Aliens Expanded

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.

4.5 hours for one of our favourite action science fiction movies is definitely watchable. But I could've used a little bit less of the PC female empowerment or Dr. Drea and her horrible vocal fry, giving us mumbo jumbo rhetoric.

Maybe too much time was given to some of the lesser known characters versus the time that could have been given to the original writers or James Horner.

But Cameron is in control of this one of course. It did have a good dedication to Bill Paxton. Some of the actors look amazing still like Sigourney and the other guys. It's just a shame Jenette Goldstein really let herself go. It was hard to watch her on screen for that length of time.

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.

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.

I am a huge Alien and Aliens fan, Aliens is my favorite ever film, watched at least 50 times and this documentary is an absolutely perfect edition. It's a masterfully crafted documentary that succeeds on every level. It is informative, thought-provoking, and visually captivating, making it a must-watch for anyone interested in Aliens or the broader quest to understand its lore. Ian has created a documentary that not only educates but also inspires, pushing the boundaries of our knowledge into the Aliens universe and takes us beyond the surface into the thoughts and imagination of James Cameron. For its comprehensive approach, credible testimonies, scientific rigor, and stunning visuals, "Aliens Expanded" earns a perfect 10 out of 10.

A MUST WATCH.
