In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

This doc deals with the creation of the original 1979 film. I geeked out over the obscure items included in this documentary, including glimpses of a few cut scenes and unused footage that I've never seen appear in any previous presentation. There have been numerous documentaries about "ALIEN" and the franchise, and this one focuses primarily on the production and direction of the film. There is only one brief moment with Sigourney Weaver, and the rest of the discussion is mainly with Ridley Scott, Walter Hill, Dan O'Bannon and others. Some of the more interesting comments come from H.R. Giger himself, who seems both grateful and bitter about his association with the "ALIEN" films.

I bought the Alien Legacy five video pack which included all the Alien films; Alien, Aliens - Special Edition, Alien 3, and Alien Ressurrection. The pack also included the documentary The Alien Legacy. It's a real treat for Alien fans and goes deep into the making of the original Alien. Has interviews and deleted scenes.

This extremely fascinating, long, and entertaining look at the making of Alien tells a great story on how two "Zeros" became "Heroes". Check it out its fun!
