Most realistic portrayal of a cat in a film goes to Jones. Only turns up for meals, ignores humans when they really need him to listen and calmly watches humans dying from his safe place.
There is a fun little book someone published that is a picture book story of Jones's experience.
It's pretty cute and funny , and of course as a cat he is mostly nonchalant throughout. 😸
That's why dogs are so much better
@John B a dog saved my uncles life on 2 occasions when he had cardiac arrest while walking him and a dog stopped my granddad from being mugged not long after he had a stent fitted because of his lung cancer. If all dogs and cats where put into the wild dogs would survive much much better. They're stronger, smarter and much more loyal. Cats are a novelty, basically the same as having rats or a bearded dragon as a pet. Useless, just nice to stroke and cuddle with.
@@itadapeeza8559 Nothing wrong with cats, but i prefer dogs because their loyalty to their humans is second to none.
@@bystandah9626 I like cats too
Best review of this film ever: "Alien is a film where nobody listens to the smart lady. Then they all die, except for the smart lady and her cat. Four stars".
"I ain't volunteering for shit"... Devin your veteran experience is showing
Get that bank first.
If you are good at something, don't do it for free.
😆👍
note to self: do NOT explore unknown systems without proper protective equipment
note to self: do NOT let infected crew members back into the ship
note to self: isolate everyone in contact with infected crew member
note to self: make sure to examine blood specimen of every crew member prior to launch to make sure all crew members are human, not cyborg or other
ah, the heck with it...note to self: just stay on Earth and do NOT explore space
Check everyone of those. Staying on earth!
even equipped with BFG of DOOM I wouldn't, I don't trust my reflex or bravery to face such creature.
it might be even worse like a expedition in a planet with a deadly incurable disease that makes you vomit and crap until you die man!
Hope you watch part 2!! Part 1 is suspense. Part 2 is action. Both are great
I think he'll like Aliens alot since there's alot of action and the military kick 🙂
Definitely this! Inarguably one of the best sequels ever
Hell yeah. My favorite movie of all time.
@@TheHulk2008 yeah, Aliens is one of the few movies that is better than the original
@@callapratt7927 absolutely. This and Terminator 2
The genius of this movie is that the Alien is only on screen a total of 4 minutes.
Every good horror movie never shows the baddie, your mind can scare you more than any one else can.
Like Vader
@Big Chap I read that Spielberg was forced to not show the shark for most of the movie because the damn thing kept sinking.
But seeing those buoys pop up, knowing that big ass shark is still attached to it, was super.
For the scene where the shark wrecks the shark cage, they used actual sharks but a miniature cage.
@@AudieHolland When Spielberg was first approached about directing, his stipulation was that the shark not be onscreen for the first hour of the movie. They also had huge problems getting their mechanical shark working, but not seeing the shark was entirely deliberate.
You should check out Europa Report. It’s a similar type movie in that aspect. It’s a slower pace movie, but real good. It’s an independent sci-fi space film from about 20015, I think. Check it out.
Ripley and Parker. If either of them been in charge these would have been a much shorter movie.
Alien (part 1) is a haunted house. Aliens (part 2) is a roller coaster. Both are absolutely superb.
I recommend him not to watch alien 3 and the others though 😂
The best part of 3 is Bishop.. 4 is.... Hmmm... The end credits?
And instead of watching Prometheus I would reccomend the fan edited version of them both called "Paradise"
@@Damalatorian 3 would be actually pretty good if they didn't kill nute and hix and that's just something I can't forget
Aliens is not part 2, is another whole universe and story. Still a kick ass action movie.
@@digi_edits Not true. Aliens is part 2 and takes place 57 years after Alien on the same planet, LV-426. Ripley is horrified that the company sent colonizers there. I think you might be thinking of one of the later movies in the franchise like Prometheus.
When you rewatch the movie you can see the subtlety in ash (the robot), and how he let the organism get on board. Such an awsome movie.
A friend of mine's older brother let us watch Alien with him when we were in the second grade. The chestbuster scene is the first thing I remember seeing in a movie that scared the absolute hell out of me.
Heh you watching the classics at a young age too? Saw Aliens in 2nd grade.
You can laugh but at 7 year old i watched Gremlims. That give me sleepless nights as a kid, til at 9 year old I watched Children of the Corn.
I love how these guys aren't really phased by being in space. It's just routine. It's a job. And even dozens of light years from home, corporate bureaucracy and labor disputes are the first thing that Captain Dallas is dealing with right after waking up.
Great review. And can we just take a minute to talk about Veronica Cartwright's (Lambert) acting? She acted like one would really act in real life. Superb.
One of the most blood curdling screams of all time, too
She was in the film the Birds...Alfred Hitchcock
They didn't know the chest bursting scene was coming
@@brandonboyle8159 She was?! Wow.
I agree with you 100%. The angst and tension that she portrayed really added so much to the movie.
"You in space and something go down, who you gonna call?" Funnily enough, the tag line for this movie was "In space, nobody can hear you scream"
It has been used and ridiculed as a tag line in soo many movies, it is an iconic line.
"You lock me up I'll beat the fu-------- What's going on here??? DAMNNNN!!!!"
*Best reaction to Ash being a robot EVER!*
for the year this was made, it still holds up very well today and is full of suspense! 2nd one is just as good but with more action
You know you're in trouble when the smartest one in the whole place is the cat !! haha
Yes. It was a setup made by the Corporation that they were working for. The Corporation wanted to go get the alien specimen, so, along with sending the robot among the crew, also programed the ship main computer (mother) to make that stop at the planet.
They also rigged the contracts so if the crew had valued their lives more, they would have lost their shares if they didn’t investigate. All in the name of making a space buck.
Ash being a robot was an all time great twist.

@@raputathebutaok you outside dueling pistols or swords 😂😂😂
As a kid the scariest thing to me was the self destruct button! The Computer lady counting down 5 minutes with all the steam & lights going off!
And you know you have to get to the escape pod ASAP or your dead!
Bruh! As good as this review is, I can't wait for you to see the sequel: Aliens. You'll love the Space Marines!
Colonial Marines. :) Space Marines are a whole different story.
I’m really not a fan of the sequel Aliens, but most people are, and i think he’ll probably enjoy it more. It’s more action-y and light hearted. I always forget how scary Alien is!
Colonial Marines are Measly Soldiers who simply Pale in comparison to Astartes.
@@NoelleMar u are one in a billion saying u dont really like aliens wats there not to love, I understand it's not as suspenseful as alien but that's wat people love about aliens, it just feels that ur getting revenge from the first alien and also it's just a great story to get invested in but then after aliens the franchise went to shit
@@JnEricsonx Doesn't matter. By the end of the movie, there are only the dead, and survivors.
Awesome, Alien is a masterpiece. Aliens is also a great movie. I'd advise skipping the rest.
I would still watch (the extended directors cut, which adds a whole lot more character to the prisoners) Alien 3. It isn't as perfect as the first two, but it has a really cool sombre tone and Weaver's acting is top notch.
@@stobe187 Her acting alone is worth watching Alien 3 imo
'I'd a bin left!' haha, just spat out a piece of kiwi fruit.
'Jonesy watching you get fucked up!' Brilliant.
Considering at which point in time this movie was made, i still would consider it one of the all time greatest made action/ sci fi / horror movie.
Even the special effects are insanely well made for its time.
And u really get jumpy at points in the movie, how many modern day horror movies get u jumpy?
They are mostly laughable or comedic.
The movie plays really well into the fear of the unknown in human psychology.
there are no guns on the Nostromo its a commercial towing vessel
Now that you've seen Alien, you gotta so Aliens. Very different movie but just as good.
BTW, your reaction to the belly buster was classic. 😂😂😂
“I Think We Should Talk About The Bonus Situation!”
-“Right.”
And the moral of the tale is: Always listen to Ripley!
Glad you enjoyed the movie! I hope you watch the sequel, "Aliens," because I think you'll really dig it too 😊 ... and another movie I might recommend is "Deep Blue Sea" from 1999. It's a lot of fun, and I don't think I've seen anyone else do a reaction to it yet!
Always listen to Parker and Brett
Strong Female character DONE RIGHT. Unlike Captain Toxic Resting bitch face
Ripley is the best… such an intelligent strong woman! ❤️
“All this shit could have been avoided.” -Everybody watching every horror movie probably. Great review! Look forward to you watching the rest of the series.
If you watch Aliens, ensure you watch the Special Edition. There are important character moments in it that were not included in the theatrical cut.
and also has the extended gun scene which is great IMO
@@AbsoluteApril Yeah, that sequence is tense and further helps to establish the aliens as a threat.
I want a version that just has that one early scene added and nothing else. It adds meaning. But some of the extra stuff, like seeing the colony before Ripley and the Marines, I don’t like.
I personally don’t like the extended version. I feel it slows the movie down. The one moment we learn about Ripley’s daughter added nothing to her relationship to Newt, in my humble opinion. My advice is if you want more, see it after you see the movie for a little extra . The theatrical version is best.
@@Huntress59 ik they made a game of Ripley's daughter but the ending for that game was pretty bad and made that story bad, I'm saying this because aliens the directors cut or extended cut set up Ripley's daughter having some sort of a bigger part for Ripley in the next film but all we got was all the characters from aliens dying in the most stupid way and having a cgi fest all movie and being stuck with shit character's throughout the entire film
*Devin, you would have played the character of Parker perfectly! LOL*
Fun fact: the character of Parker is a former Colonial Marine according to the lore....
“I Think We Should Talk About The Bonus Situation! I Think We Deserve Full Shares!!”-Devin G
@@KronnangDunn Another fact is That Yaphet pulled his kids out of Columbine High School because he didn't like how the school was run and handling situations right after that the horrific shooting took place. Yaphet Kotto recently passed away on March 15h 2021. He was 81.
@@KronnangDunn Another fun fact is the reactions of the cast at the chest-bursting scene were genuine reactions as they did not know what was exactly going to happen.
@@Sebastian__. Oh No! Now we have lost him too! Yaphet Kotto and John Hurt gone. :(
Ripley was the first female badass in SYFY
Spaceballs better be next. "Hello my darling, hello my baby"
Devin my Man!! Can't wait for this! A legitimately definitive Masterpiece of Both Sci fi and Horror. Both Terrifying for the Creature design nightmare fuel of The Xenomorph and Incredible special Effects for its time. Fun fact: None of the Cast knew that the Chest buster scene was going to happen, So their reaction is genuine.
Ofcourse they knew, it was in the script. They just didn’t tell everyone how much blood there would be
@@lotus460 Thankyou so SO much dude, That was super important to know and I'm sorry if I was wrong and I'm glad you corrected my horrific mistake. Also cheers for not acting like an Arrogant annoying movie nerd who says " Aha um ...Actually" a LOT.
These aren’t soldiers. They ain’t Starfleet. They’re basically space truckers.
Ridley Scott characterized this as "Truckers in space". These guys are just long haulers - well trained, but really just guys out there doing their job. The sequel, Aliens, is right up your alley Devin...it has Colonial Marines....it was directed by James Cameron. Has Kyle Reese and one of the cops (Lance Hendrickson) from Terminator...And Bill Pullman - who was one of the punks Arnold told to give him their clothes
Longtime fan of yours; and I think you'll love the sequel, 'Aliens':
"This time, it's war."
26:13 i just noticed that when the alien sees jones in the box at the end it slaps the box away lol
The thing about it, was the tag line....in space no one can here you scream........the low music, added to that theme.
On top of that....the casting was enormous.
You know what's crazy/creepy? If you go by the deleted scenes, in which it turns out Dallas isn't dead but Ripley finds him coccooned as she's trying to get off the ship-the cast of this movie have been dying in the order they did in the movie. First John Hurt, then Harry Dean Stanton, then Ian Holm, then Yaphet Kotto. That's like Rutger Hauer dying in 2019. Edit: Oh shit, you are watching the version with the deleted scene of Dallas!
Didn't realize Yaphet had passed until I read your comment. RIP to the man, loved him in this movie.
omg, the way I cackled "Dont you do it, don't you stick your head in there"
“Looks like it’s been dead a long time...”
Well can’t help him... BOUNCE!!!
33:01
Their weapons probably would have been effective against the Alien, but they couldn't risk the Alien's blood destroying the ship.
Good, thoughtful reaction. Most reactors watch this movie in a well lit room. Re-watch it in a dark room and even though you know what happens, you'll be looking over your shoulder.
"Don't you stick your head over it. You effin' fool!"
Gold. This is gold. Compared to the recent... develpments.
Watch part 2, discard everything else.
This movie is good on many levels: atmosphere, set and creature design, corporate backstory. Before the alien even arrives, you can already feel how trapped the crew is on the ship, and from the corporation that runs it. Nothing about the ship conveys any sense of comfort to the crew. Cramped corridors and living areas. Monitors, switches, and ductwork in your face everywhere. It's all about serving the company. Hell, I'm surprised they even gave them chairs to sit down (since there is some kind of simulated gravity on the ship).
'It's 1979, it's old as hell'
I was 2 when this came out. Talk about a kick in the feels...
The chest burster scene reaction killed me!!
Aliens is next. You’re gonna love that one.
Alien and Aliens are two my favority horror movies of all time.
First one is pure suspence with slow and oppressive atmosphere.
Second one is pure action with growing sense of inevitability.
Sigourney Weaver is the best example of a strong female character. Strong not due to the muscles, lasers from the eyes, Mary Sue's omniscience, or simply because all men are bad - she is strong because she is weak, but overcomes her fears and ready to sacrifice herself for the sake of others. She's stronger than her space crew, she's stronger than space marines, she's stronger than horrifying alien monsters.
They didn’t have weapons because they were basically truck drivers in space.
I love that in the original Alien everyone is following quarantine protocols, wearing space suits, etc. In the crappy newer movies everyone just pulls off their helmets right away, don't follow any procedures, and just make the dumbest decisions possible.
The "Nostromo" set was a sealed tube, not unlike "Das Boot," which meant the movie crew was "on location." The TV and print ad campaign gave no clues on what the movie was about. (What would you make of "In Space No One Hear You Scream."?) This is the equivalent of a freighter crew being sent to King Kong's Island with instructions to "investigate a radio signal." Angela Cartwright's "Lambert" is standing for us, the unsuspecting audience. Kane's dinner scene is a notorious classic. You're watching the Special Edition version, which has a tad slower pace than the theatrical version, which sets up a problem. Ripley didn't go into the Alien ship to see the rib-like structure of a Xenomorph nest. She says so in "Aliens," when the Colonial Marines find LV-426's colonists. But, in the SE version, she did see a Xenomorph nest. A small point, but that was unknown to James Cameron, as well. When Ripley slammed Ash into the wall of the computer room and he didn't even react, was my "WTF! He's NOT Human!?" moment. This and the next film made Sigourney Weaver into a major movie star and the very definition of a Strong Female Character.
1) The Nostromo has no guns. As they said, it’s a commercial towing ship. A blurb at the beginning said it’s hauling mining ore material, so it’s like the space equivalent of a barge. Most of the mass of the “ship” is probably some sort of mineral ore.
2) They didn’t offer Parker more money. Dallas had Ash point out that Parker is already contractually obliged to investigate any emergency, distress, or other unknown signals and if he refuses, their work contract means he forfeits his compensation for the entire job (which takes many months of hibernation 1-way). So Parker’s choices were either to help investigate the signal for no additional pay or refuse and get paid nothing for the work and commitment he’s already put in on a nearly completed job other than the return trip.
My Favorite part is when they launched dudes dead body into space. "They shoulda BEEN done that shit yo"
The first sequel 'Aliens' is worth watching.
This was 1979 and hyper sleep was thought of as the future. It was a horror film disguised as a sci-fi movie, and that is its genius. Ages well for over 40 years and nothing comes close to it.
This film launched Sigourney Weaver's career. It had been argued that a female could not carry the lead in an "action" film, but they were proven wrong. Ms. Weaver kicked butt in this film, and its sequels, and proved she could carry a number of roles, both serious and comedic.
BRO, you watched Tremors 2 before 'Alien'? Before Terminator2? Before Aliens? Don't break our hearts, lol.
“Blow up the ship? Whoa there, this ship has substantial $$$ value.”-Burke, Carter J. , Aliens
In the original script, Ripley and Captain Dallas were lovers, which is why it absolutely broke her heart to torch him when she finds him in the alien's cocoon. Also, the movie originally had a much darker ending - the alien bites Ripley's head off in the escape shuttle and then imitates her voice on the radio to fool the authorities as the escape pod heads to Earth.
They're not guns, they're antennas, you need to watch "Aliens" for the guns 😁
Fun fact, all of the cast besides the one infected, had no clue that was gonna burst out like that. They were told he would shake around and everything would be added in post production. The reaction of the chest burster and blood spray is real. They had no clue that would happen.
To date, this is by far my favorite reaction from you. Thank you for making my day!
My favorite movie reactor kills
it again! You're the best Devin!
❤✌📽
I was maybe 5 years old when I first saw this movie. It scarred me for life. Love your reaction Devin, so relatable! 🤣
The reason they went on the alien ship was because they picked up what Ash said was a distress signal. And when dude was like "Fuck that. Pay me". Brought it up, Ash said that if they don't go. They won't get paid for the job they were coming home from.
Also, the reason they had bad tactics and no weapons, is that they are basically truckers. Or like a freight barge crew. They aren't scientists or soldiers. They're just regular people doing their day job, and the boss (Mother/the Wayland Yutani Corporation) told them do this shit, or you ain't getting paid for like the last six months of your life. They had to go. But that's also why they were like "Fuck the quarantine rules. We just wanna go home." Let a boss did try to tell me I couldn't leave if one of my guys got hurt doing something we didn't want to do, that they made us do. Shit I'd do the same damn thing as them, and kick the shit out of said boss. Then there would be no survivors of the Nostromo. 😆
Bro .... you cut me to the quick! I was born in 1979, your first words: "1979 Old as hell." :'( hahah!
Great movie choice man! I’m really hoping you’ll do the sequel Aliens. Make sure you do the special edition. The sequel is more action than suspense, but both are awesome!
Awesome Work Bro and Movie!!!👍👍👍 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
Devine, your comments and reactions are absolutely Priceless in this movie!!
This movie gave me quite a few nightmares in my youth. It still holds up pretty well even to this day. Thank you Devin for this reaction video this was definitely one of your bests, they're all good but you know what I mean. I hope you plan to watch Aliens (the sequel), it's probably my favorite movie of all time. Keep up the great work dude!
yo me n my girl love watching you man, its like watching a movie with good company and the convo throughout the vids. love it man. prreciate ya
You can always count on a mechanic to tell you when a situation is completely FUBAR
Fun fact the reactions of the cast at the chest-bursting scene were genuine reactions as they did not know what was exactly going to happen.
Parker was the MVP the guy literally attacked and wrestled with the alien. The guy may have talked a lot of shit but he truly did care about his mates in the end.
Alien is very much horror, and Aliens is very much action. It's a great case study of how two very different directors can take two completely different avenues with an idea and still make great movies. If you liked this, the prequel Prometheus came out much more recently in 2012. Solid watch
Man I done watched this reaction so many times! 🤣🤣🤣 I love your reactions . When You said jonsey done watched you get fuc$ed UP I WAS DYING!!! 🤣🤣🤣!!
Your reactions are priceless Devin lol
LETS GO! Love alien! Also I would love to see your reaction to comedy as well!
Such a great movie. You're right of course. If only they had followed procedure none of this would have happened. Still, the chance of finding alien life is worth stopping for. I guarantee you one thing though. Jones wouldn't have made it because I wouldn't have gone back for him.
I love how some folks say that guys don't like strong female characters. A million guys who fell in love with Ellen Ripley would beg to disagree, myself included.
If you're going to watch Aliens, which you should, be sure and watch the special edition.
Oh my goodness, we are on to something here with the scary movies, D! 🤣🔥👏
Open the Airlock,what could possibly go wrong?
You should definitely watch Aliens. You'd probably prefer it to this 👍
This will be fun 😂👌
Devin's Legit gonna freak!
The Mechanic you'r reffering to his name was Parker and the sole human survivor her name is Ripely
Hi Devin G. Just found your reactions and this one was a fun time. I've seen Alien numerous times, but it's fun to watch someone else react to it for the first time. .... PEACE to ALL.
Devin, you have gained a new subscriber just based on this reaction alone! This is the first reaction of yours I clicked on.
lol i heard "i dont really do horror movies " and i thought WOW he really doesnt know " roflmao!!!
Creepy fact:
If you go by the director's cut of the film the order that they die in the film is the same as the order that the actors have died (so far) in real life.
Kane-John Hurt
Brett-Harry Dean Stanton
Ash-Ian Holm
Parker-Yaphet Kotto
Came in to post this. Veronica Cartwright needs a wellness check.
And Sigourney Weaver is therefore immortal!
The moment that fake doctor said 'don't touch it' I would've immediately suspected something going on.
The part when the alien busts out the guys chest and then devin reacts had me rolling. It was a proper reaction though.
This is the first movie I ever watched at a drive-in. I was 7 years old 😂
The company knew it was a warning. That's why they put Ash on the ship, to bring back the alien.
You MUST watch the next Alien movie...." Aliens" plural " s" Awesome and a bit more action throughout bro. You'll dig it.
Fun fact the actor in the Alien costume is the same dude in the Predator costume in Predator.
Yes! One of the most important movies... - love the reaction :D (Greetings from Germany)
Man, your face at 18:38-welcome to sci-fi fan's nightmares since 1979!
It's the company who set the rules
Best (low budget) set design EVER! Still holds up, all these years later..Big up to Giger and Cobb et al
And can someone replace all the "Jones" shots with "Old Long Johnson"?
Great reaction, as ever matey x
Alien is a classic for me. One of the first movies with a female as the victor. Ripley was a badass. It’s full of suspense. And when Ash turns out to be a robot.....yikes! You should probably see Aliens. It’s full of action. Great reaction.
