The Alien Saga (2002, Movie)

The Alien Saga is an interesting and mostly well done documentary of where the Alien series started and came to be where it is today. It's main focus is definitely on the first film with over half of the documentary on Alien itself, including some interviews with cast members and production team. After Alien, it continues on with Aliens, giving some nice insight into the film, although not nearly to the depth and scope that it covered the first Alien film. However, after its coverage of Aliens, the documentary falls apart as it ties up the last 20 minutes with 'documentaries' on Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection.

But like the quadrilogy, it starts out amazing and fascinating but by the time the film gets to Alien 4, it's hard to still care.
