Hey y’all welcome back! Hope you enjoy! Keep the comments positive, or else 😎
Hope you liked my joke in the comments. I said you got SOOO much GRILLA going on that we has to call you BLING KONG 🤣
Love y’all’s reactions
I want to compliment you on how gracious you were about negative comments (at the beginning of the Jurassic Park video) lol. Not disagreeing with you here, just saying your niceness is one reason people should refrain from making mean comments. XD
Selena hit the nail on the head when she said that practical effects trumps CGI.
Sure does nothing beats practical effects when done properly like right here !
The problem with that train of thought is that there are times in modern films where you THINK its all practical, and the studio SAYS the shot was practical, but its was actually part traditional VFX and part CGI. People say CGI doesn't look good, but when done properly they can't tell the difference.
@@SweetZombiJesusYeah agreed, an absolutist view point is limiting. I appreciate every tool, used well, and where appropriate.
It's often said that the best effect is the one you don't see. These days the best approach is a combination of that which each does best. Don't use CGI if you can use practical, and when it gets too impractical to use practical, go to CGI. In short use each to their strengths.
Steven Spielberg said that ALIEN was the first Science Fiction film he ever saw where all of his focus was exclusively on the characters, instead of the Special Effects. All of the sets and effects were practical and utilitarian in service to the story. It's a bit of a slow burn, but truly captures the claustrophobic tension of being trapped in a game of hide and seek with a proficiently deadly alien species while stuck in space. A true modern classic.
Fun fact: The alien is (mostly) portrayed by Bolaji Badejo, a Nigerian graphic designer that a member of the casting team randomly encountered in a Soho pub. He was 6 foot 10 and very slender, so he was considered perfect for the role. This is the only film he ever appeared in. He was offered a role in the sequel, but instead he moved back to Nigeria and opened his own art gallery. Unfortunately he passed away in 1992 from sickle cell disease.
Check out Halloween(1978), Aliens(1986), The Thing(1982), The Terminator(1984), and Predator(1987).
Second The Thing.
See Aliens!!!
Poor alien, it's tragic!
Imagine being a life form, born away from your family (no mother, no siblings from other eggs) on a strange ship, hunting to eat and survive, but the crew keep trying to chase you with flame throwers and electro-rods!
In the end you just want to sleep but then some 'bitch' wakes you up with steam and shoots you out the airlock to a tragic death.
RIP Alien, you life was cut short and all you did was hunt and eat and try to survive (for a few days).
:D
Someone said alien is die hard from the terrorists point of view or maybe die hard is alien from the aliens pov lol
Believe it or not- back in 1979 Kenner toys (who just made a fortune on Star Wars toys) released an *18 inch tall* toy of the Alien in time for Christmas. The toy was just as frightening as the R-Rated movie itself!
Parents were shocked and outraged so toy stores pulled it from the shelves. It has become a hot collector item and a genuine 1979 Kenner Alien still in the original box is worth a small fortune!
While I didn't own one myself (I was 9 years old in 1979) a friend of mine did back then- the toy had a mouth that opened with a lever on the back of the head- and had the little "extra jaw" that extended when the mouth opened. Yeah for a kid it was terrifying!
wow did not know this, thanks for sharing!
I was 9 and I can honestly say that movies were scarier back then. They were not scared to show gore violence. Just watch RoboCop one time.
lol
My mother didn’t want we go too far out on the beach so she took me to see Jaws
@@Lilith6416 It's funny- "Robocop" was the first R rated film I ever saw in the theatre and I "bluffed" my way in as I was only 17 at the time (had to be 18 for R in Canada).
When the movie was over... I truly felt like I had watched an R rated film!
Great reaction, please dont wait too long for part 2! one of the best squeals ever.
The crew ignoring Ripley had nothing to do with her being a woman. Originally, Ripley was written to be a man but got changed. The ‘one person warning of danger and being ignored trope’ was very common in the 70’s.
The tiny panties were a perfect distraction from seeing the alien right away. Pure Genius. Even after watching it many times over the years ( including at the theater in 1979) I didn’t realize it until I heard every reactor on CZcams comment on Ripley’s drawers.
Dallas and Ripley liked one another just fine; the book mentions that they had a thing together. In the movie the only nod to it is in the end when she lists the dead, referring to everyone by their last names except Dallas. She was irritated with Dallas because he was protecting her by going into the vents.
“Aliens”is the best sequel ever made. After that, I recommend skipping all the others. “Alien 3,” “Alien: Resurrection,” “Prometheus,” and “Covenant” are all bunk. But that’s my opinion.
I agree, particularly when it comes to “Alien 3”. I think that movie kind of spits in the face of James Cameron’s film, especially since the beginning occurs off camera.
P.S. - I think that “The Godfather Part 2” would definitely give “Aliens” a run for the money, as far as sequels go.
You do know that when they change the gender of a lead character they do Aldo make changes the wild make sense for the gender. So Ripley being ignored could quite possibly be because she is a woman
I gotta disagree about Aliens, but I’m in the minority on that one. I consider this to be a masterpiece, and that one let me down lol. But it is quite different and meant to be.
I mentioned elsewhere, but it’s reasonable to assume it’s because she’s a woman since misogyny exists in our world including when this was made. Also the few female characters who weren’t written for women (mostly by men) are some of my favorites. They’re allowed to be less stereotypical.
The panties argument is a stretch lol. (Edit: a stretch on Ridley’s part if that was his justification rofl. I do also get that the movie was supposed to have a lot of se*ual imagery overall.) There are other ways we could have been distracted, and considering so many men defend and enjoy the scene shows that it served numerous purposes. XD (And no “not all men”.) But if a male character’s undies were falling off and there was some equivalent shot of his junk, everyone, especially dudes, would be complaining for days. We’re just more used to women being shot like that.
Ripley in the tank is shot in a somewhat se*ual way as well, but overall, it does come across as casually realistic. She’s sweaty and just wants to be DONE.
@@NoelleMar Ripley in what tank? I don’t remember what scene you’re referring to.
45 years on, Alien remains director Ridley Scott's best film
I guess this and Blade Runner are probably my favorites, but I can’t disagree with you.
I think my favorite description I saw was "Everyone ignores the smart woman and then everyone dies except the smart woman and the cat." XD
That's the first time I've heard anyone commenting on a movie's "slow start" during the opening credits.
I'm not saying younger generations have the attention spans of Goldfish but,
Opening titles....
"It's a little slow"
FFS man.
💯
@@Muckylittleme😂😂😂😂
LOL yeah well from all I've watched of this pair, he's _definitely_ the 'slower starter' of the two. 😂
Guys Mother is the ship's computer or AI not home base.
Impressed you realized Ash was a robot! I know it was about to be revealed, but that’s still an extremely bizarre and puzzling moment for most people (including myself). I hadn’t noticed how Parker, who had been focused on money, was the one who said, “What about our lives??” to Ash(‘s head). Considering what he does throughout the movie (suggesting freezing poor John Hurt’s character and sacrificing himself in an attempt to save another coworker), he really is the second most-level headed on the ship and an all around good guy.
1. Tagline "In space no one can hear you scream"
2. Best explosion EVER (including Star Wars)
3. Dallas/Tom Skerritt also played Viper in "Top Gun" and Strawberry in "Up in Smoke".
4. Brett/Harry Dean Stanton had a very healthy resume. We lost him recently.😇
5. Ridley Scott is also known for directing the original "Bladerunner".
6."Parker, you'll get what's coming to you". Unknowing prophetic.
7. Watching "Aliens" is a must now.
3. Don't forget Duke in "M*A*S*H".
The reason the creature looked so menacing is that the actor who played him, Bolaji Badejo, was 6 feet, 10 inches tall. Alien was his only film credit. Cool review, folks!
"Are they planning to land on a unknown planet?", well yes, the entire previous scene explained at length that they were obligated to investigate any systemized transmission, that indicates intelligent life.
Alien 2 (Aliens) is a different type of movie. 1 is a suspense thriller, 2 is a shoot-em-up kill-em movie. 3 goes back to suspense thriller. 4 is a little harder to describe.
Alien vs. Predator (2004) is a great crossover movie.
These older movies are great aren’t they ✌️
Lambert’s death was the creepiest for me. No visual, but the audio is so haunting.
Yeah. My dad let me watch that when I was 10. Scared the ish out of me. My mom was at work. When the movie was over he said, “Don’t tell your mother.”
🤣
Parker was always my favorite character. Only cuz he was the funniest. As I got older….i realized he was right about everything, and wrong about nothing through the whole film 🫣
Veronica Cartwright - Lambert played the young girl in Hitchcock’s The Birds
The ending suggested by Ridley Scott ? Sigourney Weaver was beheaded and the alien emulated her voice on the communication dashboard... Fox executives flew right away to the UK to make sure the ending was right on track 😉
Mother is the ship computer
Dallas and Ripley had a relationship
The alien ship and the dead alien pilot were designed by HR Giger known for his biomechanoid surreal depictions in his artworks. It is canonically said the ship is bio mechanical in nature & so did the alien pilot corpse....both that were symbiotically linked. The dead alien pilot is called Space Jockey a term used by the makers of this film. And it has its own lore explained in various comics.
The film is not set in 2037 that is just the program number of the computer. The film is actually set in 2122.
When I first saw this movie just a couple years ago, I had already seen Alien: Covenant and Prometheus, in that order. (Don't ask me how that happened, it just did.) So I already knew about androids in the Alienverse. But I had _no idea_ that there were any androids in the first Alien movie. I assumed that was something they introduced in the later installments. So I went into this movie thinking that I knew all the important story beats and it wouldn't hold any real surprises for me. Imagine my reaction when I saw Ash's white blood! I just about flipped my lid. That was such a great twist, and I'm so glad it didn't get ruined for me before I saw this movie.
I’ll bet the crew wishes Ripley was listened to. I’ll bet Kane wishes he wasn’t such an eager beaver. And I’ll bet Parker would have said F the shares when he got gutted and torn apart.
Yeah, the trick is, is not to take dates literally like they should 100% replicate a timeline that exists outside of the movie. I always find it best to imagine 'alternate universes' which can explain just about any inconsistency with real life. Nice reaction x
Alien is my favorite movie depending on the day of the week I’m asked. On the other days, my favorite is Aliens. In my opinion it’s the greatest sequel ever made, rivaled only by Empire Strikes Back and Terminator 2. Please check it out soon and be sure to watch the Director’s Cut. In my opinion it’s the better version, but you can’t go wrong with the theatrical cut either.
Couple points about this movie: the crew might have had guns but they couldn’t risk using them because the alien most likely has acid blood too. Shooting it would surely kill them all when the blood burns a hole through every floor below it.
It’s not always clear to viewers, but the alien was initially standing in the hallway leading to the shuttle, so Ripley couldn’t get past it. She was trying to turn off the self destruct so she could find another way to deal with the alien. Since she was too late she had no choice but to go back and try to get past it.
I don’t think Ripley hated Dallas at all. In fact, there was a scene in a version of the script where they have sex in the shuttle. Ripley was definitely frustrated with some of his decisions, and the events has her stressed out, but I don’t think she hated him.
I also don’t think Ripley was ignored because she was a woman. Parker agreed with her most of the time and Lambert didn’t. It doesn’t seem like a culture of sexism to me when one of the men agrees with her and the other woman doesn’t. Ash was never going to go along with anything that went against his mission to acquire and protect an alien. Dallas and Ripley simply had good old fashioned disagreements. Unfortunately Dallas made the wrong decisions at every turn when he should have listened to Ripley. I think that’s why he insisted on going into the vents when Ripley was prepared to. He knew how dangerous it was and I think he was taking responsibility for the situation he put them in. He wasn’t about to risk any more lives other than his own.
Fun "Weyland-Yutani is a horrible company" Fact:
The Nostromo actually has two lifeboats. Each can carry 3 crewmembers.
The Nostromo sails with a crew of 7... and a cat.
Practical effects are way better. They look real because they ARE real. Using actual models for the Nostromo is fantastic. Honestly, except fir cleaning up footage, and for laser-type weapons, practical sets are better any day. Thats why I dont like modern day films that much. EVERYTHING is CGI, except the people, and its like a video game, not a film. This is the way to go! Great job guys! One of the scariest movies of all time to this day.
CGI has been around since the 1950's mostly for military use. One of the first films not sure if this is correct to use CGI though was Alfred Hitchcock's 1958 movie Vertigo in the opening credit scene. It was used on and off in other films since then and became more mainstream by the 1990's. Love the reaction. Yes, please do Aliens the extended version.
I know the DOS computer screens look really dated, but imagine having a computer system on what's basically a tow truck in space whose crew can be "offline" for months: you'd want something stripped down, straightforward, and easy to use, not something that requires hefty updates on a regular basis and that looks pretty to impress customers or buyers.
If they'd tried to kill the baby alien when it emerged from Kane's chest, acid would have sprayed everywhere, including onto themselves.
What good would guns do? It's full of acid.
ALIEN was just re-released to theaters on 4/26. But hey, take something bigger than life and subliminate it small as possible on your little screen for a first time viewing instead. Millennials in a nutshell.
"What's the matter, the food ain't THAT bad, baby!"
in any other movie this could be a memorable line, but due to this movie being so darn near perfect (sorry pertfect for those that will correct me!) it's lost in a million other great memorable lines; but his little chuckle makes it, at that precise moment he just sees his buddy as choking on the food, like a quick joke before it all goes to hell lol
Thanks guys, wonderful reactions!
It's a lot like being amazed by CD quality, but now more and more appreciating old vinyl when you speak of practical vs CGI. Aliens is still horrific, but is more action-packed.
The most badass female superhero image ever = Sigourney Weaver back-lit in the doorway with a flamethrower and a cat carrier! ❤💯😃😃
The Alien was a man in a Alien suit - a very tall and skinny man.
Wow! I didn’t even realize that was the Alien swaying with the chains at 34:00 when I first watched the movie. I thought it was just a piece of machinery with the chains lol
the crew's annoyance with ripley had more to do with her by-the-book overzealous nature.
also, Ripley didn't hate Dallas, in the original script and in the novel, they were actually sleeping together. if you notice they talk to each other almost like an old married couple.
Aliens is awesome. Please react to it next. Love you guys!
Part II 😁 #1 No need to land quietly if it's a possible SOS beakin. #2 if it was not a alien craft (though realistically WE are the aliens) they'd be saying "Is it Russian or Chinese?? Stay tuned for part III 😯
ALRIGHT !!! I'm glad yall are watching my favorite franchise. yall are gonna love, especially Aliens. I'll just say this It's never game over, man. RIP Bill Paxton, aka Hudson, the TRUTH💯 AWESOME SHOW, keep up the terrific work 👌 👏 👍 😀
Thank you for watching 🙏🏽
@@ajandselena Right on
Ash being an Android shows how far the company is willing to go to keep this lifeform. But I don't think anyone anticipated how many of them there was on that planet.
It has always been my contention that "The Company" is not behind the events of Alien.
It's a single suit. Some desk driver who got a lead on the alien signal and instituted a last-minute crew member change and inserted a special parameter into the flight plan of a backwater commercial tugboat. (Not hard to do.)
Someone operating under very similar circumstances to Burke.
When the Nostromo disappeared, the suit covered his tracks, and Weyland-Yutani as a corporation was none the wiser.
OR....If W/Y wanted an Alien so badly, they (apparently) knew where they were. They had 57 years to get one.
But instead, they built a colony there, and don't even take Ripley seriously when she suddenly reappears.
No, "The Company" is actually innocent on a corporate level.
They use the same trope in Alien Covenant. The crew is woken up by a "Mysterious signal" from a planet, by it happens to be "Country roads" by John Denver!!
No I believe it had
nothing to do with what she thought of Dallas and everything to do with the fact that she agreed with Dallas that she wanted to kill this creature and he had to die. But I do believe Ripley is merciful.
This is the start in movies...u see anyone drinking milk, beware! I would call this sci-fi, not horror. The Thing is definitely both! This,The Thing, and Bladerunner,(Scott also did Bladerunner!😮😮😮) are the 3 most important sci-fi movies ever made. Maybe add Tron, and it's sequel, here. No CGI, all models, special effects, and practical effects! Big walk arounds, built sets ,tools ,furniture, machinery, inside and outside buildings! There is a huge tie-in here. In Prometheus, the prequel to all movies, the alien here on the ship with his chest blown out. These are Engineers. A race of beings who seed life on planets and if they don't like how the life is progressing they seed another life to wipe out the remaining then they destroy each other. Engineers created humans Aliens and supposedly Predators and gave humans the technology for Replicants and Terminators! Also Tyrell Corp,(Bladerunner )Cyberdyne Systems,(Terminator )Weyland Corp(Alien) are all related. Dallas, in a brief view of his resume, u see he worked for Tyrell Corp 😮 that's Bladerunner! Cyberdyne Systems did tech work for Tyrell Corp! And Weyland Corp did industrial and flight operations for Tyrell Corp!! Also Cameron did the sequels for alien and Terminator!!! And of course, Arnold was in predator and Terminator! And Reese, Bill Paxton and the Mexican chica both in terminator 2 and Aliens. Also lance hennrikson is the asst police chief in terminator, and bishop in, Aliens😮😮😮!!!
The old white guy here is Harry Dean Stanton. Been in every movie made since the silent era!😅 This , Dillinger, outsiders, Red Dawn, Godfather 2, Green Mile, and others. Pro tip, the first death scene the director and actor didn't tell the rest of the actors, what was going to happen with the actor, Scott wanted real reactions from the other actors 😮😮😮The real horror is, when ur being taken over, u don't know it!....just like in, The Thing! The dinner chest bust out scene, only the actor and director were fully aware of what was going to happen in this scene! Scott said he wanted realistic reactions from the other actors....he damn sure got them! This scene also parodied in Spaceballs!! This movie is almost 50 years old and the stills ,effects , sets, computer and electronics gear, etc., are still all amazing to look at.
Alien is Fear incarnate
and Ripley is Legend 🙌
kinda mandatory you do Aliens next.
good stuff guys 🍿👀
look forward to it all
stay Awesome ⭐️
0:29 "Sigourney" is pronounced with a hard "g" 😉
1:52 Atmosphere! Just let it wash over you 😌
"Mother" is the name of the Nostromo's AI system.🚀
‘Mother’ is the Ship’s Computer
MU-TH-UR
Another great reaction! So awesome seeing you guys getting into it so much!
FYI: You guys watched an extended director's cut of the film.
I love that your first instinct is to kill it forgetting it has acid for blood.
The movie is supper creepy when you realize the Company sent them to get infected by the xenomorph on this derelict space craft and to try to bring it back to earth by using Ash the Android. Really Messed Up.
Sigourney Weaver icônica para sempre nos 4 aliens ....... ponto fundamental......uma senhora atriz de Hollywood
LUKE! I am your mother! And together as "mother" and son, we can rule the galaxy! 😎
Stay away from him, you b***h!
A couple of youngsters are boarding the "Nostromo." What will these moderns make of this "old, long, slow-moving, character-centered, no-DFX" movie? The TV and newspaper ads of the time gave us NO idea what kind of movie this was except for the "in space no one can hear you scream." 7:10 The Company is sending the equivalent of a freighter crew to "do science" on an unexplored planet! 13:00 Canny observers saw Ash's "calisthenics" as suspect. 16:39 The Space Jockey, a mystery for decades. 18:45 Second Officer Kane = Zapp Brannigan. 19:47 How's THAT for a jump scare? 20:18 This conversation has become iconic due to recent events. 20:56 The Face Hugger, grossing out audiences for decades; this is the SE version. 22:25 That's why they couldn't "just cut if off him." 25:38 A Props dept. work of ART, made of sea animals. 28:14 Kane's last meal. 29:10 The Xenomorph, scaring audiences for over 40 years.
Ian Holm played Bilbo Baggins.
I'm sure most of your viewers will want you to watch Aliens and there is a Special Edition that runs 20 minutes longer that you should watch.
I been watching yall for about a week. Yall are hitting the classics up nicely, as for this one, yes definitely watch the next one it's just as good if not better. I will be waiting....
The soft, soothing orchestral music at the very end is from Howard Hansen’s Symphony No. 2. Consider it a reward for making it through the horrific parts of this film.
🙂
Fantastic Reaction Guys now you gotta checkout the other Iconic classics Aliens 1986 , The Thing 1982 , Jaws 1975 Phenomenal Movies
they got a distrtess call. why they landed , also MOTHER is the name of the ships computer- that room the captain walks into is the whole computer
I have no time for cgi in movies. Sign me a "Jaws" lover. Practical effects. Look at the 45min doc about how "The Exorcist" was made. Incredible practical effects.
It’s interesting that Parker and Ripley were so at each other at the start-They were the only crew with any commonsense.
Building the sets gave room for more creative set decorating. It's why it has such a lived-in look. And such a claustrophobic look. This film really caught everyone off guard, coming after the very hopeful film 'Star Wars'. People weren't ready for the visceral horror in this film. The version you were watching had scenes that weren't in the theatrical release, by the way. Just a couple of scenes and shots, really.
Good reaction. We tend to forget that John Hurts character (Kane) was infected by only one face hugger and they say there were "thousands" of eggs. That's where the sequel comes from. I am not a fan of recent CGI. Sure it is a time and money saver, but practical effects and real locations are way better. The actors also play against the real thing way better. Movies like 300 were just terrible.
Firing guns aboard a spaceship is a very bad idea for obvious reasons.
You are to be applauded for being two intelligent people actually watching the damn film, and not constantly blabbering like idiots, which I can assure you is what 95% of folks doing reactions really are! I've only ever found one I could watch as they're all just so bloody maddeningly irritating. But sadly that seems to be what folks want. You both really do approximate what it might be like to actually be watching a film in company when one is alone. Watching it! Not talking so much that you would miss god knows what important details. And yes, you also appreciate the realism that films from back then have compared to the cgi-laden rubbish of today. Finally, yes watch Aliens, but I would humbly suggest that you be careful with the long line of sequels. Aliens is magnificent, albeit very different. But Alien 3 is very problematic, although perhaps just about worth watching, although I could never get past the awful choices it made with pivotal characters. Resurrection is awful. And, sad to say, but the two recent Ridley Scott films are stupid and an insult to his original creation. They may look good, but god are they stupid. I truly wish I had stopped at Aliens, but of course that would never have happened. As to the soon-to-be-released film, well, I'm crossing everything but I think it's a huge long shot. Subbed!
@34:00ish... Wow! No comment on the chain swinging Alien! They didn't see it! AJ, Selena.... really? =X-D
Look at some of HR Giegers art. He is right in a narrow zone between horror and porn, which is a strange place to be.
I always thought. Why send the body out? He was no longer a threat.
I suspect it's the ancient maritime custom of dealing with the dead, just in space and not on the high sea's.
Well done film❤
NICE! 7 days late to the party 🥳🎉 Just watched the John Wick reaction. Gotta say Dude, you got SOOO much GRILLA going on we has to call you BLING KONG 🤣😭😂 Great movie. 5 minutes in. Hoping you like!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
Ridley Scott has confirmed Alien, Predator, and Blade Runner all are in the same universe. The cool down screen in this movie can't be seen in the police sky car Spinner of Blade Runner.
He hinted at it, but I don’t think the Earth of Alien is the dying shithole that it is in Blade Runner
Ridley Scott has said a great many things, but not everything he says should be taken at face-value... Just look at the fuster-cluck that is his "prequel trilogy" for ALIEN. I don't want to spoil anything significant just incase these two plan on visiting those films as well, but I will say this much... According to Mr. Scott, in this universe Jesus was an alien of a particular variety; thus when he gets killed... Yeah, if you know, you know.
Yeah, I was waiting to see your faces when seeing the face hugger for the 1st time, and at 20:59 you didn't disappoint! 😄Now on to ALIENS!
This was fun watching this reaction for Alien! Yup it's a sure horror! Just like the first Terminator. You got to watch the sequel Aliens! Great scary action and story sequel and it's by James Cameron! Please try to watch The Special Edition version, it's better. And like you said, you can now tell the practicals of film are so much better than today CGI. You two are pretty cool, good commentary, and cant wait to see more of your reactions, especially the older films. :)
You edited out the iconic "Alien jump scare"?? Sacrilege. Great reaction anyway.😁
Now watch the greatest sequel made, Aliens
The greatest sequel ever made was Godfather 2. Aliens is probably 3rd greatest behind Empire Strikes Back.
@@Serpico360 wrong, I have Caddy Shack 2 as the second best sequel
And make sure you watch ALIENS:THE SPECIAL EDITION. ALIENS,GODFATHER 2, TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, TOP GUN 2:MAVERICK,all great sequels.
@@viclagina347 That’s meant as humor, right?
@@New-tu3mn if you are referring to the Caddy Shack 2 comment, have you seen it?
Um The Excorsist!!
Good call on sussing out Ash is an android. Have never seen your eyes so wide.
Ash's voice almost sounds like autotune. One clue that he is a Droid
I do not think one can land a landing craft quietly.
Seems not even safely in this flick.
Great reation!!!!! Keep doing YOU! Check out Starship Troopers, on your own. Its good
aLIEn
Not seen yet, loce you guys... -I know how this works.....scaryy..😍
43:42 they did have guns but with the acid blood they were afraid it would eat through the hull
Im sorry but i really dont like the directors cut of alien. The edit from Dallas yelling at Ripley to him softly talking to ash is messy, it shows the alien too much with Bret and the coccooned dallas and bret being turned into eggs made no sense esp going into aliens (coccooning yes turning into eggs not ao much). Now watching Aliens i highly recommend the special edition it adds alot of meaning and more emotions
If you like classic SF movies. Check out the 1950's original movies. Alien was influenced by THEM! (1954) too! The THING, When Worlds Collide, and The epic The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951). The War of the Worlds, The Beast from 20.000 Fathoms (1953), GODZILLA, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Forbidden Planet (1956). Forbidden was a huge influence for the original Star Trek too! The Deadly Mantis and 20 Million Miles to Earth (1957) and The BLOB (1958).
Thanks for your suggestions!! Will look into this!!
The Thing (1982). not the recent one...
@@willd6580will do!
For the love of God, please use clips/scenes longer than 2 seconds. The feeling of intense choppiness is super aggravating.
dont clip mid sentence
6 weeks isnt long, lol.
My favorite movie series. I saw it as a teenager in theatres in '79 and watch every youtuber reaction maker. Theses guys are just truck drivers not scientists, hence bad decisions. In the blue ray version you do see the alien hanging on the chains in the landing gear bay. Your editing, you tend to cut out most of the best scenes or chop them up. This I dont like.. Minus points here
Well you cant have gun in a space ship. Anything breaking the hull leads to airbreach. I'd suggest you watch a reaction to this movie by EOM REACTIONS. it was his very first movie reaction and I thought he did a good job.
Now there are other movies in the series. I will say this to you as I do to every other reaction maker, BUT NO ONE LISTENS> MAYBE YOU WILL BE TH E FIRST....Watch the Pre-quel PROMETHEUS before you watch the Sequeal ALIENS...
The series will make so much more sense if you do. BE SURE you get the cut 5 min clip, which is here on youtune, of the deleted conversation between the Engineer and David. Play it after the movie ends. IF YOU DONT DO THIS...WELL I TOLD YOU do.
There are other movies in the series Prometheus, Aliens, Alien Covenant, plus so others which I think are junk.
NO CGI so it was a big real model. The Alien was just a Stan Winston creature design with guy in rubber suit.
Overall on scale of 1 to 5 I give your reaction a 3. Onto PROMETHEUS next!
After Ripley goes to sleep at the end of the movie, she's found by a deep space salvage crew 80 years later at the start of the sequel, ALIENS, which is more of an action movie than a horror film.
Actually it's 57 years later. It's mentioned in the beginning of Aliens by the character Burke.
I know you two are very young and you keep mentioning that it was the 70s but for us older people, the 70s wasn't that long ago... Lol. Yaphet kotto was the brother in the movie and he was one of one of the biggest black actors and John hurt was huge as well. Ok. That's enough... Do you sell a favor and watch Aliens!!!!
No to be mean but the editing is so choppy that it make your videos almost unwatchable. I also tried Tropic Thunder and only got through about 10 min of that one too.
*The 2nd one is the best one. And guns on a space ship is a no no.*
