Nice 👏👏
Thanks for including Isolation, it's super awesome and we're finally getting a sequel!
@@maxgemstone7257Fun fact, Alien : Earth was the first event before Prometheus, based on detail I found.
What they said ^^^
@@maxgemstone7257 this is not the complete list, the complete list includes comics, novels, short films and two more games.
The actor playing Andy deserves an Oscar nomination.
This 🐵? Lol
Yeah, he did a great job
that's how you get Forehead wrinkles
Andy is best boy.
He was a standout in Industry too. Glad to see him get big roles, he killed it!
This was probably my favorite movie theater experience this year. The sound design and space shots were freaking amazing and I just melted in my IMAX seat at the end😂
Mannn. That’s hard. I need to see this but dune 2 was crazy.
@@jrod1591 dune part 2, Deadpool and Wolverine, and Romulus are the best films of the year so me
I am so jealous. The nearest IMAX to me is over 70 miles away and it would have been $200 round trip in an uber to go see, excluding ticket costs. I had to see it on an XL screen with recliner seats (uncomfortable recliner seats at that) but man was it amazing to finally see an Alien movie on a theater screen.
@@sakuram69 as a person with an imax in town.. it’s both THAT much better at this point. The sound is a little better. Picture is not so much better than a standard theater that it makes that much of a difference. If it does, that theater is not in Tucson.
i saw it in 4DX and it was so much better
The Offspring scared the crap out of me in the movie theater then my dad made a joke saying “they grow up so fast” and I couldn’t help but giggle.
Me i was like. Oh they are doing the Newborn again, but this time it work for me, while i just HATED the Newborn design. Felt it disrespected Giger design, while the offspring kept the spirit of Giger designs.
The Zuckermorph is such a terrifying and cool design….
So all the rumors about Mark Zuckerberg being an alien were true 😂😂
The Zuckermorph is a perfect name. I will repeat it as much as can.
At first viewing, I hated it. Ruined my first watch. But as more rewatches (& reactions fr YT watchalongs) I appreciate the homage to Alien: Resurrection. At least the "Zuckermorph" looked a bit human. Unlike that creepy-eyed Ripleymorph in Resurrection. 😂
What the phuck they make Mark a long-legged alien? I was expecting Donald Trump coming out that pod and eating his mother face 😂😂😂
@gerardohernandez-iy6hi he does have a vague resemblance to mark doesn't he 😂😂 a taller, balder, mark
Fun fact about the offspring it’s not CGI is an actual person wearing a makeup costume and his name is Robert Bobroczkyi. He’s 7.7 feet tall and used to play basketball until he switched careers to acting. And I gotta say he’s doing amazing at it.
not hard to stand there and smile in creepy make up, hardly robert de niro.
@@deeplaysgaming4754 Nobody else could pull off that look. His height and extremely slender build is what allows him to look like an actual monster with makeup on. He also does alot more than just "stand there and smile in creepy make up". His crawling/movement and facial expressions were on point.
in the concept art the offspring had wings in his back but in the end they cut them off, that's why the things in his back are weird.
@@MrHillBilly-j7f so because he born with an illness that makes him extraordinarily long and thin and that helps him look more terrifying than the average man that makes him a great actor?
@@deeplaysgaming4754 No, not necessarily. I just meant he did alot more than "stand there and smile in creepy make up". He brought that monster to life in a fantastic way imo. His build just helped him in that regard. It is like a natural talent for playing inhuman creatures/monsters.
It’s Andy’s eyes. He does this great puppy dog look that sucks you in immediately, along with just being sweet. I don’t feel like a lot of actors use their eyes and eyebrows to convey emotions as much as I believe they should, especially during intense scenes where the goal is to make you feel something as a viewer. Their mouths are moving and their voices change, but the eyes and eyebrows stay the same. This actor nailed it though❤. I haven’t seen him in anything else but I’m going to keep up with his work.
Motherhood is such a beautiful... OH MY GOD!
David Jonsson who plays Andy did such a phenomenal job, the way he switches from childlike Andy, to the more intelligent improved Andy made the whole movie. Also, in the Alien universe, androids are generally met with skepticism and mistrust by many people, especially those who have had direct experiences with them. They're androids built by the Weyland Yutani company, which comes with its corporate control and agenda. "Building Better Worlds" "We Know Whats Best For You" are some of their slogans. They are known to usually be "company before everything", much like Ash from Alien, or Burke(though he was human) from Aliens. Androids are just as much integral to the movie as the Xeno's are. One of the reasons why people didn't like the other movies like Prometheus, and Alien: Covenant was that it tended to leave you with more questions than you went in with, and more left unanswered. I always saw them as a Walter/David story set in the Alien universe.
The evolution of the artificial people in the WYU has become my favorite part. Andy being the bridging model between Walter and Ash/Rook adds a lot of depth to the timeline.
I don’t think it’s accurate that androids are met with skepticism in the Aliens universe as Burke and all the marines seem to get along if not outright like Bishop. Ripply is the only one who has a problem with him. Everyone else either likes him or treats him with apathy.
We met them with mistrust because Ripply does (understandably so) but if you remember in Aliens Bishop is surprised that Ripply holds animosity towards him and Burke even tells Ripply he’s sorry for not mentioning it as androids have become so commonplace it didn’t occur to him that it would be a problem.
In Prometheus and in Covenant no one ever doubts or mistrust David or Walter as they are seem as machines meant to serve them. It would be like people today holding prejudices/mistrust against Siri or Alexa.
Remember that Blade Runner and Alien basically takes place in the same universe. I believe that people called Ryan Goslin's character a skin job as a slur against synthetics.
@@spextrekid9410 Replicants and artificial people are completely different entities...
Blade-Runner and Alien movies are actually set in the same universe, which is pretty cool. 😎
That ending was unhinged 😂😂 dear God that was some amazing makeup work on the actor playing the hybrid.
@@josegiron7008 I need him as slender man. If I were to do a slender man movie immediately casting him
My god, that weaning baby abomination shouldn't be back....ever.
@@Xenomorph.king24 Yes 100%. He needs to be Slender Man in a proper, high budget adaptation. James Wan would be my choice for director.
@@MrHillBilly-j7fwe could have a perfect movie for slender man. Someone pitch this to Blumhouse now!!!!!
The official name of the creature is the Offspring, just so you know ;)
Noooo this movie takes place bwtween Alien and Aliens, not Alien 3 haha
Literally the one thing that’s been constantly said about Romulus smh
@@rjcommentary4580yeah, it's weird, don't know why she said that
Achara Kirk has always been one of my favorite YT reactors. Unafraid to express candid raw emotions, always saying the right things with insightful commentaries w/ appropriate timing, eloquent and tactful outros. Just a woman with character and smarts. May you stay healthy and happy girl. Cheers!
She is my fvrt coz she is the only one who seems to understand everything, irrespective of the cultural differences or any other shortcomings. She beats Jaby Koay himself.
Y es tan hermosaaa 😍
Simp harder
Yeah I love achara
@@vishnunair7623 it's really noticeable watching her and Jaby react to Agatha all Along together....two very different takes
David Jonsson as Andy is the best android performance I have seen in over a decade. He perfectly captures how artificial intelligence can also at times be innocent and infantile. While also being pure.
His performance was bad.
@johnbeans2000 why are you lying? He was awesome.
@@KingOfThaDead64 just ignore that troll.
I'd like you to list some "android performance" competitors. There aren't many. And this isn't the best.
@@smiffy68 Bishop, Vision, David 8, Roy Batty, K from Blade Runner 2049, any performance from the androids in Westworld, and of course The Terminator. And no, the Terminator is not a cyborg, cyborg is an already living that has had cybernetic augmentations to it, terminators machines that have had organic skin placed over them, technically making them still androids. I could go on.
I like how in most of the movies, it has a flamethrower, but this one has a cryo gun instead.
@41:59 I appreciate Achara trying to get a better look through the window XD
Steph does the same @1:04:25 🤣 trying to get a better view i guess.
At first I very much didn’t like that that they used the late great Ian Holm’s likeness for “Rook”, but later I found out that not only did his family approve, they said also Ian would’ve loved to have been part of this movie because he loved working on the first one so much. And I agree he would’ve loved to have been a part of this, just watch old interviews of him talking about Alien.
Also, I thought it was very clever for the company to name their androids after chess pieces, like Bishop and Rook. It shows what the company thinks not only of its androids, but of all of its employees, as nothing more than disposable pieces on a game board that can easily be replaced.
The company is such an amazing dystopian entity. Just think about it. We see companies come and go, even big ones. But Weyland-Yutani is everywhere, to the point where years long cryo sleep space travel has become the norm. It exists for literally centuries, ever growing. The movies focus a lot on the xenomorph, but the true evil in this universe is "The Company".
@@Dark__Thoughts it’s why in the game Aliens: Fireteam Elite the marines explain that the nations of Earth essentially tried to go to war with Weyland-Yutani.
Like Ash? 😅
Through that naming convention only work for those. Other wise we got David, Walter, Andy, Annalee Call. (and i think that's all of them)
I knew Steph was going to lose her mind once she saw the Zuckermorph - she did not disappoint.
... and without seeing the prequels, it meant NOTHING at all: she was just reacting to the creepy look without understanding anything about what it meant.
@@stevealford230 WHO CARES
@@AllThingsKen I dare say "most of the people who want to see a reaction to this specific movie" ... because without knowing what the creature actually is, the reaction isn't reacting to anything special or unique about this franchise, just reacting the same way they would react to any generic creepy creature in any B-movie. But if that's your thing, like "trying to be a condescending coolguy for internet points," then enjoy away.
The alien design for this film was soooo disgustingly good. I believe the guy who plays the alien human baby hybrid is a high school basketball player? I could be wrong. I remember seeing him in a youtube video showing some of his basketball highlights. His dream is to play in the NBA.
His name is Robert Bobroczkyi
People were skeptical about the cast being too ‘teen drama,’ but they did a phenomenal job, especially Cailee, David, and Isabela. Poor Kay though, she really went through the wringer.
it was a shitshow
I STILL can't get over the fact that the Offspring was actually a real dude
I was so happy with how this film turned out, and I'm happy to see y'all reacting to it. Thank you!
Ripley is a mother, which is only seen in Aliens Special Edition. It adds to her connection with Newt.
Aliens references her daughter, and you play as her in Alien Isolation.
Pretty sure it was mentioned in the novelization of the first movie too.
And well there's Alien isolation ;)
The actor who plays Andy and the actor who plays Maximus in Fallout... they should star in a film together.
Maximus is one of the worst characters i have ever seen. And the actor is cringey and bad.
Ash - Ian Holm British actor (1931-2020)..... RIP.
@@WheresWaldo05 That's your opinion and i won't seek to invalidate it.
@juliant I agree. I love the actor who plays Maximus. Idk why people think he's bad
yes their vibes match❤
Such a well made movie. I felt SO bad for the pregnant girl. She died in the WORST way possible. 💔 All of them did to be honest.
It's funny how all the bad androids in Alien universe have been British while all the good ones have been American. Even Andy switches back n forth once the module is put in and taken out.
David Jonsson steals the show. I only cared about him, honestly.
Michael Fassbender is my favorite "Artificial Person" followed closely by Andy. Great actors, both!
I think my two favorite things about this movie are the actor David Jonsson playing Andy and the fact this looks so much like the alien isolation game they even throw in some save stations! 🙌🏾 They had so many amazing shots, great sound design, way more face huggers, and again David’s performance as Andy was wonderful I never cared about the androids but I genuinely cared about him the switch up when they change his module gave me goosebumps.
You guys have got to watch Prometheus and Alien covenant... They are the prequels
They are not prequels, lol
@@dicekolev5360 what are they then???
@@dicekolev5360 They take place before this and the other movies. How are they not prequels?
They should just continue where they left. They missed a lot of references, even from the original Alien.
@@dicekolev5360 The hell you talking about? They quite literally are.
It's called Cassette Futurism and the original Alien was one of the biggest influences for this type of retro futuristic analog style. :)
One thing that really fascinates me about the whole dystopian universe of this franchise is "The Company" itself. Weyland-Yutani is so big and influential that something like years long cryo sleep travel to other planets is apparently just the norm. I find this mind boggling just from a time scale perspective. Companies tend to come and go, we've seen the fall of several big players in our own personal lifetimes, but here we have a company so big, that it outlives countless of human generations.
9:07 Not to sound like a Tankie, but this is literally late stage capitalism. lol
17:10 Not a single reaction of where she does not accuse a guy of cheating as her first thought. "That's lower conscious thinking." But Isabela Merced being pregnant is funny due to another role.
28:24 Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand they missed it. "But you have my sympathies."
29:16 They don't lay eggs, they merge the parasitic alien & host DNA to form the xenomorph inside of them.
37:15 Everything reminds me of her...
38:36 It's in the spirit of the original H. R. Geiger art. The xenomorph with its head resembles a phallus and the face hugger (if you look closely at its underside) a vagina.
52:54 Aaaaaaaaaaaaand they missed it, again. T_T
To me this movie felt like a blend between Alien, Alien Isolation (really really good game btw), and a bit of Alien 3, Prometheus, and Alien Covenant. Unfortunately you won't get the references they threw in here, especially regarding the baby, since you stopped at Aliens.
Fede Alvarez is such a dope filmmaker. His horror movies are very stylish.
Evil dead was my fave
This movie didn’t disappoint at all!
Takes place between original film & 'Aliens'(2nd film)
Plus, the revelation that the Xenomorph can cocoon itself in outer space. Must mean that the Xenomorph queen from "Aliens" didn't die at the end.
Always go for the head. 😉
0:23 Nope. This one takes place 20 years after "Alien" and 37 years before "Aliens".
How do you work that out.
If I'm correct it's the director who said that
Because it is Rook who says that the events of the film take place twenty years after the events of Alien and, consequently, thirty-seven years before Aliens since the latter takes place fifty-seven years after Alien.
@@fabiosegretario7509 i always find odd everyone take that date at face value, even the peoples who made the sequels... Because the only time it's mentioned is in a FUCKING DREAM!
@@oliviawilliams6204 The dream sequence is mixed with a real one, also because then when Repley wakes up from the dream he makes a joke, saying that he "slept too long", to underline the enormous time gap that there has been since he was in cryosleep.
Also because then in the Special Edition, Burke gives Repley news of his daughter Amanda who he discovers is over sixty and already dead.
Alien romulus take place between Alien and Aliens. This Movie is the Best long time
This is definitely a good movie and underrated because of all the haters
@@Xenomorph.king24 haters never shut up
@@charlesharry7901 absolutely agree it may not be as good as alien or aliens but it’s much better than the other films after aliens
@@Xenomorph.king24 that your opinion. Everybody love this movie Alien romulus best movie since 80s
@@charlesharry7901 I agree I really like this film but alien and aliens are better but it is the third best in a good way. But I respect that
9:09 you meant captalistic
was about to say the same thing, indentured servitude is free labour for a corporation
I’ll go with “corporate hegemony.”
"Why do you care? he's not real?"
This is the most unbelievable part of the plot. I had a Nintendog on a friend's DS that I abandoned...still think about little Tsuru (named after a random bottle of saké I saw in my friend's house when naming him) to this day. Poor little guy. Not even friends with the DS owner anymore.
"Why does it look like a vagina?" Because the work of H.R. Giger was a freak. Literally only Species took his character concepts further.
lmao steph reaction to the alien hybrid lol
0:15 - This movie takes place between Alien and Aliens, actually.
38:34 I spilled my juice out😂😂 wasn't expecting this from Achara. Good Lord.
Andy is like a loyal puppy, melts my heart
Yes, some of these shots were amazing at the theater!
Achara you and steph have to watch the other Evil dead movies
Thr black guy plays a weird robot so well. What a great actor.
David Johnson, remember the name, he’s hopefully gonna have a huge career.
@@thedarkknight2221i saw him in Industry few years ago and remember thinking he was great at acting, fun to see him get big roles. Hopefully more!
Finally
.. an alien movie with an intelligent plot.. great characters. And actors and director on board to produce something worthy of the material .
What're you babbling about?
David Johnson steals this movie
He really does, I think everyone agrees. Amazing acting
@@Quzga well besides Perri Nemiroff who I’m convinced will never say a man stole any Movie even if it’s a all male cast and the only woman is Kylie Jenner She’ll either say nothing or say Kylie stole the movie
44:25 - U guys need to watch the prequels of the Alien francise to understand this part/scene of the lore.
The *”Offspring”* looked like every nightmare I’ve ever had rolled into one, cloned itself, fucked the clone, and then birthed THAT! Also the director said the video game Alien: Isolation was a massive influence on this movie, and it shows. He literally put things like the save points and emergency levers from the game in the background. I genuinely believe that Romulus’ success helped to green light the sequel to Isolation.
That is... Horrifyingly accurate.
@@refurbishedtechpriest9076 finally someone gets it! And now if you are a DBZA fan I gotta ask. What’re you doin? What’re you doing? Thwartin’ my plans?
@@thedarkknight2221 Thwarting your plans...? ... Yes.
Muffin button would've solved all of this. Also What has science done!
@@theeLonelyRedPanda sweetheart I don’t see a sandwich with that beer.🤣🤣🤣🤣God they turned him into such a monster!
Cailee Spaeny is also great in Pacific Rim 2. She has good chemistry with Jon Boyega.
The best duo reactor combo for sure. Stephs reactions are so good. Great voice.
0:23 - Nope, it takes place between ALIEN and ALIENS.
What I love about that movie are all those sound effects from Alien: Isolation. That movie payed good respects for the original movie and the game.
I like that they also put the save phone in there, and when you see them in the movie, things are bout to get bad.
Achara, Steph, so happy you two are watching this. I've seen this movie twice in theaters, can't stop watching it to be honest. Really looking forward to buying it on DVD/Bluray. I enjoyed the human aspect of this movie, the whole cast seems tight knit, on/off screen.
The Offspring's reveal in total silence was really unnerving and took my breath away from terror. This movie is a really amazing addition to the entire franchise.
Speaking of Aliens, I recommend Men in Black trilogy. It's totally worth it 👌.
My two favourite!
Ayyyyy finally! Best Alien movie since 1986s Aliens!!
Definitely
Kinda crazy when an installment to such an old franchise is able to hold such quality.
The movie that I remember Cailee Spaeny most from is Pacific Rim: Uprising. She played Amara Namani. The girl who built the illegal Jaeger from scrape and was subsequently recruited as a cadet jagger pilot.
lol so happy to see this I can close out my work shift with this video … perfect timing 😊
It takes place between Alien and Aliens!
“Ooh, God, that just feels wrong.” 🤣🤣 Why is that, Achara, lol?
This was such a good movie, i was trying so hard not to scream in the theater
Actually takes place between Alien and Aliens
The offspring is one of the best looking horror creatures i have seen in a while.
Felt like such an improvement over the Newborn 🤮🤮
@@oliviawilliams6204 Newborn was alright but The Offspring was much better. Having an actual actor in a suit/makeup definitely helped.
Bet they wished they'd surveyed the room prior to taking out those cryo cannisters in the alien stasi chamber. If they did then it would have a been a simple matter of switching the depleted pods with the useable ones that way preventing the problem all together. But i guess they're kids..........
By the way the designs for aliens comes from the artist HR GIGER. he made a art piece book called the necronomicon. It's full of a bunch of demonic fallen angel entities attached to advanced technology and how he got his inspiration is that he had dreams about these images, demons gave him the inspiration to his artwork through his dreams. Kinda like how Aleister Crowley got his inspiration for drawing the demonic entity called "Lam" that looks like a Grey alien, an entity which he says he summoned from during occultic rituals. Jack Parsons inventor of the rocket ship also saw the same entity and also HP Lovecraft.
Ive always loved his work. The biomechanical style is strangely comforting to me no matter how grotesque it gets 💀
So "aliens" are just dimensional beings summoned with negative energy.
I can hardly wait for the Bluray to come out.
When I saw it in the cinema I enjoyed it, but the myriad little winks and nods to the other films (visual, script, music, etc...) did take me out a TINY bit of the movie. They just distracted me a bit.
Watching this reaction was great because at least I know I can ignore the winks and nods next time I watch it.
I did really enjoy this movie.
omg hi!!! ive been waiting for your reaction sm
You guys definitely need to watch The Negotiator on 1998 I believe this Samuel l Jackson I think you would like
Loved the movie. First time watching an alien movie in theaters. My parents did not allow me to go see alien vs predator when it first came out.
39:43 the scream before Kay falls down is the same scream when Dallas is ambushed in Alien.
I won't lie, when I saw this in theaters I had VERY mixed feelings about the offspring thing... I was worried it would end up being another incident as Resurrection lol But I was thoroughly surprised. This was absolutely the best Alien movie since Aliens in 1986, by a large margin. Everything from the stellar acting performances of everyone, to the set designs, to the practical effects, hell even to the lighting, this movie was superb. If you really want to understand the "pathogen" conversation in the lab, you really need to see both Prometheus and Covenant though. While not my favorites in the franchise, they aren't altogether bad movies at all (though it took me over four years to change my mind about Covenant). This movie is on par with some of the books and let me tell you, many of the books I've read DESERVE to be made into movies. I really hope an official novel for this movie is announced at some point (if it hasn't been already) so I can read it and get even more canon lore, like confirmation on who Kay's baby's father is. I heard it speculated that it's from her cousin, Bjorn, but I don't know if that's factual or just speculation from the fanbase. This movie totally revived the franchise with the fresh blood it desperately needed. I'd love to see Sigourney return for one final send off so that Ripley finally, finally gets the happy ending she deserves. It's a slim chance hope, because this entire franchise is basically the epitome of hopelessness and squashing happiness lol I know many people complained about the late Ian Holm's appearance being used as Rook in this film too (because it looked like bad CGI or something), but I was super impressed with what they did and using an impaired science division bot was genius because it couldn't ambulate very well so it was intentionally twitchy and glitched.
I really hope they learn from the success of this film and go further with the franchise in the horror and suspense direction. I'd really love to see another movie from this director in the franchise since he obviously is a big fan and knows what the larger fanbase loves about it. Mr. Alvarez struck lightning in a bottle and given his impressive resume I know he could continue to give this franchise the love it deserves
imdb reviews scored this decently but the titles were called it a great "fanfiction" or "cover band". after watching it, i understood.
I actually really enjoyed both of your reactions. I liked that yall haven’t seen all of them. So many reactors ive seen are super fans and it can be a little overwhelming watching with super fans. Great reaction from both of you.
I don't do scary movies, but for an Achara and Steph reaction I'll brave it. Glad I did, it was a fun watch.
Ripley IS a mother. Her daughter Amanda was 12 in the original film but died before the second.
watching this in theather makes it even crazier with the sound design, and the silence, i watched it 3 times in theather
4D was so fun for me!!
Fede Álvarez just saved Alien franchise and just like Dan Trachtenberg saved Predator franchise in Prey 2022. Now we just need a really good director to save Terminator.
Id say that if you're happy with the viewing experiences you've had, you can definitely stop here. If you want to go down the rabbit hole, every other movie is interesting in its own merits, but the weight of expectations drag them down quite a bit in comparison to Alien, Aliens and Alien: Romulus. These are truly the best 3.
This movie isn't after Alien 1. It takes place after Alien: Covenant as a sequel, but before Alien 1 as a prequel. HOWEVER, it also retcons alot from Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. The only thing kept from those movies are essentially who went to each location, why they went, who live, and who died. The asteroid they were searching for and found at the beginning of Romulus contained the Alien that was ejected from the ship at the end of Alien: Covenant.
Also, the "asshole" was the dad. He was also her cousin. The other guy, who was her brother, stated that the "asshole" was their cousin during the introduction of the characters.
"One more thing" if Andy opened that door, even if the Xenomorph was all the way across the room, it would have made it to the door with ease before it closed. They are also EXTREMELY intelligent as Predators. It was definitely waiting for them to open the door. Once it saw they weren't going to, it took her.
Hello Achara & Steph!😊 In the beginning the ship wreckage in space they are investigating is the "Nostromo". That is Ripley's main mining ship that she exploded in the first "Alien" film. They are looking for an alien being in space, which they recover. I believe it is the one Ripley blasted into space, from the escape pod. The shell they show us after it is removed has an imprint of the Alien that was inside. It does look like a fossil. The original egg opening design for the Alien films did resemble the female anatomy and it was changed.😉 If you notice "Rook" is wearing a similar shirt as "Ash" from the first Alien film. Nice reactions to this very unusual Alien film, Ladies!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I honestly think you guys have seen the best three. I’d rank them Aliens, Alien: Romulus, and then Alien.
The other films is the franchise were okay, but none of them made a lasting impression to the point I even feel the need to see them again.
The three you’ve seen are the only ones I’ve seen repeatedly. They are excellent and I feel like you have no need to see the others.
I almost didn't recognize Steph without the dark red lipstick. She looks amazing either way.
"That's my favorite line in the first movie" -referring to the ultimate quote from the second film / lol
Best Alien movie of the last years.
43:27 I love how Andy lit flipped a 180 on them on what they were gonna do to him 🤟🏽🙌🏽
I need watch comedy after this movie reaction before I go sleep 😂😂😂😂, good reaction ladies ❤❤❤❤
So no one’s gonna talk about how good Steph looks
What a beautiful motherhood
I really didn't expect much from this movie, especially after what we saw in covenant, but it was a pleasant surprise, the film went back to the roots of more suspense and not too much action, one of the best movies of the year imo.
Such a well put together movie, the story, the sound, the visuals, the acting, everything about this movie was well executed! Seeing peoples reaction to the Hybrid at the end is hilarious 😂
I think my favourite part of this movie is that they finally gave us another incredible female hero. An intelligent, strong yet vulnerable and sweet hero. The best Alien film for years. The end monster makes sense as well as this franchise’s root is playing on the potential nightmare of reproduction.
by the time this is done and the credits roll everyone should be impressed it showed part of the story
I love this movie. So much so I dragged to of my friends who never watched the Alien franchise and convert them into fans.
I think Isabela Merced's character Kay? Is the most interesting and it would've been such a spin or surprise if she was the one that ultimately survived.
Rain is just another Ripley "clone" and this franchise needs something fresh. I was hoping Kay would make it and Rain died...
Yesssss my fave reactors on this channel!
I love the way this movie looks. This is definitely the best movie since aliens.
I saw this movie in theaters this summer and i enjoyed .Fede Alvarez respected Ridley Scott legacy
Yeah better than Ridley himself lol
STEPH :
"OPEN THE WINDOW".
😂😂😂
I love that they stuck with the analog tech.
Great reaction ladies! I love Alien: Romulus too. It’s my 3rd favorite Alien movie, right behind the classic first two.
With Romulus, I think we finally have the definitive Alien trilogy: Alien, then Alien: Romulus, and then finally Aliens. As for the rest of the Alien movies, I don’t think they’re essential viewing, though I liked the prequel Prometheus enough to recommend it. Prometheus will tell you the origins of the black goo stuff that Romulus features (the stuff that Kay injects herself with), and it will also tell you what that dead alien sitting in the chair in the first film is. Not a great story, and the characters are a little weak, but it’s entertaining enough.
The next prequel movie, Alien: Covenant, was a disappointment for me. WAY too bloody, with a terrible cliffhanger ending that still hasn’t been resolved yet. Not particularly pleasant to sit through, but that’s just me. Who knows, you might like it. Watch at your own risk!
As for the two movies that follow Aliens in the timeline, Alien 3 pissed me off in the first 10 minutes and never recovered. I don’t think it needed to be made. And Alien: Resurrection seems it was simply made as an apology for Alien 3. Well, it wasn’t much of an apology. Another unnecessary sequel in my opinion.
So, that leaves the definitive trilogy of Alien, Alien: Romulus, and Aliens. Definitely the Top 3 Alien movies for me. Glad you enjoyed Romulus, ladies! Cheers. 😊
Great reaction these women are dummy’s can’t even get the timeframe right it’s sets set before or after alien 3 did she say that’s how thick these women are all they keep saying Is, she’s so smart same thing over and over they haven’t even seen Prometheus there beyond irritating great reaction are you HIGH there thick as 2 planks with there stupid comments 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
