Extremely exhausive (well-made) documentary covering the entire process of pre-production to post-production

This massive documentary is very good, almost exhausive, ranking in at 178 minutes, longer than the film ALIEN (1979) itself. It's well-made and overwhelmingly informative at times.

It features many interviews detailing the concept to the production of the film. For ALIEN fans this is a must-see but anyone interested in the history of the film for whatever reason should see it, too.

Overall I've seen better but this is still a great documentary for a classic motion picture.

4.5/5

R.I.P. Jerry Goldsmith
