Aliens Expanded

Such a superb documentary.

With any doc like this, the worry is always who they'll get and what they'll cover. This is the perfect doc for Aliens. They get all the right people, from SFX through to cast, giving emotional retelling of actual experiences, as well as mentions and stories of cast members past.

The level of detail about the movie itself is so good, with an almost scene by scene breakdown.

I learned so many new things about the film, even though I didn't think there was anything I didn't already know, with some surprising details.

I would recommend this for fans of the alien movies, or just movie fans in general. It's an amazing piece of work and the makers should be very proud.

Mammoth documentary only relevant if you are a movie buff or one of the devoted fans. Being one of them myself, I watched this doc with interest and pleasure. BUT... And is more like a wtf in this case: almost 5 hours and NOTHING about James Horner??? One of the best "thing" that ever happened to this movie. How is that even possible?? Lol

4.5 hours for one of our favourite action science fiction movies is definitely watchable. But I could've used a little bit less of the PC female empowerment or Dr. Drea and her horrible vocal fry, giving us mumbo jumbo rhetoric.

Maybe too much time was given to some of the lesser known characters versus the time that could have been given to the original writers or James Horner.

But Cameron is in control of this one of course. It did have a good dedication to Bill Paxton. Some of the actors look amazing still like Sigourney and the other guys. It's just a shame Jenette Goldstein really let herself go. It was hard to watch her on screen for that length of time.

Aliens Expanded isn't what expected. It's way better! The effort and love put into this excellent documentary is outstanding. To get all the members to work with the creators is a huge success itself. So many unknown stories and memories to hear and watch for the first time. Especially how James Cameron created his version of the Alien universe by keeping a loving eye on Ridley Scott's masterpiece but with the other one pushing his imagined version is brilllant. To imagine that the studio wanted James Cameron to write Ripley out because Sigourney Weaver wanted a salary of one million is ridiculous. Thank god he said No! A real joy to watch it. And I make a guess that Bill Paxton would have loved to be part of it. Now I am looking forward to the next project - The Thing. My two most-favourite movies accompanied by these documentaries...Thank you for that. Never made a better decision backing both projects. Cheers!

I am a huge Alien and Aliens fan, Aliens is my favorite ever film, watched at least 50 times and this documentary is an absolutely perfect edition. It's a masterfully crafted documentary that succeeds on every level. It is informative, thought-provoking, and visually captivating, making it a must-watch for anyone interested in Aliens or the broader quest to understand its lore. Ian has created a documentary that not only educates but also inspires, pushing the boundaries of our knowledge into the Aliens universe and takes us beyond the surface into the thoughts and imagination of James Cameron. For its comprehensive approach, credible testimonies, scientific rigor, and stunning visuals, "Aliens Expanded" earns a perfect 10 out of 10.

A MUST WATCH.
