Yeah sorry for the confusion! we meant that they also used darkness to make the practical effects look better and cover some parts of them that wouldn't perhaps look as highly detailed similarly to how movies later on used and still use darkness to cover for lack of detail in CGI. Not that this movie used CGI. Although CGI was first used in 1958 by Alfred Hitchcock in Vertigo so it did exist back then already. But yeah it wasn't used in this movie. Thanks for watching!
At about 20:19 - they talked about "the cool ship" -- that's the shuttle. Remember Lambert suggested it and Ripley reminded her that the Shuttle wouldn't take four. After Ash, they decide that yes, they can now take the shuttle, since they're down to three. Watch the movie again: the script takes care of a number of your questions.
Scott and Giger were on the same wavelength. Good point! The ship evokes an even more experience of what is alien. The old cliche flying saucer would've been dumb.
Sorry for the confusion. We just wondered why in general alien spaceships in a lot of movies seem to look and work completely different to how our human spaceships work since they still work under the same laws of physics. Not that Derelict doesn't look good or that it should look like a human built!😅
Thanks for letting us know! Yeah I think that would've been a good idea to show in the movie, but they probably thought that them mentioning seeing it is enough. Now I want to watch the directors cut haha! ~ Nyfbie
At about 18:50 - Ah, shame on you! The cat always matters! Bear in mind that this crew is not a crew of scientists, but have been described as "truckers in space". You can tell that Dallas is somewhat burnt out. They are singularly unprepared for the events that happen here and the company members who decided on this move probably took that into account. The true villain of this movie is the company.
horror genre has changed a lot over the last 45 years. in 1979 this was def a sci-fi horror. and it's a lot scarier when you go in blind and see it in a theater. on tv it loses a but of fear factor. i wouldnt say it's too confusing. they're a civilian crew heading home. they got re-routed to new coordinates and the android was directed to retrieve the alien. they having standing orders to investigate possible life forms. it got loose and killed them all. ALIENS, the sequel is a must watch and further develops the aliens.
Jones, also referred to as Jonesy, was a cat kept aboard the USCSS Nostromo as Ellen Ripley's pet. While the cat's official purpose was to control rodents aboard the ship, he also served as a source of relaxation and entertainment for the crew like a therapy animal. So, this was the reason why a cat was brought into outer space. Yeah, see the difference between them and me I'll pass up my paycheck I'll go get a new job I'm not putting my life at risk for exploring an unknown world and secondly as soon as I saw that face hugger on that guy's face, I would have been gone I would have stolen the shuttle and left with a cat. The Spaceship gets explained in Prometheus which is the origin and the start of all of these movies. Alien Movies in (Chronological) Order AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004) ... Aliens' vs Predator: Requiem (2007) ... Prometheus (2012) ... Alien: Covenant (2017) ... Alien (1979) ... Aliens (1986) ... Alien 3 (1992) ... Alien Resurrection (1997) And now they've added the new one that just came out.
I couldn't leave my pet behind either if I'd leave to long space travel. And I'm with you, the very first second I saw the alien I'd have gotten the hell out of there lol! Thanks for watching! ~ Nyfbie
Please elaborate on what confuses you about this movie. As noted below, there was no CGI. Everything was practical. Do you really need to see that kind of detail as to getting the gun, etc.? Why? That, would, in fact, slow things down.
Can't speak for Crossroads (guy on the right) on that, I personally didn't find it confusing. As to the CGI I don't think we ever said anything about CGI being used in this movie, we know there wasn't. But if it sounded like we did then our bad, we might have misspoken then. I'm not sure what part do you mean by detail of getting the gun? One of us didn't like the pacing overall and felt it was too inconsistent. Me on the other hand liked it. Just differing opinions, that's all :) Thanks for Watching! - Nyfbie
Great reaction! It is very interesting to see your joint detailed reaction to the film Robocop 1987. This is a cool classic movie 🦾🤖🔥 Do you have any plans to do it?
@@TheGeekheads please take it as constructive criticism :) think what you want to say before you say it... then you'll pause less, giving you less chance to fill the pause with a "like."

there was no cgi in 1979 movies. it was all practical sets and scale models.

We will definitely watch the movie again! I imagine we missed a lot, it's hard to catch everything on first viewing especially when reacting haha
The Derelict is a wonderful design. Idk why you want it to look like a human built spaceship. Its design is literally alien to us.
Scott and Giger were on the same wavelength. Good point! The ship evokes an even more experience of what is alien. The old cliche flying saucer would've been dumb.

13:25 In the Director's Cut. Ripley and Parker run in to the room, in time to see Bret being carried away.

@ it features the scene where after Ripley sets the ship to explode. She enters the Alien’s nest, and encounters both Bret and Dallas.

They didn’t have cgi back then.
The first and by far the best Alien movie.

It's not confusing at all. The movie tells you everything you need to know. They just overthink or underthink things.
You're not wrong haha!

Classic movie
Oh hai, neighbours! New sub from Norway :)
Hope you watch all in this series if you liked it enough!
Hi 🇫🇮🤝🇳🇴 Thanks for subscribing! And yeah we will watch all the Alien movies, no worries :)

Great reaction! It is very interesting to see your joint detailed reaction to the film Robocop 1987. This is a cool classic movie 🦾🤖🔥
Do you have any plans to do it?
We've both seen it already so I doubt we'll be making a reaction video on it, sorry!
Have you seen the movie Tarzan The Fearless from 1933?
Yes, we've seen it
All the Alien movies are worth watching really, but especially Aliens, and the recent Alien Romulus was pretty good too
We will for sure watch all of them, hope to see you there!
say "like" less.
Bad habit, still learning english haha. But we try to use it less.
Thanks for watching!
