Hey I don't really see a link to your brother's channel in the description. But I do see it listed at 0:26 into the video so I went there and watched Aliens. Subscribed to him too so he can hit 1000 soon!
ever since I saw it back in 1979 when I was 15, periodically I have dreams of the sets, not the alien itself, as if I was on the ship. same thing with Blade Runner, I sometimes have dreams of the sets there too.
The late but AMAZING Ron Cobb did the sets for the Nostromo whereas Giger (pronounced 'geeg-er') did everything having to do with the Alien except the chestburster which was done by Roger Christian. Giger's attempt looked like a plucked turkey according to Scott. LOL
I saw it when it was first released. They had an excellent marketing plan. The commercils advertising the movie only showed one of those eggs with outer space in the background. The voice over only said, "In space, no one can hear you scream". I had no idea what the movie was about but had to see it anyway. Scared the crap out of me. It set the standard for all future syfi moves.
I think the John Hurt character gets up first because he has the most 'get up and go'. He’s the pioneering type, the one who volunteers to be in the first group that goes out, who says 'we have to go on' when approaching the alien spacecraft, the one impelled by curiosity to go down and explore the egg chamber… Consistent character development, which is one of the keys to the movie's credibility. They are believable human types.
The Alan Dean Foster novelization describes Cain's drive to always be first and to keep going on, as his lust for riches. When Cain volunteers to be the first group to go out Dallas replies, "Yeah, that figures" because he knows Cain all too well.
You misunderstood the self-destruct countdown. When Ripley activated it, it started a ten minute countdown, however for the first five minutes, it could be overridden and canceled. When she saw that the alien was blocking the way to the shuttle, she went back and tried to turn it off, but she waited too long. When the computer is counting down the last few seconds, it's counting how much time is left to override the self-destruct. When Ripley misses the deadline by a few seconds, it starts counting down the final five minutes until detonation.
For most of you reading this, there is probably a retro cinema near you that screens a classic movie series and shows "Alien" and the sequel "Aliens" as a double-teature. I have watched that experience and both movies are spectacular on the big screen and with the theater sound. Also, did you notice Sir Ian Holm as Ash who was also Bilbo Baggins? RIP the acting legend.
We ended up watching Aliens shortly after this one - it was amazing!! Ruben actually just posted our reaction to his channel (I added the link to our description above). Anyway, thanks so much for subscribing! :)
28:30 "What's the point?" Burial. For thousands of years, sailors have "buried" their dead crewmates at sea by basically tossing them overboard (usually with a bit of a funeral ceremony, of course). These guys are just sailors in the ocean of space and they are giving their fallen crewmate the space variation of a "burial at sea".
True. Plus, having more than a hundred pounds of rotting meat and viscera lying-around tends to be very bad for recycled atmosphere. They could theoretically have stowed his body in his cryo-chamber (although we don't know how those operate, so they may not be appropriate for non-living material), but it's important to remember that these are just "space truckers", not scientists or explorers. They're just trying to finish their shift, get paid, and go home. Nobody paid to train them for anything but their very-specific role in hauling ore through space. All of this is way-above their pay-grade, part of an obscure clause in their contract that everyone going to space presumably signed (in the same way that any ship at-sea would be legally expected to respond to a distress call) but that had never, ever actually come into function before (as far as we know, anyway; what the Company knew about the Alien, and when they knew it, is a big question here. Remember that we're dealing with interstellar distances, so MOTHER is just their onboard computer with all the data it was given before they left. There's no way to talk to anyone over such vast distances without huge delays; even sending a message from Mars to Earth takes about 8 minutes. That also means that "Special Order 937" and Ash as a plant happened before the Nostromo ever left Earth).
@@michaelccozens I agree with almost everything you said. However, I'm fairly sure that any ship captain already has training, orders, and opinions about how to handle something like a crew member dying. Try it. Earth has ships. Tanker and cargo ships are basically "sea trucker". Ask some of those captains if they already know what to do and have plans in place for the death of a crewmember at sea. They do.
Even in the present day, burial at sea ceremonies can be done per request of an active duty or retired naval crewman upon their death. It may have been a similar last request of the futuristic space crewman to be buried in the depths of space upon his passing.
@@uffdad8211 Even in our reality, many dozens of people have had remains "buried in space", mostly in orbit, some are on the moon, and at least 1 is on a deep space probe flying out of our solar system.
I saw this 2nd day in theaters when i was 14 with my friend 15 and his 6'4" ex Marine Vietnam Vet stepdad. The line went around the building and i remember it was hot day. A lot of people were expecting a Star Wars type film and were pretty shocked when it wasn't. When the Alien burst out of Kane's chest my friend's stepdad walked out and waited for us in the lobby. He wasn't alone in walking out after that scene.
Ohhh thanks for these recommendations!! We actually ended up watching Aliens right after this one. It was incredible! Ruben actually just posted our reaction to his channel (I linked it in our description above :)
The guy who plays the Alien was called Bolaji Badejo. He was a 6 feet 10 inch tall visual artist, who was spotted in a London pub by the casting director, and offered the part.
You guys misunderstood the self-destruct. At 41:50 you see and mother say the ship will self destruct in 10 minutes. Then you guys started talking and missed when mother said "The option to override detonation expires in 5 minutes" - all you heard was the last two words and you thought she only had 5 minutes left. She still had 10 minutes until detonation, but only 5 minutes to cancel it. Again at 42:55 you hear "Option to override destruction expires in 1 minute" and assume she has only 1 minute left to escape. She still has 6 minutes. Why is she trying to stop it? She couldn't get into the shuttle because the alien was in the way. So she tried to stop the destruction so she could hide and wait for it to go away or go to sleep, then she could try again. But she was too late. At 43:40 Mother says " The ship will self-destruct in 5 minutes." You said "She got another 5 minutes" but no, it's the same 5 minutes she always had (it started at 10 minutes and now it's down to 5). She just no longer has the option to cancel the self-destruct so now she must get to the shuttle, even if the alien is still in the way.
YES!! That (among other comments - like "was he like that the whole time?" - about Ash being a robot) drove me nuts. I mean, I get it, you miss things during a movie, but they must have talked so much they missed so much of the detail.
Yeah, it's not made explicitly clear, but the "self-destruct" here is actually just turning-off the cooling system to the ship's nuclear reactor. Once the nuclear pile reacts a certain temperature, there's no way to stop the positive-feedback loop of increased temperature increasing reactivity, which increases temperature, which increases reactivity, etc. The ship's just a bomb at that point, with no way to defuse it.
@@i_love_rescue_animals I think part of that is some people aren't "sci fi" people. Some of the tropes that we take for granted and as SO well known, are unknown concepts to others.
One thing I love about "Alien" is it makes use of the common Sci-fi trope that scientists are unreliable as loyal members of the group. They have the scientific perspective, which, since Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", has been viewed with suspicion by folk culture.
Much like how T2 Judgement Day takes The Terminator to another level Aliens does the same for this movie. Both movies were directed by James Cameron and even today the special effects and action sequences are amongst the best Hollywood has ever done. 😊
True. Kane's also right, though; contractually, they can't leave without discovering the source of the transmission, at least not without forfeiting all their shares for the current job and probably being black-balled from any future employment in the field. There's a lot of discussion around the "hyper-corp" future of Alien, where the massive Weyland-Yutani multinational essentially rules the entire planet, with governments serving more as unofficial arms of the firm. Very similar, historically, to the corporate/governmental dynamics in so-called "banana republics", or to our apparent current relationships with state-protected monopolies in all but name, like Boeing.
The actors knew what was going to happen with the chest burst but they were not told about how much blood would come out. Great reaction can’t wait for your reaction to Aliens Also would love to see your reaction to Crocodile Dundee, fantastic Australian scenery
Ohh interesting about what the actors didn't know - that must've been terrifying! Also - we LOVED Aliens! Ruben just posted our reaction to it in his channel (I added the link to our description above).
Actually, I thought they didn't even know about the chest burst, but just "something" was going to happen to Cain, because Ridley Scott wanted a real reaction. Even one actor slipped and fell on the blood (in the background).
@@i_love_rescue_animals An extremely common (and annoying) misconception. They'd read the script and knew about it. The OP is correct - it's the amount of blood they had no idea about. There is an outtake of Veronica Cartwright slipping on the blood and her boots going up in the air.
Highly recommend that all 3 of you check out District B13. This is an amazing French action film. Don't worry about reading the Subtitles, this film is the Ultimate in He Man films. Thet didn't bother hiring actors, they just had the stuntmen do the lines.
Still one of my favorite movies of all time. My best friend's dad took me and him to see this in '79 when it was new (right around my 15th birthday!) All we knew about it was: "In space no one can hear you scream." I still love that! My friend's dad had this to say as we came out of the theater: "Mild fright..." We laughed at him because he was visibly shaken. He was an Episcopal Priest and probably had an interesting sermon that week. I didn't go to the service so idk and never asked. lol Now all of these actors have been in SO many movies, including many movies I like. Kane is John Hurt - Ollivander the Wandmaker in the Harry Potter films. Brett is Harry Dean Stanton -- Toot the trustee in The Green Mile. Captain Dallas is Tom Skerritt; in Up In Smoke he is Cheech's cousin Strawberry. Lambert played by Veronica Cartwright was Gus Grissom's wife in The Right Stuff (her little sister Angela played Penny Robinson in the original TV Lost in Space). Parker is Yaphet Kotto; also Mr. Big/Dr. Kananga in the Bond 007 film Live and Let Die. Sigourney Weaver is Ripley of course in all the original Aliens movies; she's also in Galaxy Quest, Dave, and in Avatar as Dr. Grace Augustine. Finally Ash was played by Ian Holm -- the one and only Bilbo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. So today, I always paraphrase Parker's line in this movie after Ash's reveal: "A robot! Bilbo Baggins is a goddamned robot!" 🤣
Hey, Ruben, Daisy and Ivy! I tried posting this under the "Aliens" reaction on Ruben's channel but it never appeared so I'm posting it here and under the "Alien" reaction so you can see it! This is one of the best sequels ever made! Don't stop here! Please react to the SPECIAL EDITION aka ASSEMBLY CUT of "Alien 3"! Many will attempt to dissuade you but it is essential and iconic! Unfortunately, you didn't see the superior SPECIAL EDITION version which has the Amanda Ripley scene, the functioning colony scene, Newt's family's discovery of the derelict ship scene, the automated gun scene, the Hudson speculation about queen ants scene and the name exchange scene. Those scenes provide a great deal more context and character beats lacking in the theatrical cut. It is the version both James Cameron and Sigourney Weaver prefer. The future Ripley inhabits is implied to be a dystopic corporatocracy. The most pervasive and powerful corporate entity is the Weyland-Yutani Company, a 22nd-century version of the British East India Company of the 17th- to 19th-centuries. It is a multinational conglomerate involved in robotics, interstellar transport and terraforming with a stake in every colony world. The Company is the TRUE VILLAIN of the Alien universe. Ash and Burke were following a secret corporate mandate to obtain a xenomorph specimen in order to profit from research and weaponization. The colonists who venture beyond the compound like Newt's parents are prospectors who can lay a claim to any discovery they make. The Company would get a large percentage of the find but the colonist would own a piece. A valuable ore would mean a fortune! After Burke heard Ripley's story, he contacted the colony boss to dispatch someone to the coordinates Ripley had indicated in her report with no warning of danger. He must have done a little digging and found out about the Company Directive to investigate any possible sign of intelligent life and to bring back a specimen. He sent Newt's family straight to the derelict ship. Neither Hicks nor Apone were treating Ripley in a sexist manner when she offered to help prep. They regarded her as a civilian. They were both accustomed to females in their unit such as medic Dietrich, pilot Ferro and heavy-gunner Vasquez. When she demonstrates her proficiency with the loader, they were laughing good-naturedly at her bravado and their own underestimation of her abilities. Some trivia: The picture of Ripley's elderly daughter in the Special Edition is actually Sigourney Weaver's real-life mother! The late Al Matthews, who played Sgt. Apone, was a true-blue Marine who was the first black man to be promoted to Sergeant in the Corps during his service in Vietnam! The knife-trick scene was originally supposed to be performed by Lance Henriksen alone but he convinced director James Cameron to surprise Bill Paxton by involving him as they shot the scene! Paxton's wide-eyed terror is completely real! Fan favorite Vasquez is played by non-Hispanic Jenette Goldstein! She goes out like a warrior and enables Gorman to reclaim his honor. Ms. Goldstein now is the proprietress of a Los Angeles-based boutique that specializes in bespoke large-size bras! The motto of her company is, "At Jenette's, the alphabet begins with 'D'."! Bishop's programming to not harm humans or allow them to come to harm through inaction is ripped straight from Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics! Carrie Henn, who played Newt, never acted again but became a schoolteacher. She still maintains a correspondence relationship with Sigourney Weaver thirty-eight years later. The late Bill Paxton, who is one of two actors in the cast who have the distinction of being attacked on screen by an Alien, a Terminator and a Predator, will NEVER be forgotten for his reading of the line, "Why don't you put HER in charge?", referring to little Newt in her oversized helmet. Lol. The other cast member to share the sci-fi monster trifecta distinction is Lance Henriksen who played Bishop. Ripley girding herself for battle by strapping on all her weapons and gear is an homage to Sylvester Stallone's John Rambo in "Rambo: First Blood Part 2". Audiences at the time immediately recognized the visual grammar of the scene and called it Ripley's Rambo moment! "ALIEN 3: ASSEMBLY CUT" is a DIVISIVE film but it's an EXCELLENT entry in the series. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU SEE IT!!! Many will try to dissuade you but it is ESSENTIAL VIEWING! It's directed by David Fincher and features Charles Dance and Charles Dutton. It's brutal, fast-paced, has a solid cast, has some extraordinary scares, provides new insight into the creature, presents a fascinating dilemma and concludes the trilogy elegantly. It even has an iconic scene that became EMBLEMATIC of the entire franchise! I strongly encourage you NOT TO SKIP IT! Make sure you see the ASSEMBLY CUT (Special Edition with longer runtime). It is available on Redbox, Prime and right here on YT. "Alien Resurrection" is the optional one because it's a hot mess except for one cool aquatic sequence. The ambitious prequels, "Prometheus" and "Covenant", mark director Ridley Scott's return to the series but they are mostly good JUST for Michael Fassbender's performances. Scott demystifies the creature and unsatisfyingly attempts to address who the elephant-headed pilot of the derelict spacecraft was. A new interquel directed by Fede Alvarez called "Alien: Romulus" will be released later this year.

Thanks for the background info into the movie and actors...also we have already reacted to Alien 3 which will come out in the next few days. We will see after that if we take on the other movies 😀
I really felt like Alien Resurrection (A4) was an attempt to re-energize the series with Winona Ryder as the new protagonist. That was my take when I saw it in the theater. Obviously that plan (if it was a plan) failed with the film's lackluster performance.
Awesome choice, I lost it when your brother said " oh they have good suits" buahahaha. He's a terrible man lol. That's when I knew this was going to be good. When I first watched this on VHS I was sitting on the couch with my sister. Neither one of us has our feet on the ground the entire movie. This was high suspense back then. Can't wait for your reaction to the next one lol
Wow - I felt like these are high suspense today - I can't imagine watching back then. Ivy and I were terrified! lol But it was SO much fun to watch with my brother! We ended up watching Aliens right after this, and he actually just posted our reaction on his channel. (I just added the link to our description above!)
Aliens was incredible!! We watched it right after this one, and Ruben actually just posted our reaction on his channel (linked it in the description above)! Definitely check it out 😬
Great reactions, as two of you mentioned, Ivy's instincts were on point, in this film, you'd wanna stick close with her if you ever find yourself in a similar situation, i.e., in deepspace with a murderous alien. 😏🖖
"Alien": A group of relative youngsters are boarding the "Nostromo." What will they make of this "old, long, slow moving, character-centered, no-DFX" movie? Nothing like having a mix of naive and experienced viewers.;) The Company is sending the equivalent of a freighter crew to "do science" on an unexplored planet!
14:10 "No, don't go on, go back and hide." Well, maybe not. These guys are near the end of a 4 year job. They don't get paid until they get back to Earth. If they don't investigate this signal, they lose their entire pay. Could you live for 4 years with no pay? What would you do, what might you risk, to keep your boss or government from taking 4 years of your salary away from you? Besides that, in this cinematic universe, mankind has never found a sentient alien species. Just a few bugs or small animals on a few planets; nothing that can make a spaceship or send a signal. Imagine being the first person to ever see an alien ship, explore it, bring back some new technology. Instant fame, and probably instant wealth. I wouldn't hesitate.
I was 13 when Alien came out. My parents and sister went to a weekend matinee to go see the 4PM Saturday show on opening weekend. It scared the wholly crap out of both my sister and me. Alien & Aliens are two of my goto Halloween movies. It was 7 years between Alien and Aliens (79 & 86)
Wow! That must've been awesome (and of course terrifying) to watch as a kid! I couldn't wait to watch Aliens, we ended up watching it right after this one. It was amazing. Ruben actually just posted our reaction to his channel!
@DailyDaisiesTV Once the lights came on, it was just a great experience. My sister swore off horror movies after that, and because she was always teasing me (being 5 years older), I made it my mission to see how badly I could scare her. 😁
If you guy's are on a Sci-fi run i can give you a short list😉... "Star gate", "Water world", & "The fifth element". "Mad max"{The original trilogy}, "Escape from new york" & "Escape from L.A.", "Batteries not included", "Andromeda Strain", "Solaris"{2001} & "Flight of the navigator" are all great 👍 P.s. "Jones" the cat has his own short comic!
Hey, Daisy, Ivy and Ruben! This is one of the greatest and most influential horror films of all time! I prefer the original THEATRICAL CUT you saw because I feel it's paced better and lacks a scene which contradicts the sequel. However, the Director's Cut boasts a moment when Veronica Cartwright smacks the cr@p out of Sigourney Weaver which definitely SHOULD HAVE BEEN in the Theatrical Cut! Despite preferring the Theatrical Cut for the first movie, there is ABSOLUTELY NO QUESTION that you must watch the SPECIAL EDITION with longer runtime of the sequel, "ALIENS"!!!!!!! There are critical additional scenes that add context to the movie and it is the version director James Cameron and Sigourney Weaver themselves prefer. Director Ridley Scott kept the entire cast in the dark about the famous CHESTBURSTING scene except for John Hurt. Their reactions were absolutely genuine and mirrored the audience's response! Veronica Cartwright got sprayed by fake blood and fell over backward. They only filmed the scene twice. It remains one of the most ICONIC IN CINEMA HISTORY! The PACING is deliberately slow at the beginning to acquaint the audience with the ship's geography, to demonstrate authentic-looking space travel and maneuvers, to familiarize the audience with the crew, to establish the threat posed by the creature and to generate suspense with the mystery of the derelict craft. There's a lot of rich character humor and foreshadowing in those crew interaction scenes as well as a subtext about this future society being a corporate dystopia. "Alien" is set in the year 2122. This movie and "Star Wars" changed the future aesthetic from antiseptic cleanliness to lived-in, worn-out dinginess. The smoking is meant to convey that space travel has become commonplace enough that it is the province of workaday laymen. The Swiss artist, H.R. GIGER, who designed the xenomorph, tapped into insectoid and reptilian features that evoke primal fear. His artwork is very bizarre, erotic and has a distinctive look called Giger-esque. The final product is an iconic movie monster that is pure NIGHTMARE FUEL! The creature's life-cycle and biology is explored throughout the series. By the way, the alien's retractable inner jaw is found in nature in a deep-sea fish! THE WEYLAND-YUTANI COMPANY is an international conglomerate involved in robotics, interstellar travel and terra-forming. They have a stake in every colony world and are basically the 22nd-century version of the British East India Company of the 17th- to 19th-centuries. They are a ruthless corporation looking to exploit or weaponize the xenomorph for profit regardless of the negative consequences. The Company is the TRUE VILLAIN of all the Alien movies. In the "AvP" films, you actually meet the company founders before their merger, Mr. Weyland and Ms. Yutani. This crew is not a group of explorers, scientists or colonists. They're just SPACE TRUCKERS hauling rocks. This was a First Contact situation they were wholly unqualified for. Hence, all the bumbling and bad judgment calls. Their chief concerns were company policy and pay inequity. Ripley was the only one with the willingness to make difficult command decisions that would have saved all their lives except for Kane's had she not been undermined by Ash. Of course, Ash was privy to a secret corporate mandate. Like most Captains, Dallas had an inherently CALM DEMEANOR. By minimizing the situation, it prevents both him and the crew from panicking. You can tell he's very worried because he seeks counsel from Mother. He also acknowledges his culpability for the predicament by preventing Ripley from volunteering to go into the shafts and by shouldering that burden himself. He accepted this task not even knowing if fire would be effective! His last act is a rather valiant gesture and I always feel bad for him despite his initial missteps. Parker is MY FAVORITE supporting character! Yaphet Kotto played him to the hilt! He's the blue collar EVERYMAN who just cares about payday and who enjoys deliberately antagonizing his superiors but ends up sacrificing himself for a fellow employee. He's also the only one who made a move on the chestburster before being stopped by Ash! Some viewers strongly believe the alien raped Lambert! This is nonsense. The PREHENSILE TAIL probably drew her closer to itself so it could mouth-punch her with the retractable jaw. Those viewers aren't mistaken for perceiving phallic eroticism, though, as that was Scott's intent. The giant elephant-headed alien pilot of the derelict spacecraft is one of the GREAT MYSTERIES of the franchise. Was he a zoologist, a bio-warfare specialist, an exterminator, a trader in exotic organisms, a waste disposal tech or a trucker like Ripley's crew? No one knows. Sigourney Weaver became a FEMINIST ICON because of this movie. Ripley is one in a long line of strong female characters that have been showcased in sci-fi and fantasy dating back to Edgar Rice Burroughs' Dejah Thoris, the Princess of Mars, in 1912! There's not a man I know who wouldn't follow Ripley into hell. You must see the SPECIAL EDITION of "Aliens" and the ASSEMBLY CUT of "Alien 3" because those versions greatly enhance both films. If you intend to see the "ALIEN vs. PREDATOR" films, then you need to acquaint yourself with the PREDATOR franchise. The first is an action classic with Schwarzenegger. Danny Glover's underrated urban-set "Predator 2" features some memorable set pieces. Dark Horse comics explored the crossover concept inspiring Hollywood to make two crossover films with moderately successful to excellent results. They're fun and exciting guilty pleasures with the second one, "ALIENS vs. PREDATOR: REQUIEM", being particularly lean and mean. There is also a "PREDATORS" film produced by Robert Rodriguez that is definitely worth a look. "THE PREDATOR" (2018) REBOOT, however, should be considered extremely optional as it nearly killed the franchise! "PREY" is an excellent 18th-century-set prequel to the original film that was released on Hulu! The Alien films have a RICHER SUBTEXT while the Predator films are more ACTION FARE but they're both fun sci-fi thrillers.

Wow thanks for all this background info! Super interesting. We actually ended up watching Alien and Aliens back-to-back, and I believe we ended up watching the theatrical cut for both. (Ruben actually just posted Aliens on his channel this morning! :). I'm definitely going back and watching the director's cut though - thanks for the suggestion!
you guys need to rewatch this. i mean i know its a reaction video, but yall ( yes, im cajun) miss a lot of important points while yall are talking. not trying to criticize. just making an observation. :) for instance, when ripley set the self destruct, a 10 minute countdown started. BUT she had a 5 minute window to CANCEL the self destruct, which she missed by mere seconds. after that she still had 5 minutes to reach the shuttle and get to a safe distance.
No, no, no. Never don't save the cat: didn't you see that Jonesy knows when the Alien is around? If Brett had paid attention, he might have lived a bit longer; if Ripley wondered why Jonesy was growling in the shuttle, she might have realized the Alien is there. Plus. It's Jonesy! You must save Jonesy, just on his own merits. Always, always, always save the cat (or other pet, for that matter).
Not that it matters much, but: Venus is a rocky planet like the one they landed on, with a toxic and corrosive atmosphere. Venus has no rings. Saturn is all gas except for a core deep inside made mostly of molten metal - there is nothing to land on or walk on. The planet they landed on in the movie is not a planet; it's a moon orbiting a gas giant like Saturn. It's only called LV-426 (in the next movie, not this one) so it doesn't have a classical name in the movies, but in the novel it is named Acheron. It is smaller than earth but just about as massive so gravity is nearly the same. There is obviously an atmosphere but it is not safe for humans to breathe. It is located in the Zeta Reticuli star system, nearly 40 light years from earth. The planet is fictional but the star is real. In fact, it's two stars, a binary star system, bright enough that you can see them without a telescope. You're talking about being "in our universe." The universe is everything. Billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars. Our galaxy is the Milky Way, which has about 100 billion stars. Our sun is one of those stars. Zeta Reticuli is two more of those stars, very very close to us. Our star (the sun) is called Sol and has a Solar System consisting of 8 planets. Earth is the 3rd planet and Saturn in the 6th planet om this Solar System. All of this is contained within our one and only universe (that we know of - if there are other universes, we cannot see them or detect them).
Aliens is my fave sci fi and of course I always watch Alien first .. I'm an aussie, grew up in melb and have lived in Western Australia now for almost 19yrs.. has Ruben reacted to any aussie movies? and if so which ones and if not why not? haha.. look forward to your reaction to Aliens (1986) I was 14 when Alien was released but I can't remember exactly when I seen it, probably around 17 and I seen Aliens when it was released and still love it.
I agree, Aliens was amazing which was set up by the origin story in Alien. In regards to Aussie movies, I have reacted to Talk to Me recently which was an awesome horror movie and am planning on reacting to Wolf Creek. If you have other Aussie movies you loved and if I haven't seen them I would be happy to add them to my list, thanks for sharing and your feedback 😀.
@@reactionswithruben There are some great Aussie movies .. The Castle, Chopper - Eric Bana does an amazing job as Mark Chopper Reid who was a notorious criminal, Eric is also in The Castle, Malcolm - a 1980's movie filmed in Melb, The Dish, Muriels Wedding has Toni Collette & Rachel Griffiths - that's a good one to watch with the girls, Red Dog, Rabbit Proof Fence, Crocodile Dundee just to name a few .. I haven't seen Talk to Me but I have seen Wolf Creek- John Jarret was well known for being on a kids show called Play School so to see him in Wolf Creek was unexpected to say the least haha
@@raelshodges8949 Thanks for the suggestions, I will add Chopper Reid and The Castle to my list and will see if I can get Daisy and Ivy on some of the others which i've seen 😀
K now it's over. Kane should have never been let on that ship. Can you imagine how bad things would have gotten if they froze him and got him to earth?
Ohhh interesting - I'm just getting familiar with this franchise, so didn't realize that was coming out soon! Thanks for sharing, and for watching with us!
Next is Aliens, which is arguably the greatest sequel and the greatest sci-fi a film ever made. Thats not to say anything bad about Alien as a sci-fi film. But Aliens is scary, philosophical and artistic like 2001, and its exciting and fun like Star Wars. And Aliens is the end of Ellen Ripleys saga. You really dont have to watch the next two movies.
Agreed - Aliens was amazing. We watched it shortly after this one. Ruben actually posted our reaction on his channel if you want to check it out (I linked it in the description). Anyway, thanks for watching this one with us!
Both Alien and the sequel Aliens are masterpieces, but unfortunately the franchise plummets in quality after that. The Alien creature (more commonly known as a xenomorph) will always be one of the best creature designs of all time though, even if it has appeared in some underwhelming movies.
Yes - we ended up watching Aliens after this one, and it was incredible! (Ruben just posted our reaction on his channel.) We also just watched Alien 3, but haven't gotten further than that yet. Not sure if we'll continue watching more, but between those 3 movies, my favorites are the first and second. Loved them!
@@DailyDaisiesTV I'm not sure what you thought of the 3rd movie, but as you said you're not sure if you're going to continue with the franchise, I'm guessing you weren't a fan. However, the 4th one (Alien: Ressurection) is nothing like the 3rd one and is more of an action movie, so I think you'd enjoy it way more than Alien 3.
That's what I keep hearing! I wasn't around when this movie came out, but the biggest reason is probably because I've never gotten into sci-fi or action or anything remotely close to those genres. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to those sort of movies, but I'm having a blast discovering them with this channel!
I have never yelled at a screen so much in my life! LOL. I know its a reaction but almost EVERY question you guys were asking was actually answered on screen but you were talking over it. I hate to say it, but Alien is a movie that needs you to PAY ATTENTION to it. A bit of a difficult movie to react to sometimes. And if you see Aliens GET THE EXPANDED EDITION. Trust me.
Obviously, one of best movies ever made. This movie is almost flawless. However, I do have one issue. I just want someone to explain to me the reasoning behind why they designed a ship, that carries 7 crew members or more, to have an escape shuttle that won't sustain any more than 2 crew members. What sense does this make? So if something happened to the ship, and the ship was about to self destruct, and they all had to escape on the shuttle........what......are they gonna draw straws or something to see which 2 get to go, and which 5 will stay behind and die????
From what I read somewhere, the ship is suppose to have two shuttles. It may have only one because of corporate negligence, budget cuts, what else. Maybe it's a Boeing type of situation. It's like the Titanic not carrying enough life boats.
@@kevinpogue7294 2 shuttles would still only be good for 4 people. And the main reason the Titanic didn't have enough lifeboats was because of aesthetics. They wouldn't have that problem on the Nostromo. They could care less about aesthetics. It's all practical. There's really no way to justify it. This is simply a plot hole by an otherwise almost perfect movie.
@@jeremybr2020Incorrect. The shuttle Narcissus had a standard crew capacity of three, but could be modified to seat more if necessary. Lore states that there was a second shuttle, the Salmacis, but was damaged in a loading accident over Thesus in 2122 and was not aboard when the Nostromo departed.
@@Hpynos2010 According to Ripley in the movie, she stated that the shuttle would not support 4 or more people. So apparently modifications weren't possible at that time. And if its as you say, that a second shuttle should've been available, but was damaged, then my whole point still stands. Why did 7 crew members go into space where escape, if necessary, would only be possible for 3 people? If the other shuttle was damaged, then get a different one.
I'm curious, do you love recommendations because I've some gems i'd love to share to others when it comes to movies. I've noticed not many people heard of these films and I don't want them to vanish into a void of unknown. Let me know Ive a list of horrors, fantasy theme, old animations , and even some films that have had a cult following until the franchise died or something toppled it.

H R Giger was the artist behind "the Alien" creature. It was inspired by nightmares that he would sketch out upon waking. Matthew 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. AND YOU THINK THIS IS JUST A MOVIE ? Revelation 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. 5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. REMEMBER THE SCENE WITH DALLAS SAYING "KILL ME"? 6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. 7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
Ivy has watched these already, but I (Daisy) just recently watched both for the first time, I have both reactions posted our the channel. Awesome movies!
love this movie! it still pisses me off that no one apologized to ripley for just trying to do her job and follow protocols. ESPECIALLY lambert. she got what she deserved for slapping ripley.
Now that you saw the brilliant Alien original screen adapt, NOW you should watch the 'Director's ext cut', same goes for Cameron's "Aliens" sequal. And also see "Event Horizon".
This movie and a fairly large handful of others are why us Gen-X are as nuts as we are😂👍fun fact:..the ending "bikini" scene?..Sigourny was SOOO hairy they asked her to shave and she refused (the 70's man😅)..it took them WEEKS in editing to "trim things up)...they were completely pissed😆🔥🤘 Ripley...the original woman badass😀🤘Alien 2 is worth the watch also 👍
Lol! And yes - Aliens was incredible!! We watched it right after this one. Ruben actually just posted our reaction to his channel (I linked it in our description above) if you want to check it out 😃

Remember to check out Ruben's reaction channel (linked in description!) and to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated with my reactions to more of your favorite TV shows and movies!
See my comment. Shouldn't be hard to find.
Hey I don't really see a link to your brother's channel in the description. But I do see it listed at 0:26 into the video so I went there and watched Aliens. Subscribed to him too so he can hit 1000 soon!
The set designs, practical effects and ambience in this movie are incredible. An all-time classic, still holds up some 45 years later.
ever since I saw it back in 1979 when I was 15, periodically I have dreams of the sets, not the alien itself, as if I was on the ship. same thing with Blade Runner, I sometimes have dreams of the sets there too.
The late but AMAZING Ron Cobb did the sets for the Nostromo whereas Giger (pronounced 'geeg-er') did everything having to do with the Alien except the chestburster which was done by Roger Christian. Giger's attempt looked like a plucked turkey according to Scott. LOL
I saw it when it was first released. They had an excellent marketing plan. The commercils advertising the movie only showed one of those eggs with outer space in the background. The voice over only said, "In space, no one can hear you scream". I had no idea what the movie was about but had to see it anyway. Scared the crap out of me. It set the standard for all future syfi moves.
I think the John Hurt character gets up first because he has the most 'get up and go'. He’s the pioneering type, the one who volunteers to be in the first group that goes out, who says 'we have to go on' when approaching the alien spacecraft, the one impelled by curiosity to go down and explore the egg chamber… Consistent character development, which is one of the keys to the movie's credibility. They are believable human types.
The Alan Dean Foster novelization describes Cain's drive to always be first and to keep going on, as his lust for riches. When Cain volunteers to be the first group to go out Dallas replies, "Yeah, that figures" because he knows Cain all too well.
Also in the book Kane is up first simply because his sleep chamber was the first in line to power up and wake him.
Sigourney Weaver was smazing in this - beauty and brains ❤
You misunderstood the self-destruct countdown. When Ripley activated it, it started a ten minute countdown, however for the first five minutes, it could be overridden and canceled. When she saw that the alien was blocking the way to the shuttle, she went back and tried to turn it off, but she waited too long. When the computer is counting down the last few seconds, it's counting how much time is left to override the self-destruct. When Ripley misses the deadline by a few seconds, it starts counting down the final five minutes until detonation.
There's only a few reactors who understand the concept of the xenomorph blocking the entrance to the shuttle. It's extremely frustrating.
For most of you reading this, there is probably a retro cinema near you that screens a classic movie series and shows "Alien" and the sequel "Aliens" as a double-teature. I have watched that experience and both movies are spectacular on the big screen and with the theater sound. Also, did you notice Sir Ian Holm as Ash who was also Bilbo Baggins? RIP the acting legend.
"A robot! Bilbo Baggins is a goddamned robot!" :D
Now you guys have to react to Aliens.
Great reaction guys, you have a new subscriber. 💯
We ended up watching Aliens shortly after this one - it was amazing!! Ruben actually just posted our reaction to his channel (I added the link to our description above). Anyway, thanks so much for subscribing! :)
28:30 "What's the point?"
Burial.
For thousands of years, sailors have "buried" their dead crewmates at sea by basically tossing them overboard (usually with a bit of a funeral ceremony, of course).
These guys are just sailors in the ocean of space and they are giving their fallen crewmate the space variation of a "burial at sea".
But in space you may need to recycle their body
True. Plus, having more than a hundred pounds of rotting meat and viscera lying-around tends to be very bad for recycled atmosphere. They could theoretically have stowed his body in his cryo-chamber (although we don't know how those operate, so they may not be appropriate for non-living material), but it's important to remember that these are just "space truckers", not scientists or explorers. They're just trying to finish their shift, get paid, and go home. Nobody paid to train them for anything but their very-specific role in hauling ore through space. All of this is way-above their pay-grade, part of an obscure clause in their contract that everyone going to space presumably signed (in the same way that any ship at-sea would be legally expected to respond to a distress call) but that had never, ever actually come into function before (as far as we know, anyway; what the Company knew about the Alien, and when they knew it, is a big question here. Remember that we're dealing with interstellar distances, so MOTHER is just their onboard computer with all the data it was given before they left. There's no way to talk to anyone over such vast distances without huge delays; even sending a message from Mars to Earth takes about 8 minutes. That also means that "Special Order 937" and Ash as a plant happened before the Nostromo ever left Earth).
@@michaelccozens I agree with almost everything you said.
However, I'm fairly sure that any ship captain already has training, orders, and opinions about how to handle something like a crew member dying.
Try it.
Earth has ships.
Tanker and cargo ships are basically "sea trucker".
Ask some of those captains if they already know what to do and have plans in place for the death of a crewmember at sea.
They do.
Even in the present day, burial at sea ceremonies can be done per request of an active duty or retired naval crewman upon their death. It may have been a similar last request of the futuristic space crewman to be buried in the depths of space upon his passing.
@@uffdad8211 Even in our reality, many dozens of people have had remains "buried in space", mostly in orbit, some are on the moon, and at least 1 is on a deep space probe flying out of our solar system.
I saw this 2nd day in theaters when i was 14 with my friend 15 and his 6'4" ex Marine Vietnam Vet stepdad. The line went around the building and i remember it was hot day. A lot of people were expecting a Star Wars type film and were pretty shocked when it wasn't. When the Alien burst out of Kane's chest my friend's stepdad walked out and waited for us in the lobby. He wasn't alone in walking out after that scene.
Check out the movies Halloween(1978), The Thing(1982), Aliens(1986), Predator(1987), Predator 2(1990), and Jaws(1975).
Ohhh thanks for these recommendations!! We actually ended up watching Aliens right after this one. It was incredible! Ruben actually just posted our reaction to his channel (I linked it in our description above :)
The guy who plays the Alien was called Bolaji Badejo. He was a 6 feet 10 inch tall visual artist, who was spotted in a London pub by the casting director, and offered the part.
You guys misunderstood the self-destruct.
At 41:50 you see and mother say the ship will self destruct in 10 minutes.
Then you guys started talking and missed when mother said "The option to override detonation expires in 5 minutes" - all you heard was the last two words and you thought she only had 5 minutes left.
She still had 10 minutes until detonation, but only 5 minutes to cancel it.
Again at 42:55 you hear "Option to override destruction expires in 1 minute" and assume she has only 1 minute left to escape. She still has 6 minutes.
Why is she trying to stop it?
She couldn't get into the shuttle because the alien was in the way.
So she tried to stop the destruction so she could hide and wait for it to go away or go to sleep, then she could try again.
But she was too late.
At 43:40 Mother says " The ship will self-destruct in 5 minutes."
You said "She got another 5 minutes" but no, it's the same 5 minutes she always had (it started at 10 minutes and now it's down to 5).
She just no longer has the option to cancel the self-destruct so now she must get to the shuttle, even if the alien is still in the way.
YES!! That (among other comments - like "was he like that the whole time?" - about Ash being a robot) drove me nuts. I mean, I get it, you miss things during a movie, but they must have talked so much they missed so much of the detail.
Yeah, it's not made explicitly clear, but the "self-destruct" here is actually just turning-off the cooling system to the ship's nuclear reactor. Once the nuclear pile reacts a certain temperature, there's no way to stop the positive-feedback loop of increased temperature increasing reactivity, which increases temperature, which increases reactivity, etc. The ship's just a bomb at that point, with no way to defuse it.
@@i_love_rescue_animals I think part of that is some people aren't "sci fi" people. Some of the tropes that we take for granted and as SO well known, are unknown concepts to others.
You didn't mention that John Hurt, who played Kane, was later knighted by Queen Elizabeth for services to the interstellar ore processing industry.
One thing I love about "Alien" is it makes use of the common Sci-fi trope that scientists are unreliable as loyal members of the group. They have the scientific perspective, which, since Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", has been viewed with suspicion by folk culture.
Much like how T2 Judgement Day takes The Terminator to another level Aliens does the same for this movie. Both movies were directed by James Cameron and even today the special effects and action sequences are amongst the best Hollywood has ever done. 😊
Kane is the one who says "we have to go on". He isn't the captain. Dallas is.
True. Kane's also right, though; contractually, they can't leave without discovering the source of the transmission, at least not without forfeiting all their shares for the current job and probably being black-balled from any future employment in the field. There's a lot of discussion around the "hyper-corp" future of Alien, where the massive Weyland-Yutani multinational essentially rules the entire planet, with governments serving more as unofficial arms of the firm. Very similar, historically, to the corporate/governmental dynamics in so-called "banana republics", or to our apparent current relationships with state-protected monopolies in all but name, like Boeing.
3:18 synchronized coffee drinking? this channel is next level.
The actors knew what was going to happen with the chest burst but they were not told about how much blood would come out.
Great reaction can’t wait for your reaction to Aliens
Also would love to see your reaction to Crocodile Dundee, fantastic Australian scenery
Ohh interesting about what the actors didn't know - that must've been terrifying! Also - we LOVED Aliens! Ruben just posted our reaction to it in his channel (I added the link to our description above).
Actually, I thought they didn't even know about the chest burst, but just "something" was going to happen to Cain, because Ridley Scott wanted a real reaction. Even one actor slipped and fell on the blood (in the background).
@@i_love_rescue_animals
They knew about the chest burst as it was in the original script.
@@i_love_rescue_animals An extremely common (and annoying) misconception. They'd read the script and knew about it. The OP is correct - it's the amount of blood they had no idea about. There is an outtake of Veronica Cartwright slipping on the blood and her boots going up in the air.
Highly recommend that all 3 of you check out
District B13.
This is an amazing French action film.
Don't worry about reading the Subtitles, this film is the Ultimate in He Man films. Thet didn't bother hiring actors, they just had the stuntmen do the lines.
Still one of my favorite movies of all time. My best friend's dad took me and him to see this in '79 when it was new (right around my 15th birthday!) All we knew about it was: "In space no one can hear you scream." I still love that! My friend's dad had this to say as we came out of the theater: "Mild fright..." We laughed at him because he was visibly shaken. He was an Episcopal Priest and probably had an interesting sermon that week. I didn't go to the service so idk and never asked. lol
Now all of these actors have been in SO many movies, including many movies I like. Kane is John Hurt - Ollivander the Wandmaker in the Harry Potter films. Brett is Harry Dean Stanton -- Toot the trustee in The Green Mile. Captain Dallas is Tom Skerritt; in Up In Smoke he is Cheech's cousin Strawberry. Lambert played by Veronica Cartwright was Gus Grissom's wife in The Right Stuff (her little sister Angela played Penny Robinson in the original TV Lost in Space). Parker is Yaphet Kotto; also Mr. Big/Dr. Kananga in the Bond 007 film Live and Let Die. Sigourney Weaver is Ripley of course in all the original Aliens movies; she's also in Galaxy Quest, Dave, and in Avatar as Dr. Grace Augustine. Finally Ash was played by Ian Holm -- the one and only Bilbo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.
So today, I always paraphrase Parker's line in this movie after Ash's reveal: "A robot! Bilbo Baggins is a goddamned robot!" 🤣
Hey, Ruben, Daisy and Ivy! I tried posting this under the "Aliens" reaction on Ruben's channel but it never appeared so I'm posting it here and under the "Alien" reaction so you can see it!
This is one of the best sequels ever made!
Don't stop here! Please react to the SPECIAL EDITION aka ASSEMBLY CUT of "Alien 3"! Many will attempt to dissuade you but it is essential and iconic!
Unfortunately, you didn't see the superior SPECIAL EDITION version which has the Amanda Ripley scene, the functioning colony scene, Newt's family's discovery of the derelict ship scene, the automated gun scene, the Hudson speculation about queen ants scene and the name exchange scene. Those scenes provide a great deal more context and character beats lacking in the theatrical cut. It is the version both James Cameron and Sigourney Weaver prefer.
The future Ripley inhabits is implied to be a dystopic corporatocracy. The most pervasive and powerful corporate entity is the Weyland-Yutani Company, a 22nd-century version of the British East India Company of the 17th- to 19th-centuries. It is a multinational conglomerate involved in robotics, interstellar transport and terraforming with a stake in every colony world. The Company is the TRUE VILLAIN of the Alien universe. Ash and Burke were following a secret corporate mandate to obtain a xenomorph specimen in order to profit from research and weaponization.
The colonists who venture beyond the compound like Newt's parents are prospectors who can lay a claim to any discovery they make. The Company would get a large percentage of the find but the colonist would own a piece. A valuable ore would mean a fortune! After Burke heard Ripley's story, he contacted the colony boss to dispatch someone to the coordinates Ripley had indicated in her report with no warning of danger. He must have done a little digging and found out about the Company Directive to investigate any possible sign of intelligent life and to bring back a specimen. He sent Newt's family straight to the derelict ship.
Neither Hicks nor Apone were treating Ripley in a sexist manner when she offered to help prep. They regarded her as a civilian. They were both accustomed to females in their unit such as medic Dietrich, pilot Ferro and heavy-gunner Vasquez. When she demonstrates her proficiency with the loader, they were laughing good-naturedly at her bravado and their own underestimation of her abilities.
Some trivia:
The picture of Ripley's elderly daughter in the Special Edition is actually Sigourney Weaver's real-life mother!
The late Al Matthews, who played Sgt. Apone, was a true-blue Marine who was the first black man to be promoted to Sergeant in the Corps during his service in Vietnam!
The knife-trick scene was originally supposed to be performed by Lance Henriksen alone but he convinced director James Cameron to surprise Bill Paxton by involving him as they shot the scene! Paxton's wide-eyed terror is completely real!
Fan favorite Vasquez is played by non-Hispanic Jenette Goldstein! She goes out like a warrior and enables Gorman to reclaim his honor.
Ms. Goldstein now is the proprietress of a Los Angeles-based boutique that specializes in bespoke large-size bras! The motto of her company is, "At Jenette's, the alphabet begins with 'D'."!
Bishop's programming to not harm humans or allow them to come to harm through inaction is ripped straight from Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics!
Carrie Henn, who played Newt, never acted again but became a schoolteacher. She still maintains a correspondence relationship with Sigourney Weaver thirty-eight years later.
The late Bill Paxton, who is one of two actors in the cast who have the distinction of being attacked on screen by an Alien, a Terminator and a Predator, will NEVER be forgotten for his reading of the line, "Why don't you put HER in charge?", referring to little Newt in her oversized helmet. Lol.
The other cast member to share the sci-fi monster trifecta distinction is Lance Henriksen who played Bishop.
Ripley girding herself for battle by strapping on all her weapons and gear is an homage to Sylvester Stallone's John Rambo in "Rambo: First Blood Part 2". Audiences at the time immediately recognized the visual grammar of the scene and called it Ripley's Rambo moment!
"ALIEN 3: ASSEMBLY CUT" is a DIVISIVE film but it's an EXCELLENT entry in the series. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU SEE IT!!! Many will try to dissuade you but it is ESSENTIAL VIEWING! It's directed by David Fincher and features Charles Dance and Charles Dutton. It's brutal, fast-paced, has a solid cast, has some extraordinary scares, provides new insight into the creature, presents a fascinating dilemma and concludes the trilogy elegantly. It even has an iconic scene that became EMBLEMATIC of the entire franchise! I strongly encourage you NOT TO SKIP IT! Make sure you see the ASSEMBLY CUT (Special Edition with longer runtime). It is available on Redbox, Prime and right here on YT. "Alien Resurrection" is the optional one because it's a hot mess except for one cool aquatic sequence. The ambitious prequels, "Prometheus" and "Covenant", mark director Ridley Scott's return to the series but they are mostly good JUST for Michael Fassbender's performances. Scott demystifies the creature and unsatisfyingly attempts to address who the elephant-headed pilot of the derelict spacecraft was. A new interquel directed by Fede Alvarez called "Alien: Romulus" will be released later this year.

Thanks for the background info into the movie and actors...also we have already reacted to Alien 3 which will come out in the next few days. We will see after that if we take on the other movies 😀
I really felt like Alien Resurrection (A4) was an attempt to re-energize the series with Winona Ryder as the new protagonist. That was my take when I saw it in the theater. Obviously that plan (if it was a plan) failed with the film's lackluster performance.
"Why is that guy so chill?"~Ivy, regarding Ash. 😉 I love the suspense of this movie...definitely stands as an icon of science fiction!
Awesome choice, I lost it when your brother said " oh they have good suits" buahahaha. He's a terrible man lol. That's when I knew this was going to be good. When I first watched this on VHS I was sitting on the couch with my sister. Neither one of us has our feet on the ground the entire movie. This was high suspense back then. Can't wait for your reaction to the next one lol
Wow - I felt like these are high suspense today - I can't imagine watching back then. Ivy and I were terrified! lol But it was SO much fun to watch with my brother! We ended up watching Aliens right after this, and he actually just posted our reaction on his channel. (I just added the link to our description above!)
@@DailyDaisiesTV Sweet, I'll be over there shortly lol
See Aliens!!!!!!
Aliens was incredible!! We watched it right after this one, and Ruben actually just posted our reaction on his channel (linked it in the description above)! Definitely check it out 😬
Great movie and... luv that shirt my man❤🎉🤟
I watched this movie on the big screen a few months ago as part of the 45th Anniversary. Was fantastic.
Great reactions, as two of you mentioned, Ivy's instincts were on point, in this film, you'd wanna stick close with her if you ever find yourself in a similar situation, i.e., in deepspace with a murderous alien. 😏🖖
"Alien": A group of relative youngsters are boarding the "Nostromo." What will they make of this "old, long, slow moving, character-centered, no-DFX" movie? Nothing like having a mix of naive and experienced viewers.;) The Company is sending the equivalent of a freighter crew to "do science" on an unexplored planet!
Looove this. Thanks for watching with us!
14:10 "No, don't go on, go back and hide."
Well, maybe not.
These guys are near the end of a 4 year job.
They don't get paid until they get back to Earth.
If they don't investigate this signal, they lose their entire pay.
Could you live for 4 years with no pay?
What would you do, what might you risk, to keep your boss or government from taking 4 years of your salary away from you?
Besides that, in this cinematic universe, mankind has never found a sentient alien species.
Just a few bugs or small animals on a few planets; nothing that can make a spaceship or send a signal.
Imagine being the first person to ever see an alien ship, explore it, bring back some new technology.
Instant fame, and probably instant wealth.
I wouldn't hesitate.
I thought there was the feeling of, "I'm not going to sleep well".
I was 13 when Alien came out. My parents and sister went to a weekend matinee to go see the 4PM Saturday show on opening weekend. It scared the wholly crap out of both my sister and me. Alien & Aliens are two of my goto Halloween movies. It was 7 years between Alien and Aliens (79 & 86)
Wow! That must've been awesome (and of course terrifying) to watch as a kid! I couldn't wait to watch Aliens, we ended up watching it right after this one. It was amazing. Ruben actually just posted our reaction to his channel!
@DailyDaisiesTV Once the lights came on, it was just a great experience. My sister swore off horror movies after that, and because she was always teasing me (being 5 years older), I made it my mission to see how badly I could scare her. 😁
Great reaction!
✌️👽❤️
My favorite Sci-Fi series. At least the first two.
They repeatedly said 'this is not our system' as in solar system. So not Saturn.
If you guy's are on a Sci-fi run i can give you a short list😉...
"Star gate", "Water world", & "The fifth element".
"Mad max"{The original trilogy},
"Escape from new york" & "Escape from L.A.",
"Batteries not included", "Andromeda Strain", "Solaris"{2001} &
"Flight of the navigator" are all great 👍
P.s. "Jones" the cat has his own short comic!
Ohh adding these to my watchlist. Also - Jones has his own comic?? Amazing - I would definitely love to find that! Thanks again for the suggestions!
These are all solid choices! Upvote on all of them.
(31:11) "Oh, it's huge!"
That's what she said. ;)
Hey, Daisy, Ivy and Ruben! This is one of the greatest and most influential horror films of all time!
I prefer the original THEATRICAL CUT you saw because I feel it's paced better and lacks a scene which contradicts the sequel. However, the Director's Cut boasts a moment when Veronica Cartwright smacks the cr@p out of Sigourney Weaver which definitely SHOULD HAVE BEEN in the Theatrical Cut!
Despite preferring the Theatrical Cut for the first movie, there is ABSOLUTELY NO QUESTION that you must watch the SPECIAL EDITION with longer runtime of the sequel, "ALIENS"!!!!!!! There are critical additional scenes that add context to the movie and it is the version director James Cameron and Sigourney Weaver themselves prefer.
Director Ridley Scott kept the entire cast in the dark about the famous CHESTBURSTING scene except for John Hurt. Their reactions were absolutely genuine and mirrored the audience's response! Veronica Cartwright got sprayed by fake blood and fell over backward. They only filmed the scene twice. It remains one of the most ICONIC IN CINEMA HISTORY!
The PACING is deliberately slow at the beginning to acquaint the audience with the ship's geography, to demonstrate authentic-looking space travel and maneuvers, to familiarize the audience with the crew, to establish the threat posed by the creature and to generate suspense with the mystery of the derelict craft. There's a lot of rich character humor and foreshadowing in those crew interaction scenes as well as a subtext about this future society being a corporate dystopia. "Alien" is set in the year 2122.
This movie and "Star Wars" changed the future aesthetic from antiseptic cleanliness to lived-in, worn-out dinginess. The smoking is meant to convey that space travel has become commonplace enough that it is the province of workaday laymen.
The Swiss artist, H.R. GIGER, who designed the xenomorph, tapped into insectoid and reptilian features that evoke primal fear. His artwork is very bizarre, erotic and has a distinctive look called Giger-esque. The final product is an iconic movie monster that is pure NIGHTMARE FUEL! The creature's life-cycle and biology is explored throughout the series. By the way, the alien's retractable inner jaw is found in nature in a deep-sea fish!
THE WEYLAND-YUTANI COMPANY is an international conglomerate involved in robotics, interstellar travel and terra-forming. They have a stake in every colony world and are basically the 22nd-century version of the British East India Company of the 17th- to 19th-centuries. They are a ruthless corporation looking to exploit or weaponize the xenomorph for profit regardless of the negative consequences. The Company is the TRUE VILLAIN of all the Alien movies. In the "AvP" films, you actually meet the company founders before their merger, Mr. Weyland and Ms. Yutani.
This crew is not a group of explorers, scientists or colonists. They're just SPACE TRUCKERS hauling rocks. This was a First Contact situation they were wholly unqualified for. Hence, all the bumbling and bad judgment calls. Their chief concerns were company policy and pay inequity. Ripley was the only one with the willingness to make difficult command decisions that would have saved all their lives except for Kane's had she not been undermined by Ash. Of course, Ash was privy to a secret corporate mandate.
Like most Captains, Dallas had an inherently CALM DEMEANOR. By minimizing the situation, it prevents both him and the crew from panicking. You can tell he's very worried because he seeks counsel from Mother. He also acknowledges his culpability for the predicament by preventing Ripley from volunteering to go into the shafts and by shouldering that burden himself. He accepted this task not even knowing if fire would be effective! His last act is a rather valiant gesture and I always feel bad for him despite his initial missteps.
Parker is MY FAVORITE supporting character! Yaphet Kotto played him to the hilt! He's the blue collar EVERYMAN who just cares about payday and who enjoys deliberately antagonizing his superiors but ends up sacrificing himself for a fellow employee. He's also the only one who made a move on the chestburster before being stopped by Ash!
Some viewers strongly believe the alien raped Lambert! This is nonsense. The PREHENSILE TAIL probably drew her closer to itself so it could mouth-punch her with the retractable jaw. Those viewers aren't mistaken for perceiving phallic eroticism, though, as that was Scott's intent.
The giant elephant-headed alien pilot of the derelict spacecraft is one of the GREAT MYSTERIES of the franchise. Was he a zoologist, a bio-warfare specialist, an exterminator, a trader in exotic organisms, a waste disposal tech or a trucker like Ripley's crew? No one knows.
Sigourney Weaver became a FEMINIST ICON because of this movie. Ripley is one in a long line of strong female characters that have been showcased in sci-fi and fantasy dating back to Edgar Rice Burroughs' Dejah Thoris, the Princess of Mars, in 1912! There's not a man I know who wouldn't follow Ripley into hell.
You must see the SPECIAL EDITION of "Aliens" and the ASSEMBLY CUT of "Alien 3" because those versions greatly enhance both films.
If you intend to see the "ALIEN vs. PREDATOR" films, then you need to acquaint yourself with the PREDATOR franchise. The first is an action classic with Schwarzenegger. Danny Glover's underrated urban-set "Predator 2" features some memorable set pieces. Dark Horse comics explored the crossover concept inspiring Hollywood to make two crossover films with moderately successful to excellent results. They're fun and exciting guilty pleasures with the second one, "ALIENS vs. PREDATOR: REQUIEM", being particularly lean and mean. There is also a "PREDATORS" film produced by Robert Rodriguez that is definitely worth a look. "THE PREDATOR" (2018) REBOOT, however, should be considered extremely optional as it nearly killed the franchise! "PREY" is an excellent 18th-century-set prequel to the original film that was released on Hulu! The Alien films have a RICHER SUBTEXT while the Predator films are more ACTION FARE but they're both fun sci-fi thrillers. Below is a VIEWING ORDER and an INTERNAL CHRONOLOGY:

Wow thanks for all this background info! Super interesting. We actually ended up watching Alien and Aliens back-to-back, and I believe we ended up watching the theatrical cut for both. (Ruben actually just posted Aliens on his channel this morning! :). I'm definitely going back and watching the director's cut though - thanks for the suggestion!
Hi Oxhine! you posted this one twice. Oops!
Your brother likes Metallica...let me introduce him to Female Metallica...
Lovebites Set the World on Fire live.
Guaranteed he'll love these ladies.
I notice a family resemblance among the reactors.
you guys need to rewatch this. i mean i know its a reaction video, but yall ( yes, im cajun) miss a lot of important points while yall are talking. not trying to criticize. just making an observation. :) for instance, when ripley set the self destruct, a 10 minute countdown started. BUT she had a 5 minute window to CANCEL the self destruct, which she missed by mere seconds. after that she still had 5 minutes to reach the shuttle and get to a safe distance.
A lot of people miss this.
Mad props for the “Metallica” shirt, bro.
Alien movies technically exists in the same universe as Blade Runner. Ash was probably made with tech related to replicants.
Epic movie,👌👽👍
No, no, no. Never don't save the cat: didn't you see that Jonesy knows when the Alien is around? If Brett had paid attention, he might have lived a bit longer; if Ripley wondered why Jonesy was growling in the shuttle, she might have realized the Alien is there. Plus. It's Jonesy! You must save Jonesy, just on his own merits. Always, always, always save the cat (or other pet, for that matter).
Yesss! 10000% agree! I was soo happy he made it 😊
Not that it matters much, but:
Venus is a rocky planet like the one they landed on, with a toxic and corrosive atmosphere. Venus has no rings.
Saturn is all gas except for a core deep inside made mostly of molten metal - there is nothing to land on or walk on.
The planet they landed on in the movie is not a planet; it's a moon orbiting a gas giant like Saturn.
It's only called LV-426 (in the next movie, not this one) so it doesn't have a classical name in the movies, but in the novel it is named Acheron.
It is smaller than earth but just about as massive so gravity is nearly the same.
There is obviously an atmosphere but it is not safe for humans to breathe.
It is located in the Zeta Reticuli star system, nearly 40 light years from earth.
The planet is fictional but the star is real.
In fact, it's two stars, a binary star system, bright enough that you can see them without a telescope.
You're talking about being "in our universe."
The universe is everything.
Billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars.
Our galaxy is the Milky Way, which has about 100 billion stars.
Our sun is one of those stars.
Zeta Reticuli is two more of those stars, very very close to us.
Our star (the sun) is called Sol and has a Solar System consisting of 8 planets. Earth is the 3rd planet and Saturn in the 6th planet om this Solar System.
All of this is contained within our one and only universe (that we know of - if there are other universes, we cannot see them or detect them).
Love the Metallica shirt man.
space falls under maritime law and counts as international waters. Kane getting shot off into space was a burial at sea.
Aliens is my fave sci fi and of course I always watch Alien first .. I'm an aussie, grew up in melb and have lived in Western Australia now for almost 19yrs.. has Ruben reacted to any aussie movies? and if so which ones and if not why not? haha.. look forward to your reaction to Aliens (1986) I was 14 when Alien was released but I can't remember exactly when I seen it, probably around 17 and I seen Aliens when it was released and still love it.
I agree, Aliens was amazing which was set up by the origin story in Alien. In regards to Aussie movies, I have reacted to Talk to Me recently which was an awesome horror movie and am planning on reacting to Wolf Creek. If you have other Aussie movies you loved and if I haven't seen them I would be happy to add them to my list, thanks for sharing and your feedback 😀.
@@reactionswithruben There are some great Aussie movies .. The Castle, Chopper - Eric Bana does an amazing job as Mark Chopper Reid who was a notorious criminal, Eric is also in The Castle, Malcolm - a 1980's movie filmed in Melb, The Dish, Muriels Wedding has Toni Collette & Rachel Griffiths - that's a good one to watch with the girls, Red Dog, Rabbit Proof Fence, Crocodile Dundee just to name a few .. I haven't seen Talk to Me but I have seen Wolf Creek- John Jarret was well known for being on a kids show called Play School so to see him in Wolf Creek was unexpected to say the least haha
@@raelshodges8949 Thanks for the suggestions, I will add Chopper Reid and The Castle to my list and will see if I can get Daisy and Ivy on some of the others which i've seen 😀
K now it's over. Kane should have never been let on that ship. Can you imagine how bad things would have gotten if they froze him and got him to earth?
If you like alien movies you might want to do the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds, it's really intense.
You can have an Alien movie experience too, Alien Romulus is coming out in a few weeks.
Ohhh interesting - I'm just getting familiar with this franchise, so didn't realize that was coming out soon! Thanks for sharing, and for watching with us!
Watch Spaceballs next :)
Good reaction.
I love the Metallica shirt.
He kind of gave away a spoiler by calling it a Sigourney Weaver movie. You know who survives from that point onwards.
Next is Aliens, which is arguably the greatest sequel and the greatest sci-fi a film ever made. Thats not to say anything bad about Alien as a sci-fi film. But Aliens is scary, philosophical and artistic like 2001, and its exciting and fun like Star Wars.
And Aliens is the end of Ellen Ripleys saga. You really dont have to watch the next two movies.
Agreed - Aliens was amazing. We watched it shortly after this one. Ruben actually posted our reaction on his channel if you want to check it out (I linked it in the description). Anyway, thanks for watching this one with us!
Both Alien and the sequel Aliens are masterpieces, but unfortunately the franchise plummets in quality after that. The Alien creature (more commonly known as a xenomorph) will always be one of the best creature designs of all time though, even if it has appeared in some underwhelming movies.
Yes - we ended up watching Aliens after this one, and it was incredible! (Ruben just posted our reaction on his channel.) We also just watched Alien 3, but haven't gotten further than that yet. Not sure if we'll continue watching more, but between those 3 movies, my favorites are the first and second. Loved them!
@@DailyDaisiesTV I'm not sure what you thought of the 3rd movie, but as you said you're not sure if you're going to continue with the franchise, I'm guessing you weren't a fan. However, the 4th one (Alien: Ressurection) is nothing like the 3rd one and is more of an action movie, so I think you'd enjoy it way more than Alien 3.
JC I had a headache 6 minutes into the movie
how do you manage to live an not even HEAR of Alien? Mind boggling
That's what I keep hearing! I wasn't around when this movie came out, but the biggest reason is probably because I've never gotten into sci-fi or action or anything remotely close to those genres. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to those sort of movies, but I'm having a blast discovering them with this channel!
Whereabouts from Australia are you from Reuben? I'm from Perth western Australia
I have never yelled at a screen so much in my life! LOL. I know its a reaction but almost EVERY question you guys were asking was actually answered on screen but you were talking over it. I hate to say it, but Alien is a movie that needs you to PAY ATTENTION to it. A bit of a difficult movie to react to sometimes. And if you see Aliens GET THE EXPANDED EDITION. Trust me.
Obviously, one of best movies ever made. This movie is almost flawless. However, I do have one issue. I just want someone to explain to me the reasoning behind why they designed a ship, that carries 7 crew members or more, to have an escape shuttle that won't sustain any more than 2 crew members. What sense does this make? So if something happened to the ship, and the ship was about to self destruct, and they all had to escape on the shuttle........what......are they gonna draw straws or something to see which 2 get to go, and which 5 will stay behind and die????
From what I read somewhere, the ship is suppose to have two shuttles. It may have only one because of corporate negligence, budget cuts, what else. Maybe it's a Boeing type of situation. It's like the Titanic not carrying enough life boats.
@@kevinpogue7294 2 shuttles would still only be good for 4 people. And the main reason the Titanic didn't have enough lifeboats was because of aesthetics. They wouldn't have that problem on the Nostromo. They could care less about aesthetics. It's all practical. There's really no way to justify it. This is simply a plot hole by an otherwise almost perfect movie.
@@jeremybr2020Incorrect. The shuttle Narcissus had a standard crew capacity of three, but could be modified to seat more if necessary. Lore states that there was a second shuttle, the Salmacis, but was damaged in a loading accident over Thesus in 2122 and was not aboard when the Nostromo departed.
@@Hpynos2010 According to Ripley in the movie, she stated that the shuttle would not support 4 or more people. So apparently modifications weren't possible at that time. And if its as you say, that a second shuttle should've been available, but was damaged, then my whole point still stands. Why did 7 crew members go into space where escape, if necessary, would only be possible for 3 people? If the other shuttle was damaged, then get a different one.
Ash is a cyborg not robot.
I hate it when people talk so much they miss the most important parts.
Ikr? Too much chit-chat takes me right out of the moment.
By the way, I think that the other woman said "We are near Tau Reticules " so they were 40 lightyears from Earth when they woke up (?)
It was Zeta II Reticuli which is an actual star system that is about 39.3 light years or 12 parsecs away from Earth.
@@treadstone1138 Okay, 40 ly anyway. Price of ore in Earth must be megalomanic, if it's profitably to travel 2 x 80 ly for this load.
@@Carl_Gustav_Häyhä lol. Then again, 20 million tons is quite a bit.
I'm curious, do you love recommendations because I've some gems i'd love to share to others when it comes to movies. I've noticed not many people heard of these films and I don't want them to vanish into a void of unknown. Let me know Ive a list of horrors, fantasy theme, old animations , and even some films that have had a cult following until the franchise died or something toppled it.
Yes, love recommendations - this movie was actually an amazing recommendation!
@@DailyDaisiesTV here are some good gems for you 1985 "Legend" directors cut version is strongly encouraged. The 1990 " The Witches" 1991" The people under the stairs. 1990 Deadly Manor, 1988" Uninvited (a cat horror film) 1988 Night of the Demons 1985 "Demons" 1986 "demons 2" 1986 " critters" 1988 "critters 2 1991 "critters 3 1992 critters 4 (a nice furry franchise horror)

H R Giger was the artist behind "the Alien" creature. It was inspired by nightmares that he would sketch out upon waking.
Matthew 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
AND YOU THINK THIS IS JUST A MOVIE ?
Revelation 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
REMEMBER THE SCENE WITH DALLAS SAYING "KILL ME"?
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
So what are you saying this movie is
Biblical prophesy disguised as a movie ?
I think you are tripping there buddy !
@@gregorygant4242
Your locust awaits.
@@qwerty-so6mlUm, please explain in non Biblical fanatic terms.
Re shuttle : were you expecting W-Y to care about Mere crew?
Have the girls seen the original top gun...or the Terminator...(Character placement)
Ivy has watched these already, but I (Daisy) just recently watched both for the first time, I have both reactions posted our the channel. Awesome movies!
love this movie! it still pisses me off that no one apologized to ripley for just trying to do her job and follow protocols. ESPECIALLY lambert. she got what she deserved for slapping ripley.
My god y’all talk too much. Especially the man who has already seen this movie.
Agreed.
Now that you saw the brilliant Alien original screen adapt, NOW you should watch the 'Director's ext cut', same goes for Cameron's "Aliens" sequal. And also see "Event Horizon".
This movie and a fairly large handful of others are why us Gen-X are as nuts as we are😂👍fun fact:..the ending "bikini" scene?..Sigourny was SOOO hairy they asked her to shave and she refused (the 70's man😅)..it took them WEEKS in editing to "trim things up)...they were completely pissed😆🔥🤘 Ripley...the original woman badass😀🤘Alien 2 is worth the watch also 👍
Lol! And yes - Aliens was incredible!! We watched it right after this one. Ruben actually just posted our reaction to his channel (I linked it in our description above) if you want to check it out 😃
