Andy was actually right with the situation with Kay. With how close the Xenomorph was, it would have for sure gotten in before they could do anything, there was only time because it was doing exactly what he said it was doing; waiting for them to open the door. When it knew they wouldn’t, it just went ahead and took Kay, it sucks but definitely the logical call on his part
@@StinkyGreenBudmaybe you were stoned and didn’t grasp that the alien itself only had about five minutes of screen time. It was also competing with Star Wars. It was mostly a mind fuck but… you might have been high or just slow
This movie was trash, no originality copied one liners from the originals copied ideas and scenes from the originals. Story made no sense acting was horrible other than Andy, everything that's in this movie has been done throughout all the other ones. No creativity, no originality, waste of time
The World Building in Alien Romulus is absolutly gorgeous from the first to last Second. One can feel Fedes love for the Alien Franchise. Also I mentioned this before, I love to watch the two of, because you are both so invested into the movie you are watching. Great Editing that keeps the movies integraty. Anyway cheers
I really liked the original Alien film, mostly because they didn't *have* to show all the details, which added to the tension. IMHO they only got worse after that.
Awesome reaction guys !!! Fun fact : The alien-hybrid baby is played by Romanian basketball player, Robert Bobroczkyi. He’s 7 feet 7 inches tall (or 231.14 cm), which makes him seem terrifyingly huge compared to the shorter/smaller actors. Also I really do hope you guys change your mind & react to the rest of franchise 🙏🏽. They all offer different bits of information into the lore of this universe & IMO, they are all great in their own right.
29:56 - Yeah, it's nod to Aliens scene from the end, as well when Andy said "get away from her..." phrase)) Actually there are many nodes to both films Alien and Aliens, and also to game Alien Isolation (including some sound design choices, for example when their ship takes off, they raise the landing gear - and the hydraulic sound is taken from Aliens (the sound of the loader mecha ;D)
One reason this movie was so good was because the director got the SFX team from Aliens to work on this project. And you can tell. 3 and 4 are not terrible movies. You just need to watch the Assembly Cut for 3 and the Special Edition for 4. Almost completely different and better versions.
I hear you bro, but for new to the franchise viewers. I think Liam and Steph, shouldn't bother, even with those improved cuts of 3 and 4. I think they should just wait now with the rest of us, for the sequel to Romulus. They're probably all Aliened out by now anyway. I wouldn't even venture to the Prometheus timeline either, given the garbage sequel that followed that.
The FX were the only thing that was good in this movie everything that was in this movie has already been played out by all the other ones no originality, no creativity I walked out of the theater. Scenes and one-liners were stolen from the originals. Xenomorph just been played out too much it's time to move on to something else more creative.
fun fact: the facehuggers were bio 3d printed hence you saw on the monitor screen it said {specimen's completed 36 printing paused} which is a real life thing happening in which researchers are using cells to create synthetic organs for surgery's at hospitals
5:00 don't know if you figure it out later, but the debris at the beginning where xeno was found - is a debris of a Nostromo (you briefly see the name on the debris), so the Xeno which they found - was a xeno from the first Alien))
I have been waiting for you guys to do this movie, its incredible! What I was most excited to see, was your reaction when you first saw the offspring starring back at Andy! THAT scene gives me chills everytime!
Hi guys. I enjoy your reactions. But when it comes to movies you really shouldn't go so much by other people's opinions of what's good or bad so much that you don't watch a movie. Especially within a franchise. Watch the Alien Franchise and Alien vs Predator movies and determine for yourself how much they entertain you.
Absolutely agree. Judge for yourselves. You will always get views regardless. I've seen other reactors actually enjoy the movies people "tell" them not to bother watching.
From the trailer, I had a god hunch about this and my instincts served me well. I loved this. Saw at the cinema and it is my favourite movie of the year and my favourite Alien movie of all. I loved everything about it. Pure science fiction, starts on another planet, set mostly in space, creepy and gripping. Cailee Spaeny is brilliant. Love the fact that this movie has done so well. Massive fan here of Alien: Romulus.
7:15 yeah Spike Fearn (Bjorn, the asshole) has major claustrophobia and talked about how he spent all day weeping/having a panic attack in his trailer after filming that scene
It's worth going through the series if you've liked what you've watched so far. Ripley's story continues with 3 and there's also the prequels Prometheus & Covenant that are their own little duo.
Prometheus and Covenant were not meant to be part of the alien franchise really Scott said in many interviews that it's a different story it's about the hazards of AI enter David... Both of those stories center around David and the dangers of what AI could do to humanity if you pay attention carefully through both movies many times it's been said that David is very special he has a soul so to speak feelings like not like any other Android
A nitpick: the facehugger did finish completely even if it's cycle was interrupted. It's an all or nothing process. Bjorn's actions doomed everyone but Navarro, without the Alien being born on the ship they all would have escaped with only one casualty. It's interesting how they frame Andy (and the synthetic that sacrificed Bjorn's mother) as in the wrong and heartless but then have Bjorn do the opposite and show that it does far more damage. The Offspring at the end is brilliant as it's behavior mimics not only that of the Aliens, but also of a human toddler that doesn't understand it's own strength or the consequences of it lashing out.
In the first movie, the facehugger managed to leave Kane and hide in the ceiling where it died. I have a theory that makes sense but it is just a theory. In nature, there are species of caterpillar that eat food to store energy, then once they become a butterfly they lose their mouth. Because they cannot eat to make more energy, they have a fixed amount and die when it is depleted. I think that the facehuggers have a fixed energy that they transfer to the embryo they implant to fuel it's growth. When the facehugger detaches it has very little energy left which is why it usually dies within a few seconds or so. However, the facehugger in this movie was removed early which would mean it had some extra energy. This extra energy allowed it to crawl away and it would of probably died soon after.
As with the TERMINATOR movies, even the worst ALIEN movies are technically impressive, and Sigourney is always on her game. Here is the rundown: ALIEN 3's opening takes a dastardly turn, in order to continue the cash gra,...er story. It is directed by David Fincher (SEVEN), so it hits some high notes, but is the most depressing of all ALIEN movies. ALIEN RESURRECTION is actually a lot of fun. It kind of jumps the shark, but the jump is actually an interesting concept by writer Joss Whedon (Buffy, Firefly, SERENITY), especially when all the failed attempts are revealed (you'll know what I mean when you see them). ALIEN RESURRECTION introduces an even scarier human/alien hybrid than the one in ROMULUS. (ROMULUS took all the previous movies and put them in a blender!) RESURRECTION concludes Ripley's journey. PROMETHEUS takes place, 30 years before ALIEN. It is not about the aliens, so much as it introduces the black goo, and the gigantic alien engineers that use it to destroy and create life. Aside from two wonky scientists (a scene of an alien worm discovery was deleted, which makes them look like gleeful idiots when they encounter the larger version of it, later), PROMETHEUS is really impressive! It has an amazing android, and "space jockey" story. Michael Fassbender knocks it out of the park as the android, David! Ridley Scott directs for the first time, since ALIEN. The sets, the score, FX, and the cinematography are superior to the post-ALIENS sequels. ALIEN COVENANT takes place 11 years after the PROMETHEUS story. The black goo is back. The first half of the movie is fantastic and terrifying (back burster!). The second half was just okay. Again, directed by Scott. ALIEN VERSUS PREDATOR is set in present time. An expedition discovers a huge underground pyramid in Antarctica. Of course, Predators built it to train young warriors against the perfect organism. With humans, you have 3 races and a lot of bloodshed. Not taken too seriously, it is a fun time. ALIEN VERSUS PREDATOR: REQUIEM is the darker, more mean spirited entry of the two AvP movies. Impressively shot, but dark, both literally and story-wise. When I first saw it with my kids, they got upset at an alien sucking out the insides of a pregnant woman. Like I said, mean spirited. I had to put on a comedy - MEET THE SPARTANS, to cheer them up.
You should watch Prometheus and Alien Covenant. Intense movies. Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection were not my favorites. I also liked the first Alien vs. Predator. You should do reactions to those.
Nice reaction! This has become one of my favorite Alien films, very similar vibes as the first two classics! :) No spoilers here: IMO the "hate" for 3 and 4 is exaggerated. Perhaps because people expected more of the same, (and had waited _years_ for it back then, and now complain for decades about it, lol) - but they take a different direction creatively, some bold choices, not as great as the first two films, but some cool and interesting things are there, and more added to the lore. I enjoy Ripleys journey, and learning more about the Xenos and the company, I think you might too! And personally, I really really like the take Prometheus and Covenant started in this universe, but then again, also not "more of the same", quite different actually, so keep that in mind... but yeah, I get that not everyone liked them as much either. Just my opinion, internet :) Anyways fun to watch people react, especially when you know the jumpscares are coming, lol :)
Agree. I think the first two are perfect masterpiece, so when 3 and 4, which have some flaws in it's own way, even though there are good things in them, but they came after the two masterpieces expectation, could make 3 and 4 seems worse than they actually is. And you said it perfectly with Prometheus and Covenant, they're quite good on their own but totally different vibe from the first two, so if going in with the right expectation, they're not bad at all.
Great reaction, though I wish you had watched the rest. I personally love Alien 3 and Prometheus, though I understand some of the criticism against both. But as other people have said: you should focus on what ya'll want to watch, you'll get surprised at some that do well on your channel
Thanks, Liam and Steph! 👾 I would've modified a couple of elements from this one and it would've been perfect in my eyes. 🔸 Some of the references will make more sense when y'all get around to PROMETHEUS (2012) and ALIEN: COVENANT (2017)... which I think are both good and add a lot to the lore... particularly about an aspect that had people wondering since the very first movie. 🔸 I agree that ALIEN 3 (1992) is okay skipping, even though many love it and it does have some cool parts. But I think ALIEN: RESURRECTION (1997) is worth a watch.
I kinda feel opposite about A3 and A4, even despite the last creature in the A4) A4 too cheesy and quirky for my taste. And A3 (mostly in the script then audible in film) bring more vividly the idea of a dna-mixing when facehugger do his thing)
You definitely should watch Alien 3 Assembly cut (it's really good film at the core, just has an issue with filming process and producers) and 2 prometheus films from Ridley Skott (they pretty awesome visually, just have some script and characters related problems). Alien 4 - is kinda very controversial, but I think it still worth to watch a single time :)
Prometheus makes the black goo far more confusing. The black goo comes from the face huggers but Prometheus makes it look like the engineers made the black goo which they didn’t.
Prometheus wasn't made to be part of the alien franchise. Ridley Scott wanted to get away from the xenomorph because it had been played out too much already, so Prometheus is based more off of AI in the dangers it could bring , Enter David. Both movies is explain that David is not just an Android He's very special unlike the others he was given a soul so to speak and feelings unlike the other Androids from all the other movies
@natetr1p Covenant wasn't even supposed to have any xenomorphs but because of the public complaint about not having them and the studio pressure really just threw them in there and blended them into the story. But he had no desire to tell their story anymore. But because the studios only care about marketing and and making money they pressured really to include them. Then he put them back in and people still complained can never make anyone happy
This movie is Easter egg city. I was pleased to see the save stations from Alien isolation 😊😊 and also how rook looked when he was damaged. Another nod to the working Joe's in alien isolation. "The A2's always were a bit twitchy."
@@SubterrelProspectoryou do know this is in the future, RIGHT? You did see the second one where they colonized the planet that was not hospitable, RIGHT? Yeah, don’t be a dick.
Honestly, when you’re just watching and being filmed, you don’t really think about everything to do with the worlds…I saw rings around a planet, my brain thought Saturn😂 my bad okay!
Guys don’t forget Prometheus and alien covenant in actual fact Prometheus is the ist alien movie then covenant then alien then romulas then aliens then alien 3 which is now alien 6 then alien ressurection
There definitely was not time to let Kay thru that door. The aliens are way faster and opening and closing the door takes 8 seconds. More than enough time to come thru
25:28 I ran to catch an elevator as the doors were closing but the little brat inside just laughed and let the doors close. I caught that same elevator downstairs and when I saw the brat I said, "You could've opened the f*** door, wahuaeoaeiouiu!!!"
I argue it will make less sense if you watch Prometheus. That movie was a muddled mess when it came to the substance. Romulus simplified it to make much more sense.
You should definitely watch the last 4 movies Ripley's story doesn't end until Alien Resurrection and Prometheus and covenant are prequels you guys would have understood Romulus a bit better had you watched them in order
Just depends on who the highest bidders were and since you probably can’t have them on the planet legally, the easiest and cheapest option was having them in stasis
Also, Ian Holms really loved playing this character and wanted to come back to play it. As maybe a different version of the synthetic. “Rook” in this case. Like terminators t model 800 series. They all look like Arnie. Assembly line. But he never got the chance. Fede Alvarez asked the family if they could use his likeness and they said yes.
This was a great reaction by both of you guys!! Planning to watch this one over the other ones that’s fine. But I think the Prequels should be watched giving IF you guys want to know where this Aliens came about and why, but if you guys decided that Prometheus is not for you guys, than you guys may stop. Also Alien 3 may be too boring for you guys, Alien Resurrection which is Alien 4 is the last story of the character Ripley, that’s all I can say. Good luck and I’m also a Star Wars fannatic so I’ll watch those. Peace ✌️
Alien³ and Resurrection are still better than Prometheus and Covenant hehe. :-) I mean, not needed. The way they did Romulus kind of replaces the need for Prometheus and Covenant in the trilogy. Especially, combined with resurrection.
Tastes are really subjective, and not everyone feel the same. I would watch by myself the rest of the movies and decide if u guys like or not. I find forbidding to watch something u didn't like to others (this is, hey stop here don't watch this or that), is not just, and more a way to not letting others could disagree with ur opinion, not allowing them to even shape one. Watch to or till u want guys, many ppl think otherwise about some of the other movies. And btw, nice reaction, thank u both
there is a theory that they already picked Ellen Ripley up in the escape pod that's how Rook "Ash" synthetic knew there was only one survivor from the Nostromo, you can also see the escape pod in the film on 2 occasions once was when the girl is trapped in the room with the Alien and the others are outside the room its in the back ground and the other is when the station is crashing you can see it on the right side of the screen.
and of course colony not on Saturn :D. Many planets out there can have rings) Saturn is a gas giant, there is no solid surface and very extreme gravitation.
Appreciate it, thank you! We have seen them both unfortunately but we WILL be reacting to Terrifier 3. That should be fun getting that on RUclips with all of the RUclips guidelines😂😭
The shots of Rook are actually a silicone skinned animatronic puppet. They used scans from Ian Holm during the development of the first Lord of the Rings movie, and used those to generate a model for a practical puppet. They apparently used deep fake for the lip and eye movements but most of what you see is the puppet. Given all of that, there's even shots in that sequence that Fede doesn't like but they had to move forward with limited time and budget.
I watched it in the cinema - and again last night, up close and personal on my computer I still don't think he looks that bad at all Nowhere near as bad as "Tarkin" in Rogue One which everybody raves about What do you expect? For them to revive Ian Holm's corpse, put some makeup on him, and be utterly convincing? I think this was a good use of a plot device ... Ash represents the tried-and-trusted science android model they know will get the job done. This one, Rook, was programmed to be even more fervent in his pursuit of the Company's objectives No CGI works perfectly - none But, as SFX goes, they did a good job bringing an "Ash" model to life - not perfect, but what could they have done?
The xeno saved rain because she was ripe for implantation thats why it wanted her, before when it took kay it pierced her and injured her making her unsuitable for implantation so it had learnt by its earlier mistakes when it came to rain and caught her more carefully
I actually really liked 3 and Resurrection for very different reasons. 3 has a very dark and bleak tone for more immersive horror like Alien and then Resurrection is really having fun with itself with the action, variety of set pieces, and a wise-cracking crew of characters more similar to Aliens. I'd stick around if you watch the whole franchise including the Alien Vs Predator movies.
If you get a chance the Family and I would absolutely love to see you both react to "Interstellar". It's a very popular movie to react to and i'm sure you would both love the movie. Thanks for all the great reactions, we really enjoy watching you both
Aww Thanks for watching. Unfortunately we have both seen it. I watched it with my best friend for the 10th time about 2 weeks ago as well. That film is amazing!!!
Regarding the other movies: Alien 3 (the restored version, can't remember it's full name) was a good movie, I think people just found it disappointing as a sequel to Aliens. Resurrection, Prometheus and Covenant are mixed bags, some parts are good, others bad. You should watch them and decide for yourself. AvP was watchable, but it was very tame. AvPR is an objectively terrible movie, though I quite enjoyed it. If you go into it expecting nothing you might at least have fun with the action sequences, I thought the Predator in it was awesome. To be fair, personally, Resurrection is the only one I hate.
Lastly. I know how it seems. But Andy was right. Had he opened the door. The xenomorph was waiting to pounce. It would’ve closed that distance in moments and taken all of them. Destroying Andy in the process. That wouldn’t be in the best interest of the company. So the xenomorph decided to prey and stalk and when it realized they weren’t going to open the door. It showed up.
You absolutely simply have to watch the prequels....those are great movies....not better than the originals but different and very interesting.....you will have a blast with prometheus and covenant....
Prometheus in Covenant are not prequels.. Ridley Scott was tired of telling the story of the xenomorph because it had been played out by all the other films after alien and aliens so Prometheus is centered around AI and what the dangers they could bring enter David. Prometheus and Covenant are more centered around David and what AI could do if given the power. David was not like any other Android and any of the other films he was actually given feelings a soul so to speak if you watch the beginning of Covenant Waylen explains that
The planet they were on isn't Saturn. It's a planet called Jackson. It's a far out weyland yutani colony. If it were Saturn they could just go to Earth which is only 67 minutes away from Saturn at light speed. The closest system to them is Yvaga which is 9 years away at light speed. They need cryosleep because their ship doesn't have the facilities to store food and water as well as oxygen reserves for a trip that long which is why they must sleep. This is why it was so hard for them to leave without the company. Most people on the planet have ships for work around the planet but do not have the cryopods to truly leave which keeps them slaved to the company. So when the cast discovers the station with cryopods they take their chances as it's the only way they will be free.
You're right it was good for what David fincher had to do with no script, limited budget, studio breathing down his neck. And of course tywin Lannister is in this movie from GOT
your reaction to the offspring hybrid was great 😭 this movie was a blast. I definitely recommend watching the rest of the series tbh. Ppl seriously over-exaggerate them being bad. For me personally, Alien 3 is the weakest. Prometheus, and Covenant are really great reaction material. Alien Resurrection as well
You're right on, everything in this movie has already been done in all the other ones, all this movie could do was feed off the originals and steal one liners and scenes from the originals
Traumatic?? These characters are far too wooden and forgettable to care about. So much of Romulus is lifted straight out of older, better Alien films, including Resurrection. There is NOTHING that good or powerful in Alien Romulus. Its a fan film complete with cheap, fan service dialogue. You should see Aliens on the big screen if you ever get the chance. Now THAT is traumatic.
Yes they stole many things from all the alien films, the black goo is from Prometheus and Covenant even though Prometheus isn't part of the alien franchises as far as ridley Scott is concerned . He said in many interviews that the alien franchise and the xenomorph was played out so he created Prometheus to center around AI and David That's what Prometheus is about The dangers of AI if you watch and listen the movie many times it stated that David is special he was given a soul so to speak, feelings. Then the creation turned on its master
I don’t find homey to be so badZ he has a reason for his hatred for ai. Synthetics. I know more then I care to talk about in real life. And we haven’t even gotten there yet. But I always truly loved and liked the idea of true ai. Like they were humanities children in a way. So I understand the fear. I feel for this synthetic character.
You should've really watched the other movies and played Alien Isolation first because you'll otherwise not get most of the references in Romulus and how it actually ties in the various stories.
on the subject of whether or not to watch Alien 3 and Alien resurrection, Alien 3 is a decent movie but Resurrection is terrible, having said that, still watch them and decide for yourselves
You maybe should see Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection. Personally I hate 3, but it is redeemable, Alien Resurrection for what it is, is rather fun, so late 90s

Andy and Rain are going to get their own storyline and I'm so happy about it!!!
That’s awesome!!! 🙌🏼

Was the opposite for me. Such an forgettable film.

All the Alien movies are worth watching really, they each have their good points.

I really liked the original Alien film, mostly because they didn't *have* to show all the details, which added to the tension. IMHO they only got worse after that.
Honestly they can skip Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection. Prometheus and Alien Covenant are essentials though.
Avp and covenant are trash
@@birchflash yes, some bad movies even can be entertaining in their own way
26:00 - "Prometheus gift for humanity" - it's direct link to Prometheus films of Ridley Scott
Awesome reaction guys !!!
Fun fact : The alien-hybrid baby is played by Romanian basketball player, Robert Bobroczkyi. He’s 7 feet 7 inches tall (or 231.14 cm), which makes him seem terrifyingly huge compared to the shorter/smaller actors.

PROMETHEUS AND COVENANT PUUUHHH LLEEEEAAS
the lore is super enjoyable if you do really like the alien universe

Bjorn's actions doomed everyone but Navarro, without the Alien being born on the ship they all would have escaped with only one casualty. It's interesting how they frame Andy (and the synthetic that sacrificed Bjorn's mother) as in the wrong and heartless but then have Bjorn do the opposite and show that it does far more damage.
The Offspring at the end is brilliant as it's behavior mimics not only that of the Aliens, but also of a human toddler that doesn't understand it's own strength or the consequences of it lashing out.
In the first movie, the facehugger managed to leave Kane and hide in the ceiling where it died. I have a theory that makes sense but it is just a theory. In nature, there are species of caterpillar that eat food to store energy, then once they become a butterfly they lose their mouth. Because they cannot eat to make more energy, they have a fixed amount and die when it is depleted. I think that the facehuggers have a fixed energy that they transfer to the embryo they implant to fuel it's growth. When the facehugger detaches it has very little energy left which is why it usually dies within a few seconds or so.

It kind of jumps the shark, but the jump is actually an interesting concept by writer Joss Whedon (Buffy, Firefly, SERENITY), especially when all the failed attempts are revealed (you'll know what I mean when you see them). ALIEN RESURRECTION introduces an even scarier human/alien hybrid than the one in ROMULUS. (ROMULUS took all the previous movies and put them in a blender!) RESURRECTION concludes Ripley's journey.
PROMETHEUS takes place, 30 years before ALIEN. It is not about the aliens, so much as it introduces the black goo, and the gigantic alien engineers that use it to destroy and create life. Aside from two wonky scientists (a scene of an alien worm discovery was deleted, which makes them look like gleeful idiots when they encounter the larger version of it, later), PROMETHEUS is really impressive! It has an amazing android, and "space jockey" story. Michael Fassbender knocks it out of the park as the android, David! Ridley Scott directs for the first time, since ALIEN. The sets, the score, FX, and the cinematography are superior to the post-ALIENS sequels.
ALIEN COVENANT takes place 11 years after the PROMETHEUS story. The black goo is back. The first half of the movie is fantastic and terrifying (back burster!). The second half was just okay. Again, directed by Scott.
ALIEN VERSUS PREDATOR is set in present time. An expedition discovers a huge underground pyramid in Antarctica. Of course, Predators built it to train young warriors against the perfect organism. With humans, you have 3 races and a lot of bloodshed. Not taken too seriously, it is a fun time.
ALIEN VERSUS PREDATOR: REQUIEM is the darker, more mean spirited entry of the two AvP movies. Impressively shot, but dark, both literally and story-wise. When I first saw it with my kids, they got upset at an alien sucking out the insides of a pregnant woman. Like I said, mean spirited. I had to put on a comedy - MEET THE SPARTANS, to cheer them up.
"We simply cannot wait for evolution anymore" - That's what drives the human/droid narrative.
But he is right though the humans were dying in that universe no one can adopt to changing conditions
Liam hates those little crawlers 😅
Haha he really does! 🤣
You should watch Prometheus and Alien Covenant. Intense movies. Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection were not my favorites. I also liked the first Alien vs. Predator. You should do reactions to those.
The three women represent the three Ripleys. The straight hair, curly hair and the bald Ripley bald Ripley.
The bald ripley!? 🤔 the next movies I’m guessing? Nice!
@ alien III. Prison colony
Nice reaction! This has become one of my favorite Alien films, very similar vibes as the first two classics! :)
No spoilers here:
IMO the "hate" for 3 and 4 is exaggerated. Perhaps because people expected more of the same, (and had waited _years_ for it back then, and now complain for decades about it, lol) - but they take a different direction creatively, some bold choices, not as great as the first two films, but some cool and interesting things are there, and more added to the lore.
I enjoy Ripleys journey, and learning more about the Xenos and the company, I think you might too!
And personally, I really really like the take Prometheus and Covenant started in this universe, but then again, also not "more of the same", quite different actually, so keep that in mind... but yeah, I get that not everyone liked them as much either.
Just my opinion, internet :)
Anyways fun to watch people react, especially when you know the jumpscares are coming, lol :)
Agree. I think the first two are perfect masterpiece, so when 3 and 4, which have some flaws in it's own way, even though there are good things in them, but they came after the two masterpieces expectation, could make 3 and 4 seems worse than they actually is.
And you said it perfectly with Prometheus and Covenant, they're quite good on their own but totally different vibe from the first two, so if going in with the right expectation, they're not bad at all.
Agree with everything said above.
@@rosslad
If you watch alien 3 it NEEDS to be the Assembly cut. It fixes many of the issues with 3.
Isn’t it like 3hours long? lol
Great reaction, though I wish you had watched the rest. I personally love Alien 3 and Prometheus, though I understand some of the criticism against both. But as other people have said: you should focus on what ya'll want to watch, you'll get surprised at some that do well on your channel
Thanks, Liam and Steph! 👾 I would've modified a couple of elements from this one and it would've been perfect in my eyes. 🔸 Some of the references will make more sense when y'all get around to PROMETHEUS (2012) and ALIEN: COVENANT (2017)... which I think are both good and add a lot to the lore... particularly about an aspect that had people wondering since the very first movie. 🔸 I agree that ALIEN 3 (1992) is okay skipping, even though many love it and it does have some cool parts. But I think ALIEN: RESURRECTION (1997) is worth a watch.
I kinda feel opposite about A3 and A4, even despite the last creature in the A4) A4 too cheesy and quirky for my taste. And A3 (mostly in the script then audible in film) bring more vividly the idea of a dna-mixing when facehugger do his thing)
But I think both worth to watch
You definitely should watch Alien 3 Assembly cut (it's really good film at the core, just has an issue with filming process and producers) and 2 prometheus films from Ridley Skott (they pretty awesome visually, just have some script and characters related problems). Alien 4 - is kinda very controversial, but I think it still worth to watch a single time :)
I only just realized as the Zuckermorph was feeding, the tail was still growing. 😳
Those 3 were the best. But you might want to see Prometheus. It shows the black goo.
Prometheus makes the black goo far more confusing. The black goo comes from the face huggers but Prometheus makes it look like the engineers made the black goo which they didn’t.
Prometheus wasn't made to be part of the alien franchise. Ridley Scott wanted to get away from the xenomorph because it had been played out too much already, so Prometheus is based more off of AI in the dangers it could bring , Enter David. Both movies is explain that David is not just an Android He's very special unlike the others he was given a soul so to speak and feelings unlike the other Androids from all the other movies
@phillipsalaises2782 are you sure about that? I mean, it introduced the engineers and their vehicle that was found.
@natetr1p Covenant wasn't even supposed to have any xenomorphs but because of the public complaint about not having them and the studio pressure really just threw them in there and blended them into the story. But he had no desire to tell their story anymore. But because the studios only care about marketing and and making money they pressured really to include them. Then he put them back in and people still complained can never make anyone happy
Alien Romulus (2024), мне очень понравился очень хороший фильм, теперь он у меня в коллекции😊🎉❤
Please watch the Prometheus and Covenant movies they explain even more. I think you would enjoy them a lot.
This movie is Easter egg city. I was pleased to see the save stations from Alien isolation 😊😊 and also how rook looked when he was damaged. Another nod to the working Joe's in alien isolation. "The A2's always were a bit twitchy."
There was even an Easter egg to Origae 6 from Covenant and some Blade Runner references with origami animals
I need to play that game!
Interesting to see the ‘Pupation’ of the ‘Alien’. From Chestburster to full form in its morphology.
The 'assembly cut' of 3 is damn good, but 4 (resurrection) yeah, you can skip that.
It's not Saturn, it's another planet light years from earth
Like obviously. They see rings and automatically think Saturn? Since when could you LAND on Saturn? It's a gas planet.
@SubterrelProspector Yep, most people don't understand how space, planets, and galaxies all work. It confuses them.
@@SubterrelProspectoryou do know this is in the future, RIGHT? You did see the second one where they colonized the planet that was not hospitable, RIGHT? Yeah, don’t be a dick.
Honestly, when you’re just watching and being filmed, you don’t really think about everything to do with the worlds…I saw rings around a planet, my brain thought Saturn😂 my bad okay!
Guys don’t forget Prometheus and alien covenant in actual fact Prometheus is the ist alien movie then covenant then alien then romulas then aliens then alien 3 which is now alien 6 then alien ressurection
A second movie is already being planned with Rain and Andy. I can't wait. ❤
That already sounds awesome, I can't wait.
i loved them together fr. and i got hooked on the aliens movie. didn't watch the first one as much. but love ripley and the young girl.
Awesome!
There definitely was not time to let Kay thru that door. The aliens are way faster and opening and closing the door takes 8 seconds. More than enough time to come thru
Yeah, wishful thinking I guess
25:28 I ran to catch an elevator as the doors were closing but the little brat inside just laughed and let the doors close. I caught that same elevator downstairs and when I saw the brat I said, "You could've opened the f*** door, wahuaeoaeiouiu!!!"
😂 I hope you said it exactly like this 😂
I wouldn't dream of saying it any other way lol😂
You should watch Alien Resurrection and Covenant. It would be interesting to see what you think of them.
Great movie
The "compound"-the black goo in the injector-and the third element in the Offspring, the Engineers, will make more sense once you watch Prometheus.
I argue it will make less sense if you watch Prometheus. That movie was a muddled mess when it came to the substance. Romulus simplified it to make much more sense.
i enjoyed Alien Romulus a lot, even though it was a very divisive film
They’ll probably get around to the rest of them. No need to tell them what to do. This is their experience, not yours
Not the rings of Saturn, the Jackson Star Colony is in a wholly different star system
Bjorn is Tyler and Kay's cousin btw.
Hopefully not Kay’s cousin because he Is
The father
This one is 20 years later after the first alien movie.
You should definitely watch the last 4 movies Ripley's story doesn't end until Alien Resurrection and Prometheus and covenant are prequels you guys would have understood Romulus a bit better had you watched them in order
Totally agree
Good job! As a reactor suggestion: Don't talk, interrupt at any time, but sammarize in the end.
Watch 3 & 4! You might be surprised. Good reaction on this one.
Thanks for watching! We may continue….😃
It didn’t need to keep Brett alive for ‘Hive’ building.
For how aggressive Waylon is about acquiring xeno, why leave a bunch of viable huggers in stasis?
Just depends on who the highest bidders were and since you probably can’t have them on the planet legally, the easiest and cheapest option was having them in stasis
@judeless77 but the ship was abandoned. Of course keeping them in stasis but you would think there would be security and experiments going on
Also, Ian Holms really loved playing this character and wanted to come back to play it. As maybe a different version of the synthetic. “Rook” in this case.
Like terminators t model 800 series. They all look like Arnie. Assembly line. But he never got the chance. Fede Alvarez asked the family if they could use his likeness and they said yes.
I hope Bjorn wasn't the father of Kay's baby, they're cousins.
i really don’t think he is. the brother clearly referred to him as his (hence, their) cousin. 🤷🏾♂️
@dreambrother82 exactly. But a lot of reactors aren't making that connection for some reason.
@@FLQueerLiberal1982 i just read on another comment the director supposedly said, yes, Bjorn was the father 😫
@dreambrother82 kissing cousins?
When it comes to movies, I heart trauma ❤
play alien isolation it influenced this movie big time
The practical effects on this movie were so damn good, my only complaint was Rook (Ash android), seen better deepfakes.
This was a great reaction by both of you guys!! Planning to watch this one over the other ones that’s fine. But I think the Prequels should be watched giving IF you guys want to know where this Aliens came about and why, but if you guys decided that Prometheus is not for you guys, than you guys may stop. Also Alien 3 may be too boring for you guys, Alien Resurrection which is Alien 4 is the last story of the character Ripley, that’s all I can say. Good luck and I’m also a Star Wars fannatic so I’ll watch those. Peace ✌️
Alien³ and Resurrection are still better than Prometheus and Covenant hehe. :-)
I mean, not needed. The way they did Romulus kind of replaces the need for Prometheus and Covenant in the trilogy. Especially, combined with resurrection.
Tastes are really subjective, and not everyone feel the same. I would watch by myself the rest of the movies and decide if u guys like or not. I find forbidding to watch something u didn't like to others (this is, hey stop here don't watch this or that), is not just, and more a way to not letting others could disagree with ur opinion, not allowing them to even shape one. Watch to or till u want guys, many ppl think otherwise about some of the other movies.
And btw, nice reaction, thank u both
there is a theory that they already picked Ellen Ripley up in the escape pod that's how Rook "Ash" synthetic knew there was only one survivor from the Nostromo, you can also see the escape pod in the film on 2 occasions once was when the girl is trapped in the room with the Alien and the others are outside the room its in the back ground and the other is when the station is crashing you can see it on the right side of the screen.
Great Reaction 👍 BRAVEHEART should be your next Reaction,don't sleep on this movie...🎬
and of course colony not on Saturn :D. Many planets out there can have rings) Saturn is a gas giant, there is no solid surface and very extreme gravitation.
Yeah I’m an idiot, I just saw rings and my brain said Saturn😂
@@Reactsandgames Yeah, that happens sometimes :D
Might be my top film of 2024❤
Always love your reaction guys. Can you also react to Evil Dead Rise or Terrifier? ❤ Tia
Appreciate it, thank you! We have seen them both unfortunately but we WILL be reacting to Terrifier 3. That should be fun getting that on RUclips with all of the RUclips guidelines😂😭
Watch Prometheus (2012) and Alien covenant (2017)
Ngl. I wanted the Illegible A-hole to bite the dust.
Looks like they spent the movies budget on everything else and only had $3.50 left over for the cgi on Rook.
The shots of Rook are actually a silicone skinned animatronic puppet. They used scans from Ian Holm during the development of the first Lord of the Rings movie, and used those to generate a model for a practical puppet.
They apparently used deep fake for the lip and eye movements but most of what you see is the puppet.
Given all of that, there's even shots in that sequence that Fede doesn't like but they had to move forward with limited time and budget.
@@pandapropsncostumes Ah so they spent the $3.50 on animatronics, not cgi, my bad.
I watched it in the cinema - and again last night, up close and personal on my computer
I still don't think he looks that bad at all
Nowhere near as bad as "Tarkin" in Rogue One which everybody raves about
What do you expect? For them to revive Ian Holm's corpse, put some makeup on him, and be utterly convincing?
I think this was a good use of a plot device ... Ash represents the tried-and-trusted science android model they know will get the job done.
This one, Rook, was programmed to be even more fervent in his pursuit of the Company's objectives
No CGI works perfectly - none
But, as SFX goes, they did a good job bringing an "Ash" model to life - not perfect, but what could they have done?
That human alien hybrid at the end is 2,31m Basketball pro Robert Bobroczkyi in a costume, good choice from the movie director
That’s crazy!!
It's been confirmed that there will be like a sequel to this to continue the store
Thanks for letting us know! ☺️
34:45 Now THAT is what I call a new form of pregnancy.
The xeno saved rain because she was ripe for implantation thats why it wanted her, before when it took kay it pierced her and injured her making her unsuitable for implantation so it had learnt by its earlier mistakes when it came to rain and caught her more carefully
Makes sense. I did wonder why it didn’t kill her quick but then I saw the face hugger and it made sense what it was doing!😃
I actually really liked 3 and Resurrection for very different reasons. 3 has a very dark and bleak tone for more immersive horror like Alien and then Resurrection is really having fun with itself with the action, variety of set pieces, and a wise-cracking crew of characters more similar to Aliens. I'd stick around if you watch the whole franchise including the Alien Vs Predator movies.
If you get a chance the Family and I would absolutely love to see you both react to "Interstellar". It's a very popular movie to react to and i'm sure you would both love the movie. Thanks for all the great reactions, we really enjoy watching you both
Aww Thanks for watching. Unfortunately we have both seen it. I watched it with my best friend for the 10th time about 2 weeks ago as well. That film is amazing!!!
@@Reactsandgames We would have loved to see your first time reaction but glad you enjoyed it anyway
Regarding the other movies:
Alien 3 (the restored version, can't remember it's full name) was a good movie, I think people just found it disappointing as a sequel to Aliens.
Resurrection, Prometheus and Covenant are mixed bags, some parts are good, others bad. You should watch them and decide for yourself.
AvP was watchable, but it was very tame.
AvPR is an objectively terrible movie, though I quite enjoyed it. If you go into it expecting nothing you might at least have fun with the action sequences, I thought the Predator in it was awesome.
To be fair, personally, Resurrection is the only one I hate.
You have to watch the third one and then Prometheus and Covenant it would make you understand the Black Goo thats in this movie
13:30 Facehuggers! I HATE THOSE DAMN THINGS!!!
They are horrible! 😨
Lastly. I know how it seems. But Andy was right. Had he opened the door. The xenomorph was waiting to pounce. It would’ve closed that distance in moments and taken all of them. Destroying Andy in the process. That wouldn’t be in the best interest of the company.
So the xenomorph decided to prey and stalk and when it realized they weren’t going to open the door. It showed up.
❤ aye big fan of the channel 👏 not this movie tho happy holidays ❤❤❤❤❤🎉
Haha fair enough! Really appreciate you being here! 😃
You absolutely simply have to watch the prequels....those are great movies....not better than the originals but different and very interesting.....you will have a blast with prometheus and covenant....
Prometheus in Covenant are not prequels.. Ridley Scott was tired of telling the story of the xenomorph because it had been played out by all the other films after alien and aliens so Prometheus is centered around AI and what the dangers they could bring enter David. Prometheus and Covenant are more centered around David and what AI could do if given the power. David was not like any other Android and any of the other films he was actually given feelings a soul so to speak if you watch the beginning of Covenant Waylen explains that
The planet they were on isn't Saturn. It's a planet called Jackson. It's a far out weyland yutani colony. If it were Saturn they could just go to Earth which is only 67 minutes away from Saturn at light speed. The closest system to them is Yvaga which is 9 years away at light speed. They need cryosleep because their ship doesn't have the facilities to store food and water as well as oxygen reserves for a trip that long which is why they must sleep. This is why it was so hard for them to leave without the company. Most people on the planet have ships for work around the planet but do not have the cryopods to truly leave which keeps them slaved to the company. So when the cast discovers the station with cryopods they take their chances as it's the only way they will be free.
Thank you for sharing this with us! ☺️
You're right it was good for what David fincher had to do with no script, limited budget, studio breathing down his neck. And of course tywin Lannister is in this movie from GOT
your reaction to the offspring hybrid was great 😭 this movie was a blast. I definitely recommend watching the rest of the series tbh. Ppl seriously over-exaggerate them being bad. For me personally, Alien 3 is the weakest. Prometheus, and Covenant are really great reaction material. Alien Resurrection as well
Thanks. Definitely considering it!
This movie was such a garbage since the begining and it got even worse towards the ridiculous ending 😂 it was hilarously bad
You're right on, everything in this movie has already been done in all the other ones, all this movie could do was feed off the originals and steal one liners and scenes from the originals
Rey & Finn In "Star Wars, Episode X : Romulus"
😂😂😂
@@Reactsandgames Romulus is roughly set 20 years before Aliens.....
Traumatic?? These characters are far too wooden and forgettable to care about. So much of Romulus is lifted straight out of older, better Alien films, including Resurrection. There is NOTHING that good or powerful in Alien Romulus. Its a fan film complete with cheap, fan service dialogue.
You should see Aliens on the big screen if you ever get the chance. Now THAT is traumatic.
Damn dude you look so much like Patrick Wilson.
He is my wife’s crush and she says the same thing. Honestly I really don’t see it but I’ll eat that compliment all day! Thanks!😂👍🏻
Yes they stole many things from all the alien films, the black goo is from Prometheus and Covenant even though Prometheus isn't part of the alien franchises as far as ridley Scott is concerned . He said in many interviews that the alien franchise and the xenomorph was played out so he created Prometheus to center around AI and David That's what Prometheus is about The dangers of AI if you watch and listen the movie many times it stated that David is special he was given a soul so to speak, feelings. Then the creation turned on its master
35:30 😱😱😱😱
Go watching Alien 3 and Alien 4😊😊😊🎉Directors Cut very cool!!!
I don’t find homey to be so badZ he has a reason for his hatred for ai. Synthetics. I know more then I care to talk about in real life. And we haven’t even gotten there yet. But I always truly loved and liked the idea of true ai. Like they were humanities children in a way. So I understand the fear. I feel for this synthetic character.
First view and first comment, keep it up! Excited to see y'all watch the Star Wars prequels to finish out the series and story.
Thank you! They are coming soon! We are just waiting on something for the reaction 😃
Could you guys react to M Night Shymalan’s Signs next?
Unfortunately we have seen it. Amazing film! Love it!!
You should've really watched the other movies and played Alien Isolation first because you'll otherwise not get most of the references in Romulus and how it actually ties in the various stories.
There is still time. Maybe things will make sense more when I see them but it’s still enjoyable as a stand alone movie 😃
Ripley was aboard the station. You can see her shuttle twice.
It has been confirmed that she wasn't aboard the station
She was not. She was still drifting in space
Wait…what!?
@@Reactsandgames there are nudges of her existence but she was not on board
on the subject of whether or not to watch Alien 3 and Alien resurrection, Alien 3 is a decent movie but Resurrection is terrible, having said that, still watch them and decide for yourselves
You maybe should see Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection. Personally I hate 3, but it is redeemable, Alien Resurrection for what it is, is rather fun, so late 90s
This movie is great, love it. ❤ I think you should give Alien 3 and 4 a chance also. They are not that bad as some people think. Go 4it guys! 👍😄👽
If you do 3 and 4, got for the Assembly Cut for 3 and the Special Edition for 4. They do make them far more watchable.
