Aliens [Blu-ray] [1986]

Perfect organism.

Such a brilliant film Aliens, both the original 1986 version and the extended 1991 version here revel fantastic picture quality on blue ray.

I think sometimes the good clarity of Blu-ray can cause the original film footage to lose it's magic/colour. Blu-rays also often tend to look a bit too zoomed up at times in my opinion.

Great sequel to the original but much better (in my opinion) and now on Blu ray in HD.Recommended 👍 Purchase

Got the DVD with the two versions - the first cinema outing and the longer one with the turret guns, so I wasn't at first going to bother 'upgrading' to Blu Ray, something I had always said I would not do. Good God, I had this on VHS once!Anyway just a few scenes were enough to demonstrate that even a film of this age could be revamped on Blu Ray. The scene with Gorman monitoring the marines from the transport as they battle the aliens has some close ups of the actor (William Hope) and it is staggering the amount of detail right down to the sweat dripping off his face.Great sound, good pounding bass to Horner's soundtrack. Perfect 'version' of this film for the nerd like me.Pointless reviewing the film, you like it or hate it: To me it was a better 'ride' than the first and tragically followed by two that seem more dictated by Weaver and some poorly chosen directors. Ridley Scott and Cameron will always have made the best Alien movies and it's probably better to ignore the others.Interesting to Google the actress that played 'Newt' - she made this film and nothing else, and is now a teacher in the US, although she sometimes goes along to conventions.

Great addition to my collection.

Nice packaged release of the “Aliens” movie with both theatrical and extended versions included.

This is how a blu-ray disk of a movie should look like!Got both the Theatrical and the Extended Edition of the movie, 3 different quality english dubs, four foreign language dubs, a commentary by the director and members of the production team, got separate deleted scenes as well of course.

Le premier Alien jouait à fond la carte de l'angoisse et des scènes chocs devant une créature presque indestructible, une arme parfaite. Ce deuxième épisode sans être vraiment inférieur au précédent est différent dans sa démarche, moins de pression et de sentiments de malaise et plus d'action. Evidemment on peut s'interroger à voir le nombre d'Aliens dégommés aussi facilement alors que dans le premier film, l'héroïne avait eu tant de mal à se débarrasser d'un seul. Si on fait abstraction du premier opus, cet épisode s'avère séduisant et on ne s'ennuie guère aux sons des pétarades et des Aliens qui succombent (des humains aussi, je vous rassure).

DVD was fine, but due to the entire case being shipped in a "soft package" the DVD case was damaged.

Boîtier cassé.
