About this movie:
  • Director: James Cameron
  • Summary: 57 years after Ellen Ripley had a close encounter with the reptilian alien creature from the first movie, she is called back, this time, to help a group of highly trained colonial marines fight off against the sinister extraterrestrials. But this time, the aliens have taken over a space colony on the moon LV-426. When the colonial marines are called upon to search the deserted space colony, they later find out that they are up against more than what they bargained for. Using specially modified machine guns and enough firepower, it's either fight or die as the space marines battle against the aliens. As the Marines do their best to defend themselves, Ripley must attempt to protect a young girl who is the sole survivor of the nearly wiped out space colony.

Back in the day, had the $150 deluxe laserdisc Constant Angular Velocity version; each side was under 30 minutes and had to flip/change disks every time it ended. It was absolutely the best laserdisc we owned.

Amazing that for $5 we now have a MUCH higher quality and I no longer have to flip laser discs!

I can confirm with Vudu you do get both versions, but the Special Edition is under Extras, not as a separate movie.

I hope they do a better job on the transfer on this than they did on Alien.
One that I was hoping to upgrade to!
At least this one looks to be getting an audio upgrade, thats a plus!

Quote from fewlio :
Titanic movie is greatest Hollywood tragedy of all time Frown

Greatest filmmaker of all time, but Cameron got so rich and lazy, never made another good movie after Mad Frown Frown Frown
The transfer on Titanic is outstanding!
One of the few movies that has a reference transfer in both PQ & AQ imo.
It is a must-have on disc especially if you have at least a decent setup!

Clicking on the link above will take you to Vudu. Only the Theatrical version is available. There is also no indication on Vudu that it is MA compatible.

If you go to MA directly, the Special Edition version is only available in HD.

Strange I believe I bought this on iTunes previously and only shows HD on Vudu, but 4K on Apple. Sigh, is this horseshit we're already seeing thanks to the name change?

I can't speak to iTunes. I purchased on Vudu, as referenced in the post I was replying to.

When I purchased both, the extended editions were both in HDX for at least a couple weeks. When I checked this morning, both of them show under special features still, but play in 4K

This is the greatest action movie of all time.

Every scene from the medic bay onward is the greatest action scene of all time, with each scene getting subsequently better until your head explodes in the end.

The VUDU bonus Special Edition is only HDX. Still worth it to me for the $5 upgrade of the theatrical version.

No the greatest by most people standards is a little film called die hard.
Have you never seen Ernest Goes to Camp? That's the GOAT by a mile.

I upgraded the HD version to 4K via iTunes a month ago. The special edition played in HD, across-the-board. This morning I checked, and and in Vudu, the special edition, is playing in 4K. However, the special edition is still playing in HD on iTunes and movies anywhere.

I refuse to watch this streaming, the banding on the dark scenes (basically the whole film) will be horrible. Watch on physical media, for sure. I can wait 2 weeks.

What's even wilder is the Aliens Blu-ray looks superior to the 4k transfer so id wait until the 4k releases

Holy cow awesome. I've been waiting so long to get Aliens for $5ish. Never seemed to go on sale. Thanks OP. Now can you find me Terminator 1 & 2 - 4K for $5?
