Prometheus to Alien: The Evolution Alien / Aliens / Alien³ / Alien Resurrection / Prometheus

I have to say I am a huge fan of the Alien franchise & this box set is amazing! All the movies look great. Spending the whole weekend going through everything and not stopping was epic.I grew up in the 80's and the Alien movies are something I could not stop watching because I loved the lore behind them. When Prometheus came out I was at odds with it because it was confusing to tie to Alien but now I understand how it can work together with Alien.I believe that in Alien that frist Engineer we see was the cause of everything going Worng in Prometheus, he could of not went along with wiping out humanity let the red become infected but in doing so was also infected and took the ship that we see in LV-426. The "Space Jockey" does not look like he died from a chest burster . He looks like he died like the others in Prometheus the ones you see with holes in their sleep pods.I digress, this box set is really worth getting on Blu Ray. You will not regret getting it. It works great on my Xbox One and my home theater system. You won't be sorry you bought it trust an huge Alien fan.

The first thing I watched was the Making of Prometheus; I spent hours watching the video footage and going thru the included image libraries and embedded optional content. It was literally several hours covering every aspect of the creation of Prometheus from its concept thru final production. The 4 original alien movies came in theatrical versions and subsequent special editions.This is not 5 separate movies thrown together in a fancy case, the entire set of movies are nicely tied together with an Alien "MU-TH-UR" themed movie control and content interface that seamlessly connects the 5 titles along with all featureless and extensive extras and image libraries.This is a "Must Have" for any Alien enthusiast - I am surprised that I have not seen this marketed domestically. It is a top quality product and it played in my inexpensive USA Sony Blu Ray player even though a warning on the product details page says it will not.This appears to be an import from Ireland, all the content is in English and this the Fox logo is on the box - this is a prized addition to my collection.

Didn't arrive quickly, but delivered in estimated delivery time. Ordered 9/30 and received 10/13. So, can't complain, but if you want quickly, this is not the way to go. I did watch two of the blue ray, and quality is exceptional. Watched on my very expensive HD Sony television, have to say WOW! great picture; watched on my inexpensive television just to make sure quality is in the blue ray, picture still looks really great. Each blue ray gave a message at beginning that my dvd needed a card, I bypassed this by hitting "continue" and it played without any issues.

I ordered this at the end of October 2014 from CGMovies and Games as it's an 'Item Under Review' currently from Amazon.Described as Prometheus to Alien: The Evolution Box Set (9-Disc Set) [Blu-ray] including embossed horizontal box, t-shirt, poster, cards, etc.What I got is the 8 disc blu-ray set in a small plastic blu-ray box. Inside the box is a small Alien Anthology guide and an unattatched plastic 4 leaf binder to hold the 8 discs. The physical object is not an impressive one and the loose binder holding the discs is a little shoddy.You do not get any of the swag extras pictured in the above photos. The 9th disc you do not get is the Prometheus 3-D disc.All that said I was not disappointed by the discs themselves. The price was reasonable for all the films and bonus materials which was the incentive for my purchase and I don't have a 3-D television so I didn't care about that disc anyway (although currently it is cheaper to buy the Prometheus Blu-Ray Prometheus (Blu-ray/ DVD + Digital Copy) and the Alien Anthology Blu-Ray set Alien Anthology [Blu-ray] which includes everything in this set for a total of about $35 - and this set has already gone up $10 in the week since I ordered it) . All details about the discs themselves described above and in other reviews (other than the 3D Prometheus) are accurate and they are chock full of extras and docs and look stunning and played perfectly well in my rather old blu-ray player as well as my PS3.Despite not getting all that swag pictured above (and paying an additional $15 - now $25 over buying them as 2 sets) I'm still quite happy with the purchase (though that embossed box would've looked cool on my shelf!); I was more interested in the films and the extras discs which are pretty amazing and will supply many many hours of enjoyment down the alien rabbit hole.Had I paid anywhere near the $200 list price however this would've been sent back as not being what was advertised.

Planned on buying Prometheus only but when I saw this inexpensive package of 5 movies I bought it right away. For the first four movies the package includes the Original Theatrical Release plus an Extended or Special Edition (directors cut for example). For ALIEN, Ridley Scott gives a brief introduction on why he wanted to update the film. I enjoyed all extended versions and plan to watch only them in the future. There are three more discs for EXTRAS, something I always appreciate for things such as Making of the Movie, and commentaries, etc.

US (REGION 1) BUYER BEWARE: This product is only region 2 although the description says all regions. What does this mean? It means that when you attempt to play any of the discs in this set, the disc either will not start, or will pause and skip halfway through viewing, which makes the set useless.I contacted the buyer, and they just told me that they are in compliance with Amazon's policies and they will not give me a refund. Shady. Seems like too good of a deal and it is. What a waste of $30!
