nga!!!! Di ko pa na check kung complete yung special features. Pero talagang best buy ito. Sana laging ganito yung mga future na box set releases na mga region 3.
-
Kakaingit bili na rin ako later na lang yung avr and speakers ;D Sana meron pang copy

if Aliens disc is in DTS... this a better buy kasi sa R1 release only two films are in DTS soundtrack... Aliens and Alien Resurrection..
naku... baka bumili din ako nito...

Whoops!
Teka, huwag ka muna bumili. Nagkamali ako. WALANG DTS yung Aliens. Pareho lang sa R1, Alien at Alien Resurrection lang ang may DTS.
Sorry po!

Not sure if Astro Greenhills (Parking Mall?) has any copies left. I don't think too many people go to that branch.
Also got my copy yesterday afternoon from Astro Virra Mall after looking for it at Astro Podium (wala pa raw silang copies at that time) and Astro Greenhills Parking Lot (they didn't even know about the boxset release. They just referred me to the Quadrilogy VCD and to the old single DVD releases).
This is definitely a GREAT BUY! :)
-
Got my copy today from AstroPlus Megamall. Me 7 copies pa daw Megamall. :)
-
got the DVDs. nice packaging. feels well crafted and quite sturdy.
definitely a bang for the buck purchase! Astro Glorietta only has one copy left.
-
Ganda nga ng packaging! ;) Got my copy na rin at Astro plus in Podium, today lang daw dumating yung stocks nila and the sales lady even told me that there were 6 people looking for this yesterday. Because they only have five sets my officemate decided na rin to get one, kya tatlo na lang meron sila. ;D
-
i got my copy from astro SM City Cebu early this afternoon, they were given only 3 copies at isa nalang ata ang natira doon ngayon...the packaging is really world class, this could easily qualify as maybe the best r3 release so far...and at its price of only Php2,800.00, its really a steal...

got a copy na.
tanong lang, baket mas maiksi yung directors cut ng Alien (1) compared with the theatrical?? hmmm
mukang may mali din sa running time printed on the booklet.
can anyone else confirm? ???
-
Yes, there is a misprint in the booklet, which says the director's cut is 110 minutes.
It's actually 115 minutes and 37 seconds.
But the director's cut is really shorter than the theatrical version, which runs 116 minutes and 25 seconds.
Here's why:
"For the Director's Cut, Scott has trimmed a few brief scenes (notably Dallas' second visit to Mother) and tightened a few others to improve the pace. He's also added a few brief extended moments, as well as a handful of new scenes. These include the crew listening to the alien transmission on the bridge of the Nostromo, Kane setting his weapon down before he looks at the alien egg on the derelict, Lambert slapping Ripley outside the infirmary, a few quick new shots when Brett goes looking for Jonesy, the infamous 'cocoon' scene near the end, and a brief shot of the alien smacking Jonesy's cage. Additional fixes made by Scott include a couple of starfield shots and revised color timing throughout the film. In terms of length, because of the trims, the Director's Cut is actually about a minute shorter than the original version."
-
misprint is OK.
where did you get that info?
so mali din yung running time as displayed in the amazon website?
thanks!
-

No need to panic yet. Got my copy at Podium last night. There appeared to be about two dozen copies behind the counter.
-
May review na ba ng R3 version ng Alien Quadrilogy. I would like to buy it but my experience with R3 releases (e.g. Animatrix) makes me ultra cautious.
-
just reserved a copy through phone at Astro SM Pampanga, baka maubusan ako ;D sabay ko ng kukunin with my matrix revolutions preorder.

Sir Scott prefers the theatrical cut rather than his "own cut" because it only matters in few minutes.
Anyway the price tag is really a steal! I was tempted to buy the box set yesterday but I'm still looking for the feedback here in pinoydvd.
Baka tomorrow I'll get the box set at Astro in Sm North Edsa, Gloria the sales personnel kept on bragging me that it is only limited release. :)
-
Finally bought my copy yesterday at Astrovision Centerpoint. They only had 2 sets available. :D
When I opened the box to inspect the discs, the sales people swarmed around me and were very impressed with the packaging and contents. ::)
Later while I was browsing through the other dvds on sale, I overheard one of the staff calling another branch to pull out their stock. Hehehe. ;D
-
just picked up the only AQ set in display at astroplus megamall :)
-
Noticed something that was in the R1 that is lacking in the R3. The Alien3 and Alien Resurrection features (theatrical/assembly/extended cuts) don't seem to be THX certified. Also, THX Optimizers are not included for these films.
I guess I don't mind these omissions, given the price. Your mileage may vary.
-
I was in Podium kanina, more than a dozen copies. You can actually see what's inside since they unpacked some copies on display. This is really SULIT nga for the price... :)
-
Gloria my favorite sales personnel at Astro in Sm North Edsa reserved me a copy although I have second thoughts buying the box-set. :)
Finally bought it kanina lunch break...only 1 copy left but it was already reserved for a certain doctor...maybe he or she is also a pinoydvd member.
Will open the box-set as soon as I get home...baka mahiram pa ng mga office mates ko... ;D

Present po. I'll get the reserved set tomorrow. :)

2.8k for the quadrilogy set?? GOOD BUY na yan! i got mine for $76..R1 :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
what are the differences between the r1 and r3 release?
-
Just got my copy from Astrovision SM North. They still have 6 copies.
-
Present po. I'll get the reserved set tomorrow. :)
So that's you sir, er...doc rydent. :)
-
The box-set has a sturdy packaging... can beat the box-set of LOTR Platinum editions, with cool booklet that you can treasure for a long time.
It's so easy to lift the discs on the hub which is the exact opposite of 2 disc-set of Warner releases like the Harry Potter, True Romance.
The video transfer also are excellent, so far I finished watching ALIEN & ALIENS.
Will watch tomorrow the extras of both movies. Maybe abutin ako one month before I finished watching all the 9 discs. :)
-
Just got mine at astro glorietta last night. Nagpareserve pa naman ako sa astro festival mall but since nasa glorietta ako and there were 2 copies left in display, might as well buy it there.
-
i went to astro festival mall last friday kaso wala na clang stock. diretso ako soutmall, ;D ;D meron pang isa :D
-
Was able to score my copy from Astro Festival Mall a few days ago... I guess they ran out already.
The boxed set looks great. Beautiful packaging and priced just right. :)
-
got mine at astro sm pampanga, 2 sets lang ang nadeliver sa kanila, 1 set was already sold, buti nalang nagpareserve ako.
nasa astro glorietta ako kahapon, i saw 2 sets displayed at the back of the counter, nabili na ni Koolkat yung isa, so baka 1 set nalang ang available.
-
good for mr muttley hindi ko na kinuha yung pinareserve ko sa festival mall because i was also there last friday kaya lang wala na silang stock. tumawag sila sa southmall and they said meron pang isa. tinamad na akong pumuntang southmall kaya i just told one of the clerks to reserve it for me and they held the last copy for me. Since i am working in makati, magbakasakali ako sa astro glorietta to see if they still had some copies and, lo and behold, they had 2 copies left kaya dun ko nalang binili.
-
Anybody else looking for copies? There was a delivery made to AstroPlus Podium so they have more than a dozen copies in stock. This looks like the last of it though according to the salesperson. He claimed that most of the other branches were already out of stock. Can anyone confirm?

Sir firewired...there are still 2 stocks at Sm City North Edsa Astro last Monday. :)
BY the way where is the pressing of the 9 discs? All are excellent in quality.
Is it also in Taiwan? ???
-
Taiwan probably. Most of the R3 releases are manufactured by Infodisc.

It's identical to the Reg. 1 discs.

Sigh :-\
Anyone interested in buying my Region 1 Alien Legacy set? At least magkakaroon ako ng pambayad for the Quadrilogy.
-
I just watched alien 1 which had DTS on my entetainment system (promac 5.1 t). But I didn't notice anything special about it. A lot of you guys have been raving about the DTS soundtrack. But I really didn't notice any differences between a dvd that has a DTS soundtrack and a dvd that doesn't. I'm kind of a newbie in dvd collecting so can someone please explain the difference.

there is not much difference when your using htib or entertainment systems.try using avr's or separates.you will hear a big difference.dts sountrack are more dynamic and its louder than dd.

Guys,
Anybody know where I can still get a copy of Alien Quadrilogy? ???
-
Hey geoffrey, try mo astro glorietta. I was there last night and they had 2 copies left (again)
-
yup-yup...it seems that they do replenish fast, I got a copy last Friday, and it was supposedly their last, well seemingly for the week. ;)
I also saw 2 copies at the Astrovision Greenhills. ;D
I guess there are enough copies for the limited few who can truly appreciate this particular release. ;D ;D ;D
-
I've seen around 8 to 10 or more copies in AstroPlus Podium yesterday afternoon. I'm wanted to buy but still thinking coz of monetary limitation. :'(
-
yup-yup...it seems that they do replenish fast, I got a copy last Friday, and it was supposedly their last, well seemingly for the week. ;)
Yup, Astro's been moving stock around from what I understand. They have their own warehouse in San Juan. According to Viva though, they've delivered all of their stock to Astro so the stores are just finishing off whatever copies they still have or are sending them to other branches that have higher demand. At last count, less than 40 copies left daw.
-
I guess it wasn't that limited after all. And to think nagkandarapa ako nun when it came out for the fear na baka maubusan ako. But it doesn't make any difference. I'm gonna buy it sooner or later anyway.
-
Picked up mine at Astro in Glorietta yesterday... 2 copies left over there.
Questions: the set has a pocket where a booklet should normally be, but mine doesn't have one. Is there supposed to be one? Should I return it?
-
Yes you should return it because it should have a booklet there.
-
finally got the copy...sulit talaga for 2800pesos

Welcome aboard...aquajoe.
Yup...definitely it should contain a booklet that has synopsis, cast, chapter listings of the dvds & other tidbits. Ask the sales personnel from Astro in Glorietta.
-
I'm down to three more discs. I watch the movies in 1 week intervals. I watch the films on my day off and I watch the special features disc of the film within that week. That way it really builds the anticipaton of watching the next part of the quadrilogy. I especially like how they produced the second film. There was an animosity between the american and the british crew. Medyo masungit pala si James Cameron. :)
-
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... ^_^;
-
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).
-
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.
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.
-
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?
-
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! ;D

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

may available pa ba nito sa mga astrovision? pa advise naman if in case you see that it is still available. thanks!

About 8 copies available in AstroPlus Podium when I dropped by 2 weeks ago.

what's AVP ??? and when will it be released ???
-
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?
-
may available pa ba nito sa mga astrovision? pa advise naman if in case you see that it is still available. thanks!
Last week there are still stocks of it at Sm Megamall & Sm Manila Astrovision. Wala nga pumapansin doon.....dude.
Try to visit these stores even you are far away from it. :)

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!!!
>:(

try to contact cramps at 0917835 2106, last time i checked he has a very good condition region 1 20th anniversary edition boxset.
-
same here, im also looking for the r3 alien quadrilogy. muntik na akong magpabili ng r1 eh ang mahal. ngayon ko lang kasi nalaman na may r3 version, sayang. anyway, pasabi na lang kung anong store pa merong stock? thanks! ;)
-
Yup, this is the best r3 boxed set I have. Great packaging and all special features from the r1 are intact. Muntik na rin ako bumili ng r1 version noon. Anyways, you can try to look in astro festival mall. Almost every week ako nandodon pero mukhang inaalikabok na yung copy nila. Just beware of copies that don't have the booklet.
-
guys check nyo muna price ni cramps before getting the r3,his r1 is viewed once with complete inserts and limited edition trading cards. i think its cheeper than brand new r3 set. >:D
-
nagbebenta sya ng used r1 alien quadrilogy still complete with booklets and stuff? ???
-
yup last time i checked pero probably by now wala na since ilang days na din ang lumipas. ;D
-
no choice kundi antayin na lang na maging mura ung R1 Quadrilogy ;D
-
mura na nga yon eh ayaw nyo lang kasi muna i try ask kung how much. :-X
-
hehe, wag muna ngayon at naka-order na ako ng iba. nde naman kasi prioritized masyado ung quadrilogy sa list ko. but its still a collectible. anyway, thanks sa info ;)

Anyone else notice some distortion going on at about 1:35:28? It's during some dialogue between Bishop (Lance Henriksen) and Ripley (Sigourney Weaver)?

i'm guessing you watched the restored cut of alien 3. the audio distortions are there because they put back restored footage not found on the theatrical release and the audio was either damaged or taken from when they were shooting the actual scene, not from a studio.

Nope. I was referring to the Director's Cut of Aliens (the second film).

Hey Guys!!!
I just purchased my R3 Alien Quadrilogy at Robinsons Manila for the price of P2,800.00, and I can't believe the amazing special features offered by this format. Sigourney Weaver is Tour de Force as well as the DVD. Congratulations to all of us, who owned this nine disc quadrilogy box set. It's really the best DVD so far.

meron pa pala nito

I was able to buy one just this summer, during an Astro Glorietta sale. Not discounted though, at 2800 bucks. I was told that was one of the last copies from their supplier. Surprising na meron pa pala.

Do you know if they still have a copy of R3 Alien Quadrilogy at Robinson's Manila? Did you buy it at Astrovision? Thanks in advance?
