my wife and I watched it last weekend...not a bad movie I guess...thought the ending was a little hokey...

Sound quality and video quality on the DVD were both pretty good...watched it the same night I watched Resident Evil 2...

[Ron-P]

A must blind purchase for me.

[mantis]

Yes I'm picking this up as well.

[Airplay355]

polkmaniac, howd u watch the dvd if it isnt released yet? or did i miss something?

[Toxis]

a MUST own for me... saw it in the theater and loved it. :D

[MSkeezer]

I like it. I'll probably be buying this one, too. It should've been longer, though, with better character development. Alien 3 was probably my favorite out of all of them.

neither...

[Airplay355]

im confused :confused:

[AsSiMiLaTeD]

I'm able to get my hands on some DVD releases before they come out becuase of the work I do for a company (that shall not be named here)...

All perfectly legal for me...

[Airplay355]

cool man, shoulda just said that in the beginning

[Toxis]

I was actually reading an article that was saying that sound quality wise, this is up there with LOTR-ROTK. I can't wait to get this on tuesday. I'll also pick up Predator and Predator 2 SE's.

[Tropic-Al]

A DTS-ES version of this (and ALL re-MAKES) would be fabuloso!! Blade 2 was excellent to watch in this format.:D

[PolkThug]

I read that it does have a DTS track on the DVD that will be released. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Oh no!! If that's all on one disc, we'll probably have a crappy bit rate. :(

[Toxis]

it's a 2 disk set... :D

[Demiurge]

Really? Amazon didn't indicate that. Cool.

[polksda]

It's a 1-disc release, not 2.

[Toxis]

That's odd. Last week I was reading how it was coming out in a 2 disk set but picked it up today... only one. Oh well, I never give a damn about the special features unless it frees up more room for better audio/video of the original movie. Anyhow, great movie. Kinda liked the new opening scene.

[Demiurge]

I picked it up last night. Don't know when I'll watch it, but it's nice to hear some good reviews here. That's encouraging.

[MSkeezer]

Is the new beginning all there is to this extended edition? I picked it up last night, but I've only watched the first 15 minutes or so. Was there even any point to the new beginning? We already knew what happened to these people from dialogue in the rest of the movie. If that's it, then I'm very disappointed...

Then I reread the box after I watched it and said Alternate Beginning. RETARDED! Oh well, good flick and great SQ.

[PolkThug]

Sweet movie, if you were a fan of the original Alien and Predator movies, then you will like it.

The last 10 seconds of the alternate beginning is going in my demo. I thought my room was going to blow up from the "Bass Slap". I turned the Oink down a couple notches after that.

PQ is pretty good. DTS track was dynamic (as usual). There were some more good bass hits but I don't want to give too much away yet.

Regards,
PT

[Demiurge]

Well...The acting in this movie was deplorable. Not sure how I feel about the rest of it and I'm a fan of both series. SQ and PQ were good though.

[dorokusai]

I certainly wasn't expecting it to be in Oscar contention, but it was enjoyable. I just buy, no renting here, and at least it's not worthy of a yard burning.

[landry_p2000]

Good PQ and SQ. Put the old PSW505 through the ringer!:D
