[JohnG]

That's not the version I was asking about !

If anyone is wanting to buy the quadrilogy!!! er nine disc set, its available at the moment, or was the last time I was there at hmv at £39:99.

I have the Box set (US) and it is worth geting. And a proper digital amp and speekers too!

Each movie comes on 2 disks. So its 9 in total with a bonus disk.
Some films have a DTS mix some dont.
But thats not whats good about them.

Forget the technichal specs.

Each movie disk has 2 versions of the film on it.

The original theatrical version and the "directors cut"

I was well shocked to see how different the dirsctors cuts were from the theatrical versions. I felt lik I had been ripped of when i went to the theaters all those years ago!

Yes the films are THAT diferent.
Especialy Alien 3. (OMG is Alien 3 diferent!!!)

It has a whole new scenes in it (and all the other movies too) that they couldnt show due to time constraints.

And even the origins of the single Alien in the 3rd movie is different (where it bursts from) its not the dog we all saw in the theatrical version!

Anyway, I dont want to give it away, but just for that its worth geting these movies again.
Buy them separately or as the box set, but make sure you get them if you love the Alines franchise!

The question asked was is the pic quality different from the original releases on DVD and i would say it is, but i might surprise some people by stating that i feel shadow detail has been lost in the new quadrilogy pack, other aspects of the transfer are better but shadow detail has been lost, thats detail seen within very dark scenes.

The DVD format has its problems, wait for an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray re-release if u want imrovement on picture quality, or get a better DVD Player, theres always a better one out there.

Im more concerend with the contents of the DVDs and well in this case i think the box set is well worth the purchase.
