5 out of 5 stars Buy this with the 4-two disk sets and you have the ultimate.......2004-02-20

Buy this, along with the 4 2 disk Alien movies, and you've made your own VASTLY superior "Quadrilogy". This is far better and more fun to watch than the Quad 9th disk.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic chronology!.......2004-02-19

This is a fabulous sequencing of the movies, giving details on casting, interviews, and set design that no other special dvds have done. It contains material you will not see in the sets or the 9th Legacy disk. The best "extra" disk I have seen...bar none, because it does so in a interesting and well paced manner. A must for true fans.

5 out of 5 stars A must for any fan of the Alien series........2004-02-19

I thoroughly enjoyed this DVD. It chronicles the 4 movies, leaning heavily on the first two movies, but giving enough credit to the 2nd two as well. John Hurt narrates, which is nice to hear a familiar voice. If you buy each movie in the double CE sets, you will get a 2nd disk detailing each movie in depth. These are great, but can get draggy. This Saga instead is quick and interesting...leaving out many of the boring details. I highly recommend this to anyone collecting the CE sets (which are MUCH nicer than the Quadrilogy, by the way)...to finish off their colleciton.

5 out of 5 stars THE BEST ALIEN DOCUMENTARY EVER!!!.......2003-12-21

This is a great behind-the-scenes documentary told by the people who created the Alien films. It's much better than the doc on the Quadrilogy set. John Hurt narrates. Sigourney Weaver gives the definitive interview. All the principals, including Giger, are here. Best of all is the stylish editing and sound design. First rate production and sound. Great bonus extras, too. A great companion to the boxed set. Contains some materials and info not contained in the Alien Quadrilogy. Created by the same people who did "Behind the Planet of the Apes" and lots of other really grat docs. Highly recommended!

2 out of 5 stars Just fodder that's been seen already..........2003-12-20

Sure, it has your garden-variety archival footage and a few nifty interviews sprinkled in but it just lacks an in-depth perspective that dedicated fans would find fulfilling. For instance, the interviews were nothing of substance, just a re-inforcement of what's been said about the films: Álien being óral male rape'for instance or Aliens being a vietnam in space wasn't anything suprising. Worst off is that they don't even have the deleted scene from Aliens where Ripley hands Burke a grenade that I personally haven't seen EVER and I've been a hardcore fan since '86. Granted, if you''ve just seen the aliens movies and aren't a too knowledgeable fan you should find it nice such as Carrie Henn being interviewed in present and Ripley's screen test (She gets topless in one of them), but they're still missing any analysis of Alien 3 scripts and didn't tell anything of how Fincher got tossed from the editing and finalizing of the film. Whatever you do, don't buy it. Instead, get the new Alien Quadrilogy instead and see the saga the way its meant to be.
