ALIEN (1979) 4K is good - but, there's still plenty of room for improvement:
* The
Director's Cut was treated abominably. The scenes exclusive to the 2003 / 2010 cut are poor upscales. The CGI enhancements (stars and Derelict Ship opening mist, etc) are missing.
* The rest of the 2003 / 2010 bonus features should have been added (as with the ALIENS 4K release).
* A BD of the new restoration, instead of the old 2010 disc (again, as with the ALIENS 4K release), should have been included.
* Both covers (ALIEN & ALIENS) suck.
* The original production audio track from the ALIEN 1999 DVD is still absent.
The film itself is, thankfully, an upgrade on the 2010 BD and well worth getting.
