...the movie is an excellent adaptation. It's full of amazing imagery and numerous quotable lines. It works both as a romance and an adventure tale. Highly recommended for all ages.
The one drawback is the limitation for the digital version. It is for iTunes only, which is locked to that system, and for Roku and Amazon Fire users, that makes it difficult to use the streaming version.

While the story is a little weak, the Stars Wars setting makes a good background for the tale. I do wish that there was a little more thought that went into the characters' background, but the movie as a whole, the adventure and the visuals make it worth your time.

Wonderful set with all six Alien films. Since I wasn't concerned with having the AvP movies, this set is the current standard for getting all these movies in one purchase. Also includes digital copies for every film, so there's no need for any additional purchases.

This is a nice set if you just want the blu-ray discs. The only digital version included is Fury Road. If having them digital is important to you and don't need the disc versions, I would purchase differently.
