Editor's Notes

Note

The transfer finally gets the color timing right after years of home video versions that never matched the theatrical. Looks really good on an OLED. The Aliens 4K got hit with AI upscaling controversy, but the original Alien's transfer is clean. The Filmarena steelbook is the collector's item if you can find one, otherwise the standard 4K is the same disc.
