Fox’s 4k UHD/HDR of Ridley’s Scott’s, now 40 year-old sci-fi magnum opus, is magnificent in every detail.
Color, densities, grain structure, black levels, shadow detail, and last but not least, overall image resolution are so far a step above the old Blu-ray, that not only is there no reason to compare, but this could be one of those rara avis releases that causes video-cinephiles to pull the trigger on that new 4k set-up.
With so many current 4k releases, being nothing more than a new-skew up-rez, Alien is the real deal.
As an aside for those who collect interesting slipcovers, this one is a gorgeously produced affair. Get it in the correct reflective light, and you’ll think that Alien blood is seeping out.
No more need be said.
