Editor's Notes

Note

C-Tier from 20th Century Studios, which is a sore spot for a film this good. The 4K exists and people buy it, but the conversation is always about when someone will do a proper restoration. Cameron in 4K should look better than this.

Which Blu-Ray should I get of Aliens? 46 | ALIENS. James Cameron, 1986. | . The perfect movie doesn’t exist… Oh wait.. Yes, it does. A short trip to LV-426. . . 2,917 ♥ 52 Aliens (1986) is coming to 4K UHD from Disney/20th Century 222 Well someone made a post challenging someone to post a screenshot of the Aliens blu-ray next to the 4k...so I figured...why not?
