I don't mean to be a dick here, but seriously never? We used to make that joke as kids watching this film. I've heard people say "Queen takes Bishop" at that point in the film so much I kinda groaned when Jeremy said it.
I'm with Snadzies...this was the first time I'd ever heard of that joke. It's a good one...I'm also slightly embarrassed that I never thought of it myself, but I'm not much of a chess person.
Bc Chess isn't funny tp get it. :D I can't believe a grown man thought of others "morning wood" when they were likely going to be fighting aliens later on.. (I added thr last in case he's into dudes, Bc u never know)
No sin off for the fact that for once they get the countdown at the end exactly right? The movie tells us the explosion happens in 15 minutes, and it takes exactly 15 minutes of movie time to get there.
They probably didn't think to time it since it was that long and everyone is used to timer being wrong. That's awesome though. High five to whomever edited the movie.
I watched it yesterday and I checked the timing, I thought it all happened quicker though... So I thought the complex starts exploding here and there earlier than notified, due to pressure... Your comment makes me doubt now, I gotta re-watch it :)
It wasn't the last time James Cameron did something like that. In Titanic, all the scenes set in 1912 total up to 2 hours and 40 minutes, which was the exact time it took for the actual Titanic to sink after it hit the iceberg. Cameron is probably the most OCD filmmaker of all time.
I watched Aliens last night and finally figured out how the aliens got inside the complex through the floor and ceiling. There was a scene earlier when the sentry guns were firing at a massive onslaught of xenomorphs. Well since they bleed acid they basically all got riddled with bullets. The spatter and gushing of acid caused massive holes in the metal structure all around them. So those bled out, sacrificing themselves so the others could get inside. This was never addressed in the movie but thinking with xenomorph hive mindset, that’s definitely how I would approach the situation.
yeah the aliens are actually super intelligent, the highest they tested in one of the novels or comics was an IQ of 175, the average human IQ is 100. the alien queens are also sapient and can make plans/think ahead etc. this intelligence explains also some of the behaviour of the aliens, like when newt fell down and only one alien went for her, why? because she was no danger to the hive and just one is enough to deal with her, or why the queen went up into space with the survivors, because that queen knew very well that shit was about to explode on the planet and that ship was her only escape.
@@possemis The thing about the Queen hiding on the dropship to escape the blast has always bothered me. Where exactly was she hiding? When you see the dropship in space going back to the Sulaco you can clearly see the landing skids are drawn back into the ship and she's not clinging to anything. So like... where was she hiding? Alien Queens are massive so it would have had to be a place on the ship big enough to conceal her presence, right?
@@SniffHeinkel Yeah I never understood that part either. I even paused at the scene where the landing gear was lifting upwards and I saw no sign of the queen...well anywhere. It's like she disappeared from that scene very briefly.
I always felt that they were impressed by Ripley operating the mech suit because they had assumed she was just a civilian they were gonna have to babysit, not someone who would actually be useful and pull their own weight.
Operating the mech suit is her full-time job, so they were probably blown away watching a certified expert do it instead of the clumsy way they are used to seeing it done in the fleet.
@@CountArtha Nah, it was just their reaction that she was trying to fit in with the grunts... she didn't sit with them during lunch, she sat with Gorman and Burke, so they assumed she was a stuck up civilian, but now she's showing a few practical skills and bonding with the Sgt and Cpl, so that's the dynamic going on there.
Yeah, I always got that, too. Apone asked, "I don't know, is there anything you can do?" as if he thought the answer was, "Sure, I can get coffee and file stuff and maybe bake you some muffins!" Then he got pwned by a civvie who actually knows her ass from a hole in the ground and works for a livin'.
I don't know how to operate a forklift...I've seen some TH-cam videos on how to accidentally destroy a warehouse inventory with one though. :-p Also, not everyone in the military gets forklift training and/or certification.
In no way does the stunt man in that alien suit compare to Bolaji Badejo from the first film. His physique was truly unique as his arms and legs were slightly longer than usual and he stood 6'10. The alien that emerges behind Plot Point Girl looks like a cosplayer. RIP Bolaji Badejo. Glad you never had to reprise your role in these crappy sequels.
speaking as a soldier, combat seating is indeed a thing :) when you just move from A to B you just pick a spot in the APC, but when you are tactically moving, you sit so that when you disembark, you come out of the vehicle in the right formation
Well, at the very least, Ripley’s daughter had the chance to live out her life in peace to a ripe old age. Thanks to her mom, she never had to encounter the xeno... oh wait..
@@BoltBarkingatthemoon Alien Isolation would be such a great concept for a sequel, taking place between the timeline of Alien and Aliens after Ripley goes missing, her daughter grows up and goes looking for her.
In military speak saying "Look into my eye" while opening it wider (sometimes with your middle finger) means "Look into my eye and see how much I don't give a f**k."
Al Matthews (Apone) was a Marine sergeant in Vietnam so he was well acquainted with the gesture and military culture. I learned the gesture when I went into the military in the mid-80s.
Yeah and it's also notable that Newt,as a pre-teen girl with no training and weapons,stayed alive for months(she's a young child so she's small and thin thus she can hide much more effectively than an adult could-I remember all of the tight spaces I could fit into and squeeze through when I was a little kid).
@@JR-ju3kj I usta climb up and down the houses 3 story laundry chute when I was a kid sometimes just to sneak into my older brother's room, after he put locks on his main door, just to play a computer game known as escape velocity lmao. Eventually he put a lock on the laundry chute lmao.
My parents actually explained the reason why Ripley started setting fire to the eggs around 12:50. There was an unspoken deal between Ripley and the Xenomorph Queen. Ripley showed the queen that her flamethrower worked, and if she wasn't allowed to take Newt and leave safely, she would torch the eggs. The queen, understanding this, allowed Ripley to take Newt, but, being the evil xenomorph that she is, the queen tried to sneakily hatch one of the eggs prematuraley to get Ripley and Newt. In responce, Ripley spoke in the launguage of flamethrowers "that wasn't the deal" and torched the open egg and closed eggs.
That's how I saw it too. If you don't kill my baby, then I won't kill your babies. THAT was why Ripley gave the queen that nasty "how dare you" look hen the egg hatched. The Alien queen had broken the deal.
thats how it was meant but come on, the queen activating one of her eggs? I always thought the eggs would react to body temperature or something (the only explanation I came up with) I say the queen held the other xenomorphs back but the egg hatching was just random so the deal was broken
🇺🇸When Sgt Apone says “Look into my eye”, it’s a way of flipping someone off by using the middle finger while pointing at ones eye. Old school diss lol.
@@Lordoftheswollen It is a old-school military saying, the full sentence is "Look into my eye, do you see any tears?" which is used to depict that the situation at hand is not something to cry over, they have a job to do and that is all that matters. Also... this moment is a lowkey insult as he drops his eyelid with the middle finger.
Alien 1 + 2 had good, believable ensemble casts and a claustrophobic setting. Alien 3 kinda had it, personally I don't think it's a terrible film, but you know, issues. All the rest after that had neither.
Them firing weapons in the first encounter with the Aliens is why the whole facility explodes in the end. Burke didn't say if they fire their weapons this place will immediately explode the instant a bullet hits. It is a nuclear reactor, it takes a few hours to melt down. There is even a scene where Bishop points out the emergency venting and says that they have 4 hours from that point to get off the planet. And yes, Burke found some unconscious face huggers, the live ones in the jars. They even show the empty jars they were in. Jeremy really slipping on this one.
xbeaker wrong, the UD-4L Cheyenne dropship (the Bug Stomper) flown by Ferro and Spunkmeyer that were both killed in-flight by a xenomorph, crashed into the APC and atmosphere processer and caused the subsequent meltdown of the reactor
GankbotShuk I mean too be fair it's easy to see why he thought that they did make a point to say that would happen if they fired live rounds. in fact the ship crashing might have only solidified and already inevitable meltdown.
Hey, maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked pal! Yeah man, but it's a dry heat Maybe we got 'em demoralized etc etc. Hudson is one of the most quotable characters in cinema history
Former Marine. Combat seating is a thing. Take a seat with all your gear, ready for action. Get out of the vehicle in assigned order, rifleman first to provide cover. Maybe heavy gun to ward off enemies. Depends on mission. Blah, blah. Take that sin away.
Narrator doesn't know what he's talking about 85% of the time. Seems to watch movies through eyes of the ignorant masses, rather taking into context the story lines/reasons and meanings of what's going on in any particular movie. I used to think this channel was funny, but now it's more annoying then anything. Glad youtube unsubscribed me.
Hey they established hypersleep prevents aging. It would also keep them in peak physical condition for combat rather then spending two weeks or more confined to a space ship. It greatly reduces the need for food and clean water. Even for the short time they traveled in this movie hypersleep seems very reasonable. Take those sins away.
It also saves on air and having to keep the ship pressurized. Help is 17 days away, that doesn't mean the base they launched from is 17 days away. It could have been several months away.
There's a persistent theory that hyperdrive in the Alien universe has a time-distortion effect. So a 17-day trip causes months to pass inside the ship, thus the need for hypersleep.
That scene of Ripley burning the Alien queens eggs is probably one of the most iconic moments in cinema history. That's gotta be worth at least -50 sins.
True, but the question is, if she _hadn't_ wasted her time burning the eggs, then would the queen have followed? I would say not. So all she did was (essentially) kill Bishop and nearly herself and Newt.... Too much Cinesins
Ripley's decision to burn the eggs is a genuine sin because Ripley is supposed to be the character that provides wise counsel. However, in this case her actions make no sense even on a surface level - ie even an idiot would have realised there is no point at all taking any diversion to destroy things in a facility that is going to be destroyed in 10 minutes anyway. This is one of the few genuine sins in the film
I'm generally not a fan of Bill Paxton's acting (nothing to do with his skill, just a style preference) but he was one of the best things about Aliens. He had so many of the best lines with great delivery: "Game over man!" "Why don't you put [Newt] in charge?"
It differes in many countries. First Alien Covenant movie was shown 2 days back - and that is what I know. Maybe there was even earlier screening. I can tell you how it ends.. if you do not believe I seen this:D And I tell you - if Prometheus was considered problematic..you will love Prometheus after that:D
I've seen this film more times than I can count. Easily 50 times, probably closer to 100, and I can almost quote it word for word. And yet, every time I watch it, it still creates the same emotions. It's still scary, tense, edge of your seat, brilliant, atmospheric, amazing, funny every time.
Yeah, they don't make movies like this anymore. Consider it in context of one of the more popular tv series at the moment, the Last of Us. In the scene where they meet Newt, Ripley would be shoving her tongue down the child's throat within ten minutes. Hudson and Drake would be naked in the escape pods, schlobbing each other. They'd have bashed president Trump at least 800 times, since he'd been dead by, oh, about 700 years by then. The one remaining Christian in the UNIVERSE who would be wearing a crucifix would be ENDLESSLY ridiculed as being closed minded, stupid and hateful. There would be a twenty minute debate between the lesbean crewmembers and the tranny lieutenant about using ANY GUNS, with the consensus being they should call in social workers to establish communications with the aliens. AnD NOT ONE OF 'em WOULD BE WHITE. It's just not worth watching ANYTHING on the screen anymore,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,including Cinema Sins - gosh you guys SUCK at this now.
10:20 The movie explains that Burke used the two facehuggers in the freezing containers Bishop told Ripley about earlier at 9:50 in your video. Burke unscrewed the lids just enough for the facehuggers to escape, slid them into the room and locked the door. The facehuggers were already frozen in stasis by Bishop and took a while to wake up. It shows a shot of the specimen freezing containers knocked over near the door. So that's obviously not a sin, given the movie actually explains it if you're paying attention. And basically it's exactly what you said.... He used the unconscious ones Bishop had frozen on his orders.
Yes, this sin confused me as well. This is explained pretty blatantly and its obvious what had happened, but I have seen the movie dozens of times so I guess I can understand them missing it.
You all didnt notice how he ridiculed the si n where they used the explosive shells which in turned TRIGGERED the nuclear reaction which was why they had to remote dial another ship down. Also, the reason why they didn't leave a crewman behind was because they were able to remote dial the Sulaco from the APC, but didn't account for the APC getting destroyed, Their secondary option using the colony transmitter from the command center, which they didnt expect the direct line from being damaged by the explosions/alien gunfights from the civilians. Also, Hudson did look for the colonists first thing from their PDT's, but he had to screen the entire colony and finally found them under the thermal regulators under the nuclear reactor. Boss went to school and didnt pay attention.
Terry - is there a big difference? I've never seen the director's cut, and was going to show Alien and Aliens to my husband, who's never seen them. Should I try to get my hands on that version? Any advice would be much appreciated.
This is why I love Cinema Sins. After giving us an awesome sin tally of the movie and just an amazing amount of movies he watched to sin them for our amusement, he finishes off by showing support for mental health awareness and that is the CHerry on top for me. Thank you cinema sins.
I would like at least 3 sins revoked from this master work: 1. Burk used the aliens from the lab. You can see the Jars in the scene. He didn't just find them. 2. They are not laughing at Ripley because she can operate the mech loader. They are laughing at the innuendo of "Where do you want it". 3. Newt would be good at cinema sins - surely that is a sin off?
4. They did damage the reactor by shooting the aliens in the nest. That is why the whole place exploded at the end. 5. The last colonists with the chestburster could have been hiding like Newt but got caught just prior to the Marines landing.
#2 they were mostly laughing at themselves for underestimating her and instead of shying away, she stuck their faces in it...they respected her for that!
This is one of the very few sequels that completely and totally changed the tone from the original and ended up being just as good, possibly better than the original. The first one is a top notch horror classic with some of the scariest imagery ever and the sequel is a top notch action movie with some spooky moments.
ZergrushEddie I agree, it was a badass sequel. I remember seeing it when it came out in theaters back in 1986. When Ripley appeared in the robot loader and said "Get away from her you bitch!", the audience actually cheered. Wow has it been 30 years? I'm old.
Aliens is still incredibly scary! It's not JUST an Action Movie! TBH I'd say it's MORE Scary than the original because it shows more what the Xenomorphs can do and to humans who actually know how to fight back rather than average joe's in a mining vessel!
My favorite film of all time. There's "NOTHING" wrong with this utter masterpiece. Cinematic gold. I will go as far as saying how dare you slate this movie.
I knew a comment like this would be embedded here. The reason why EVERY movie contains sins is because movies aren't based on reality, so reality can be circumvented in order to further the plot. That doesn't take away from the movie's brilliance, however.
No sin off for that moment when one of the crew move past Ripley, putting a hand on her shoulder, and she jumps? I loved that little detail! It showed how totally on edge the crew (or at least Ripley) were and was a lovely little bit of acting
@@bitterdbyu5291 If done in a funny way, otherwise it just comes off as just really bitter, petty, and humorless. Probably about time cinemasins did another one about themselves, or maybe another comedy channel did one about them.
This is one of the run-downs where I'm not even all that convinced by all the so-called "sins", lol Its just such a good movie. The tone and atmosphere in the first act is so spot on.
You went on about 'how did Burke manage to get the facehuggers in the medical lab to attack Ripley and Newt' but it's obvious!! They discovered there were two live ones in the medical lab when they first arrived and, while Ripley and Newt were asleep, Burke simply released them from their tanks, took Ripley's gun, ran out the room and locked them in. The fact that Ripley saw the empty tank on the floor when she woke up is what made her realise the facehuggers were loose. I don't know how you missed that.
But the question is how Burke got both facehuggers into the room and out of the tanks without getting a face full of alien wingwong. As soon as you open one you're gonna have a bad day. Now, it's possible that he set one tank in the room still partially sealed and then chucked the second one at it with the seal broken. However, the fact that he pulled that bullshit off without once again getting a face full of alien wingwong AND successfully releasing both facehuggers is still worthy of a sin.
I will say that even if those facehugger were alive, they were weak. They were maintain partially colder environment than an original egg. So, they could be studied...until one of them got the scientist or doctor and an infestation started...or whatever. The idea is that the facehuggers were put in the room in their canister, unlock or unsealed and left them until they were strong enough to escape and start hunting... (my guess...)
I’m so glad to see all the comments saying Aliens is the best movie ever - because it really is. First time I watched it (on VHS as I wasn’t old enough when it was on at the cinema) I had to get on my feet and run on the spot while watching that 15 minute countdown as Ripley goes to rescue Newt. I remember renting it from the video store repeatedly when I was in my teens. The action, the plot and.....that dialogue. It’s fantastic.
david mulligan I loved 1 & 2, But 3 trounced all over Aliens by doing the “oh by the way Newt and Hicks died” which nullified Ripley’s heroic actions in the second half of Aliens. Couldn’t forgive it for that!
acxez knightNite and here we are in 2020 and Disney just did the samething with Star Wars. I’m convinced Hollywood writers, producers, and studios don’t know how to complete a story. The only series of films I can think of that ended correctly was back to the future.
There's clearly no such thing as "the best movie ever" because its a matter of perspective. It boggles my fucking mind that people don't understand that. You might as well be sitting around gushing about which is the "best" colour.
To answer the question, as seen in alien river of pain, at the end it clarified newt had survived for months on her own, due to her size and knowledge of the ventilation system thanks to the game she played with her brother and friends known as monster maze, which I really loved as you definitely see kids doing this out of boredom
I love the "Bitch!" quote as much as anyone... But I am constantly dismayed at how underappreciated the "gearing up" sequence is... Here's Ripley, confronting her greatest living Hell of being trapped with hundreds of the same monsters who killed all her crew members and damn near killed her. She's seen dozens more be killed by same monsters since arriving on the planet. Genuinely scared for her life, trying to evacuate to safety, she suddenly loses her newly found surrogate daughter to the horde of monsters... and what does she do? She duct-tapes a goddamn flamethrower and an assault rifle together and _marches straight down there to get her back!_ That is _way_ more badass to me than even the final confrontation...
To be honest you don't need to be a gun expert to shoot someone. I mean, go through ten minutes of gun training and you'll immediately know how to use one. Doesn't mean you will be accurate, but you still will know how to use it.
*Looks at Forgotten Camel with narrowed eyes* Being accurate, knowing how to load and shoot under pressure, very, very underrated in movies lol. Then again, most idiots thinks its realistic when the main character can blast away soldiers whether they have weapon/military training or not.
I'm assuming you've never used a gun before... I mean seriously. When I shot a shotgun for the first time It wasn't even that hard to reload or even aim with the darn thing. some guy threw like 5 skeets and i hit 3, for the first time! Ever since I've been hooked on guns and the only trouble you'll have with it is cleaning it well enough so that the gun does not malfunction. What about a regular gun with a mag? Again, not that hard to reload with a magazine. It's not rocket science like you claim it to be. You do not need military training to use one. One more thing, she is not fighting soldiers. If she were, things should have gone way differently.
What I still can't understand after all these years, why was The Company still so upset about losing the ship after 57 years as seen in the meeting with Ripley? Most of them ( or none of them ) would have been born when the ship exploded. Yet they act like it happened last week, lol. You think they would have written it off ages ago.
This was the most intense movie I ever saw in my life in a movie theater back in 1986. People who did not have no idea how edge of your seat this movie was. And we were in a theater that had an immense sound system and a giant movie screen, and I remember when the transport ship is screaming through the alien planet atmosphere, you know the part where Hudson says "We're on an express elevator to hell, going down! " and the transport ship drops? Holy crap it was LOUD as hell, the whole theater shook, then the pilot says "We're in the pipe, five by five" and the camera shot moves to the outside it got LOUDER, I couldn't believe it, and from there where they land and get out and move it, it was so intense like you can't believe. And when they start the tracker and the little girl Newt ran in front of it and you hear that scream?, practically everyone in the audience shit themselves lol lol I must have watched this movie countless times since
Yes, saw it in '86, as well, and they had new surround sound systems in the theaters in those days that were SUPER LOUD and crystal clear and this movie was a completely different experience in that theater. Extremely intense viewing under those conditions - I was actually tired after the movie from the stress of viewing it. Everyone jumped at least a few times. Great movie.
@@nihilistlivesmatter - Are you serious? Back then I went every week. I'm talking about these pathetic set ups they have today in movie theaters, they cant even compare. If the theaters today played their sound systems as loud as they did back in 1986 they would be fined or closed down. Did you also know that rock bands today are also restricted from playing past a certain volume. Thank fucking democrats
Totally. When I was in college in 1989 my roommate used to play 1 of 2 movies constantly... HIGHLANDER, and ALIENS. I could recite that dialogue to this day... Such an awesome movie.. Too bad about Alien 3,4, and whatever debacle that followed.
Well and Ripley is one of the best bad-ass women in movies ever. I sort of miss when movie characters had character, Ripley is far from perfect but at least she developed over the cause of her franchise(I'm not counting the clone from the 4th? movie).
Aliens is possibly my favorite movie. I'm so glad that they stopped the franchise there and didn't make any other alien movies that would totally screw up the entire franchise and pollute the amazing legacy of the first two standout films.
So true! I cannot imagine would a 3rd Alien movie would be like...but there was no need to ever make one as this was perfection achieved. Same as Terminator. T2 was flawless...additional films would just dilute perfection. And don't get me started on Star Wars. Can you imagine what it would be like if they made sequels? Those would actually be pretty good because they would be smart enough to plot the whole story out ahead of time, right? And it would be awesome to see Luke, Han, & Leia together again. I mean...what's the point of doing it without them!?
Star Wars is a trilogy. Alien & Aliens, period. Exorcist and Exorcist III, period. (I do like Alien 3, but it should have been a one-off in its own universe.)
I love your channel…and u know the studios actually pay attention to you guys…….true story…..but, this is an absolute masterpiece…so I clicked on it……in order to interject my 2 cents…….paused it immediately…..and refused to watch it…..because it’s so dam good……….it’s flawless……..
If space is so big that Ripley floated through the core systems then its extra convenient that they picked her up anywhere else. Thats like drifting through all the major shipping lanes and then being found floating off Antarctica, except the ocean is a trillion times bigger
Or, the company found her, knowing what happened to her, decided to let her sleep, colonized the planet while searching for the alien and only woke her up when they needed her for this mission. sounds more plausible to me.
Fun Fact: During the siege on the colony station there was an additional scene that was cut that showed the marines preparing defenses, including deploying 4 motion-sensor turrets. They then watched the ammo counters tick down. It added a lot more tension to the scene and the movie would have been much better with it.
I like how that portrays Hicks as the solid, sensible one, right before everybody else just freaks out. You can see why Hicks looks so burned-out, dealing with these idiots.
When Ripley arrives at the loader, that's the pawn arriving at the 8th square and becoming a Queen, then taking the other Queen. And it is as of this move that we have an entirely new game.
Just a pedantic point, regardless of how short the time frame, using hypersleep or suspended animation will always reduce the supplies needed (ie food, water, etc), and thus makes sense even for a few days.
So they can fit a large APC on its own ramp in its own drop ship, from an orbital ship stocked with mech loaders in unnecessarily large loading bays, yet they worry about 17 days supply of food and water for that many people, enough to resort to hyper sleep?
I’m honestly surprised they didn’t do that yet. Merchandising creates no endings to story apparently. The game Alien Isolation is something in between Alien and the time of Aliens.
Audible made a "radio-drama" type production where Ripley ends up on another adventure long before the 57-year mark. "Alien: Out of the Shadows" it was called. Did a good job -- even got all the sound effects right and found a woman who sounds exactly like Sigorney Weaver.
1. The ship does a hyper jump and it takes 17 days to reach LV426 2. Its not a ship its a building 3. The colony has had people for over 20 years Newt was born there
"space is like, really, REALLY big". I am so happy this channel exists. Seriously, it's a big part of the positive part of my life. I love laughing and there aren't many media out there that can make me lough uncontrollable a few times every viedo they make. Just thank you that you exist. And have a nice day!
- What gave these guys any indication that the air here is breathable? After the door is open a probe scans the area. - Ripley trusts someone from Weyland Corp. when he says they're not going to bring the alien back. Quite the contrary, she goes bc she doesn't trust the company. - Why bring her along? Maybe bc she's the only non-dead person that ever saw an alien. Experience, and a potential loose end. - Androids shouldn't need hypersleep, right? Androids are designed in such a way to make humans feel comfortable around them. That's why they simulate personality and are built to look like us. Same reason why he sits with the rest of the crew for breakfast. - 'Look into my eye'. Believe it or not that's an expression used in my native language. It means exactly what the scene suggests (in this case, 'don't mess with me'). - Bishop misses. It's a machine but that doesn't mean it's 100% perfect. It's made by humans after all. - Does it matter what Bishop prefers? They're programmed to interact with humans. Simulating personality and some character facilitates that. It's not redundant from the human's psychological PoV. - Ash was ordered to do what he did, it wasn't a glitch. Isn't that the point? What do you want Burke to say? 'Yes, we program murderous androids just in case somebody needs to die'. - Why did Burke go? Maybe bc the company knows he's the kind of guy that wouldn't hesitate to bring the alien back at all costs. Burke is Ash 2.0 (much worse bc he has free will). In other words, bc he's a greedy bastard. - 'Every other asshole that's been attacked by these aliens is super fucking dead'. Apone and Dietrich are alive. - Why Ripley destroys the eggs? It's an emotional response. - Why the queen waits until the dropship gets to the Sulaco? Forcing an entrance inside the dropship from the outside and in-flight might be impossible. - Why spend all this time cutting Bishop in half? It didn't take long. The aliens are extremely hostile. Bishop is in the humans team. I always wondered how the company colonized Lv-426 but never found the alien ship. Newt's family (prospectors) finds it, traveling by ground vehicle, must not be THAT far. Besides, a planet surface scan should have detected such an anomaly. Also, why the alien beacon stopped transmitting? I've read some explanations but still not convinced. That's 'Aliens' sin, IMO.
The game Alien Isolation, which is canon and explores what happens to Amanda Ripley (Ellen Ripley's daughter) 15 years after the Nostromo disappears, answers your beacon question. The crew of the ship Anisidora discovers the alien ship and deactivates the beacon to stop anyone else from discovering it and 'stealing their salvage'.
Yeah. That's why the dialogue mentions something like 'you're lucky we picked you up"; the salvage team that finds Ripley is referring to 'picking up' her distress signal, rather than physically stumbling on her by chance.
@@jasonarthurs3885 in actuality her beacon failed, so she was indeed stumbled on by chance, though that was the salvagers did; look for stuff. It's also why they were disappointed when they found her alive. It meant they weren't able to profit from a (nearly) functional free shuttlecraft they found just floating around in space.
The forklift scene is the most accurate military moment in this movie. I was in the army (15R) for 7 years, I drove a forklift in a warehouse before joining the Army. When a forklift operator was needed, I already had my OSHA cert. Chain of command was happy, they didn't have to send anyone to training, already had experience/confidence, and was able to operate similar equipment with just a little bit of familiarization. Plus it seemed like most people are afraid or nervous about operating heavy equipment. I ran the 25 ton overhead crane, the 10k forklifts, scamps, and LCRTFs.
Hmmm at about 8:00 you sin them for shooting and not setting off the nuclear explosion. But that is what happened. That's why the facility goes nuclear later. They broke the cooling system, and the venting they show later is the emergency system trying to slow the explosion. I don't think that sin was fair.
12:15 also has an unfair sin, Not everyone died that was taken from the marine fight in the hive. They annouce that Sarge and Dietrich aren't dead, just decide it's not feasible to save them. So she is fine for the assumption that Newt is alive.
@@kylelantan9220 Yup and the alien bursting from the chest may have been triggered simply by the presence of out protagonists. It sensed them so it knew it was time to get out of the body, before that it might as well enjoy the host for as long as it can
When the drop ship crashed & exploded in the facility, that started the chain reaction nuclear explosion. When they get back to operations & Bishop points out the emergency venting he states the crash caused too much damage & it cannot be shut down.
You'd honestly be shocked at how many times in the military we actually hit things to make them work. That isn't a sin, it's just reality. There's literally a field phone that we used for decades in artillery that actually has a procedure for troubleshooting in the manual called the "drop test". You hold the thing at waist level and literally just drop it onto a hard surface. It fixes it 99 percent of the time.
@347Jimmy lol in this case, you'd know more than me. I just know it says "drop it" and I've watched my Marines whip the thing into the side of a concrete bunker and it starts working again. I assume it's magic.
Damn right... fucking idiot know it alls who know nothing... I'm done 2 minutes in... anyone trying to talk this much shit about such a legendary movie shouldn't get even 2 minutes of time...
@@johnjones6049 Rose tinted glasses. I'm a huge fan but as a fan I also acknowledge there are some pretty big flaws with the movie. There's also quite a few filming mistakes, such a crew getting caught on film, continuity errors, etc.
@@MichaelGonzalez-hd7kk They didn't have extra magazines, they lost their extra ammo in the crash and had to make due with what was left. That's also why her flamethrower is a bit wonky a few times, because it was damaged in the crash.
@@timemonkey The second dropship was fully armed. There were multiple rifles, grenades and flamethrowers available (rewatch the scene there were plenty lined up to choose from). Her flame was "wonky" because she used up the fuel as she was first blazing the way forward to make sure there were no aliens hiding and then she burned all the eggs.
This video makes me want to watch Aliens again, what a movie! 12:48 It's left open to interpretation why Ripley attacks the nest. I think it's either an effort to distract the Aliens and facilitate her escape, or the movie trying to draw parallels between Ripley and the Alien queen, with Ripley wanting revenge after the Aliens endangered Newt. Or maybe it was simply a cool-looking and cathartic way to get the Alien queen up for the big showdown!
Military version of "you think I care?"... hahaha thanks for the laugh. Terrible guess. It's the finger. I do this to my kids all the time. Jesus, some people!
10:20; Did you not watch the movie? The facehuggers were still in the canisters when Burke dropped them into the room. He opened the lids just far enough for the creatures to get out.
I highly doubt that the writer actually views any of the movies. I'm betting they get most of their information from very short clips picked out for them and trailers.
+Taun-Chi Gaming Then you have just lost whatever fictional money you bet, because they have stated before, in their videos, that they watch the movies multiple times before making a sins video.
The biggest SIN in this film is making us believe that on a giant ship like the SALACO not 1, not 1 fucking human or pilot was left on board to watch the ship while everyone…. All 15 people, take off to the plant they know is infested.
One of my favourite movies of all time..... though I admit it always bothered me that Gorman didn't take a few seconds to explain why they couldn't fire live rounds.
Okay, Jeremy, I know you're smarter than this... Burke didn't "toss a couple of face huggers into the room," they were the still-living specimens that were in the big glass jars the colonists had. They even show the spilled glass jars in the room when Ripley first wakes up.
5 years too late, but the commanding officer's "look into my eye" to Hudson is just a version of the holding up three fingers and saying "read between the lines"--he's flipping him off
+Satellite Star, true, but I'd still sin the decision to have a nap in the _only_ room in their compound that has live facehuggers in it. The two characters who sleep there, Ripley and Newt are the only two alive there who have even seen facehuggers in action. No way they'd choose that room to sleep in, but the writers couldn't imagine another way to show Burke as an evil a-hole.
Friend who I saw this with back when it first came out still, to this day, whenever he is on his way to come visit, will text me "IN THE PIPE FIVE BY FIVE..."
I couldn't imagine how many times I've seen Aliens and yet I never had that "Queen takes Bishop!" joke come to to mind.
I don't mean to be a dick here, but seriously never? We used to make that joke as kids watching this film. I've heard people say "Queen takes Bishop" at that point in the film so much I kinda groaned when Jeremy said it.
I'm with Snadzies...this was the first time I'd ever heard of that joke. It's a good one...I'm also slightly embarrassed that I never thought of it myself, but I'm not much of a chess person.
Neither have I - and i can't count how many times I have watched this movie.
Bc Chess isn't funny tp get it. :D I can't believe a grown man thought of others "morning wood" when they were likely going to be fighting aliens later on.. (I added thr last in case he's into dudes, Bc u never know)
Snadzies as soon as he said that I was like "why didn't I think of that????" Lol
No sin off for the fact that for once they get the countdown at the end exactly right? The movie tells us the explosion happens in 15 minutes, and it takes exactly 15 minutes of movie time to get there.
They probably didn't think to time it since it was that long and everyone is used to timer being wrong. That's awesome though. High five to whomever edited the movie.
That wreaks of James Cameron, that brilliantly anal bastard.
I watched it yesterday and I checked the timing, I thought it all happened quicker though... So I thought the complex starts exploding here and there earlier than notified, due to pressure... Your comment makes me doubt now, I gotta re-watch it :)
It wasn't the last time James Cameron did something like that. In Titanic, all the scenes set in 1912 total up to 2 hours and 40 minutes, which was the exact time it took for the actual Titanic to sink after it hit the iceberg. Cameron is probably the most OCD filmmaker of all time.
Its nice but isn't it simple enough to count how long the scene is and record the countdown announcement after? No need for editing genius.
Bill Paxton is a National Treasure. Because he is the only person in this movie to be killed by an Alien a Predator and a Terminator.
Rest in peace.
He did have a few James Cameron movies. I forgot about him being in Predator 2 until recently when it was on. TBH it's not a very memorable of a movie
Lance Henriksen
And he was NOT mentioned in the Academy Awards Memorium for that year. How about a sin for THAT!
@@Excelsior731 That is a big SIN
I can't believe that had completely escaped my notice! Gods, I'm thick....
I watched Aliens last night and finally figured out how the aliens got inside the complex through the floor and ceiling. There was a scene earlier when the sentry guns were firing at a massive onslaught of xenomorphs. Well since they bleed acid they basically all got riddled with bullets. The spatter and gushing of acid caused massive holes in the metal structure all around them. So those bled out, sacrificing themselves so the others could get inside. This was never addressed in the movie but thinking with xenomorph hive mindset, that’s definitely how I would approach the situation.
yeah the aliens are actually super intelligent, the highest they tested in one of the novels or comics was an IQ of 175, the average human IQ is 100. the alien queens are also sapient and can make plans/think ahead etc. this intelligence explains also some of the behaviour of the aliens, like when newt fell down and only one alien went for her, why? because she was no danger to the hive and just one is enough to deal with her, or why the queen went up into space with the survivors, because that queen knew very well that shit was about to explode on the planet and that ship was her only escape.
@@possemis The thing about the Queen hiding on the dropship to escape the blast has always bothered me. Where exactly was she hiding? When you see the dropship in space going back to the Sulaco you can clearly see the landing skids are drawn back into the ship and she's not clinging to anything. So like... where was she hiding? Alien Queens are massive so it would have had to be a place on the ship big enough to conceal her presence, right?
@@SniffHeinkel Yeah I never understood that part either. I even paused at the scene where the landing gear was lifting upwards and I saw no sign of the queen...well anywhere. It's like she disappeared from that scene very briefly.
the thing is NOTHING just happens in a movie when its not showed or mentioned
but of course theres always room for fan theories
If you watch Alien: Resurrection, the xenomorphs do use this trick to get out of their cage (by killing one of their own)
I always felt that they were impressed by Ripley operating the mech suit because they had assumed she was just a civilian they were gonna have to babysit, not someone who would actually be useful and pull their own weight.
Operating the mech suit is her full-time job, so they were probably blown away watching a certified expert do it instead of the clumsy way they are used to seeing it done in the fleet.
@@CountArtha Nah, it was just their reaction that she was trying to fit in with the grunts... she didn't sit with them during lunch, she sat with Gorman and Burke, so they assumed she was a stuck up civilian, but now she's showing a few practical skills and bonding with the Sgt and Cpl, so that's the dynamic going on there.
Yeah, I always got that, too. Apone asked, "I don't know, is there anything you can do?" as if he thought the answer was, "Sure, I can get coffee and file stuff and maybe bake you some muffins!" Then he got pwned by a civvie who actually knows her ass from a hole in the ground and works for a livin'.
DeepSeaValkyrie *Cough* Sexism *Cough*
I don't know how to operate a forklift...I've seen some TH-cam videos on how to accidentally destroy a warehouse inventory with one though. :-p Also, not everyone in the military gets forklift training and/or certification.
The Alien appearing behind Newt is such an amazing shot, deserved a sin knocked off.
as did, "you ever been confused for a man? No, have you?
The husk?
In no way does the stunt man in that alien suit compare to Bolaji Badejo from the first film. His physique was truly unique as his arms and legs were slightly longer than usual and he stood 6'10. The alien that emerges behind Plot Point Girl looks like a cosplayer.
RIP Bolaji Badejo. Glad you never had to reprise your role in these crappy sequels.
speaking as a soldier, combat seating is indeed a thing :) when you just move from A to B you just pick a spot in the APC, but when you are tactically moving, you sit so that when you disembark, you come out of the vehicle in the right formation

It would have worked a whole lot better if he hadn't been holding the cigar. The index finger interfered with a great visual.
Al Matthews (Apone) was a Marine sergeant in Vietnam so he was well acquainted with the gesture and military culture. I learned the gesture when I went into the military in the mid-80s.

Bill Paxton had the best lines in film history.

Even Terminator: Dark Fate makes more sense than any of the Alien shit.
But as a jump scare movie, it's passable IMO.

10 sins off
Yeah and it's also notable that Newt,as a pre-teen girl with no training and weapons,stayed alive for months(she's a young child so she's small and thin thus she can hide much more effectively than an adult could-I remember all of the tight spaces I could fit into and squeeze through when I was a little kid).

Pretty sure Hudson asking that, he's being sarcy, only really because he's pissed and has a breakdown until his last stand.
Agreed. It got a huge laugh in the theater where I watched it... 36 years ago. Wow.
My parents actually explained the reason why Ripley started setting fire to the eggs around 12:50.
There was an unspoken deal between Ripley and the Xenomorph Queen. Ripley showed the queen that her flamethrower worked, and if she wasn't allowed to take Newt and leave safely, she would torch the eggs. The queen, understanding this, allowed Ripley to take Newt, but, being the evil xenomorph that she is, the queen tried to sneakily hatch one of the eggs prematuraley to get Ripley and Newt. In responce, Ripley spoke in the launguage of flamethrowers "that wasn't the deal" and torched the open egg and closed eggs.
That's how I saw it too. If you don't kill my baby, then I won't kill your babies. THAT was why Ripley gave the queen that nasty "how dare you" look hen the egg hatched. The Alien queen had broken the deal.
Sorry, but that would make too much sense and Cinemasins wouldn't be able to make his point.
I've altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it any further.
or the fokin eggs just opened randomly at that time x)
thats how it was meant but come on, the queen activating one of her eggs? I always thought the eggs would react to body temperature or something (the only explanation I came up with)
I say the queen held the other xenomorphs back but the egg hatching was just random so the deal was broken
🇺🇸When Sgt Apone says “Look into my eye”, it’s a way of flipping someone off by using the middle finger while pointing at ones eye.

What I can't understand is, this movie is so simple yet so effective, you'd expect a hundred films like this to happen afterwards. Yet here we are.
Alien 1 + 2 had good, believable ensemble casts and a claustrophobic setting. Alien 3 kinda had it, personally I don't think it's a terrible film, but you know, issues. All the rest after that had neither.
Efe Aybi?
I love this movie....but I have to say only in movies they would redeploy her with that much PTSD.....
Starship Troopers
@@SONYLEGEND You know that's right
Them firing weapons in the first encounter with the Aliens is why the whole facility explodes in the end. Burke didn't say if they fire their weapons this place will immediately explode the instant a bullet hits. It is a nuclear reactor, it takes a few hours to melt down. There is even a scene where Bishop points out the emergency venting and says that they have 4 hours from that point to get off the planet.
And yes, Burke found some unconscious face huggers, the live ones in the jars. They even show the empty jars they were in. Jeremy really slipping on this one.
The weapons fire didn't cause the emergency venting. It was the dropship crashing into the processor that caused it.
Yeah, huge mistakes -_-
xbeaker wrong, the UD-4L Cheyenne dropship (the Bug Stomper) flown by Ferro and Spunkmeyer that were both killed in-flight by a xenomorph, crashed into the APC and atmosphere processer and caused the subsequent meltdown of the reactor
The drop ship caused the explosion, not them shooting weapons.
GankbotShuk I mean too be fair it's easy to see why he thought that they did make a point to say that would happen if they fired live rounds. in fact the ship crashing might have only solidified and already inevitable meltdown.
Bruh, hitting things to make them work wasn't cliche in the 90's, it was how you made electronics work.

Hey they established hypersleep prevents aging. It would also keep them in peak physical condition for combat rather then spending two weeks or more confined to a space ship. It greatly reduces the need for food and clean water. Even for the short time they traveled in this movie hypersleep seems very reasonable.
Take those sins away.
She shouldn’t have aged at all so still a sin
dianna k Oh I am sorry. Continuity doesn’t care lmao.
Faceplam... these complaint comments do they not know that all movies have sins?
It also saves on air and having to keep the ship pressurized.
Help is 17 days away, that doesn't mean the base they launched from is 17 days away. It could have been several months away.
There's a persistent theory that hyperdrive in the Alien universe has a time-distortion effect. So a 17-day trip causes months to pass inside the ship, thus the need for hypersleep.

That scene of Ripley burning the Alien queens eggs is probably one of the most iconic moments in cinema history. That's gotta be worth at least -50 sins.
True, but the question is, if she _hadn't_ wasted her time burning the eggs, then would the queen have followed? I would say not. So all she did was (essentially) kill Bishop and nearly herself and Newt.... Too much Cinesins
Ripley's decision to burn the eggs is a genuine sin because Ripley is supposed to be the character that provides wise counsel. However, in this case her actions make no sense even on a surface level - ie even an idiot would have realised there is no point at all taking any diversion to destroy things in a facility that is going to be destroyed in 10 minutes anyway.

The guy who was constantly complaining and not helping anyone do anything? Yeah I was watching for the Xenomorphs but okay.
Every time I watch it I hope this time he will make it.... breaks my heart to see him go. True warriors don’t go down with out a fight.
The fact that this movie is completely re-watchable a full 30 years after its release should absolve it of all of its sins.

Probably a top 10 movie ever made! Absolutely stunning even 30+ years (and countless re-watches) later!
I've seen this film more times than I can count. Easily 50 times, probably closer to 100, and I can almost quote it word for word. And yet, every time I watch it, it still creates the same emotions. It's still scary, tense, edge of your seat, brilliant, atmospheric, amazing, funny every time.
For me, it’s the effects. You can’t beat practical. That shit still holds up today.
Yeah, they don't make movies like this anymore. Consider it in context of one of the more popular tv series at the moment, the Last of Us.
In the scene where they meet Newt, Ripley would be shoving her tongue down the child's throat within ten minutes.
Hudson and Drake would be naked in the escape pods, schlobbing each other.
They'd have bashed president Trump at least 800 times, since he'd been dead by, oh, about 700 years by then.
The one remaining Christian in the UNIVERSE who would be wearing a crucifix would be ENDLESSLY ridiculed as being closed minded, stupid and hateful.
There would be a twenty minute debate between the lesbean crewmembers and the tranny lieutenant about using ANY GUNS, with the consensus being they should call in social workers to establish communications with the aliens.
AnD NOT ONE OF 'em WOULD BE WHITE.

10:20
The movie explains that Burke used the two facehuggers in the freezing containers Bishop told Ripley about earlier at 9:50 in your video. Burke unscrewed the lids just enough for the facehuggers to escape, slid them into the room and locked the door. The facehuggers were already frozen in stasis by Bishop and took a while to wake up. It shows a shot of the specimen freezing containers knocked over near the door. So that's obviously not a sin, given the movie actually explains it if you're paying attention. And basically it's exactly what you said.... He used the unconscious ones Bishop had frozen on his orders.
You can't expect cinema sins to go around paying attention to the movies it is sinning...
@@neilholmes8200 He had one job!
Yes, this sin confused me as well. This is explained pretty blatantly and its obvious what had happened, but I have seen the movie dozens of times so I guess I can understand them missing it.
You all didnt notice how he ridiculed the si
n where they used the explosive shells which in turned TRIGGERED the nuclear reaction which was why they had to remote dial another ship down. Also, the reason why they didn't leave a crewman behind was because they were able to remote dial the Sulaco from the APC, but didn't account for the APC getting destroyed, Their secondary option using the colony transmitter from the command center, which they didnt expect the direct line from being damaged by the explosions/alien gunfights from the civilians. Also, Hudson did look for the colonists first thing from their PDT's, but he had to screen the entire colony and finally found them under the thermal regulators under the nuclear reactor. Boss went to school and didnt pay attention.

Always loved how well this film holds up. Practical effects always win
I would like at least 3 sins revoked from this master work:
1. Burk used the aliens from the lab. You can see the Jars in the scene. He didn't just find them.
2. They are not laughing at Ripley because she can operate the mech loader. They are laughing at the innuendo of "Where do you want it".
3. Newt would be good at cinema sins - surely that is a sin off?
This video was poorly made. It's like they assigned one person of a team of 12 10 minutes each to comment on.
I think most cinemasins videos are made as a joke so i don't really mind the retarded sins that are dished out
4. They did damage the reactor by shooting the aliens in the nest. That is why the whole place exploded at the end.
5. The last colonists with the chestburster could have been hiding like Newt but got caught just prior to the Marines landing.
#2 they were mostly laughing at themselves for underestimating her and instead of shying away, she stuck their faces in it...they respected her for that!
@@MichaelGonzalez-hd7kk wrong. damage was done when the alien killed Ferro and the dropship crashed.
This is one of the very few sequels that completely and totally changed the tone from the original and ended up being just as good, possibly better than the original. The first one is a top notch horror classic with some of the scariest imagery ever and the sequel is a top notch action movie with some spooky moments.
Yep I agree but they should have stopped after Aliens before they undid all the good they did with the first two with the sequels.
Just like The Terminator and T2.
Yes exactly.
ZergrushEddie I agree, it was a badass sequel. I remember seeing it when it came out in theaters back in 1986. When Ripley appeared in the robot loader and said "Get away from her you bitch!", the audience actually cheered. Wow has it been 30 years? I'm old.
Aliens is still incredibly scary!
It's not JUST an Action Movie!
TBH I'd say it's MORE Scary than the original because it shows more what the Xenomorphs can do and to humans who actually know how to fight back rather than average joe's in a mining vessel!
My favorite film of all time. There's "NOTHING" wrong with this utter masterpiece. Cinematic gold. I will go as far as saying how dare you slate this movie.
Totally. I f'ckin' love this movie. Also, when I was a young teenager, I had the biggest crush on Vasquez!
I knew a comment like this would be embedded here. The reason why EVERY movie contains sins is because movies aren't based on reality, so reality can be circumvented in order to further the plot. That doesn't take away from the movie's brilliance, however.
@@Marchant2yup agreed, and I still love watching cinemasins when I can't be bothered with the movie
A good film but far from perfect.
No sin off for that moment when one of the crew move past Ripley, putting a hand on her shoulder, and she jumps? I loved that little detail! It showed how totally on edge the crew (or at least Ripley) were and was a lovely little bit of acting
Too bad its been put in every horror movie ever made.
Aliens is the only horror movie I've ever been convinced to watch as of now, so I cannot verify your statement.
@2:35: Are you serious? Did you not realize the sarge was subtly flipping him the bird? That's a classic.
It's like holding up your three middle fingers tightly in a row, then asking the person to read between the lines.
I Literally never noticed that...I feel stupid, yet thankful
I thought it was him saying "Look into my eye. You see anybody in there who cares?" It's something my teacher used to say to me. As a joke of course.

The only thing making it not a perfect bird was the index finger keeping the cigar in place.
"look into my eye"
Uses his middle finger.
Idk how you could miss that
Maybe someone should make videos sinning cinema sins for mistakes and being oblivious to the obvious
@@Hellghast1109 I did as a child. I am no longer a child.
@@bitterdbyu5291 If done in a funny way, otherwise it just comes off as just really bitter, petty, and humorless. Probably about time cinemasins did another one about themselves, or maybe another comedy channel did one about them.
The cigar spoils the effect slightly.
This is one of the run-downs where I'm not even all that convinced by all the so-called "sins", lol
Its just such a good movie. The tone and atmosphere in the first act is so spot on.
You went on about 'how did Burke manage to get the facehuggers in the medical lab to attack Ripley and Newt' but it's obvious!! They discovered there were two live ones in the medical lab when they first arrived and, while Ripley and Newt were asleep, Burke simply released them from their tanks, took Ripley's gun, ran out the room and locked them in. The fact that Ripley saw the empty tank on the floor when she woke up is what made her realise the facehuggers were loose. I don't know how you missed that.
But the question is how Burke got both facehuggers into the room and out of the tanks without getting a face full of alien wingwong. As soon as you open one you're gonna have a bad day. Now, it's possible that he set one tank in the room still partially sealed and then chucked the second one at it with the seal broken. However, the fact that he pulled that bullshit off without once again getting a face full of alien wingwong AND successfully releasing both facehuggers is still worthy of a sin.
I will say that even if those facehugger were alive, they were weak. They were maintain partially colder environment than an original egg. So, they could be studied...until one of them got the scientist or doctor and an infestation started...or whatever. The idea is that the facehuggers were put in the room in their canister, unlock or unsealed and left them until they were strong enough to escape and start hunting... (my guess...)
I’m so glad to see all the comments saying Aliens is the best movie ever - because it really is. First time I watched it (on VHS as I wasn’t old enough when it was on at the cinema) I had to get on my feet and run on the spot while watching that 15 minute countdown as Ripley goes to rescue Newt.
I remember renting it from the video store repeatedly when I was in my teens.
The action, the plot and.....that dialogue. It’s fantastic.
david mulligan I loved 1 & 2, But 3 trounced all over Aliens by doing the “oh by the way Newt and Hicks died” which nullified Ripley’s heroic actions in the second half of Aliens. Couldn’t forgive it for that!
acxez knightNite and here we are in 2020 and Disney just did the samething with Star Wars. I’m convinced Hollywood writers, producers, and studios don’t know how to complete a story. The only series of films I can think of that ended correctly was back to the future.
I wouldn't put it at number 1 but it's definitely in the top 3 sequels ever made.
There's clearly no such thing as "the best movie ever" because its a matter of perspective. It boggles my fucking mind that people don't understand that. You might as well be sitting around gushing about which is the "best" colour.
Ste ik you must be a lot of fun at parties.
The woman they came across in the hive was likely another survivor who's luck ran out shortly before the marines arrived
To answer the question, as seen in alien river of pain, at the end it clarified newt had survived for months on her own, due to her size and knowledge of the ventilation system thanks to the game she played with her brother and friends known as monster maze, which I really loved as you definitely see kids doing this out of boredom
I love the "Bitch!" quote as much as anyone...
But I am constantly dismayed at how underappreciated the "gearing up" sequence is...
Here's Ripley, confronting her greatest living Hell of being trapped with hundreds of the same monsters who killed all her crew members and damn near killed her. She's seen dozens more be killed by same monsters since arriving on the planet. Genuinely scared for her life, trying to evacuate to safety, she suddenly loses her newly found surrogate daughter to the horde of monsters... and what does she do?
She duct-tapes a goddamn flamethrower and an assault rifle together and _marches straight down there to get her back!_
That is _way_ more badass to me than even the final confrontation...
Agreed. Instead of looking at it as magically becoming proficient with weapons, I look at it as mix of determination and desperation.
To be honest you don't need to be a gun expert to shoot someone. I mean, go through ten minutes of gun training and you'll immediately know how to use one. Doesn't mean you will be accurate, but you still will know how to use it.
*Looks at Forgotten Camel with narrowed eyes*
Being accurate, knowing how to load and shoot under pressure, very, very underrated in movies lol. Then again, most idiots thinks its realistic when the main character can blast away soldiers whether they have weapon/military training or not.
I'm assuming you've never used a gun before... I mean seriously. When I shot a shotgun for the first time It wasn't even that hard to reload or even aim with the darn thing. some guy threw like 5 skeets and i hit 3, for the first time! Ever since I've been hooked on guns and the only trouble you'll have with it is cleaning it well enough so that the gun does not malfunction. What about a regular gun with a mag? Again, not that hard to reload with a magazine. It's not rocket science like you claim it to be. You do not need military training to use one. One more thing, she is not fighting soldiers. If she were, things should have gone way differently.
Ok kid... ok...
Avatar gets 4 minutes. This masterpiece gets 16 minutes. We need to have a healthy discussion here, Mr. Sins.
WarlordRising Im with ya on this one...
WarlordRising Johnny Sins?
that this is a great movie
That was one of their early videos, when they didn't sin as much. If they re-did Avatar now, it would be longer.
Its not a reflection on quality of the movie. Cinemasins has gotten a lot better at counting sins over the years!
These videos mostly come out in the morning. Mostly.
in some interview the girl actor said that she heard about that line for a looong time :/
R.I.P. LEE
What I still can't understand after all these years, why was The Company still so upset about losing the ship after 57 years as seen in the meeting with Ripley? Most of them ( or none of them ) would have been born when the ship exploded. Yet they act like it happened last week, lol. You think they would have written it off ages ago.
This was the most intense movie I ever saw in my life in a movie theater back in 1986. People who did not have no idea how edge of your seat this movie was. And we were in a theater that had an immense sound system and a giant movie screen, and I remember when the transport ship is screaming through the alien planet atmosphere, you know the part where Hudson says "We're on an express elevator to hell, going down! " and the transport ship drops? Holy crap it was LOUD as hell, the whole theater shook, then the pilot says "We're in the pipe, five by five" and the camera shot moves to the outside it got LOUDER, I couldn't believe it, and from there where they land and get out and move it, it was so intense like you can't believe. And when they start the tracker and the little girl Newt ran in front of it and you hear that scream?, practically everyone in the audience shit themselves lol lol I must have watched this movie countless times since
You didn't go to the cinema much huh?
Yes, saw it in '86, as well, and they had new surround sound systems in the theaters in those days that were SUPER LOUD and crystal clear and this movie was a completely different experience in that theater. Extremely intense viewing under those conditions - I was actually tired after the movie from the stress of viewing it. Everyone jumped at least a few times. Great movie.
I wasn't born when this movie was made but I've probably seen it 50 times now
@@nihilistlivesmatter - Are you serious? Back then I went every week. I'm talking about these pathetic set ups they have today in movie theaters, they cant even compare. If the theaters today played their sound systems as loud as they did back in 1986 they would be fined or closed down. Did you also know that rock bands today are also restricted from playing past a certain volume. Thank fucking democrats
Totally. When I was in college in 1989 my roommate used to play 1 of 2 movies constantly... HIGHLANDER, and ALIENS. I could recite that dialogue to this day...
Such an awesome movie.. Too bad about Alien 3,4, and whatever debacle that followed.
Still One of the best movies ever made.
No. No. Just no.
@@arcticwolf6402 Yes, Yes, just Yes.
@@arcticwolf6402
Go watch your cartoon wolfy
Well and Ripley is one of the best bad-ass women in movies ever. I sort of miss when movie characters had character, Ripley is far from perfect but at least she developed over the cause of her franchise(I'm not counting the clone from the 4th? movie).
@@arcticwolf6402 On so many levels more than the shit you probably watch.
Aliens is possibly my favorite movie. I'm so glad that they stopped the franchise there and didn't make any other alien movies that would totally screw up the entire franchise and pollute the amazing legacy of the first two standout films.
Same for *TERMINATOR, STAR TREK,* and *DOCTOR WHO.*
😊😊😊
Aliens is amazing. That said, Alien3 is pretty damn cool too. Different vibe, but I love its atmosphere.
So true! I cannot imagine would a 3rd Alien movie would be like...but there was no need to ever make one as this was perfection achieved.
Same as Terminator. T2 was flawless...additional films would just dilute perfection.
And don't get me started on Star Wars. Can you imagine what it would be like if they made sequels?
Those would actually be pretty good because they would be smart enough to plot the whole story out ahead of time, right?
And it would be awesome to see Luke, Han, & Leia together again. I mean...what's the point of doing it without them!?
Star Wars is a trilogy. Alien & Aliens, period. Exorcist and Exorcist III, period. (I do like Alien 3, but it should have been a one-off in its own universe.)
@@kell_checks_in I think we can allow the SW prequels. A little editing would help but they fit.

Kudos on the mental health notice, at the end of the video.
I feel like a lot of these ‘sins’ could be explained away. This is one of the greatest movies ever :)
And one of the rare cases of a sequel being better than the original.

Chris Mal bru
I was just saying this to my girlfriend,we may actually watch today AFTER watching Beautiful Creatures,since we read almost 200 pgs,of 500+ pages
Actually the fact that space is REALLY BIG, it a totally legit reason she drifted through the core systems.
Yeah, he sins the same scenario twice back to back for contradictory reasons, lol.
I thought that line was going to lead into a "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" riff.....
If space is so big that Ripley floated through the core systems then its extra convenient that they picked her up anywhere else. Thats like drifting through all the major shipping lanes and then being found floating off Antarctica, except the ocean is a trillion times bigger
@@steik6414 this shit actually happens a lot on earth oceans, where ship get lost and is found years later on opposite side of the world.
Or, the company found her, knowing what happened to her, decided to let her sleep, colonized the planet while searching for the alien and only woke her up when they needed her for this mission. sounds more plausible to me.
Fun Fact: During the siege on the colony station there was an additional scene that was cut that showed the marines preparing defenses, including deploying 4 motion-sensor turrets. They then watched the ammo counters tick down. It added a lot more tension to the scene and the movie would have been much better with it.
The scene is in the Special Edition.
Sentry Guns is the best tension scene.
you do realize when apone says "look into my eye" to hudson he's giving him the finger right?
It's also meant to say, "do you see any tears for you?"
I always assumed "look into my eye" was just a quirky way of flipping of the bird, because he used his middle finger to point.
If you're young enough and fit enough, do a stint in the military. You'll learn what it means.
Okay... I'm neither. Care to explain if it's something other than what Xophe said?
"Everything Wrong With Aliens"?
"Remember, short, controlled bursts."
I like how that portrays Hicks as the solid, sensible one, right before everybody else just freaks out. You can see why Hicks looks so burned-out, dealing with these idiots.
"look into my eye" Sarge is flipping off Hudson but while holding his cigar hides that 😂😂
When Ripley arrives at the loader, that's the pawn arriving at the 8th square and becoming a Queen, then taking the other Queen. And it is as of this move that we have an entirely new game.
wow! that was clever!
Well done. [polite clapping]
I'm amazed that anyone watches both Agadmator and Aliens videos.
Just a pedantic point, regardless of how short the time frame, using hypersleep or suspended animation will always reduce the supplies needed (ie food, water, etc), and thus makes sense even for a few days.
You wan actually do this in real life, just lay in bed for like 3 days straight and read books and take frequent naps.
So they can fit a large APC on its own ramp in its own drop ship, from an orbital ship stocked with mech loaders in unnecessarily large loading bays, yet they worry about 17 days supply of food and water for that many people, enough to resort to hyper sleep?
"Queen takes Bishop"
The only part of this that made me laugh out loud.
Well Done!
Plot twist: Ripley didn't "drift" for 57 years. She got picked up after 6 weeks and kept in hypersleep in a movie prequel that will never get made.
I’m honestly surprised they didn’t do that yet. Merchandising creates no endings to story apparently. The game Alien Isolation is something in between Alien and the time of Aliens.
Audible made a "radio-drama" type production where Ripley ends up on another adventure long before the 57-year mark. "Alien: Out of the Shadows" it was called. Did a good job -- even got all the sound effects right and found a woman who sounds exactly like Sigorney Weaver.
@@stevenscott2136 Nice! I didn't know about that! 😎
1. The ship does a hyper jump and it takes 17 days to reach LV426 2. Its not a ship its a building 3. The colony has had people for over 20 years Newt was born there
This movie is still one of the best movies ever made just watched it yesterday and it is still good.
Everything wrong with aliens: 0:01 second long video with a picture of the word Nothing

"space is like, really, REALLY big". I am so happy this channel exists. Seriously, it's a big part of the positive part of my life.

That may be so. But still +1 sin to cinema sind for stealing from hitchhikers guide yet again.
Yes, combat sitting is a thing as you have to deploy the troops quickly and in a particular order.
^This
CinemaSins didn't do his homework.
The only sin of this movie is the one you'll commit if you never watched it
- What gave these guys any indication that the air here is breathable?
After the door is open a probe scans the area.
- Ripley trusts someone from Weyland Corp. when he says they're not going to bring the alien back.
Quite the contrary, she goes bc she doesn't trust the company.
- Why bring her along?
Maybe bc she's the only non-dead person that ever saw an alien. Experience, and a potential loose end.
- Androids shouldn't need hypersleep, right?
Androids are designed in such a way to make humans feel comfortable around them. That's why they simulate personality and are built to look like us. Same reason why he sits with the rest of the crew for breakfast.
- 'Look into my eye'.
Believe it or not that's an expression used in my native language. It means exactly what the scene suggests (in this case, 'don't mess with me').
- Bishop misses.
It's a machine but that doesn't mean it's 100% perfect. It's made by humans after all.
- Does it matter what Bishop prefers?
They're programmed to interact with humans. Simulating personality and some character facilitates that. It's not redundant from the human's psychological PoV.
- Ash was ordered to do what he did, it wasn't a glitch.
Isn't that the point? What do you want Burke to say? 'Yes, we program murderous androids just in case somebody needs to die'.
- Why did Burke go?
Maybe bc the company knows he's the kind of guy that wouldn't hesitate to bring the alien back at all costs. Burke is Ash 2.0 (much worse bc he has free will). In other words, bc he's a greedy bastard.
- 'Every other asshole that's been attacked by these aliens is super fucking dead'.
Apone and Dietrich are alive.
- Why Ripley destroys the eggs?
It's an emotional response.
- Why the queen waits until the dropship gets to the Sulaco?
Forcing an entrance inside the dropship from the outside and in-flight might be impossible.
- Why spend all this time cutting Bishop in half?
It didn't take long. The aliens are extremely hostile. Bishop is in the humans team.
I always wondered how the company colonized Lv-426 but never found the alien ship. Newt's family (prospectors) finds it, traveling by ground vehicle, must not be THAT far. Besides, a planet surface scan should have detected such an anomaly. Also, why the alien beacon stopped transmitting? I've read some explanations but still not convinced. That's 'Aliens' sin, IMO.
The game Alien Isolation, which is canon and explores what happens to Amanda Ripley (Ellen Ripley's daughter) 15 years after the Nostromo disappears, answers your beacon question. The crew of the ship Anisidora discovers the alien ship and deactivates the beacon to stop anyone else from discovering it and 'stealing their salvage'.
The book River of Pain covers the lead up to Aliens from the colonists POV, and is quite good.
Newt's parents only went venturing for the ship after Burke hears Ripley's account and sent a message to the colonists to check it out.
The “Look into my eye” line is him flipping him off
@@kindracriado5984 Exactly. It just didn't look right cause he's holding the cigar too. Without the cigar, only his middle finger is extended
#6 Wasn't Ripley's ship putting out a distress-signal?
Those go like, FOREVER in every direction.
So it's not like they just ran into her.
Yeah. That's why the dialogue mentions something like 'you're lucky we picked you up"; the salvage team that finds Ripley is referring to 'picking up' her distress signal, rather than physically stumbling on her by chance.
@@jasonarthurs3885 in actuality her beacon failed, so she was indeed stumbled on by chance, though that was the salvagers did; look for stuff. It's also why they were disappointed when they found her alive. It meant they weren't able to profit from a (nearly) functional free shuttlecraft they found just floating around in space.
This movie is STILL scarier than most horror movies today, even thirty years later!
No , aliens is not scary , the first one is
A lot of people downplay alien 3 too yet no one knows the history of its production
... This movie was supposed to be scary?
Why would it's production history be relevant? It's a film. You judge it by what appears on the screen, not in some fanzine articles or DVD extras.
I watched the movie for the first time when I was 10 or so and I never found it to be scary, ever.
The forklift scene is the most accurate military moment in this movie. I was in the army (15R) for 7 years, I drove a forklift in a warehouse before joining the Army. When a forklift operator was needed, I already had my OSHA cert. Chain of command was happy, they didn't have to send anyone to training, already had experience/confidence, and was able to operate similar equipment with just a little bit of familiarization. Plus it seemed like most people are afraid or nervous about operating heavy equipment. I ran the 25 ton overhead crane, the 10k forklifts, scamps, and LCRTFs.
The army would have sent me to training no matter how many civilian certs. The army was so bureaucratic. Lol
Hmmm at about 8:00 you sin them for shooting and not setting off the nuclear explosion. But that is what happened. That's why the facility goes nuclear later. They broke the cooling system, and the venting they show later is the emergency system trying to slow the explosion. I don't think that sin was fair.
12:15 also has an unfair sin, Not everyone died that was taken from the marine fight in the hive. They annouce that Sarge and Dietrich aren't dead, just decide it's not feasible to save them. So she is fine for the assumption that Newt is alive.
@@kylelantan9220 Yup and the alien bursting from the chest may have been triggered simply by the presence of out protagonists. It sensed them so it knew it was time to get out of the body, before that it might as well enjoy the host for as long as it can
When the drop ship crashed & exploded in the facility, that started the chain reaction nuclear explosion.
When they get back to operations & Bishop points out the emergency venting he states the crash caused too much damage & it cannot be shut down.
Y'all stupid AF.just chill fellas.
Later in the film Bishop explains that the crash caused the overload.
You'd honestly be shocked at how many times in the military we actually hit things to make them work. That isn't a sin, it's just reality.
There's literally a field phone that we used for decades in artillery that actually has a procedure for troubleshooting in the manual called the "drop test". You hold the thing at waist level and literally just drop it onto a hard surface. It fixes it 99 percent of the time.
Probably knocking a dry solder joint back into place (no military experience, but a bunch of work with electronics).
Have a great day.
@347Jimmy lol in this case, you'd know more than me. I just know it says "drop it" and I've watched my Marines whip the thing into the side of a concrete bunker and it starts working again.
I assume it's magic.
Nothing's wrong with Aliens.
End.
Im giving a sin though because, it has none.
Over-expositional. Big sin. Particularly since it was all ignored for the subsequent movies anyway.

This video makes me want to watch Aliens again, what a movie! 12:48 It's left open to interpretation why Ripley attacks the nest. I think it's either an effort to distract the Aliens and facilitate her escape, or the movie trying to draw parallels between Ripley and the Alien queen, with Ripley wanting revenge after the Aliens endangered Newt. Or maybe it was simply a cool-looking and cathartic way to get the Alien queen up for the big showdown!
"Look in to my eye" is a military version of 'you think I care?'. He's asking Hudson if he see's the 'give a shit' in his eye.
He's also giving Hudson the finger when he says it.
He's giving him the middle finger. And cinema sins asks what the fuck it means??
Eldon Stracke II nah he’s flipping him off 🙄🤦🏽♂️.
My dad used to do this when I was growing up. “You see anyone who gives a shit?”
Military version of "you think I care?"... hahaha thanks for the laugh. Terrible guess. It's the finger. I do this to my kids all the time. Jesus, some people!
Fuck....I'm ashamed to admit that I laughed really hard at the 'queen takes bishop' joke.

I get that it's chess reference but what's the joke? Is it a sign of a bad player when you lose your bishop to a queen or.... what?
10:20; Did you not watch the movie? The facehuggers were still in the canisters when Burke dropped them into the room. He opened the lids just far enough for the creatures to get out.
I highly doubt that the writer actually views any of the movies. I'm betting they get most of their information from very short clips picked out for them and trailers.
+Taun-Chi Gaming Then you have just lost whatever fictional money you bet, because they have stated before, in their videos, that they watch the movies multiple times before making a sins video.
Also on their podcast they talk about seeing aliens many times
In that situation that may or may not have happened. For the movie's sake they only got out after being dropped in the room.
Isn't this is a one man operation?
The biggest SIN in this film is making us believe that on a giant ship like the SALACO not 1, not 1 fucking human or pilot was left on board to watch the ship while everyone…. All 15 people, take off to the plant they know is infested.
One of my favourite movies of all time..... though I admit it always bothered me that Gorman didn't take a few seconds to explain why they couldn't fire live rounds.
Gorman never had his shit together. The panic got ahold of him. He was way too green to lead this op.
"I'm an officer! I don't explain myself to mere enlisted grunts!" Sadly, often true, according to my military friends.
@@stevenscott2136 Can confirm
Okay, Jeremy, I know you're smarter than this... Burke didn't "toss a couple of face huggers into the room," they were the still-living specimens that were in the big glass jars the colonists had. They even show the spilled glass jars in the room when Ripley first wakes up.
The "look into my eye" from the Sargent was more of "I'm giving you the bird" since he used his middle finger when he did that
Yeah, I caught that as well. Take 1 sin off for "false positive"? Although I didn't catch that when I saw this the first time back in the theatre.
Yes it means fuck you🖕🏾
haha how could they miss the middle finger
One thing our drill Sgts used to say, Look into me eye, see any concern there? None in the other one either.
That's what I've always thought...
5 years too late, but the commanding officer's "look into my eye" to Hudson is just a version of the holding up three fingers and saying "read between the lines"--he's flipping him off
"Look into my eye" he was gesturing to his eye with hs MIDDLE FINGER!!!!!
Cripes, I never noticed that it was the middle finger. I always took it to mean: "do you see any tears? No? Then shut up and fall in."
shit I just commented almost the same thing. Dammit.
You sinned that awesome "look into my eye" line? R U NUUUUTS????
Tibor Magyar
To be fair, I have no clue what he meant by that either.
It's the middle finger....
+Satellite Star, true, but I'd still sin the decision to have a nap in the _only_ room in their compound that has live facehuggers in it. The two characters who sleep there, Ripley and Newt are the only two alive there who have even seen facehuggers in action. No way they'd choose that room to sleep in, but the writers couldn't imagine another way to show Burke as an evil a-hole.
In Marine terms, it translates into look into my eye, "Do I look like I give a shit"?
True it’s the middle finger and the cigar also makes it two fingers
Friend who I saw this with back when it first came out still, to this day, whenever he is on his way to come visit, will text me "IN THE PIPE FIVE BY FIVE..."
That’s quality friend bants
Same line was in the original Starcraft. The dropship pilots say it when you give them orders.
You should have cut 5 sins for “why don’t you put her in charge”?! Line? One of the best in all of movie history
