Aliens: 30th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray Review

In the world of cinematic sequels, there are only a few that either equaled or surpassed their original films: The Godfather Part II, The Empire Strikes Back, Toy Story 2 are among the chosen few and added to that list must be James Cameron’s Aliens.

A nice review, but it should be said that Ridley does not appear in the film.

So the only new feature is just available at Fox's site? To Fox's credit, they did a GREAT job with the disc first time around.

It just goes to show that no matter how many times you proofread something, there's always one little thing or another that will get past you. Thanks for the correction.

Well its not like they could have bettered the old disc. It was already a 4K transfer and the extras on Discs 5 and 6 were plentiful.

Wal*Mart had this for $9.96 which indicates it may be a price match

So it's not clear to me, is this the same or a different/better transfer than the existing BD?

It's the exact same disc that was previously released, along with new packaging and a coupon code to stream a new bonus feature online.

If I read correct, this is the same disc with Tschokes ...

Aliens in this new edition is the same disc that was part of the previous Alien boxset (the disc even includes the BD-Live link which is now inactive, no great loss). Unless one wants the new concept art booklet and cards and the on-line featurette, there is no difference between this version of this great film and the previous release. - See more at: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/aliens-30th-anniversary-edition
