I paid $15 CAD a piece for the amaray's with slips last year at walmart. so 19.99 GBP sounds pretty good!

 

[sutti69]

Any idea what the price for this one will be?

Says in the OP 19.99 BGP

I know DB is gonna give me hell for this, lol, but I haven't seen any of the 4 movies... Im wondering if I will like them and if this is worth a blind a buy ?

Hmmm.... I mean the directors on the first three are pretty damn impressive... Ridley Scott, James Cameron and David Fincher....

 

[Lone Crusader]

Oh man Steel, are you in for a treat. These movies are bad-ass!

 

[mllNY]

IS this region B or Region free?

 

[digitalbabe]

ML-the Alien Anthology in the regular Amaray box for the UK was region free, so I am assuming these are, too. Won't know for sure until someone receives though...

Steel-no, I won't...nonsense....there are always films any one of us has not seen yet. If you're not sure, just rent them first, then decide. Good luck!

The UK amaray anthology is region free, so I would think this would be too, but it's a different release, so can't go by that 100%.

^^^ I think I might just watch them first and see if I like them. I mean the first one was released in 1979, lol, 8 years before I was even born. They must have been awesome movies though for their time as all I ever hear are rave reviews. Apparently the 4th one wasn't that great ?

Either way... 20GBP for 4 blu's in a steelbook thats pretty cheap.

Hey Steel-yeah, don't let the year 'Alien' was released scare you. Ridley Scott and all involved achieved an amazing look and anxiety level for that 1st film, and it continues to be modeled by other sci-fi and horror flicks that came way after. For me, I loved 'Alien' and 'Aliens'. Alien 3 looked amazing (I just loved the style in which it was shot...very 'cinematic' , but was a disaster on several levels. # 4 was my least favorite, though it was funny to see the 'heroine' resurrected in the matter they chose. I always think it's best to try to appreciate film history (and I was 3 when 'Alien' was released), so I saw it way after, too. And...you can always trade the Steelbook if you don't like it. Or, just rent the movies first, if you're concerned. Tastes vary widely...don't be afraid to try something new-all film today is the result of masters like Scott, Cameron, and all amazing directors of today and years past, imo.

 

[tono06]

wow! i'm speechless for the very first time...this is indeed the best wave ever ALIEN in steelbook

 

[Wreck]

Metal case thingy? Do you mean like the case for CA UP, DE Jurassic Park, CA Monsters Inc. etc?

Yeah I was just joking by saying Metal thingy

cool. thanks for the reply. No doubt about it those three directors have heavily influenced way films are made today in this genre. I will get this anthology and check it out.

Cant wait for Prometheus this summer too.
