Synopsis

The Alien films are now in movie folklore. Following Lt. Ellen Ripley's battle against a chest-bursting lethal alien menace across almost 300 years, with Ripley being eventually cloned after her death at the end of the third film.

The package is a superb one, with a certificate giving your unique box-set number, and a bonus "Making Of Alien Legacy" DVD. I was initially concerned that this DVD was missing from the pack as only 4 cases are present in the box, but it turns out that the disc is on a nasty flap in the first case which slightly ruins the classy feel of the box-set. A bit of a shame, but by no means a problem as such.
