Especially when at the same time Amazon is listing the individual movies at $27.95 each.  It's a head scratcher.

Just checked my order and they haven't cancelled it or anything.  Hopefully they will still honor it since it's a pre-order and it won't be shipping for another couple weeks.

It should be honored as all the prior pre-orders were dropped in price via the Pre-order Price Guarentee. Looks like Amazon will be doing this for 24 hour spirts. They did the same with both National Treasure titles at $19.95, and they have the two pack cheaper than buying them seperate.

Was anyone else disappointed with the AVPR Blu-ray release?  It was so dark in the Alien and Preditor scenes that there was no detail.

I watched it last night, didn't notice anything like that.  I probably figured that was how it was supposed to be since I didn't see it in the theater.

The dvd and film prints are the same.
Watch the making of's and you'll see that they needed to keep it dark to not show how bad some of the costumes look in direct light.

I actually didn't find any thing wrong with it. Many are talking about black crush, but, I saw none. It was a beautiful picture.

I will admit that I was disappointed with those scenes...though I own the DVD release.  I felt they were far too dark.  But, after watching the making of, I found out that it was intentional.  Bad choice, in my opinion, as it detracted from the film.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

We will teach it to them again.
