@dawnofthediscs I can't wait to see this movie on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray 👍.
@dawnofthediscs @ProjectAcheron So excited for this!
@dawnofthediscs Not releasing this on 4-26. I'm disappointed.
@dawnofthediscs Why do physical media enthusiasts have to wait an additional three months? That’s ridiculous.
@dawnofthediscs Glad it's finally coming, but that art is horrible.
@dawnofthediscs Has anyone found where to watch Aliens 4k? I thought Dec 12 was the release date but I can't for the life of me find it anywhere.
