No thank you
Embarrassing in the fact they only pay attention to half the movie and the other half of the time thet spend looking at each other, making jokes.
They seem like typical vacuous young people.
Non of which I'll be watching.
They're not scientists, technically. Only Ash is. The rest are the space equivalent of truck drivers hauling cargo.
Came here to write this ;)
They hardly paid any attention to anything in this movie.
a couple of years ago, a high school in New Jersey put Alien on stage, something that no one else has ever done before. with no budget, they got the art department to make all the props from recycled materials. Ridley Scott heard about it and gave the school $5K to put on an encore performance, so they did. Sigourney Weaver made an appearance to watch the show, and she said sitting front row center, and the alien right in front of her, was damned scary!
This is a great example of why I rarely watch reactions of more than 2 people. It really comes over as just a casual get-together with friends to watch a movie, instead of being more focused on capturing the reaction ... a bit of a wasted opportunity as far as I'm concerned.
"It's nice that the moons are all on the same plane..." That's how orbital mechanics works. Moons (and planets) tend to stick to an orbital plane (also called the local ecliptic), since they formed from an accretion disk when the system first formed, both one around the star, making planets, and smaller ones around the planets, making moons or ring systems. That disk, called a proplyd, matches the rotation of the object it orbits, so it eventually settles into a plane. When something orbits off the plane, which does happen sometimes, that's evidence of something unusual, like an impactor having thrown the object off its orbit at some point in the past, or the object being a captured moon or planet, that was rogue until the larger object's gravity grabbed it (or was yanked away from another object's gravitational influence). That's why Pluto's orbit is irregular, angled away from our system's ecliptic. But the eight planets and the asteroid belt in our star system are all aligned on the ecliptic, as are the vast majority of the in-system moons. TL;DR: Alien showed that correctly.
Thank you. TIL.
Yeh, I mean if you’re going to be that person that points out how a work of fiction is unlike the real world, at least get it right. These four are just...I don’t know, I’ve seen enough😂
Yeah. They’re obnoxious, I couldn’t finish the video.
Except not really. The Moon isn't on the same orbital plane as the Earth, for instance. That's why eclipses don't happen all the time.
@@brigidtheirish Hence the quantifier in my original post "tend to." The Moon, of course, was not formed by the accretion disc that formed the solar system that I referenced, since it was formed by an impactor event later on, giving it its 5-degree offset from the system-wide orbital plane.
When you watch a movie,
the more you move your mouth, the less you understand.
You know, just like in life.
Yeah man they need to stop talking as much and enjoy the film, pause it when they want to speak, i won't be watching these four again
@@eddiebirdie1545 So agree with you - irritating to say the least
This is why I cant watch movies in groups. Everyone wants to be a comedian, everyone later is asking "how did that happen" or "why/when did they decided to do that" because they were too busy talking like it's a bar. One gal talking about "stupid scientists" because she was too busy talking to pay attention to the fact they are glorified space truck drivers.
Agree. They were more focused on being comedians. One of the very few reaction videos that I gave a negative reaction to.
Their laughing and trying to out do each other really ruined this reaction.
A student film?? Alien? Even James Cameron admired aspects of it's preduction values over his film.
In my house, questions like, "Is he/she/they gonna die?" or "Something bad's gonna happen, huh?" are NOT allowed.
When these questions are asked, the movie gets paused and dad gives a look that could kill. Questions are not allowed.
For example, I'll gladly answer Star Wars canon questions....but not "Is something bad gonna happen to Anakin?" That earns you a scornful look.
Can't wait until "Aliens" gets uploaded. Wanna see some adults squirm and scream!
The "rain" is condensation. He's in the bay the landing gear retracts into, and it picked up moist air on the planet, which has condensed and is now dripping down in that bay.
Plus the humidity in the ship's air - completely dry air would be horrible for comfort.
"This is like a student film compared with the second one"... what a load of bollocks. I saw the first 3, at the cinema, back to back... and Alien was the one that stood up the most - by far. Aliens, while superficially entertaining on the level of a rollercoaster ride, didn't feel nearly as raw, atmospheric, or accomplished as Alien. Aliens has lots of action, I guess that's why it appeals to vapid millennials with zero attention span
Hey we millenials appreciate this stuff still. These guys seem younger.
Dudes, Sigourney Weaver ? Ghostbusters?!? The Moment he reads this to her, there's gonna be face palming, lol.
And many other great films.
Depends on how important total strangers doing their job is. If you slap yourself in the face for people not knowing about celebrities, you have an obsession. You guys are so bizarre.
@@Gnossiene369 kinda blows my mind when a person complain about somebody not knowing every movie any actor have ever been in even though the people involved say they never seen the movie in question..
I've seen many movies in my life but I can't remember Sigourney Weaver in any other movie beside the Alien movies or Avatar
@Jon Engqvist Then you haven't seen many movies! What's baffling to the OP (and myself for that matter) is NOT the fact that these people don't know Sigourney Weaver's entire resume, but moreso that they don't seem to recognize her from ANYTHING at all, including a majorly popular mainstream movie franchise like Ghostbusters, which is arguably far more recognizable than the Alien film series!
@ClassicAdden
"Depends on how important total strangers doing their job is."
WTF does that even mean? The only "job" these strangers seem to be interested in is 1 they're not even doing well. They need to be watching, LISTENING, and absorbing the information presented to them in order to give a proper reaction. They're far more preoccupied with talking over the film to tell unfunny jokes and make inaccurate and unintelligent pseudoscientific assertions!
What's worse, as the OP pointed out, it sounds quite ridiculous that the 1 female claimed this as "one of [her] favorite movies" (1:40) and didn't seem to bother knowing much about the cast, let alone the eventual lead character! Not even some brushing up right before this fully planned recording?! It's only natural that when someone makes statements like that, others would presume that the person is at least SLIGHTLY familiar with other facets of the film! Especially in this case, since the lead is also recognizable in other commercially successful properties permeating through popular culture! No one's expecting anyone to know anything about "celebrities" in general! You inserted that assumption on your own! The only one here who sounds "bizarre" is you! 😒
Saturn has 82 moons, and yes... moons usually orbit on the plane of the host planet's equator.
Exactly
More or less.
For the most part they aren't scientists. They're basically truckers and mechanics.
Yeah. One of the early complaints from the crew is that they aren't trained for this sort of mission.
The two most common bits of trivia about the movie:
When the movie was written and casting began, the characters were identified only by their surnames, without race, gender or any other distinguishing features.
The scene where Kane (played by John Hurt) dies as the alien bursts out of his chest, the cast weren't informed what would happen either, so their reactions are real.
And the most often repeated wrong fact about this movie - that the cast didn't know what would happen in the chestburster scene. OF COURSE they knew what would happen - they'd read the script already. What they weren't aware of was how violent the effect would be.
They knew about the chestburster because they read they script, what they didn’t know was how powerful the blood explosion would be
Speaking of Sigourney Weaver, y’all need to react to Galaxy Quest! Hilarious and one of my favorite movies of all time!
and she jumped at the chance to be a Barbie Doll!
Yes!
This is one of me and my mom’s favorite movies she watches it and Jaws and The Thing every Christmas while wrapping presents ^^
That's some awesome tradition.
@@chefdean7257 Right?!
@@OhThatRobin When viewing the latter, does anyone say, "It's a Christmas Thing", lol ? I know, I'm a big nerd. 😅
@@chefdean7257 hehehe 😂
Jaws and The Thing. Absolute classics.
They’re miners. The only real scientist is Ash. This is why they’re stupid enough to go explore the alien ship. That and the fact that the company told them to or they lose all their shares.
This was her first big role, and no one knew who she was. And you could not tell who would survive by the end. Amazing debut!
This movie is a thriller. Long scenes ratcheting up the tension is that genres bread and butter.
Aliens is an action movie. Hence the lack of long, drawn out scenes.
It is perhaps unsurprising that millennials find it easier to take the action motif than the thriller.
As one of you said: they don’t make movies like this anymore, ie without throwing an explosion in every 15 seconds to keep your impaired attention spans occupied.
How not to appreciate a scary movie, in the company of jabbering friends
Sigourney Weaver was in both Ghostbusters movies, Avatar, Working Girl, Galaxy Quest and of course the Alien sequels!
You have to ask yourself what kind of company only puts a 3 man escape pod on a ship that has a crew of seven.
I've read that the "Nostromo" had two escape shuttles, but one "was in the shop."
I actually always liked 4, had that sort of Seven Samurai feel when you get your group of different characters with their own quirks, plus, Ron Perlman
So, from your reaction, "Alien" is the best comedy ever ? 😂
Alien and Aliens are apples and oranges. Alien is a horror film. Aliens is sci-fi action. They're just not comparable in that sense.
5:55
I guess watching Alien while being pregnant, both for the first time, could be especially intense...
There was intense anticipation for this film. The cast and crew had to sign confidentiality forms and there were no publicity shots released of the film from after going down into the "cave". Friends and I skipped work and went to the opening day matinee of the film - Holy Crap!!!!
The director used his children in space suits for the exterior/interior scenes of the alien ship to make them look bigger.
Sigorney Weaver - really? Ghostbusters 1 & 2, Galaxy Quest and Paul - which you should watch both of.
Other suggestions for you to watch:
M (1931) - psychological thriller
Mad Love (1935) - as the title suggests
Harvey - fantasy/comedy
Arsenic and Old Lace - comedy
Love the reaction!
To be fair the dude was wearing a thick ass helmet, hhim looking into the egg is simply because he assumed that the helmet could keep whatevet it was out and off his face.
The real Action Bosty, and Bosty wifey. Ohhh and nobody is gonna talk about that beautiful rock that was displayed. Oh and Crumbl Cookies need to sponsor yall lol. Great video.
The rain was condensation from them landing on the planet. Ice probably formed in the compartment and landing gear.
Parker didn’t want to kill Lambert.
Lambert was trapped against a wall.
Ripley didn’t torch the alien, because it was standing in the corridor, leading to the shuttle. If it was scared of fire, it would have retreated INTO the shuttle, which it wound up doing anyway. She wouldn’t have time to deal with it as the countdown was happening.
Wish these people would just pay attention.
The tagline was "In space, no one can hear you scream" so yes correct, the shuttle should make no noise
The computer makes the noise so the crew know it's working same reason why you can hear blasters and explosions in space in Star Wars.
The low key disrespect at this film, I ain’t having it!
Love Aliens, but this is better.
Where else are they supposed to smoke? In front of the air lock in outer space???
Alien was actually alluded to in Predator 2, the crossover was there a long time.
Fun fact: 16:05 was not acting.
The late John Hurt did not tell the other actors that, that was going to happen and the other actors are really panicking there.
Only Ash is a scientist, the rest of the crew are basically space truck drivers, thats what makes the movie even scarier, these are ordinary people and have no special training beyond their job.
I was raised on this movie (I was born in 79). But when I was pregnant for some reason I couldn't handle it. Every time I tried my daughter started moving around inside me and I was just like, "Nope, nope, nope... can't do it."
The scene at 25:41 is my most iconic scene of all time, as A kid watching this I could feel that tension on Ripleys face. This movie defined my childhood, it is a masterpiece.
Alien vs. Predator was a comic series that started in the late 80's/early 90's.
Sigourney was in _Galaxy Quest_ and the original _Ghost Busters_ as well.
Just like in the original First Blood/Rambo movie, this also had an alternate ending that only the preview/test audiences saw. In that ending, the alien actually killed the entire crew; & at the end as a rescue ship is approaching, it mimics the voices of one of the former crew members to draw it in. The Zack Snyder cut of the Justice League movie gives me hope that alternate Alien cut exists somewhere.
Technically this isnt the start of AVP. AVP plays in our time while this plays in the future
After all these years I've only now realized the one technical flaw in this film...kind of, except that by now it's become canon that there's no point trying to correct the assumption that the Xenomorph has "acid for blood", the mechanics of which are never specified in the original film and otherwise just as important a technical plot point; what we don't know is whether the Alien's blood has just that low a pH and the physiology to contain it (in which case the Xenomorph is a highly exotic organism and removing it from the environment it was found in should have instantly killed it!), or whether the creature's blood becomes like molecular acid only when outside of the organism and reacting to air. That would matter esp. in the latter case might've been able to cut the face-hugger off in an environment the creature's blood would not react to, otherwise could have altered the alien's blood chemistry, effectively disabling its defense as well as killing it. If you're watching this with these factors in mind then the lack of accounting for this could spoil the films pragmatic premise.
They are hauling ice. I assume the water is ei\probably a side effect of the coolant like the puddle that sometimes forms under old refrigerators..
Guys, Sigourney was in Ghostbusters another movie that put her on the map you really need to check it out. She was in a lot of movies look it up.
Hannah - your expressions to camera kill me everytime! Love you guys x Yeah you need to watch Jaws
The second one is better as an action movie, this one is better as a horror
Considering its 1979 you might expect the film-makers to kill off the black guy first.
"It looks super old"
I was 19 when it came out. I hate you already...
The director Ridley Scott hates the Ash robot head on the table too. He mocks that scene in interviews. Something went wrong with the head model, and it shrunk. Studio wouldn't give him the money to make another one.
They could have done a better transition from the fake head to the real head in editing though
They overcooked (head model) I think.
No. You can't skip any of them. Gotta watch them ALL. At least once. Just don't compare them to each other.
15:32
Oh boy, this is where the fun begins!
1 and 2 are both around the same level, they're different but are really good. 3 is also good and people go overboard with hating on it, and 4 is a dumb fun si-fi action film
Probably because of the horrible way 3 treated a couple of the characters, among other things.
Alien is a haunted house. Aliens is a roller coaster.
Sigourney Weaver is in ghostbusters
Awesome review! You guys should really have watched it in the dark. You also have to remember that this was made before CGI and all the modern Alien movies. It really laid the groundwork for other similar movies (Some HORRIBLE!) to be made. Personally speaking, ALIEN has always been one of my favorites! It came out when I was just a kid and I remember how people freaked out because they were expecting Star Wars. I remember that the scene where Dallas is attacked was shown on "Sneak Previews" with Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, back in the 80's. When it eventually came out on the "all-new HBO", my buddy and I managed to sneak out of my room to watch it on Friday. It was awesome! Now don't get me wrong. I grew up a Star Wars kid, but I always loved how ALIEN was gritty and more realistic. I mean, Brett is walking around in a Hawaiian shirt and half the crew is smoking. So much for a squeaky clean futuristic world, right? I'm told that one of their goals was to imply that that the crew was just regular working joes and not some kind of fighters, so they were supposed to be more relatable. Just an FYI: the chestburster scene was apparently done and no one was told what was going to happen. So everyone's reaction was real. Since you did a Ridley Scott film, maybe you can do a review of the original Blade Runner (1982) with Harrison Ford?
Let’s not go too far about the chestburster reaction because the cast read the script. What they didn’t know was how the effect was going to be achieved and Veronica Cartwright didn’t expect to have her face sprayed with blood.
The reason American audiences don't like Alien 4 is because it has a French Cinema sensibility. It was made by the director of Delicatessen (1991) and Amelie (2001). Other films that emulate this style are Belle du Jour (1967), The Fifth Element (1997), and Xalerian (2017).
Me: I don't get why people hate Alien 3 & 4, they're great cult films? Also Me: Alien vs Predator doesnt exist, never seen it, never gonna!!
alien 4 is fine except that it is in the same timeline as 3. 3 the movie is fine except that it essentially makes the whole point of 2, Ripley's redemption. Ripley gaining a new daughter, and a new life with the soldier pointless. And it does it in the opening title sequence as the movie setup. Sooo depressing, before the movie even starts. I can not tell you how much I hate the idea of the movie, before the one frame of the movie has even rolled. But, if you don't actually care about the characters, then its fine.
Aliens is not better, it's just as good as Alien but not as scary!
Alien is a movie where nobody listens to the smart woman, and then they all die except for the smart woman and her cat.
1 is a horror/suspense film
2 is an 80s action film
At the end of Predator 2 you see a Alien skull on the Predator’s ship. It’s on the trophy wall
AVP was a creation of Dark Horse Comics in the 1990s because they had the liscences to both proppperties.
You have to watch it in the dark, obviously.
Bilbo is a damn robot!
you might like the film Gravity if you want an adventure in near future or alternate present space above the earth, stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney
WHy they laugh continuously like dumb?
Stop laughing and talking so much!
Oh shut it Tommy
Classic!
you might also like Blade Runner (1982) which is also directed by Ridley Scott, who did Alien, pardon if I'm mansplaining
Aliens is my favorite of the franchise ! Hope you'll give a try at Predator
to get your revenge from the frights you had with this movie, you have to watch the 1986 movie aliens
8:55 how can it be possible, laughing endlesly here.,,,, yeah no
Ash is Bilbo Baggins
Are you guys going to react to Prometheus?
I cant imagine what you people would be like in a cinema. Exackly the same i would think. How the hell are you watching the movie when all you do is look at each other and talk.
Now y'all gotta watch John Carpenter's The Thing
The should forget about the movie and just talk on the sofa.
Watch Sigourney Weaver in Galaxy Quest.
This was the funniest Alien reaction ever.
Thank you, Sterling!
And the most annoying reaction...i quited after 10 minutes.....
@@denislaferriere2693 Then you missed out.
Interesting way to watch the movie as a group whenever I get anyone to watch this film must get them to watch it alone if you want the full affect be in the room by yourself blacked out and then watch it. In my opinion it’s the only way to watch this movie.
"Friends with ripped jeans watch..."
4:00 Worst jump scare ever
38: 20 ----- GHOSTBUSTERS!!
PLEASE skip 3 and 4,watch PROMETHEUS ADN COVENANT!
How did you get around covid restrictions?
I can assure you that they have been tested prior to doing this filming.
@@RecklessJayGaming Thankyou for your reply,alls good.
@@karlydoc my god so many sheeps nowadays 😑
Those FX fails still bother me to this day. I wish they would correct them with CGI cuz it's a buzz kill for modern audiences. Just release an updated version.
All movies and TV shows are based on people being stupid and or evil. Any normally smart person would see those pods and say “Let’s get out of here!”
I’d love to see a reaction to avatar!! Please!!
Double dip? Hilarious, you are more hilarious than the movie
The epitome of America, in four parts…
Sigourney Weaver. Acclaimed actress. Great beauty. Famous for starring in some of the biggest blockbusters of all time.
Forgotten by Millennials and ignored by Zoomers. Sigh, what's it for, eh? You build a legacy only to have it crushed by the disposable masses...
SEE ALIENS !!!!
I love y’all’s reactions. I don’t care if you skip 3 and 4 but hope you react to the predator movies and aliens vs predator I would love to see those reactions.
Great Video!
Keep on keeping on!
Thank you so much, Joe!
You guys are wearing similar pants 👖
Aaron's reactions are gonna be fantastic . . . And Damn, Hannah has some great legs. 😋
The bloops were funny 😄 your editing is really good btw. It was different and enjoyable with the two newbs so good for some diversity
Thank you so much for the encouragement! It means a lot to us!
@@hannahandaaronreact5631 If you want another classic sc fi shocker for all four of you with some great moments of humour and excellent on the diversity front please watch the UK/US film Event Horizon, with Lawrence Fishburne, Sam Neill, Jason Isaacs. It's got a big cult following
The girl is wrong. The 2nd Alien film isn't waaay better. In fact, it's not as good. What it is...is just an action movie.
Agreed
You guys laugh way too much
