Aliens Expanded

Aliens Expanded isn't what expected. It's way better! The effort and love put into this excellent documentary is outstanding. To get all the members to work with the creators is a huge success itself. So many unknown stories and memories to hear and watch for the first time. Especially how James Cameron created his version of the Alien universe by keeping a loving eye on Ridley Scott's masterpiece but with the other one pushing his imagined version is brilllant. To imagine that the studio wanted James Cameron to write Ripley out because Sigourney Weaver wanted a salary of one million is ridiculous. Thank god he said No! A real joy to watch it. And I make a guess that Bill Paxton would have loved to be part of it. Now I am looking forward to the next project - The Thing. My two most-favourite movies accompanied by these documentaries...Thank you for that. Never made a better decision backing both projects. Cheers!

Such a superb documentary.

With any doc like this, the worry is always who they'll get and what they'll cover. This is the perfect doc for Aliens. They get all the right people, from SFX through to cast, giving emotional retelling of actual experiences, as well as mentions and stories of cast members past.

The level of detail about the movie itself is so good, with an almost scene by scene breakdown.

I learned so many new things about the film, even though I didn't think there was anything I didn't already know, with some surprising details.

I would recommend this for fans of the alien movies, or just movie fans in general. It's an amazing piece of work and the makers should be very proud.

Mammoth documentary only relevant if you are a movie buff or one of the devoted fans. Being one of them myself, I watched this doc with interest and pleasure. BUT... And is more like a wtf in this case: almost 5 hours and NOTHING about James Horner??? One of the best "thing" that ever happened to this movie. How is that even possible?? Lol

A worthy, detailed documentary on my favourite movie of all time. So much detail and breakdown of individual scenes. Very impressive production featuring a lot of the key stars and crew from the production. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it and will do again, many times. It makes you want to watch the movie again after seeing this to spot all of the details you may have missed previously. I'm so glad this was made as there's no better way to appreciate the grandeur of the Aliens movie. So much detail and effort has been put into this creation and it shows with every scene. Excellent work done by all of those involved in the production.

Like many, Aliens (Director's Edition) is my all time favorite movie. This is such a wonderful documentary, I'm so glad I am one of the sponsors. Almost the whole cast, and James Cameron and Gail Anne Hurd contribute, and the vast amount of behind the scenes info and memories they share is incredible. The only thing that could have made this better would have been if Bill Paxton was still with us. I can't imagine how many hilarious stories and memories he would have been able to add. The run time is over 4 hours, and I have watched it 3 times so far. It's so enjoyable, I have the digital version on my laptop always ready to view.
