dir. Ridley Scott
The 40th Anniversary Edition from 20th Century is the best release for the 1979 original, and it earns the S-Tier on transfer alone. The franchise's 4K story is messier than it looks once you move past the first film. Aliens (1986) shipped with Cameron's degrained, regraded master, which split the fanbase down the middle and sent grain purists back to the older Blu-ray. The recent Romulus steelbook from Vice Press has been the main franchise focus on the new-release side.
