Alien Nation - Ultimate Movie Collection

Here are the details--
Dark Horizon is on its own disc. The other four movies are on 2 flipper discs--one movie per side. All the movies have a Ken Johnson commentary track. The first four movies have "Making of" featurettes that are a bit dry, but have some great nuggets. The first four also have gag reels. All the movies have a wide of array of stills in a photo gallery.

The last movie's disc side includes a 25-minute reunion taped at Johnson's home in January 2007. Everyone's there except for Sean Six/Buck. It's amazing! I got a warm feeling just watching! It opens with candid meet and greets and sitting down to a meal. They gather in a circle next, and really start to talk. The actors talk about being cast, about make-up, about the movies, and about the reaction from various ethnic groups, among other things. There are some great behind-the-scenes shots from the original series that I've never seen anywhere else.

Dark Horizon is fine, but man, were they hitting on all four...

FINALLY! AS IF WE HAVEN'T WAITED LONG ENOUGH!
I feel that this was another great foul-up on 20th Fox' part, right up on the level of the demise of Joss Whedon's "Firefly", especially Fox leaving A N fans hanging for five years for the resolution of the end-of season cliff-hanger. As "Firefly" has justified its' popularity with the release and massive success of "Serenity" (over a month in the Top Ten), Alien Nation proved itself through the production of FIVE (count 'em, 5) made-for-TV movies that followed.
1. "Dark Horizon"- 1994
2. "Body and Soul"-1995
3. "The Enemy Within"- 1996
4. "Millennium"-1996
5. "The Udara Legacy"-1997
With the industry wasting production resources on so much other second- & third-rate crapola as fills the store shelves these days, I'm glad SOMEONE in the front office at FOX has taken notice and put forth a little effort so all the "Alien Nation" fans haven't had to wait as long for the TV movies as we had for the series.
As with "Firefly", FOX is missing out on a sure...

If you buy Alien Nation the TV series, you need this too.
When I bought the Alien Nation TV series, I watched all of it, and then wanted to see these movies. The first one directly finishes the last TV episode. If you buy one, you need to buy the other one as well.
