Alien 3.

The first one I got to see at the cinema, and it is not as bad as people say.

If you dont analyze the film, then the average viewer can say its a bad film, but if you go in depth into it, the films not a bad addition to the Alien Franchise.

I voted for Alien, still a classic for me and even though its 1 alien, that movie still scared me more than Aliens. Aliens though is a very fun movie, but i love Ridley Scott's 1st attempt. But in terms of reference quality, Alien:Resurrection has to get it, i cant imagine how clean and defined the film will look out of the 3.

And I know it's been said. Repeatedly.

But I will not buy the "Alien Quadrilogy"<sic> until the day that Fox buys a freakin' DICTIONARY!!!!!!!!

(Or even a whole tetralogy of reference books!)

alien gets my vote. so much tension. besides, it would just upset my ocd to have aliens (great movie) on my shelf and not be able to watch alien first.

ALIENS

ALIENS FTW!

In my top 10 of All-Time.

No, its even worse than that. To each his own...but UGGGH, I HATE Alien 3 and 4.

Col. Zombie · 12-09-2009, 12:20 PM

I'm torn between Aliens and Alien 3, but ultimately I would choose Aliens.

VirtualOasis · 12-09-2009, 12:27 PM

I'm a sci-fi junky and ALIENS is my fav. sci-fi film just after Empire Strikes Back. ALIEN 3 was bad with character deaths but Resurrection was WORSE and unfortunately the cycle continued with the AVP and Aliens Vs. Pizzaboy-Reject (what I call AVP-R) just ugh! No more comment needed! Ridley Scott... PLEASE save the franchise with your prequel!

MattQuack · 12-09-2009, 09:15 PM

My vote went to Aliens....would love to see the queen in HD.

Freekman · 12-09-2009, 09:22 PM

The original, mainly because it would be awkward only having the 2nd one on Blu. They're both amazing, though, and deserve a quality Blu release.

greatdevastator · 12-09-2009, 09:41 PM

Alien gets my vote, but Aliens is a very close second.

Hi-Def Steve · 12-09-2009, 10:36 PM

Aliens!

Barnolde · 12-09-2009, 10:37 PM

The first two and only the first two. Just like Terminator.

Gargantua-2 · 12-09-2009, 11:04 PM

It's really kind of impossible for me to pick between the first and second films, as they are both so perfect in their own ways, but I went with ALIEN.

After seeing how flawless Ridley Scott was able to make BLADE RUNNER for blu-ray, thinking about all the raw dark gritty detail in ALIEN in crisp 1080p glory is almost too much to fathom as someone who's been a big fan of the films for for so long.

thePhoenix · 12-09-2009, 11:08 PM

Aliens for sure. Easily the best of the four.

Blukid2 · 12-09-2009, 11:09 PM

Aliens

Moviefan1203 · 12-09-2009, 11:35 PM

Alien, Aliens, and Aliens 3 (Assembly Cut) are all great films, but Alien is certainly the best of the bunch. As far as I am concerned Alien: Resurrection never happened, and you will never find it in my Blu-ray library.

Starbreaker · 12-09-2009, 11:37 PM

I think Alien would look the best. It's already spectacular looking, but with a little cleaning up it could be perfect.

Steve · 12-09-2009, 11:39 PM

I want a box set that includes all four, but the absolute must-have is Aliens, followed closely by Alien.
