I have now seen the Blu-ray of Alien, and I agree that it looks somewhere between the two previous DVD transfers, which seems like a good place for it to be. ImperialFighter, I would recommend that you at least rent the Alien BD. You might be pleasantly surprised.
If that's right Chewtobacca, then I'm certainly pleased that the colouration of the Blu-ray isn't as much of a departure from the early DVD colour as the 'Quadrilogy' release colour was.
So I take it you've compared both the pre-'Quadrilogy' DVD version and 'Quadrilogy' DVD version against your Blu-ray version on the same equipment/settings to make this judgement then?
As I thought the 'Anthology' Blu-ray looked suspiciously very close to the 'Quadrilogy'-tampering due to the few screenshot comparisons I've seen...I guess I should now try to do the same actual comparison at some point (with a borrowed/rented 'Anthology' BD for now), as I'm certainly interested to see which version I then reckon it's closer to.
