Amazing Documentary for an Amazing movie.

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.

Pretty good.

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.

We're in the pipe, five by five!

I have never seen such a detailed documentary of a movie. This is a perfectly fitting tribute to a SF masterpiece. The fact that it was made four decades after the film itself speaks volumes for what an achievement Aliens was. Someone could argue that it is not objective and fair to give such a high rating to a documentary with a modest budget and a professionally routine production, but that is not the point - the point is in the energy that is recognized by fans of the genre, the point is to pay a well-deserved tribute to the Aliens as a SF movie that has become a cult and will be an eternal classic. With its magical influence it has shaped the entire domain of sci-fi creation up until today, and I believe in the future as well. Also, I give it a high rating because this documentary was created out of enthusiasm and not as a commercial project motivated by profit, this is the product of pure love of film enthusiasts and nerds - and as such has a special value. Aliens was a perfect adventure, and with Aliens Expanded I lived it once again, thank you so much!
