Of all the films in the series, the biggest concern with the upcoming "Alien Anthology" Blu-ray set was by far James Cameron's "Aliens", the film I wouldn't call the best ever made but the one I'm proud to call my single favourite film of all time.

Having undergone a re-release in 2003, Ridley Scott's "Alien" got a major restoration job then so its DVD transfer in the best-selling "Alien Quadrilogy" boxset was similarly impressive. Similarly Scott himself has shown strong work with Blu-ray transfers of his catalogue titles like "Kingdom of Heaven," "Black Hawk Down" and "Blade Runner". His involvement in the Blu-ray transfer of "Alien" was a given and thus it comes as no surprise that it'll look great on Blu-ray.

Cameron on the other hand hasn't been so involved in the format, so there was no guarantee of his supervision. "Aliens" was shot on a film type that didn't take off and resulted in a lot of grain and a sickly pale purple lighting motif in various scenes - all of which made it a very soft-looking and muted film visually.

Panic truly set in around July when Fox released the second Blu-ray version of 80's sci-fi action hit "Predator". Slammed for delivering a grainy print the first time around, this new transfer went too extreme the other way - stripping out all the grain and in the process removing much of the fine detail which made many of the faces look waxen.

Hope finally shone forth the other week when Cameron himself revealed in an interview that he'd supervised a remastering of "Aliens" for the Blu-ray release and that the changes and adjustments they made would make it look better than it ever has before, even better than the theatrical release.

Well now the proof has emerged with the first screen caps from the Blu-ray release showing up on AVS Forum and demonstrating a major improvement in color, contrast, fine detail, etc. to the point the film looks almost brand new. Certainly this seems like it will be a reference quality disc in terms of demonstrating how good 80's films can look on the format given the proper time, money and care with a restoration.

Its the internetz man, its a slackers paradise.
If you really want to think Im sitting at home doing screen caps for side by side comparison on material that isnt available to the general public well I cant help ya...

Idiot, plain and simple.

Yup, that means alot coming from you.

Dude, I'm sorry, that's really tacky to copy and past an entire article as if you wrote it yourself.

Yes, that was exactly my intention to perceived as a Blu ray industry insider and be admired by all.

I think Fox should now go back and fix Predator with the Lowry restoration process like they did with Aliens, and then offer an exchange.

I've watched the Ultimate Hunter Edition of Predator 3x now, and I still can't get over how it was released without any of the people responsible being fired.

Read this on the HDD site. Looks like Fox is trying to get rid of their boxed set overstock by breaking them up individually. Correct me if I'm wrong, but these are the exact specs as the boxed set.
