Blu-ray Deal of the Week: Alien Anthology (Expired)

Through June 11th, 2011, Amazon is offering a very special Blu-ray Gold Box deal: the Home Media Magazine Award-winning Alien Anthology boxset. Fox Home Entertainment's Blu-ray version of the iconic horror/sci-fi film series, the Alien Anthology stars Sigourney Weaver (Galaxy Quest) as Ellen Ripley, a woman whose life is forever changed when she comes into contact with a vicious alien species.

This 6-disc Blu-ray collection is one of the most comprehensive home video packages ever released. Fox has provided multiple versions of each of the four films in the Alien series (Alien, Aliens, Alien³, Alien: Resurrection) as well as hours of behind-the-scenes and promotional materials, many of which are only available in this Blu-ray bundle. Most notably, the set includes the controversial Wreckage and Rage documentary in its unedited format; Wreckage and Rage is one of the great behind-the-scenes exposés, telling the full story of Alien 3's struggle to theaters, including never-before-seen anecdotes from cast and crew detailing the creative differences between Twentieth Century Fox and director David Fincher (The Social Network) that compromised many elements of the film.

For this week only, Amazon's Deal of the Week price for the Alien Anthology is its lowest ever - $52.99, or roughly $13.25 per movie.
