Space Jockey, Face Hugger, Chest Burster.. so many Alien baddy names to learn!
It took me many years to realize what you guessed. About why she tried to cancel the self destruct. It was because the alien was blacking the only way to the shuttle.
It wasn’t clear to me at first but as we went along it made sense :)
The practical effects of these older movies tend to freak out people not use to that seeing all digital effects in more current movies. Your reaction didn't disappoint. Definitely recommend the next one, the extended cut gives a little more emotional punch in my opinion. Without giving anything away. But its as good if not even better than this one.
The Alien practical effects are a bit weaker when they used the stuntman as a stand-in for the creature. But when they use Badejo playing the alien with his unnaturally long and slender limbs, it works well. Also the alien ripoffs made during the time had horrible practical effects. It's not the method, it's the craft.
Well.. if nothing else, this won't have added to your fear of aliens, nope not at all... The perfect antidote to this would be watching Mars Attacks.
Ack ack ack ack ack. ack ack ack ack ack ack ack. *translated* I concur completely. I love this movie.
@@aaronburdon221 😄Brilliant reply sir! Aye 'tis a classic.
Or, given that Halloween is now approaching, "Spaced Invaders".
Great reaction!
The sequel was written and directed by James Cameron and is one of the best sequels ever.
One of the best **movies** ever ;)
It's definitely a completely different kind of movie. Alien had a life form you didn't dare kill. Aliens had xenomorphs that were mowed down with ease and little consequence. Alien also had a very realistic feel to it, especially the way the cast interacted. Aliens was pure 2-D Hollywood blockbuster characters. With the exception of a few effects shots, I've always liked the original over its action movie sequel. Ripley seemed to fluctuate between two modes: fawning mother mode and warrior mode with no in-between. Newt also had a scream that sounded the same throughout and pierced my eardrums. As with most Cameron movies, Aliens impressed upon its initial viewing but diminished thereafter because of the lack of organic direction and emotion. Then, I do write in the vast minority. I also wasn't crazy about T-2, which came down to a 2-D warrior in Sarah Conner , a semi-comical Arnold Schwarzenegger and a John Conner whose hair was always killing his peripheral vision.
@@bighuge1060 I agree. I have rewatched "Alien" plenty of times, but IIRC I've only done so once when it comes to "Aliens" - and I saw it in the theatre around the time it was released, so I've had plenty of time. Not that it's a bad film (I have a recollection of getting fed up with the kid, though), but it just doesn't draw me back the way its prequel does. People who claim that the sequel is superior might prefer action over horror. I don't.
Here's the thing: even if they listened to Ripley nothing would change. Ash was put on the ship by the company to return the alien- he was there to make sure that happened even if he had to kill the entire crew to do it. It wouldn't have mattered if they did what Ripley said at the end of the day.
And here's a thought experiment: "Alien" is basically "Die Hard" from the alien's point of view :)
There's a documentary on the making of Alien called 'Memory' (or something similar). They interviewed a couple of film critics for it who pointed out the film's supposed highlighting of misogyny, using the scene where Ash ignores Ripley & opens the airlock to let Dallas, Lambert & Kane back into the ship as an example of this. The critics though seemed to totally ignore two things, 1)- Ash was working towards his own agenda goals and these goals were his only concern and 2)- Ripley was (I believe) written to be played by a female or male actor, and if a man had been cast in the role, Ash's reaction would have been exactly the same as we saw in the actual movie & Ripley's gender was in this instant totally irrelevant...so WTF 🙄
@@eddhardy1054 In fact, *all* the characters were written so they could be played by either female or male actors. That's why they all had single names that didn't imply any gender: Ripley, Dallas, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Ash, Kane. That's just one of the things that made this such an unusual script.
Great moment at 18:20 ... apparently some people just don't appreciate the magic and beauty of child birth.
😂🫣🤢
Tara, I'm not sure what's the bigger scare for people. That the Alien comes out of your chest and grows to be big as a house or that ASh is an android, covertly placed by the Weyland corporation to carry out their secret plans at the expense of all human crew lives. Tara, seeing your reactions to 90 minutes of nightmare fuel was so priceless. When ASh's head gets knocked off, I think you had to mentally check out in order to get through the rest of the movie. Bilbo really did you wrong didn't girl and in his immortal word, "You have my sympathies".
Hahaha you nailed it
I was SHOCKED by that moment!!!
This movie was really good, scary and entertaining!! I’m so glad you enjoyed watching it with me!
@@TaraTunesIn Oh i sooooo wanted something to grab your leg from under the bed when you was doing the intro....lolol :):):)
It's so interesting to watch the relationship between Ripley and Parker. They don't really like each other, but they have to work together. Sigourney Weaver and Yaphet Kotto were terrific at portraying this. I'm always impressed that they made the tension between the characters seem realistic. It wasn't one-dimensional. You see it throughout the film, but especially in the scene after Dallas is killed (25:30 - 26:00). Evidently Weaver and Kotto had to rehearse quite a bit to get the tension right; to make it convincing. it didn't come naturally. Their work sure did pay off.
A lot of people dont realize that Ripley is the Chief Engineer thinking Parker is but Parker is actually the 1st Engineer and Brett is Engineers Assistant. The chief Engineer's station is on the bridge just like on an actual ship. They are more like a department head and seldom actually work in the engine rom.
This is awesome! Revealing their titles is actually really helpful to me. I have spend a lot of times on ships so this comment really speaks to me!
That’s so interesting! I rarely think about how actors go about making their characters’ interpersonal relationships seem deep and real! I did notice how this movie felt very real, though! The actors were speaking to one another the way a crew who works together would in real life, not like scripted actors! Well done weaver and kotto!
@@TaraTunesIn As a side note. LAMBERT was actually suppose to play Ripley and at the last minute, Director Scott switched their roles. They are actually lucky Lambert didn't walk off the set. I often wonder how well this movie would have played out with the 2 actors in reversed roles. The only thing I can think of, if you recall the scene when Ripley came down to the med lab after Ash let them in and Lambert went to punch Ripley? Maybe because Ripley was physically bigger girl, is all I can think of. I don't know the trivia that well.
The Thing by John Carpenter is great sci fi horror with a cool alien!
It’s definitely in my list! I’ve heard great things!! :) Thanks for the suggestion!!
21:56...He's still looking for the cat because while it's on the loose it'll give off readings that the trackers will pick up and this will make hunting the Alien a lot harder.
Makes sense
Ripley's the practical one, but Jones is her cat.
There's a famous story about how at the premiere one of the ushers fainted and flopped down face first in the aisle when Parker knocked Ash's head off.
Hahah I nearly did that myself
Classic horror... Everyone expects there to be jump scares...
NOBODY and I mean *NOBODY* sees the "Ash is a robot" twist coming!
I was maybe 10 years old when this film was shown on tv in 1980... It terrified me!
I can imagine!!! It’s very scary, for adults!! If I saw this when I was 10 I’d probably never watch another movie again hahah
For Aliens it is well worth watching the special directors edition as it adds depth to the storyline. Loved your reaction Tara 💙
Mother is the name of the computer running the ship. And the ship is the Nostromo.
You did it! Huge respect to you for mustering the courage to watch a move you've avoided for so long.
Finding the cat was important because it showed up on the trackers while they were searching for the alien.
Thank you!!! Lol I was pretty proud of myself
Ah the 70's... wonderful time to be a kid (i was born in 69), i mean we got Jaws, The Omen, The Exorcist, Salem's Lot, Trilogy of Terror... saw Alien theaters in 79 when i was 10... got nightmares for weeks... fun times yay...
Hahaha things were dark
To be fair to the Xenomorph, it might have been more friendly if the crew had fed it Reeses Pieces like Elliott did….
Hahah excellent point! None of this would have happened if Elliot were there to make friends with it!!
I was 11 years old when this movie came out. It was getting really good press, and my dad had heard that it had some good dark humor in it (which it does). He misinterpreted what was said, thought it was a comedy, and took me to see it on opening day.
The movie's going along, and gets to the meal scene. The chestburster makes its appearance, a lady in the front row throws up and runs out of the theater, the whole audience is cringing, and I'm scared but enjoying the whole thing. I can only imagine what my dad was thinking.
I was such a big fan of the first movie that when the second one came out I didn't ask any questions, didn't look at ads, didn't watch the preview, I just went to the theater knowing nothing other than it was a sequel to the first. I got there an hour early expecting bigger crowds, and ended up getting the first ticket to the first show. Best theatrical experience of my life, such an amazing movie. I look forward to seeing your reaction to it.
That’s incredible!! I can’t believe the lady threw up and ran out 😂😂
There are two shots with Jones the cat on the ship. The second shot is a big close up him. On the third shot of the cat..."There's a cat on the ship? Why is there a cat on the ship?"
Lol so… what you’re saying is… I must not have noticed the cat before then…?
Correct.
Cats were commonly used for pest control on ships for hundreds of years. Same idea here on the nostromo. Rats and other vermin would have probably gotten on the ship and they brought Jones the cat with for that reason.
Lol it makes sense, I suppose but more so for seagoing vessels rather than spaceships. I always considered spaceships to be more sterile environments, but I guess they could have stowaway vermin too!
@@TaraTunesIn When making Alien, the writers and designers specifically wanted the movie to have more of a rugged industrial “working class” feel to it rather than the more cleanly, uniformed aesthetics of something like Star Trek.
24:05 i love the excitement on your face and in your voice when you discover it's a FREAKIN FIRE BLASTER! 🔥
😀😀🔥🔥It was so awesome!!
@@TaraTunesIn made more awesome by how unimpressed you were when you thought it was only a flame 🤣
Some other fun alien horror films to keep an eye out for, include:
The Thing (1982)
The Blob (1988)
Communion (1989)
Fire In The Sky (1993)
The Arrival (1996)
Pitch Black (2000)
OMG Fire in the Sky YES! And I think another good horror sci-fi is Event Horizon...
I will definitely check these out!! Thank you!
And Predator :) and a great non-horror alien movie is Arrival by Denis Villeneuve
I saw this movie when it came at the theater back in 1979. I was a teenager. I was unable to sleep for a week after that.
I can believe it!!!
24:51...You telling Lambert to pull herself together was genuine hilarious. Also you're the first reactor I've seen who doesn't know what a flamethrower is 😉😊
Not the most intelligent of reactors!
Good thing they had a flamethrower on a spaceship.
@@tjsogmc and a cat
Thanks lol
Brett is looking for the cat so they don't keep finding the cat with their little motion tracker.
Get the cat, lock it up somewhere, then the next thing they see on the tracker will be the alien they're looking for.
Considering its 42 years old the flm holds its own super well. Glad you liked it. When you watch aliens please watch the special edition as it explains alot more about things and has extra scenes which are worth watching.
Awesome thanks for the advice!! I definitely agree this movie was awesome!!
That special edition has many pluses and one big minus. Almost every scene that was cut that was re-inserted for the special edition adds to the movie. Questions about why certain characters are having the reactions they are get answered, and in general it's just good stuff. However, there's a scene early on (I don't want to be too specific for obvious reason) that completely spoils the tension of the first hour of the movie, and was rightly cut from the film for the theatrical version. I always recommend watching the theatrical version first, then going back later and seeing the special edition.
If only there was a version that had everything in the special edition except that one scene....
1. Ripley says, "You'll get what's coming to you." is prophetic.
2. There's a COC in the civilian world too. Cooperation wanted access to the Alien.
That becomes more clear in the second one.
3. Dallas/Tom Skerritt also played in "Top Gun" as Viper and "Up in Smoke" as Strawberry to name a couple.
4. That was the nastiest explosion I've ever seen. It wasn't just iron ore.
5. The tag line for this film was "In space noone can hear you scream"
6. The hanging bodies Ripley sees near the end was not in the original release.
Awesome facts!! Thank you!
Fun thing: the script specified that Ripley be played by an unknown (this _is_ goddess Sigourney Weaver's *first* movie). All the rest of the crew were well-known actors at the time.
Idea being: audiences would never expect Ripley to be the sole survivor.
Try his is such a cool fact!! I hadn’t realized this was Sigourney Weavers first film!! That’s actually a really good approach!
@@TaraTunesIn Tbf, she had bit parts in 2 other movies before and a couple TV shows...so not technically her first movie. Just correcting myself, sorry.
11:20 "It's on his face!" You could say, it's hugging it. Because, you know, he loves him...
Loll I really don’t think that’s what’s happening here 😂
@@TaraTunesIn definitely is - it even hugs him tighter when they try to take it off! 😁
ET: likes the company of some people, and Reese’s Pieces.
Xenomorph: likes tearing some people from The Company to pieces.
Hahahah exactly.
I really enjoyed the contrast between Lambert and Ripley. It really helped Ripley to seem the badass to compare her against Lambert. Ripley is a texbook example of how to make a good strong female character.
Yes!!! I agree! In that respect Lambert was very useful… in ONLY that respect 😂
Although if they’d listened to Lambert they’d never have found the eggs :)
That is a good example of how a gov or big corp force some illegal alien into a spaceship.
I love watching people react to this movie! It's fun watching people see it for the first time. Alien first came out when I was only 8 or 9 so there was nobody taking me to the theater for it! So I finally got ahold of the book when I was 11. (Being an advanced reader with a dictionary in my hands....) I think the alien was probably 10 times scarier in the book because I only had my 11 year old's imagination to tell me what it looked like. I remember being so scared I was having trouble breathing! But did I put the book down? No way! I had to see what happened! lol. Needless to say, this whole Alien storyline is very near and dear to my heart! I hope you watch all the movies! A lot of people bash the sequels, but I think they're all amazing. Have fun reacting and reviewing! 💜💜
Wow that’s awesome!!! I really appreciate the power of a good book and a healthy imagination!!! I will definitely continue on with the alien movies!! I have to see for myself how I feel about the sequels :)
My reaction to Aliens is premiering this Saturday! (October 15th!)
@@TaraTunesIn I can't wait!
Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor - the greatest of the action-fiction genre! And, without a doubt, one of the most disgusting alien species ever created
21:05 "what is a cat doing in space?" Apparently you missed the earlier appearance of Jones the Cat in one of the scenes
I did! I don’t remember that at all!
22:25 That was the most realistic reaction of a cat on film.
😂😂
Great reaction! Now go see the second and last movie in the Alien franschise.
The Music was a rather large controversy between the Director Ridley Scott and Composer Jerry Goldsmith. In pre production, a "temp track" of musical cues is cut to the final product to give a composer the idea of the musical motif the director wants to convey. In the case of Alien, Scott picked tracks to one of Goldsmith's earlier films, his first Oscar nominated score to the 1962 film "Freud." Goldsmith composed a complete score to Alien complete with a unique theme and cues. Scott then bought the rights to use the Freud cues and mixed it with the score that Goldsmith composed along with moving the timing on the score to the point that it was completely changed. Then end title was lifted entirely from Harold Hanson's 3rd Symphony "The Romantic." Goldsmith was furious at the changes made without his consent or input, but there was nothing he could really do. In the end though, the score for Alien earned Goldsmith a Golden Globe for best Original Score.
My all time favorite movie; all of the tense uncomfortable atmosphere of Texas Chainsaw combined with the helpless cosmic horror of Lovecraft.
Haha I’ll take your word for it as I’ve never seen either of those films
Someone may have pointed this out already; I apologize if so. Another way in which this is a curious movie is that the main character does not emerge until halfway through. Until then it's very much an ensemble piece. All seven characters are unique individuals, different from one another. Parker grumbles about his pay and is something of a troublemaker. Brett is his sidekick, not saying much, but practical and hands-on. Ripley is the rational one, Dallas is the tired and impatient leader, Kane wants to explore, Lambert doesn't, and Ash is curiously emotionless. They are true characters; not cardboard cutouts. With the possible exception of Lambert we get to know them all equally well. Ripley's role is a bit more prominent, but not so much that we see "Hero" printed on her uniform. Until Dallas dies, she is very much part of the group. That's a long time with no obvious protagonist. Rather unusual for this type of film.
the thing to remember, is they're space truckers. the only reason they're doing this is they don't get paid if they don't. (and the company knew and wants to get the alien for the weapons division)
John Hurt who played the chest burster guy may also be seen (amongst many other films) as Mr Ollivander the wandmaker from Harry Potter.
Great movie. A classic
Liked, and "I'm still Sorry that I couldn't be here for this Premiere...I'd literally Lost My Internet like the day before!" 👍
I think you should watch the sequel, Aliens. (Forget the third and fourth sequels though.) Aliens isn't more of the same; it still has the same scary aliens but it changes the tone and dynamic from a gothic horror to an action movie.
100% agrees, watch Aliens and skip the other movies, it only ruin the first movies and bring nothing interesting to the franchise, only cash grab with Alien in the title.
Awesome! Looking forward to it!!
Watch Aliens, but DON'T skip the other movies! They're awesome!
On their own, If you consider them to be outside the franchise and not canon, maybe.
But let"s be honest, none of them was half as good as the first two.
Ripley tried to cancel the destruct because the alien was right next to the shuttle so she couldn't get past it to get on the shuttle.
So her choice was fight the alien or simply die when the ship explodes.
She chose to cancel the detonation to buy herself time to find another way.
Yep… I know lol I figured it out as I went..
@@TaraTunesIn Yeah.
Sometimes as I watch a reaction, when the reactor asks a question, I pause and answer it if I can.
Even if the the video is years old.
I entertain my brain with the idea that somebody in the future will watch the same reaction, have the same question, and read my comment.
Never gonna happen (at least that last bit) but I entertain myself with it anyway.
Thanks for sharing your reactions!
I know I am out-numbered, but Alien is still my favorite. Yes, I love it more than Aliens. It’s an “apples to oranges” comparison to me. I’m an older gal, and I really love the Cast. I grew up watching Veronica Cartwright (and her sister, Angela) on TV, Tom Skerritt is so handsome, and I just love them all. I stopped watching after Alien3. Way too graphic and violent for “wimpy” me. 😉
Awesome! I do get a lot of comments about Alien 2 being “better” or very different! It sounds to me like they’re pretty different movies, so your apples to oranges comment makes sense to me!! I am interested to keep going and see how I feel about them all!
@@TaraTunesIn I was actually mildly disappointed after watching "Aliens" in the theatre. Not that it's a bad film, but I really liked the more pronounced horror elements of the first film.
How about an Alien move actually based on true accounts (Travis Walton story)?!! The most slept on film ever!
" Fire in The Sky" (circa 93) 🔥
Hands down the best & most believable film on the topic! Saw this in the theater and had a serious impact on me.
Co Starring Robert Patrick (villiain T-1000 from Terminator 2).
(Currently free on You Tube!)
Alien was absolutely ground-breaking, and is an amazing suspenseful horror movie that stands the test of time (other than the computer being a bit outdated). An amazing movie. Aliens (aka Alien 2) is one of the best action-oriented science fiction movies ever made. If you watch the theatrical version it also has a great tension-filled build before the title critters make an appearance. Many reactors react to the Special Edition, which does include some great scenes that were cut, but also includes an early scene that completely spoils the tension of the first hour of the movie. My dream version would be the Special Edition without that scene.
Avoid any alien movies after Aliens. The third is a terrible movie and a slap in the face to anyone who liked the second movie, and the fourth is mostly rubbish (although there are some fun bits in it).
@@stevensauer8539 Why not a film actually based on true accounts?
" Fire in The Sky".
In 93 Groundhog Day was sold out do opted for this and still talking about it.
A cult classic.
Sigourney Weaver, my first childhood crush.🔥
Brilliant films, great reaction Tara.
Thanks so much I’m so glad you enjoyed this reaction!! Sigourney is amazing and gorgeous! It doesn’t surprise me one bit she was your crush!! :)
The creature was created by the famous Gothic painter H.R. Giger. Also you watched the extended cut, the original version doesn't have the scene with Dallas in the cocoon, and the first death is longer here. Just some of muh nerd facts. Until next time.
Hahah Sam B! Loving need facts over here! Keep ‘em coming!
Wonderful reaction Tara, I really enjoyed it so much I'm going to watch it again. Looking forward to more. take care. 🥰
Aw that’s awesome!! I hope you enjoy it the second time!!
Thanks so much for coming by to chat with me at the premier!!!
Every time I see this movie, I think "What idiot thought it would be a good idea to bring a cat?".
Hahah right!!!
Regarding *Aliens:* There's going to be a lot of people on here gushing about how great the director's cut is, and how it's the one you should watch. I'll be the dissenter here- For a first time viewing experience, I think the theatrical cut is better. The director's cut shows us a lot more, and in so doing, gives away too much too early, which diminishes the suspense and the impact of some of the reveals later in the movie. I always recommend watching the theatrical cut first, and the director's cut from then on. The director's cut gives you more details, but the theatrical cut has a greater impact.
Meanwhile, if you ever get to *Alien 3,* the assembly cut is the only way to go. The theatrical cut was so unwatchable, some people were saying it had killed the franchise. (Actually, it took *Alien: Covenant* to do that...)
Thanks for the suggestions! I haven’t decided which to watch, I have actually gotten quite a few suggestions for both versions!
Glad you appreciated this movie. It's one of my top favs. Please watch Aliens the sequel. When they talked about the freezers and freezing Kane etc, they are talking about the hypersleep chambers. Space travel in sci-fi movies always have a form of these sleeping chambers to put the person in a kind of suspended animation where you don't age. If they had put Kane in one, they could've made it back to Earth and he would've still had the thing on his face.
That’s a big plot hole, really… that Ash didn’t push for freezing Kane ASAP. That’s the safest, best, way to get the organism back home to the corporation. Once released and grown, what could have been the plan to accomplish his mission?
I wondered this myself… interesting
That was fun and tense. You seem a little bit poker-faced when it comes to not showing fear (apart from the bigger, more obvious jump-scare moments). I'm going to check if you have Aliens or The Thing. 👍
Spoiler alert...
.
.
.
.
but damn, gotta love the way that Kane's hands are still stitching. Brilliant performance.
I think Ripley slowed down to get the cat, because it was right there on the bridge, at that moment, with her. Also so was the cat carrier, which makes sense because at the end of the trip, you'd be on the bridge with the crew ready to disembark, you put the cat in the carrier then.
If Jones hadn't appeared in her sightline, she wouldn't have slowed down, and never looked back.
And then if that had happened, instead of people screaming, "WHY DID YOU GET THE CAT!?!?", everyone would have been screaming "OMG, YOU LEFT THE CAT TO DIE! HEARTLESS!!!"
Poor Ripley couldn't win this one.
In her shoes, like her, if the opportunity presented itself, yeah. I'd have grabbed the cat. And if the cat had not been there to grab, I'd have kept going and grieved later.
I totally see your point!! I guess I would have just had too much lingering concern that the cat could have an alien inside if it!
After all, she had no way of knowing where the crab alien went while they couldn’t find it, or whether it had more than one “implant” to deposit into a warm body… it could have easily suctions into Jones and implanted into him too!
Jones could have been incubating an alien when she brought him into the shuttle with her…
I’m sure if I saw the cat, I’d want to grab him too but I think I might hesitate if I realized that I can’t trust any other warm bodied creatures but myself to be free of alien embryos.. (maybe I can’t even trust myself? Kane had no idea there was something inside of him after all…)
@@TaraTunesIn those are good points. After the fact, given that the alien sniffed the cat carrier, and left it alone, it can be surmised that the cats small size made it impractical for an alien host. But that's AFTER the fact, so no way of knowing in the moment. Very true!
I Can't Lie About You Getting Scared During Horror Movies , But You Have My Sympathies 😏
Bahah thanks
@@TaraTunesIn welcome !! 👽🐲
Great reaction! You really need to watch the sequel, Aliens. It’s just as good as the first one. It’s a bit more action than horror, but still great.

I was 9 when my dad took me and my cousin to see this movie at the Drive-In. My cousin is still creeped out oy the Alien. haha
SIGNS 2002 will be fun for us to watch your reaction, it is most likely the kind of alien film you are actually afraid of,
I haven’t seen it so I’ll definitely have to add it to the list!
@jenna nichelle carrington I cried at the end of SIGNS. mainly because its so creepy and tense the whole movie, then they throw this heartwarming emotional ending. It's very well written.
There's a cat on a spaceship to catch rats. If you don't think rats can worm their way onto a spaceship you are what we call an optimist.
When you watch Aliens (if you haven't already watched it yet) there is a end credit scene but it's audio only so you listen very carefully
Oh cool thanks! I will try to remember to listen for it!
Oh .... oh. Poor Tara ... THIS GONNA BE FUN XD
😂
Great reaction alien is such a great film that stands the test of time . It’s hard to believe it came out in 1979 . I remember when it came out it was like no other space movie
There is a 3 hour documentary called “the beast within”. Which is about the making of Alien
Also this helps explain why it is so good.
“Alien the horror you do see” th-cam.com/video/c5MH6TGF_nU/w-d-xo.html
Nice thanks! I’ll check it out!
Love your reaction already :] alien is one of the best movies ever imo. Its perfectly paced, cinematic... and genuinely scary because for all we know this could actually happen. Who knows whats out there 😆
Yeah you’re so right!! No one actually knows!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed the reaction! :)
That was fun Tara some of my favorite movies and I definitely agree with you about spiders disappearing when falls behind something completely unnerving and freaks me out 😆 🤣 Keep up the terrific work 👌 👏 👍
Thank you!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video!! :)
4:42 MU-TH-UR 6000, or "MOTHER" for short is the Nostromo's central computer/operating system/AI.
Mother minded the ship while the crew were in hyper-sleep on their return to Earth with their payload of ore.
Whoop whoop
Love the reaction yo

Hi Sam!!!

I so appreciate you liking, sharing, subscribing, AND commenting!!! It helps me SO MUCH!! So happy to have you along! :)
Aliens is.... different 😁
One of the scariest films ever made shocking tbh. I watched this far too young was a mistake because it scared the hell out of me Lol. A masterpiece way ahead of it's time.
That’s what happened with me and the exorcist! Far far too young! I closed my eyes through the whole thing and still had nightmares!!
Another classic. Great job 🔍
Ridley Scott also did Thelma & Louise, would be a good one to check out!
10:01 🤣🤣
great reaction, thoughtful edit. i need a slow clip to appreciate all that. 👍🏼
Great reaction as always 👽
That cat was totally working with the Alien.
(8K]_/
The Company intentionally chose a crew of inexperienced and non-military people to investigate the alien transmission because the Company did not want a smart crew who could kill the Alien.
Space balls has got a lot to answer for. Lol
The sequel is even better Tara!!!
31:20, yeah, you'd want to make the self-destruct system at least a *little* bit complicated.
It wouldn't be useful or helpful if someone could trip over a bit of bent grating and go "OOPS!!! I JUST DETONATED THE ENGINES!!!" :P
I doubt the designers of the Nostromo had a contingency of a hostile alien lifeform killing the crew in mind when they had it installed.
The alien seems less scary when you know that the alien slime is actually KY jelly and the aliens head is modelled after a p3n1s.
after Aliens ( # 2 ) I'd suggest the only other Alien flick' to watch is 'Prometheus' which is kinda the first part of the Alien story - I like it, other folks don't.
Hello Tara,
How about an Alien move actually based on true accounts (Travis Walton story)?!! The most slept on film ever!
" Fire in The Sky" (circa 93) 🔥
Hands down the best & most believable film on the topic! Saw this in the theater and had a serious impact on me.
Co Starring Robert Patrick (villiain T-1000 from Terminator 2).
(Currently free on You Tube!)
Love your reactions!
Thank you!!!
Really GREAT REACTION!!!
Thank you!!! :)
8:38 "Obviously alien lifeforms are not rare in this scenario."
Actually they are.
Putting together many clues from 10 movies and some comics, I'm fairly confident that this is extremely rare.
So rare that it might be the first time any human has seen any alien spaceship ever.
We know that some colonization of other planets has begun.
We know that humans have found alien life on some planets, but we're talking insects and animals.
I don't know for 100% sure that humans have never found an intelligent species of aliens zipping around space in the Millennium Falcon, but it's heavily implied in many movies that we have not.
That said.
This was the movie that started it all.
There were no other movies or comics before they made this one.
So Ridley Scott was just making things up as we go.
I don't think he wanted to extend the runtime with long conversations about winning the Nobel prize for finding an alien spacecraft.
I'm not even sure he had it firmly in his head that this was the first one.
These facts were established in later sources that didn't exist when this movie was made.
So for me, knowing what I know, I accept that this is the first time mankind has found an alien spacecraft and this is the first time any human being has seen a sentient, intelligent, spacefaring alien species - but it's just the bones of one of them.
Yeah, even in this franchise, Dutch, Lt. Mike, and Naru have all seen a spacefaring alien in 3 movies that take place before this movie, but their stories are untold so nobody knows about them.
I accept that any random chatter they have about "This is amazing" and "We're the first ever" and "We're all gonna be famous" and all that other stuff people might say when finding the first alien ship ever wasn't important enough to drag out the runtime and dilute the creepy, eerie, suspenseful atmosphere that Ridley Scott was trying to create.
I assume that chatter happened off-camera.
As much as this movie has a cult following today certain people have always wondered about one thing thats odd in this whole scenario- the Cat 'Jonesy'. It may not seem quite a concern at first but you gotta wonder, what company gave the clearance to have a stray animal on board a space mining vessel. There's a special short feature film called Alien: Specimen which is near movie level production that had a Dog which turned out to be...a synthezoid robot. If Weyland corp can manufacture human androids surely it can do the same to manufacture animal counterparts. My crazy theory is the 'Cat synthezoid' was deliberately placed there as some sort of monitor/surveillance that can relay Data back to Weyland corp who probably have been seeing all the events of the circumstances in Nostromo. Which could explain the scenario of its sequel...where the Cat is seen for the last time & never heard of again in the franchise.
Interesting theory!!! I havent seen the sequel yet ut I will keep this in mind as I am watching! I do think having an artificial cat in space would be much more practical!
15:21 called it 📞
Funny how easily people forget that these people, with the exception of Ash, aren't scientists. They're space truckers. Then they say "these scientists are stupid". 🙄
Lol I’m not a scientist either but I wouldn’t have let it on the ship 😂
A mushroom with legs....hahah...
I have seen this film many times.....never noticed that.....great reaction...
Thank you!!!
You are going to love Aliens.... a very great sequel
I’m excited for it!!!
Hey Tara. Great reaction. You had just about the same look on your face as I would have
Great Reaction Vid!
If Alien abductions really freaks you out, watch " The Fourth Kind." I think you'll dig it.
Awesome thanks! I will add it to the list... in case I get the guts to watch something like that hahah
don't forget to watch the "extented cut/special edition" for its sequel "ALIENS" which is the best in the entire franchise and is as scary and stressful as the first one :)
Ripley is a totAL LegEnd!!! Who else could play that character today?
15:14 sounds like a "time to move" type situation to me. 🙂
Yes!! I’m with you!
Great movie 📼
make sure to watch the 'special edition' of Aliens.
If you thought you were afraid of aliens before this movie...
I like how you whisper as if you think the xenomorph might hear you...
😂 well it might!!
@@TaraTunesIn in space, no one can hear you scream...
