I like how many different names the sets have had (Saga, Quadrilogy, Anthology). And that the newest one makes the most sense, with "quadrilogy" not even close to being a real word.

Saga? I know the '99 release was "Alien Legacy."

Thanks, for the screen-caps dark_jedi, I wanted to see them mostly to have it re-confirmed that it was a tweak so what I did remember wasn't wrong, IMDB have been wrong before and it's been a long time since I saw the DC. Yes, those tweaks are kinda nice, the starfield for the second pic looks a bit weird though...I'm drooling over the detail in those images!

ImperialFighter, don't think you're alone in noticing the shift in color-timing, the net is full of forums discussing this same topic at the moment. Me myself have never had the fortune to see this masterpiece in it's original form in the cinema, so I really can't tell what is right or wrong and I doubt anyone of us can but imo. and that's what all this comes down to, it doesn't look like the Alien I know, from the moment I saw screen caps from the Directors Cut DVD in '03 I thought it looked unnatural even though it's a subtle shift in hue, you don't need a bulldozer-George Lucas change or Bladerunner - Final cut change in color to find it distracting if you are attached to a certain look in a film. Subtleties in colors sets a mood.

Well, maybe it's all nitpicking, all three releases are after all damn fine releases with a video standard that all of us would be very happy to have of a certain other set of movies. ;) To me the '99 DVD will be fine until I go HD and waiting isn't a problem d_j, that is something that we Star Wars fans are experts on. :)
