I am going to play devil's advocate for a moment and say that CGI is not inherently better than practical effects. There have been amazing CGI effects in movies and there have been appallingly bad practical effects too. Neither is inherently superior, it depends on the skill and effort of those making the effects. I do none the less applaud good practical effects, not least on the recent Alien Romulus, but I would remind people that that movie also used CGI and that CGI is simply a tool that allows film makers to do effects in their movies that would be impossible to do in camera or at least extremely difficult.
They wanted to get Jonesy because they have machines that track heat/movement. Having the cat run loose means they'll keep picking up the cat instead of just the alien. And the Alien looks good because it's all practical effects. She was trying to stop the ship from exploding because the alien blocks her from getting to the other ship, (or it was in it already), so she had to backtrack. The water in the pod is coolant.
I think IQ's dropped sharply in the last 20 years. Before that, everyone understood immediately, upon first watch of the movie, why Ripley had to turn back and stop the self-destruct. It couldn't be more obvious. Modern audiences need subtitles and a for-special-kids type of plot to understand anything.
@@maegalodonuswe should be so lucky to have cognitive functions not requiring the use of a phone. I watched this movie all the time in my teen years along with its sequels love every one of them. Theres still new things i learn just from the backgrounds
"It was good", "It was better than I thought it was going to be." I'm wondering why you didn't expect it to be a top-tier classic, since Alien is a cultural phenomenon that inspired and was copied by sci-fi thrillers from 1979 onwards. It's still talked about in film studies classes, the lead character Ripley is a feminist icon of the GenX generation, when so many female roles were damsels in distress or just window dressing, Ripley was the smartest, most effective member and leader of the crew, which was unheard of back then. There are few, if any, better sci-fi thrillers than Alien, and that's not even going into the filmmaking, which is remarkable for it's age, the special effects, production design and cinematography are works of art.
Could be a number of reasons including the entire franchise? A lot of people don’t know any of this about Alien. I don’t think I’ve seen any reactor expect it to be that excellent unless they’ve seen some of Ridley Scott’s older movies. Many like Aliens as much as or more than Alien, which is understandable, but its aims are to be an entertaining action movie. It’s not exactly subtle or as groundbreaking in many ways. And then later movies in the franchise vary even more in quality, even if the special effects or whatever are good. And when people say something is a classic, it could mean all sorts of things.
****PLEASE watch the extended version of Aliens, it has important info, about Ripley, and possibly the future of the franchise. If you already watched Aliens, look for the deleted scenes before your reactions
What made this movie "special" when it was released, is it was not only very good at tension building, but in a world with no CGI and where the only other "space" movies was the original star wars, this was technologically advanced for it's time. Imagine doing the effects they did with no CGI and when computers were so basic and rare and computer games consisted of dots on a screen. It blew people away. In today's world where CGI rules, it's sometimes easy to overlook what the special effects people might've had to do to pull off some of these scenes when it didn't exist.
The reason for going after the cat is that it showed up on their little radar thing. If they don't catch him when it acts up again on the radar thing they don't know if it's him or not again.

45:45 She went back to turn off the self-distruct because the Alien was in the corridor leading to the escape vehicle, with the alien there she couldn't escape and therefore she would blow up with the ship
Ripley is trying to stop the countdown because the alien is blocking the way to the shuttle. Not sure why you didn't understand it, it's pretty obvious. 😆 Now react to the sequel Aliens and please choose the Special Edition director's cut version this time for the second one. You already missed some scenes in the first one by not watching the director's cut of the first movie like Ripley and Parker running towards Brett as the alien grabbed him, Ripley discovering the alien's nest, the alien knocks Jonesy's cage and more.
Alien is quite intentionally laced with subliminal sexual cues, they aren’t merely your imagination. Once you are looking for them, they seem to show up almost everywhere. The art director was Swiss surrealist, H.R. Giger (RIP). Google his name and the term, ‘Necronomicon’ to see his art in detailed printed form. The latent sexual imagery serves a purpose in Giger’s art, so also in the film. Which is that it increases the human fear response to the horror. Sexual arousal and fear both greatly stimulate the autonomic nervous system. One increases the other. Director Scott utilizes that to good effect in the movie.
Ripley's nose was bleeding due to a failed attempt to expel the creature into space. It's a deleted scene that happens as follows: Parker spots the creature while going to refuel the flamethrowers. He tells Ripley to slowly open the airlock doors, but an alarm goes off, startling the alien. As the airlock door slid shut, one of the alien's appendages is caught in the door, shearing it off. The acid caused a critical depressurization in the airlock, resulting in Ripley's nosebleed. Hope that helps!
Why did Ripley come back to try and stop the detonation? Well because the Alien was blocking her access to the Shuttle. I would have thought that was obvious as the film makes it clear. But apparently not 🙄 Other than that 😀 great fun from your reaction
No their mission was to bring the Iron Ore back to Earth from the planet they got it from. The company sent a message toother[the ship computer] to go ahead and go to the planet. So mother changed their course and woke them up. Only ones who knew about the Alien at first was mother, Ashe , and the company that's why they changed out science officers 56:0056:00
You're not paying attention.She can't go to the smallest ship because the alien's blocking her way.That's why she brand into it.Did you not see that so now?She's trying to turn off the destruct system.Because you can't get to the little ship
Ripley tried to stop the ship from exploding when she saw the Alien near the excape pod. As you see, she was too late and had to make a dash for it. Watch Aliens next. Its worth it!
Now that you’ve seen This movie, watch if you haven’t already the First Indiana Jones, and the First Star Wars movie BEFORE watching the parody movie “Space Balls” (otherwise spoilers)
This movie started a sci-fi trope nicknamed 'space truckers' characterized as a dirty, gritty, more realistic, work-a-day trades person's perspective of futurism.
Yep, and anyone who ever played the computer video game Starcraft that came out in 1998 noticed the use of the 'space truckers' theme in the opening sequence to the movie.
I almost had to stop the video, what’s up with the fake British accents out of nowhere? Couldn’t take your dialogue serious, cuz I was getting too distracted. 😮
You two should really start watching some of the older classic movies...yes sometimes you will come across some bad special effects but for the most part, it's the story from the older movies that really make them great. Some other franchise to start, Terminator (actually, any Arnold flick from the 80's) , The Thing, Back to the Future, Blade Runner.
If, or when, you watch Aliens, be sure to watch the Special Edition. The added scenes are outstanding, and add depth to the characters and their motivations. It also includes a couple of scenes which get really tense.
I was so creeped out seeing this movie for the first time, too, back then as a kid in the late 90s. I thought it was the scary version of Star Wars. Lol! 😆😱👽☠️
_Excallent reaction!_ Please react to : ★ *Aliens* (1986) ★ *Alien³ (1992)* ★ *Alien Resurrection (1997)* also i recommend you : 🔥 *Predator* (1987) 🔥 *Predator 2* (1990) 🔥 *Predators* (2010) and then : ★ *Alien vs. Predator (2004)* 🔥 *_solution to c0piright issues_* IMAGE EDITION : - Edit the movie with partial % of transparency (and/or text) - Flip the movie scene from Right to Left. AUDIO EDITION : - Put the volume of the movie lower than the volume of your microphone(not too low). (Statics, White noise & your comments , make little distortion to the audio) - Record the audio of your reaction separately from the audio of the movie, that way you can mute/edit the audio/image of the movie without muting/editing the audio/image of your reaction. ,
The literal answer to "Where is the light in the egg chamber coming from?" is the stage across the lot where they filmed Alien (the famous Pinewood Studios in the UK) where The Who was setting up for a concert and Ridley Scott borrowed lights from their show. If you watch the sequel, ALIENS which you most definitely should, watch the Special Edition over the theatrical cut.
Watching you fail to grasp this movie is like watching a toddler fail at a shape sorter toy. Except at least the toddler has the excuse that his brain is still developing.
If only Ripley had stopped the destruct sequence in time, then found the Alien on the escape ship, she could have launched the ship and stay on the main ship, gone back to sleep and got back to Earth in a reasonable amount of time, thereby stopping the chain of events causing all the other films. Of course the only drawback to that would have been an escape pod with an alien on it that would have been encountered eventually, but then it wouldn't have been Ripley's problem.
Thank you so much for starting with the first movie. If (moving forward) you go by year of release, with Alien and Predator franchises, everything will make sense. And there won’t be any spoilers
Holy cow.... wait what's going on? wait what is he going to do? This movie is a masterpiece but it's not that complicated.... you guys seemed really confused😮
@@jrzygurl Totally. I always like finding new _Alien_ reactions since I enjoy the movie very much - it's probably the 1st adult sci-fi/horror I ever watched as a kid. Sth similar happened a few weeks ago where the reaction I thought would be good turned out to be sub-par, but then I found out this cool guy ( www.youtube.com/@RynooReacts ) who decided to do reactions to all the Alien films. I would def recommend his reactions.
I feel like the ability to follow a slow-build, character driven story has been lost and not just in this reaction to Alien, but in several I've watched. I agree that they appear to have missed some pretty obvious beats and events that I followed just fine as a 14 year old when this movie came out. In an instant-info, constant stimulation world storytelling has certainly changed. It was evident from the very beginning question they asked - where are the people, what's taking so long.
@@Blaize24 Seconded as well! I think I was a year younger when I saw _Alien_ but even scared witless, haha, I understood what was going on! The 70s horror/sci-fi/thriller trifecta in particular seems to be a bane to some reactors. Like, how would they react or even manage to watch _Coma_ or _China Syndrome_ or _Conversation_ , you name it? Or when there is complete lack of knowledge about a particular actor - I hope I don't sound too rude, but I remember watching one reaction where the person casually mentioned having no knowledge of Kurt Russell or his filmography, it just took me out of the reaction, almost viscerally.
It won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects! It made $200 million dollars against a $10-11 million dollar budget. Dan O'Bannon the writer for the movie, was working on an adaptation of Jodorowsky's DUNE, but when the film was cancelled, O'Bannon, along with Chris Foss, Jean "Moebius" Girard and HR Giger, used their original art concepts for the DUNE adaptation and place them in the final cut of ALIEN.
welcome to the Alien universe,...hope you get to see Romulus, you should watch these first alien movies, before seeing it,..and loved how you were attuned to the sounds, the sound of the ship, it's funny, when you see this movie, how the sounds are as much, like you said not so much sound effects, but just the mundane sound of the ship, is in in of itself part of the suspense, and keeps you on edge, when Brett is searching for the cat, the heart beat, and the structural sound of the ship, as its hurtling through space,..its not quite quiet enough for you to, as a human be on alert to your surroundings,..like in a creepy old house, and someone's after you, and you listen for footsteps, and hear the floor boards creak behind you,..there was no complete quiet, for you to be on alert,.you only had your eyes,..tactile, sense of smell,..it's unnerving,..I truly think Ridley Scott may have been influenced by Hitchcock,..you can apply the same logic of being distracted by an underlying sound, to not hear someone coming up on you, like Janet Leigh in Psycho, when she's in the shower, water spraying out of the shower head, noisy,..doesn't even hear when Anthony Perkins enters the bathroom, not until he's there attacking,....do keep going, Aliens is a tour de force,.another masterpiece, do enjoy, Godspeed, Peace ✌
You're absolutely right! People did have more patience back then, so a lot of movies had credits before the movie started. Pete the Dragon is a perfect example of this.
When Ripley left the cat in the corridor, the alien had already been in the shuttle and Ripley leaving it there made the alien turn itself around because they understand themselves and the alien thinks that is the cat's corridor to hunt.
You two are new to Alien 1979. Your in for a treat. Yes! Mother is an AI. A ship computer. When the alien comes in. The fun will begin. Welcome to LV426. A planet with no indigenous life on it. By the way! Ash is Android.
As a cat person, id go for the cat. Wouldnf matter if it were dangerous. I could never leave any life behind, except the alien! If i die, so be it. If i lived and left anything behind to die i couldnt live with that esp to save my own ass.
You have to pay a fee to skip credits at the beginning . Star Wars knew it and said screw it, how much is the fee? we'll just pay it. I guess Alien didn't think the fee was worth it
This is a myth. They knew the script and knew the alien would be coming out of his chest. They just didn’t know how that was going to be done or what it would look like.
Finally someone agrees with me on that theory. You wife said it evolved I was clapping yes. It's like Pokémon it has different evolutions. It's final form is the biggest and the strongest version of this Alien.
Two young viewers are boarding the "Nostromo." What will these moderns make of this "old, long, slow-moving, character-centered. no-DFX" movie? 5:43 The Company is sending the equivalent of a freighter crew to "do science" on an unexplored planet! 9:15 Canny viewers saw Ash's "calisthenics" as suspect. 12:47 The Space Jockey, a mystery for decades. 15:15 Second Officer Kane = Zapp Brannigan. 16:30 How's that for a jump scare? 17:00 This conversation has become iconic due to recent events. 17:52 The Face Hugger, grossing out audiences for years. 19:02 This why they can't just "cut it off him." 22:29 A Props department work of ART, made of sea animals. 24:34 Kane's last meal. 25:33 The Xenomorph, scaring audiences for over 40 years. 26:20 Burial at sea, an old maritime tradition that spares next-of-kin the gruesome details. 28:40 Along came Jones. 31:20 Say hello to Bolaji Badejo. 33:02 How's that for a "syntax error"? 35:34 You're in command, Ripley. 37:25 In 1979, this was my "WTF? Ash ISN'T Human!?" moment. 39:07 Most didn't see this coming. 42:43 I've read that Lambert is standing in for us, the audience. 45:18 Escape route cut off, stop Destruct to gain time for Plan B. 46:48 Hold that thought for the next movie. 51:11 Tonight's entree on the shuttle "Narcissus" is Steamed Xenomorph in Shell. 51:58 Correction, Char-Broiled Xenomorph. This and the next movie made newcomer Sigourney Weaver a major movie star. "Jennifer Lawrence"? Who is that?
Now you have to watch the greatest sci-fi action film ever made or will ever be made, James Camerons Aliens. You have to watch the Special Edition. You can forget any of the sequels after Aliens. Youll be so invested in the story and the characters from Aliens, the events of Alien 3 may ruin the whole saga for you
Guys I have requested you more than 10 times yo watch RRR. Just watch first 20 mins. After that you'll not be able yo stop yourself to watch entire movie in one sitting. Please...don't procrastinate. It is the best entertainment stuff ever captured on camera. It is totally worth your time and effort.

Guys, I don't see a Haunting of Hill House (or any of the Mike Flanagan'verse shows) on your list. Have you guys seen that yet? If not, I think you will both love it. Please give Haunting of Hill House a shot, if you have not seen it yet.
I just cannot believe you actually blurred one of the most iconic scenes in movie history - the creature erupting from Kane's stomach. Did you think it was too scary for people to view?
@@FanPops Oh really? But I've seen several first time viewers watching this particular film and no one ever blurred the most iconic moments. Oh well, it was your choice of course.
My only gripe with the film is the alien only on screen for like 5 minutes... and the lack of detail on the kills. Too many close ups... and off screen kills. But this film NAILS TERROR... and the creature design was unbelievable. And to filmmakers making crap today....THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A FEMALE PROTAGONIST. in todays movies....theyd have ripley punch the alien to death or something
You wouldn't see much of the alien on a dark dank cargo ship. And when you see it in full it's clearly a dude in a suit. The way it's done is perfect. And there are lots of ways to have a female protagonist.
It nails the tension and terror BECAUSE is doesn't show kill details. Your imagination is far better at filling in the blanks than any filmmaker is, Spielberg did the same thing with Jaws.
As soon as you see a monster clearly the terror goes away. Your imagination will always make it more scary than whatever it actually is. Of course, imagination isn't a thing that gets very developed any longer because everything is shown most of the time.
My favorite movie series i watched envy youtube reaction maker. Have u done reactions long? I must say its not good. The idea is to pick out your Key scenes from your full length and post enough here so a new person is able to follow along. You missed a lot. U also got to play longer ones.For this reason I have to give you a DISLIKE. I want you to watch reactions to thei movie by EOM, DEVIN G and Dasha Reactions.. They will teach you how to make a good reactions.. Now if you are going on with the series Do PROMETHEUS next. I tell everyone this but no ones listens, then do ALIENS. No theses guy are just space truckers hauling ore. Thats why they made bad decisions. So Prometheus gives u good prequel and then Aliens. Following Aliens then do next move ALIEN COVENANT is the sequel to Prometheus. As far as like Alien 3, Alien Resurrection, dont bother with they are junk. OK
The second one will blow your minds 🔥🤘🔥Fun 70's Fact😅::Segourny was the original female badass..she was so hairy for the underwear scene at the end production practically demanded she shave and she completely refused 🖕(the 70's😅)..it took them WEEKS in post-production to edit out her bikini line...cost tens of thousands of dollars..they were PISSED..😂🤘🔥

The literal answer to "Where is the light in the egg chamber coming from?" is the stage across the lot where they filmed Alien (the famous Pinewood Studios in the UK) where The Who was setting up for a concert and Ridley Scott borrowed lights from their show.
If you watch the sequel, ALIENS which you most definitely should, watch the Special Edition over the theatrical cut.
Watching you fail to grasp this movie is like watching a toddler fail at a shape sorter toy. Except at least the toddler has the excuse that his brain is still developing.
+1 The faux-English accents were also annoying af.
cannot wait for u watch ALIENS, and then ALIEN VS PREDATOR !!
Great reactions! Now just imaging in the theater in 1979! It was crazy!
If only Ripley had stopped the destruct sequence in time, then found the Alien on the escape ship, she could have launched the ship and stay on the main ship, gone back to sleep and got back to Earth in a reasonable amount of time, thereby stopping the chain of events causing all the other films.
Of course the only drawback to that would have been an escape pod with an alien on it that would have been encountered eventually, but then it wouldn't have been Ripley's problem.
Thank you so much for starting with the first movie. If (moving forward) you go by year of release, with Alien and Predator franchises, everything will make sense. And there won’t be any spoilers
Holy cow.... wait what's going on? wait what is he going to do? This movie is a masterpiece but it's not that complicated.... you guys seemed really confused😮
Seconded. The jump-scare reactions were fine, but the confusion overall was .... well, confusing. And what was with the mock British accent??
@@tar-mairo I know,right?,,, so wierd... I wish these folks good luck but they're really going to have to step up their game
@@jrzygurl Totally. I always like finding new _Alien_ reactions since I enjoy the movie very much - it's probably the 1st adult sci-fi/horror I ever watched as a kid. Sth similar happened a few weeks ago where the reaction I thought would be good turned out to be sub-par, but then I found out this cool guy ( www.youtube.com/@RynooReacts ) who decided to do reactions to all the Alien films. I would def recommend his reactions.
I feel like the ability to follow a slow-build, character driven story has been lost and not just in this reaction to Alien, but in several I've watched. I agree that they appear to have missed some pretty obvious beats and events that I followed just fine as a 14 year old when this movie came out. In an instant-info, constant stimulation world storytelling has certainly changed. It was evident from the very beginning question they asked - where are the people, what's taking so long.
@@Blaize24 Seconded as well! I think I was a year younger when I saw _Alien_ but even scared witless, haha, I understood what was going on! The 70s horror/sci-fi/thriller trifecta in particular seems to be a bane to some reactors. Like, how would they react or even manage to watch _Coma_ or _China Syndrome_ or _Conversation_ , you name it?
Or when there is complete lack of knowledge about a particular actor - I hope I don't sound too rude, but I remember watching one reaction where the person casually mentioned having no knowledge of Kurt Russell or his filmography, it just took me out of the reaction, almost viscerally.
Egg > Chest-Burster> Baby> Fully Grown Xenomorph
It won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects! It made $200 million dollars against a $10-11 million dollar budget.
Dan O'Bannon the writer for the movie, was working on an adaptation of Jodorowsky's DUNE, but when the film was cancelled, O'Bannon, along with Chris Foss, Jean "Moebius" Girard and HR Giger, used their original art concepts for the DUNE adaptation and place them in the final cut of ALIEN.
47:10 with the coolant systems turned off for the self-distruction, the ship is overheating producing the flames.
Make sure you watch the special edition/assembly cut of Alien 3 when you get around to it. It’s way better than the theatrical version.
Please watch ALIENS next!!!!
The best in the franchise!!!
great reaction! please watch the sequel. specifically the director’s cut.
welcome to the Alien universe,...hope you get to see Romulus, you should watch these first alien movies, before seeing it,..and loved how you were attuned to the sounds, the sound of the ship, it's funny, when you see this movie, how the sounds are as much, like you said not so much sound effects, but just the mundane sound of the ship, is in in of itself part of the suspense, and keeps you on edge, when Brett is searching for the cat, the heart beat, and the structural sound of the ship, as its hurtling through space,..its not quite quiet enough for you to, as a human be on alert to your surroundings,..like in a creepy old house, and someone's after you, and you listen for footsteps, and hear the floor boards creak behind you,..there was no complete quiet, for you to be on alert,.you only had your eyes,..tactile, sense of smell,..it's unnerving,..I truly think Ridley Scott may have been influenced by Hitchcock,..you can apply the same logic of being distracted by an underlying sound, to not hear someone coming up on you, like Janet Leigh in Psycho, when she's in the shower, water spraying out of the shower head, noisy,..doesn't even hear when Anthony Perkins enters the bathroom, not until he's there attacking,....do keep going, Aliens is a tour de force,.another masterpiece, do enjoy, Godspeed, Peace ✌
Ok, Aliens Director's Cut next and then you're good, no others after that.
You're absolutely right! People did have more patience back then, so a lot of movies had credits before the movie started. Pete the Dragon is a perfect example of this.
When Ripley left the cat in the corridor, the alien had already been in the shuttle and Ripley leaving it there made the alien turn itself around because they understand themselves and the alien thinks that is the cat's corridor to hunt.
You two are new to Alien 1979. Your in for a treat. Yes! Mother is an AI. A ship computer. When the alien comes in. The fun will begin. Welcome to LV426. A planet with no indigenous life on it. By the way! Ash is Android.
As a cat person, id go for the cat. Wouldnf matter if it were dangerous. I could never leave any life behind, except the alien! If i die, so be it. If i lived and left anything behind to die i couldnt live with that esp to save my own ass.
You have to pay a fee to skip credits at the beginning . Star Wars knew it and said screw it, how much is the fee? we'll just pay it. I guess Alien didn't think the fee was worth it
The famous alien chestburster scene, the other actors had no idea except John Hurt. Their reactions are real.
This is a myth. They knew the script and knew the alien would be coming out of his chest. They just didn’t know how that was going to be done or what it would look like.
The amazing Giger's design is what makes this movie great.
Don't forget to get the "special edition/extented cut" for its sequel ALIENS which is even better and is as scary and stressful than the 1st one ;)
35:35. One of the best reactions on TH-cam! 😂
Finally someone agrees with me on that theory. You wife said it evolved I was clapping yes. It's like Pokémon it has different evolutions. It's final form is the biggest and the strongest version of this Alien.
To be fair, Zathura was traumatizing as a child.. I was genuinely scared of the lizard aliens
Two young viewers are boarding the "Nostromo." What will these moderns make of this "old, long, slow-moving, character-centered. no-DFX" movie? 5:43 The Company is sending the equivalent of a freighter crew to "do science" on an unexplored planet! 9:15 Canny viewers saw Ash's "calisthenics" as suspect. 12:47 The Space Jockey, a mystery for decades. 15:15 Second Officer Kane = Zapp Brannigan. 16:30 How's that for a jump scare? 17:00 This conversation has become iconic due to recent events. 17:52 The Face Hugger, grossing out audiences for years. 19:02 This why they can't just "cut it off him." 22:29 A Props department work of ART, made of sea animals. 24:34 Kane's last meal. 25:33 The Xenomorph, scaring audiences for over 40 years. 26:20 Burial at sea, an old maritime tradition that spares next-of-kin the gruesome details. 28:40 Along came Jones. 31:20 Say hello to Bolaji Badejo. 33:02 How's that for a "syntax error"? 35:34 You're in command, Ripley. 37:25 In 1979, this was my "WTF? Ash ISN'T Human!?" moment. 39:07 Most didn't see this coming. 42:43 I've read that Lambert is standing in for us, the audience. 45:18 Escape route cut off, stop Destruct to gain time for Plan B. 46:48 Hold that thought for the next movie. 51:11 Tonight's entree on the shuttle "Narcissus" is Steamed Xenomorph in Shell. 51:58 Correction, Char-Broiled Xenomorph. This and the next movie made newcomer Sigourney Weaver a major movie star. "Jennifer Lawrence"? Who is that?
Zathura is a Jumanji sequel
There is no water on the little ship.I don't know what you're hearing, but it's not water and it's not full of water either.That's incorrect
Jonesy is the real hero!!
The fluid for Ash was made out of Yougurt mixed with milk and water. Needless to say it was exactly what you think it would taste like.
Now you have to watch the greatest sci-fi action film ever made or will ever be made, James Camerons Aliens. You have to watch the Special Edition. You can forget any of the sequels after Aliens. Youll be so invested in the story and the characters from Aliens, the events of Alien 3 may ruin the whole saga for you
Guys I have requested you more than 10 times yo watch RRR.
Just watch first 20 mins.
After that you'll not be able yo stop yourself to watch entire movie in one sitting.
Please...don't procrastinate.
It is the best entertainment stuff ever captured on camera.
It is totally worth your time and effort.

The Alien isn’t full of water. It’s blood is acid. It just drools a lot lol
Guys, I don't see a Haunting of Hill House (or any of the Mike Flanagan'verse shows) on your list. Have you guys seen that yet? If not, I think you will both love it. Please give Haunting of Hill House a shot, if you have not seen it yet.
In Space, No One Can Hear You Scream.
Yes, great tag line for the movie, if I remember correctly, even the trailer won some awards for it's time.
I just cannot believe you actually blurred one of the most iconic scenes in movie history - the creature erupting from Kane's stomach. Did you think it was too scary for people to view?
It’s to avoid issues with copyright
@@FanPops Oh really? But I've seen several first time viewers watching this particular film and no one ever blurred the most iconic moments. Oh well, it was your choice of course.
@@FanPops copyright? nah its been shown a million times before.
@@VinterfridTH-cam guidelines. Certain things, I think.
It's called Chestburster cause it erupts from the chest. It didn't burst from the stomach, saying that makes it sound someone had a bad meal lol
Prometheus is my favorite it is connected to alien: covenant yall should react to it when yall get there! 💗
Watch The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Amazing movie
Awesome reaction love it and you both
GAH IM SO STOKED FOR THIS!
Watch all of them, and the New one coming Alien Romulus!👽👽
So excited for alien Romulus
Love to c u guys react to CRASH.
Storyline wise no, I believe this is the second movie. The prequel that starts it all is Prometheus (2014 I think)
I love your videos so much Adam and Denise
Watch the 2nd Alien movie, it's worth it
35:34 ahahah
Can you react to Amelia’s Children its kinda a funny movie
Hi i love you guys so much you dont have to if you dont want to but if you can please react to carrie
Wait till aliens (1986) it doesn't get better after that.
My only gripe with the film is the alien only on screen for like 5 minutes... and the lack of detail on the kills. Too many close ups... and off screen kills. But this film NAILS TERROR... and the creature design was unbelievable. And to filmmakers making crap today....THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A FEMALE PROTAGONIST. in todays movies....theyd have ripley punch the alien to death or something
You wouldn't see much of the alien on a dark dank cargo ship. And when you see it in full it's clearly a dude in a suit.
The way it's done is perfect.
And there are lots of ways to have a female protagonist.
It nails the tension and terror BECAUSE is doesn't show kill details. Your imagination is far better at filling in the blanks than any filmmaker is, Spielberg did the same thing with Jaws.
As soon as you see a monster clearly the terror goes away. Your imagination will always make it more scary than whatever it actually is. Of course, imagination isn't a thing that gets very developed any longer because everything is shown most of the time.
Cannot wait to see your guys' reaction to Aliens...I think it is even better than this one
My favorite movie series i watched envy youtube reaction maker. Have u done reactions long? I must say its not good. The idea is to pick out your Key scenes from your full length and post enough here so a new person is able to follow along. You missed a lot. U also got to play longer ones.For this reason I have to give you a DISLIKE. I want you to watch reactions to thei movie by EOM, DEVIN G and Dasha Reactions.. They will teach you how to make a good reactions.. Now if you are going on with the series
Do PROMETHEUS next. I tell everyone this but no ones listens, then do ALIENS. No theses guy are just space truckers hauling ore. Thats why they made bad decisions. So Prometheus gives u good prequel and then Aliens. Following Aliens then do next move ALIEN COVENANT is the sequel to Prometheus. As far as like Alien 3, Alien Resurrection, dont bother with they are junk. OK
Avoid 3 it's awful it disrespects beloved characters.
The second one will blow your minds 🔥🤘🔥Fun 70's Fact😅::Segourny was the original female badass..she was so hairy for the underwear scene at the end production practically demanded she shave and she completely refused 🖕(the 70's😅)..it took them WEEKS in post-production to edit out her bikini line...cost tens of thousands of dollars..they were PISSED..😂🤘🔥
Love 😘
