Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ridley Scott created an all time classic Horror-Sci Fi film with Alien. A group of space shippers gets a signal from a baren planet and go to investigate only to get a face hugger stuck to John Hurt. There’s nothing more iconic than seeing the egg and the face hugger for the first time. Nothing like that had been seen before and it shocked audiences the first time people saw it. The story actually revolves around a company hoping to exploit the alien. This would be copied in subsequent Alien films and played upon the Frankenstein theme that messing with nature can only go wrong. Alien is one of those must see movies. The mood it set. The imagery it created and more are unforgettable.

I was excited to find out that this classic was getting a 40th anniversary release. Some people aren't fond of the way this steelbook looks. I am not one of them. I think it's gorgeous!

This movie is always worth a watch, and now to have it in 4K is excellent. This is the best it’s ever looked, and looks like it was filmed last year. Great picture quality! Slip cover looks awesome also.

40 year old classic. This was cutting edge stuff back in the day. If this type of film is in your wheelhouse, you won't be disappointed.

It’s amazing on 4K and i got it on sale and shipping was fast and the package wasn’t damaged

One of my all time favorites! A must have for your collection!

Amazing steelbook art for an amazing film. I hope Aliens gets the same treatment for its 40th.

To begin, the review score is based solely upon THIS version of the blu ray. It's important to note that while the review shows up for the blu ray version of Alien, (because it IS) it is NOT what was promoted. If you're looking for a blu ray version of Alien, of course, it's recommended, but as it was promoted- both in the ad and on floor displays- a "collector's art edition", it feels lazily put together. (attempting to place an image with this review). As a HUGE Alien fan, seeing a "Collector's Art Edition" of Alien on blu ray at $7.99, I was excited to add this to my collection of Alien/ Aliens movies and memorabilia. (Also grabbed the Predator blu ray- another movie I'm crazy about). The fact is, both art pieces offered are actually pretty cool, and at $7.99, I didn't expect anything extra beyond the art- but in both cases, while the art was simply printed on a thin piece of cardboard, given a touch of stickem in the center, then applied to the respective movies. The stickem itself wasn't even enough to hold it to the blu ray case. The cardboard the art was printed on was too big to either slide inside the wrap around the case, or be inserted within the blu ray case to take the place of the basic "regular" art of the standard blu ray within. So, was left with a piece of cardboard with beautiful art that wasn't in any way attached to the blu ray case whatsoever, or able to be inserted into the case. Ended up having to use a dab of super glue on each corner of the art and apply it myself- which, unfortunately, gives a stain through the white part of the cardboard (in Alien's case, the entire art is white). Now, as a reference point to this, Fox released a Collector's Edition art variant of Alien exclusive to Comic-Con 2014, along with a small handful set aside for online ordering- a version I eagerly grabbed up, at only $20. (Included a limited edition (of #500) 11"X17" wall art of that blu ray cover, as well). In that case, the CE Variant was a completely new wrap/ insert for the blu ray case. For some, if you're looking for Alien on blu ray, this is wonderful. You can, if you don't care about the variant cover being on a piece of cardboard that's not going to stay attached to the case- there's no reason not to own this. But, if you're like me, (and, probably who this art variant was geared towards,) you need to be aware of this before purchasing. Perhaps consider framing the cardboard art or hanging it on a wall, but if you want it to remain a part of the actual blu ray, you're going to have to do some work on your own- and find something other than glue- as I said, it left a discoloration through the cardboard- it's not atrocious, but it was upsetting that this wasn't taken care of on the production of this to begin with- and it was encountered on both movies I purchased with the art variant. Note: Alien DOES include a digital HD version to add to your cloud movies- Predator does not, so there was a little extra value in the Alien blu ray.

Great movie. Debatable whether the sequel is better. The 4K transfer is stunning. Never looked better. Now let’s just get Aliens on 4 Blu Ray and we’re good. Did not come in a slip cover which was disappointing.

One of the greatest sci-fi movies ever made looks even better now in 4K, definitely an upgrade from the Blu-ray,

Of course you have to get this. This is the best of the best. A standard in any collection. Now need the Aliens 2 special edition.

What more can be said about one of the most influential horror films of ALL TIME? Its great and the 4K is sick!

Alien is a classic film, I highly recommend this edition to any sci-fi fan. It included Blue Ray, booklet, and pictures of the Aliens. It is one of Twentieth Century Fox's greatest films.

what an excellent film!!!! Ridley Scott's Best. Watch the Directors cut too!!!!!

Excelente Movie old version but amazing to watch with the family

This is the best Alien cut (first movie) that has been released yet! Cover is awesome and so is the comic and extras! A must buy!

The description is wrong and misleading it’s only the first video and not the seven videos the picture says it is

I received my movie from curbside pick up which I love cause of how things are with the virus. But I peeled the pickup sticker off an it removed a lot of the art work on my slip cover an as someone who loves slip covers on my movies this was just a let down maybe in the future they can put the sticker on the movie itself!

Best Buy curbside stuck the order sticker directly onto the slipcover and when removed, tore half the back info off. If having the slipcover in good condition matters to you, I would not use their COVID safety measures of curbside to avoid this issue.

This is an amazing 4k movie presentation of one of the classic horror movies that started the genre. The image quality. The sound is just amazing on your surround sound system. It comes with a lot of extras. Behind the scenes, so it was well worth the money.
