Yes it was an experience then, dark huge theater with the film shown in 70 mm Dolby on a collosal screen about 3 or 4 stories high with a packed house of moviegoers. I was 14 then and wound up seeing it about 6 times within a few months to a year. It was terrifying, unique and creepy to the enth degree, a horror film more than a sci-fi film. A true cinema classic. Ridley Scott is brilliant and hires the best teams around him. And the acting all around was just top tier. From Ash to Parker to Dallas to Ripley and etc., it was just real in every sense. This film is a cinema classic.

I won’t complain that Prey’s success has led to more people checking out the original Predator. I’m even happier if it means more people check out Alien (and hopefully Aliens too) as well 🙂

The Xenomorphs are iconic, but they're just giant bugs with acid blood. The most horrifying alien entity is the Thing. Because it doesn't need to chase you down, stalk you in the dark, or any of that other monster tropey stuff. All it has to do is imitate a cute fluffy kitten or puppy and brush up against you. Or just some random person and bump into you in a store, on the sidewalk, etc. Or some little kid coughing or sneezing near you. One single cell is all it needs to take over your body.

When I watch Millennial or Z reactions I feel the same.

This is my all time favorite horror movie. There are very few classic movie reactions I look forward to as much as Alien. Especially from people who have absolutely no idea what the Xenomorph’s are or what they can do. I saw it when I was WAY too young at age 11. The Xenomorph was literally the embodiment of my nightmares throughout my childhood. Fun/Scary Fact: The Xenomorph is actually based on a real life insect, the Tarantula Hawk which is a wasp from the southwest United States. It reproduces by hunting tarantulas, paralyzing them with it’s stinger, dragging them into the spiders hollow, laying an egg on the spiders belly, then the egg hatches and the larvae devours the spider from the inside out.

There are many forms of that wasp that exists. Mostly in hot climates.

Their looks of shock when the alien popped out of him were genuine. The cast wasn't told how bloody the effect would be.

Alien...a master class in building tension and mystery. It's the concept of don't go in the house pushed to the limit mixed with the darkest side of sci-fi. Except for the computer aspect of the movie, it aged like fine wine, the model used and painted glasses in the cave of the ship giving a more realistic feel to everything on screen. H.R Giger is a mad genius with his creation of the Alien monster, a model of touching the inner human fear in his design ! It's a good candidate for top 5 best horror movie/sci-fi of all time !

Kacee: "I used to want to be an astronaut, and then I developed ANXIETY!" xD

You were talking about the beginning of sci-fi movies, actually, this movie, "Alien" took very close inspiration from a 1950s alien movie called, "It, the Terror from Beyond Space." They did not have much in the special effects department back then, but the basic plot is the same. Yes, you are not supposed to use a spoon, or anything else for that matter, to stick in a person's mouth during a seizure. When I taught CPR, the only thing you are supposed to do is place a soft object under their head, move objects away from them, and call 911, having the AED and first aid kit on hand in case they are needed. Trying to keep the victim from biting their own tongue can lead to you getting bitten or greater injury to the victim of the seizure.

And you people dare to make fun of this Alien 1979 movie??? Prometheus is a f joke in comparison to the first 2 Alien movies. In fact every alien movies after the first two is a f joke. GET SOME TASTE MAN. Stop watching Cartoon children level IQ movies.... my god. I remember pewdiepie once saying that those ( avengers etc ... ) movies are lame and he never cared for them and people went ape shit... i can't believe that there is a fan base liking those lame superhero movies. Grow up people . Watch some grown up stuff, Not CGI nonsense with steroid full pumped wannabe " actors "

There are some factors of the movie that could only be experienced when it came out. The actor of the first guy who died was a big name action star at the time, and all the other actors were recognizable names as well, except Sigourney Weaver. She was completely unknown at the time. So not only was that first guy getting killed off so early something nobody saw coming, neither was Ripley being the only survivor. On top of that, we praise her for being badass and smart right away now, because we know she’s the star now. But her actions in the beginning, trying to keep them quarantined, intentionally come across as heartless. They’re meant to get the audience against Ripley for callously leaving her crewmates to die and going by the book for her own self-preservation. Dialogue from her soon afterward reinforces this. We don’t get that sensation anymore, because even new viewers probably know who Sigourney Weaver is and know she’s the hero of Alien, or at least would have no inkling that she’s the least recognizable actor in the cast at the time the movie came out. Even right down to the scene where the xenomorph makes its last two kills, the movie is weaponizing tropes to make us not suspect that Ripley will be the sole survivor. The other woman on the crew is set up as that right up until her death scene. She in a team with the big, strong guy with a weapon, while Ripley goes back for the cat. Every victim so far has been someone who’s caught alone by the xenomorph, including one who went for the cat earlier, usually in dark places with plenty of hiding spots. Ripley is set up to die in that scene. But instead, the xenomorph abandons the pattern we’ve gotten used to, and makes its last killings of the movie in full view, against the group, not the individual, while they’re armed. It completely turns itself on its head at that point. This movie is really good.

I love this film various reason. The Riply's character is smart, quick witted and brave. Ripley is not just bimbo sex object (what Sigourney Weaver Spoofed in Galaxy Quest brilliantly) . She is top on my list of realistic heroes like with John McClane and Sarah Connor as heroes who bleed, who have traumas and are not superhuman but do incredible feats because its right thing to do or its according their principles.

6:30 the movie never reveals the date it’s set but it’s confirmed to be taking place on the year 2122, a hundred years from now.

The first alien movie was barely advertised. They had a single-page ad in Rolling Stone. It was just a xenomorph egg, and the caption was “In space, no one can hear you scream.”

9:21 - Yes. He's also Bilbo Baggins in Lord of the Rings. 11:17 - It's the same type of ship (from the Engineers) but not the exact same. 38:47 - It's not an AI that observes and controls things autonomously. It's just a fancy board computer. 45:55 - The fact that Lambert body has naked legs and that the alien was putting the tail between her feet started theories about the alien doing nasty things with her. 51:26 - Also consider that this movie was intended to be a real horror movie, Predator was never intended to be anything more than an '80s action with some horror twist but became a classic too.

The Lambert naked thing and theory of it doing something sexual was in reference to the original artist’s work of Xenomorphs being very heavily sexualized in a creepy alien manner, Ridley Scott got his inspiration from that artist in his design of the movie monster.

The concept of building the walls on the ship, to look like the alien was a stroke of genius

Watching Kacee simping SUPER hard for the Predator has been the funniest part of this journey so far. You guys are hilarious! Love your reactions! \m/

"This is why computers will never compete with humans." You got a spit-take out of me on that one. Best. Leo.

I'll fix the uncertainty for you. "Prometheus" does take place before "Alien." Yes, it's in the same cinematic universe. No, it's not a direct prequel to "Alien." No, that's not the same ship, or Space Jockey. They aren't really connected story wise in any significant way.

Alien and Aliens are both incredible works of art! So much genius details and design in both. Idk if you guys play video games, but Alien Isolation is a fantastic game to give you the feeling of being in that situation. Also, since you're on a sci-fi alien movie binge, The Thing 1982 is a must!

I feel like prometheus only happened because ridley wanted to do a sci-fi story and could only get funding if he made it about alien. as far as i'm concerned there are 2 predator movies and two alien movies and that is that. there are some good parts to some of the others (predators, avp, and even prometheus) but Those 4 are the only ones i love.

Alien came out just 2 years after Star Wars, so yeah it's perfectly fine to compare that opening scene of the underside of the Nostromo with the opening scene of Star Wars showing the underside of a Star Destroyer. The scene in Alien is pretty clearly inspired by the scene in Star Wars. Aside from that, and the fact that everything has a lived-in & used feeling rather than being squeaky clean like in almost all other sci fi movies/shows at the time, the two movies don't really have a lot in common. Also, IMO you should really watch Predator 2. There are some movies in the Alien and Predator franchises that can (and probably should) be skipped, but I don't think Predator 2 is one of them. The first 2 movies in each franchise are good and really give you a feel for what the predators and xenomorphs are all about.

Star Wars also showed there was an audience for well made, big budget science fiction movies. Prior to A New Hope, there hadn't been very many, and the most recent one that had been spectacularly successful was 2001: A Space Odyssey, which came out all the way back in 1968.

Prometheus came out in 2012. And the derelict spaceship seen here in Alien & in Prometheus are more or less identical, of the same design & made by the same alien race but it's not the exact same ship. The Alien fandom is still waiting for exact connections between the prequel alien films & the original & it seems most unlikely that we will ever get any answers.

In the past, at the time of sailing ships, used to explore the unknown world, they would bring a cat along to control the vermin. At the time, it was rats. Jones symbolizes the advancement of travel, as well as the danger, with humans staying unchanged. Also, when people died on board, they would do an "ocean burial" and throw them into the sea.

John Hurt reprised the alien chest-bursting scene for Spaceballs for Mel Brooks. Y’all need to watch that, also.

By the way - YOU MUST watch Aliens - the best military scifi movie EVER made.

Ash saying 'You have my sympathies' was sarcastic, hence the sarcastic smile.

Ripley went back to disable the self destruct because the alien was blocking the way to the escape ship (because of his fascination with Jones the cat). After attempting to disable it, the alien was no longer there (because he had stowed away on the escape ship!) so she could board the ship and be on her way. The ONE thing I would nitpick about this movie is that when the Nostromo blows up - THREE TIMES - it was just a tad overboard. But still a genuine 5 star movie! In the theater, when she blows up the Nostromo and then the credits DON'T start rolling, everyone was like, "Say what?" and we knew something was up. What that 'something' was turned out to be awesome.

Jones is the ship's cat. It used to be tradition for ships to have a cat on board since they would hunt any mice on board a ship.

Yes, Ripley was great character. She was intelligent, caring, and represented a good officer. She was right in ALL here statements about protocol to avoid EXACTLY what happened, unbeknownst to her the company was one who basically set different priorities. She was good person who cared about her crew. She wanted to get everyone home alive, and you can see Ripley was truly traumatize by not only alien but loss of her crewmates. Sigourney did amazing job. This is a good strong female character. She wasn't a flawless character, but a woman trying to right thing with everything going against her.

I still hope you guys watch Predator 2 since it does have a bit of a connection to Prey at the end. It's not as good as some of the others, but still was a fun watch and lore of the race.

I strongly believe you guys should watch Predator 2 before watching AvP. Kacee will get more backstory into the Preditors, and their is a massive Easter Egg at the end. Now that Prey is out, you can almost say, TWO Easter Eggs.

"Predator doesn't secrete..." - truer words were never spoken

Mother makes no decisions. It simply analyzes and reports. All orders come from the company. The company wants the Alien. The company, really, is the villain of the Alien franchise.

Welcome to the Alien franchise! Next up is one of the best sequels in Cinematic history, Aliens (1986)

Come on guys (especially Patreon guys) they gotta watch the Alien and Predator films in subsequent order. Like definitely the next two alien films and absolutely Predator 2. Would be a disservice to themselves and the fans of the films to not watch em leading up to the first AvP

You need to watch predator 2 aswell , its the film that created the avp universe basically because it has the alien easter egg , after it all the comics and games and films came , and its a great sequel

Watch Predator 2 and you’ll know *exactly* when the idea of an AVP crossover even became an actual idea.

Ian Holm who played the science officer did play the priest in the 5th element - AND he played Bilbo in Fellowship of the Ring.

i wouldn't skip predator 2 it introduces quite some lore and cool weapons.

Prey, Predator, now Alien... This week has been hitting on my fav genre!!!

I'm sure you saw all the comments from the first Predator reaction, but yeah, Predator 2 is definitely where the lore expands the most and what sets the stage for pretty much everything else. Don't let the Rotten Tomatoes score fool you, it's every fan's favorite film besides the original, at least up until recently. It features the coolest looking Predator IMO and it's the only other Predator that's played by the original actor (Kevin Peter Hall) and uses the suit made by the original designer, the legendary Stan Winston, so the creature is badass. You also see way more of it and it's gadgets than any other film.

Kacee hard stanning the Predator is a mood that I'm here for.

Guys INTERSTELLAR is a big must . My opinion the best movie of all time.

You should really watch Predator 2 as well. The Pred trophy room near the end shows the Alien skull in the background. That was the scene that lead to all the Alien vs Predator fan theories that caused it to actually happen years later.

Ian Holm was truly in the movie of "The Fifth Element". Though I have seen this movie since I was a kid even though it kinda freaked me out but I enjoyed it 👍🏿

Whoever designed and built the self destruct mechanism for this movie should have won an award. It just seems so real, like that's exactly how it would be if such things existed: Difficult to do so you could never accidentally do it (unlike Star Trek where it's only necessary for two crewmembers to concur to the ship's computer). I just love it, and of course the whole escape sequence is adrenaline pumping.

It isn't just two crew members concuring. It's two officers with command authority. Eg Captain & First officer or whoever is the next in line of command. It's not like ensign's bob & dave could order the ship to self destruct and have the command officers helpless to stop them.. 🤣 Lol...

@@Markus117d Still, only a few steps by command officers is all it takes, whereas on the Nostromo it is quite a bit more convoluted even though it can apparently be done by anyone with access to that area of the ship. You make a good point.

Alien and Predator are awesome classics :D Glad you guys are checking these out.

11:07 cats always ride free on ships. They kill little pests. They are very territorial animals and love their ships. Its a bigger and more exciting place than any apartment of today. I bet every old sailorship cat though it was the actual captain. Its part of history and im sure if we ever invent space travel (to a degree that mining, trade ect is possible) cats will be on board with us. Killing mice, rats and anything small that shts in the ventilaton system or something. And the cats will love it!

Love your movie reactions thanks guys

There's a great deleted scene, which I believe is in the directors cut, where the alien encounters Jones the cat towards the end, and doesn't harm him. Many think it's because the alien it was too small to be a host, , but I think it recognized a fellow remorseless killer (which cats are to small animals) and respectfully went on its way.

Ridley Scott’s design of the slime was inspired by the artwork of H.R. Giger. If you google image his name you’ll see why and how sexual the art was lol.

If they make another alien movie I wanna see one about Jones. That cat went through a lot in this movie stayed home for the sequel aliens, and because Ripley didn’t return home after the events of Alien three what happened to Jones??? Was he adopted did he starve to death??? I NEED TO KNOW 😹

Between this and Terminator, James Cameron put two female leads in films that showed how strong women can be, in a time when it wasn’t common for women to be seen as capable as men are. And it was the right call, since Sarah Connor and Ripley are two of the most badass and iconic women in film history.

This movie was directed by Ridley Scott, not James Cameron. Cameron directed the sequel, Aliens, in 1986.

Sarah Connor, Eleanor Ripley and Leia Organa are the trinity of OG bad ass female characters. Their character earned their respect. It didn’t feel like a cheap attempt to make a strong female character because they weren’t defined by their sex; they were great characters who happened to be female. I feel some of that has been lost in modern film. It’s like they’re reversed engineered now. I miss when the character mattered more.

Alita in Alita Battle Angel is another strong, determined female character (cyborg). The WOKE people criticized Cameron because Alita, who was a a badass warrior with martial arts ability, had a feminine body characteristic of a young woman; their criticism is ridiculous.

@@44excalibur Oh yeah I forgot. Still Cameron could've easily sidelined her if he was the type of person to do that, thankfully he didn't, and Ripley only grew stronger in the events of the second film.

Just a few points... 1. H.R Giger, the Swiss surrealiast artist who designed the facehugger, chestburster, alien, alien ship etc actually used bones in his sculptures, including that of the derelict ship 2. The chestburster scene - as some others have mentioned, none of the cast knew what was going to happen. The chestburster was rigged up and loaded up with blood. Their reactions caught on film are 100% genuine "WTF". Ridley Scott was genius! During its initial runs, many cinema goers ran from the theater to be violently ill in the toilets after this scene (or were sick in their actual theatre seat). 3. The robot guy, was Sir Ian Holm. He not only played the priest in the 5th Element, but also Bilbo in the Hobbit trilogy. Classically trained actor with a wealth of very famous roles during his life (he passed away a few years ago). 4. Some scenes were omitted from the theatrical cut - Parker, Riple and Lambert in a cut scene actually trapped the alien in a airlock, only for Ash (the robot science officer) to release it. Also, after Parker and Lambert's death, but before initiating the self destruct sequence on the Nostromo (that's the name of their ship), Ripley stumbles upon a cellar section that had Dallas (the captain), and Brett (engineer, Parker's sidekick) being slowly turned into more alien eggs - they were cocooned by the alien. Some theaters did feature this in the theatrical release by mistake, but it wasn't until the movie was released to DVD many years later that these cut scenes were properly re-introduced as cut scenes. 5. There is a PS4/5 game called "alien isolation" based on Alien that is scary AF. If you have a feint heart, don't play it. 6. Finally, AVP (Alien Vs Predator) originated in a comic book series published by the now defunct Dark Horse comics. I have some of these original comics in my collection. Both franchises were owned by the now defunct 20th Century fox (now owned by Disney sadly) who took advantage of the idea as Dark Horse comics had to licence the material (and thus 20th century fox owned anything that they created). 7 Ridley Scott was heavily influenced by both Star Wars and 2001: a space odyssey. Some recommended movies to record reactions too: 1. Raiders of the lost ark (1982) 2. John Carpenter's "they live" (brilliant!) (1988) 3. Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner" (same year of release as Alien - 1979) 4. The howling (1981) - classic werewolf horror film. 5. predestination (2014) - this film has sci-fi/mystery elements and is a complete mind fuck. Highly recommended. Vastly underrated, simply brilliant and thought provoking.

Gotta watch Predator 2. It's probably the most lore heavy, not sure why you think she should skip it.

You two: We watched Prometheus when we were teenagers! Me, who watched Prometheus almost a decade after college: Guess I'll turn to dust, then.

I don’t know what u r skipping Predator 2, they show a lot about Why Predators are the way they are in that Movie! After the Original Predator, P2 is where we can see a lot of the Predator behavior and actions, specially in a City. Anthony u and Casey should watch all of the movies.

Lots of people who see this film these days breathe a sign of relief after the alien is jettisoned from the shuttle, and rightly so, BUT in the 1980s a man started a novel series based on alien, and in the first one the story follows where that alien landed and what happened on the planet. Those books are really good.

Hey guys, just discovered your channel and I started to watch Alien with you guys and noticed my worst nightmare 😲😉 The transparent preview window! I'm sorry I just don't have the patience to watch it like that, it also give me a headache, lol Anyway, good luck with your channel!

This is such a fun journey to follow you guys thru! I’m team predator all the way. But I love the artist H.R. Giger who did the concept at for the alien xenomorphs!

He was a amazing visionary.

Who brings a cat into space? Someone who wants to pet something furry but doesn’t want things to get awkward when they do that with the captain’s beard.

Love love love your reaction videos. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

31:33 "Anybody who goes off on their own is the next to die." "It's a trope in horror films." You're right. Of course, Brett doesn't know he's in a horror film so he's not worried about that. He's also not worried about an alien the size of a chihuahua - unless he lets it bleed on him. So going off alone to catch Jonesy seems like a pretty good idea so they don't keep picking him up on their motion scanner.

You've got to watch Predator 2 before you watch AvP because Predator 2 connects the franchises. It's cheesy goodness.

girl your predator obsession is so funny and im here for it

Jonesey: Space Cat. The only theory that makes sense to me is that he was a stowaway feline. I don't think that the "company", who had strict quarantine protocols in place would give consent to a furry mammal for space travel. Hence, Jones was probably discovered by the crew after launch and there was no turning back so to speak. No way would this cat survive the environment on it's own, so I'm guessing that he was sharing the sleep pod with Ripley. And with no Purina Cat chow on board, I'm sure Jones just ate what the crew ate. Also, since Jones was in hyper sleep for 57 years between the Alien and Aliens films, he holds the record for the "worlds oldest cat". Coupled with the hyper sleep time-line from this film, Jones clearly lived well past 60 years old. Maybe 70+.

You can not imagine the joy this reaction bring me, and excuse me? How’s that you’re reacting only to the first two? I mean you can skip the third, but the one with Winona Ryder it’s good! Oh boy! I’m so excited!

Me and my buddy watched this movie on acid and ultimately decided it was the greatest movie ever made. Even after coming down, I haven’t changed my mind.

This is a classic. But nothing tops Aliens! That is a freaking all time great. I remember watching that at the theater. Yeah I'm that old. :) one character has so many punchlines in that movie. That to this day I remember and use. He made the movie for me. Well besides all the incredible action. Just one of the best sequels ever.

Great review - I was born in 71. As good as you thought it was - just imagine what we thought... we had no "point of reference" for what good sci-fi even was at the time! This movie was like a revalation for us at the time, and forever Changed what we thought sci-fi could be.

Big disservice if you skip Predator 2 especially if you're going to get into AVP if it wasn't for Predator 2 there would be absolutely no Alien versus Predator definitely a must

If you haven't seen Jorodowski's Dune, i highly recommend it...the fail project that was that movie fueled in a strange way the creation of Alien with the discovery of many artist, scriptwriter and H.R Giger !

I don't remember who did which.. is that the 84 movie? Since there's also the 2000 miniseries, and the 2021 part 1 movie.. I haven't read the books themselves, but I've watched so many lore videos, and it seems all of the adaptations miss different parts from each other, and there are some parts that got missed entirely by all 3, so outside of reading the books, it's kinda hard to recommend one adaptation over the others.. I've seen the three adaptations and the miniseries so far was my favorite, but I don't know how well they are going to do part 2 in 2023 yet.

While landing the landing strut landed on a boulder pushing it up into the ship. Also, the crew are basically space truckers. P.s. the alien was blocking the way to the shuttle.

30:30 "I would have asked for something better than a net." When the thing can bleed acid that will carve a hole through your ship out into space, sucking all the air out of the ship and making it impossible to survive, there might not be anything better than a net. Catch it, contain it, freeze it, go home. This ship actually has laser guns. In the Director's Cut, we see Kane with one when he's investigating the eggs. They just can't use anything that might make the alien bleed.
