Kizza X Nov 2 Excellent documentary See more Valerii Ege D Mar 13 Aliens Expanded is a massive four-hour documentary, perfect for those who love behind-the-scenes stories. And if you're a fan of the film, there's plenty to learn. It’s especially rich in details for anyone aspiring to be a director. See more 09/18/2024 As an Alien fan who loves the movies especially Aliens I honestly expected more to the documentary. At times I felt it to be an appreciation documentary for James Cameron. I've watched bluray special features and YouTube documentaries that unearthed more about the movie. I hoped to see these in the "definitive" documentary but unfortunately not. See more Nick T 08/20/2024 Clearly a labour of love for Ian Nathan, this is a in-depth delve into the best action movie of all time. Interviews with everyone you could wish for, tons of material and a real sense of the love that cast, crew and fans alike all have for this movie. See more Read all reviews
