Book Review: The Alien Archive

I recently purchased a tomb of Alien info called the Alien Archive. This books covers all four movies and is a wealth of Alien concept art used and unused, set photos, insider info and interviews.
The opening chapter is an interview with Sigourney Weaver on how working on these movies and playing Ripley had a prefound effect on her life.
Later sections show case the amazing work of Ron Cobb and Syd Mead and their wonderful concpets for Alien and Aliens.
You get a look at the unused idea's for Vincent Ward's Bosch like wooden planet and idea for what the Runner alien may have looked like. Hell even the Alien Resurrection stuff is wicked to look at. The concept art and design was wicked.
The down side is there very little written about the movies but a whole lot of wicked photos and art work do make up the bulk of this beast. Good thing or bad thing.....I'll leave that up to you.

Not lying this book was steep setting me back €45 but if your an hardcore Alien fan like myself you should own a copy of this book.
