"tis but a scratch!" OMG a "Monty Python and The Holy Grail" joke! I thought boil the face hugger to make lunch was brilliant but a Python reference is next level!
The guy that opened the door wasn't being dumb, he was deliberately allowing the alien in. This is one of the better reaction videos to Alien I've seen.
Yeah with the hindsight I understood it was all part of his plan...but in the moment it happened, he really seemed super dumb to me! Thank you, I just pretty much say whatever crosses my mind while watching :D
This is my all-time favorite movie, since I saw it in the theater in 1979, so I'm always watching reactions to it. I have to say I've laughed more during yours than anybody else's. Thank you for that, and thank you for reacting to this film.
@@PennyisWatchingNice! I cracked up so much I think I made 5 comments including this. Please watch the extended version of ALIENS! It's more understandable!! Great Job! ☮️
@allengray5748 Yes, the extended version of the sequel is only slightly longer, but has important info and the added scenes are awesome. I think it's called Aliens Special Edition?
"1979, I didn't realize he was that old." Thank you for so kindly reminding me of my age. Back then, we took our time to tell a story. Nowadays, we always have to get straight to the point, to the detriment of quality. Thank you for the excellent reaction.
The reason Ripley tried to stop the countdown was because the alien was between her and the shuttle. A lot of people including myself did not understand that the first time they watched the movie.
I was so confused! For a second I thought I didn't notice the other woman running away, and that Ripley was trying to stop the countdown to give her enough time to reach the shuttle. Thanks for the explanation!
"Footfall," by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle is an epic scifi novel about an invasion of Earth by a race of aliens which closely resemble smallish elephants. It's a classic and a very enjoyable read.
Next is Aliens. It's easily the most epic roller coaster in the franchise. It's arguably the greatest sci-fi ever made. But you have to see the Special Edition to fully appreciate the movie and its amazing characters
17:44 "This entire movie wouldn't exist if they weren't stupid" That's typical for horror movies. Someone hears a noise in the middle of night, and instead of grabbing a weapon and hiding, they go down by themself, in the dark, into the basement, saying, "Kevin, is that you?"
Only an Italian would think if the alien would be edible or perhaps taste like chicken! That gave me a good laugh! One of the best Alien reactions on RUclips I've seen so far (and I've seen quite a lot of them). Greetings from Finland!
One of the best reactions to this movie!! I love all the alien and all the predator movies. I do like a lot of movies that most people do not like! Best wishes always Penny! 🙂❤
🤣 Alien Flambe! I love that! Of all of the people I have seen react to this movie, you are the first one to suggest cooking it and having it for Dinner. 👏
Penny this is by far the best reaction to Alien ever in my opinion. Extremely entertaining. Really looking forward to more movie reactions from you😊😊😊😊
Ridley Scott told Yaphet Kotto to annoy Sigourney Weaver on set to make their shared scene more tense. He later said he regretted it because he liked her
he can see, he just is wanting a friend.. you have to understand, he was just born on this ship, and started killing people.. after a while, he saw the cat, and was like, maybe i should be friends with that, instead of killing it, because its going to get lonely here.. thats when it realized that ripley was also planning on leaving him, so he snuck on board the shuttle while she wasnt looking, and you can see its trying to be friends with her, but then she tries to shoot it into space, and the alien is like, wtf
Tripling what kcewing1 said. Aliens (basically, "Alien 2") is considered by a great many people to be one of the best sequels ever. It is more action than horror. But Alien 3 was not good.
@@Paul_1971 No. They should be at least warned, so they know what they're getting into, and can make an informed choice. Making them eat sh1t when you know it's sh1t and they don't, is just sh1tty.
@@miller-joel Why? What makes you gatekeeper? Let them discover things just like how we did - otherwise your already making them go in with a bias mindset.
"Nostromo" is the title of one of Joseph Conrad's greatest novels, some say his best novel. Ridley Scott is a great admirer of Conrad's work, and his first movie was an excellent adaptation of Conrad's short story, "The Duellists." Ripley went back to stop the auto-destruct because the alien was blocking her passage to the shuttle. The situation did not occur because of stupidity, but because Ash, a robot following instructions, wanted to bring the alien back to Earth. "Alien" is not a modern, comic-book trash, action movie. It is an SF suspense thriller, and suspense requires a slow buildup
Great reaction, Penny! Hope you’re able to sleep peacefully without too many nightmares from this movie. Strongly recommend watching Aliens (1986) as it’s one of the best sequels of all time. As others have mentioned, the franchise generally disappoints starting with the third film. However, the recently released movie Alien: Romulus (2024) was overall quite good and worthy of reacting to. Best of all it takes place chronologically between Alien and Aliens. Though, I would still recommend watching Aliens next.
The company sent Ash because the alien won't go after a machine, only living organisms. No one but the company knew Ash was a robot. Any GOOD movie has a build up which takes time. Except for impatient people. I wouldn't risk my life for a cat. Now it's time for Aliens, the sequel. If you want to try an old classic, I would suggest Forbidden Planet (1956) with Leslie Neilson (his 1st starring role) which was an award winner for special effects. It is loosely base on the book, The Tempest, written by William Shakespeare in 1623.
36:20 "I don't get it. Why did she try to cancel the destruction?" Because she could not get into the shuttle. With no way to leave, she will blow up with the ship. So she tried to cancel it, for now, then try again later. But she was too late.
At the end when heading for the shuttle, Ripley is trying to turn the self destruct back off because the alien is between her and the life shuttle. She can't escape. That's why she's so cautious heading back to it.
@@PennyisWatching When Ripley ran towards their voices as they were attacked, she found Lambert hanging there. We see her feet dangling, briefly. Ripley knew she was alone with Jones. You're right though, in that if she thought Lambert was alive, she'd go after her. Ripley is a survivor, but she has strong principles. Also, I expect you will really love Aliens.
The faster-paced corridor-chasing shoot-em-up nail-biter is the second film, "Aliens." Very much recommended; it's up in the top tier of great action movie sequels with "Terminator 2." The extended director's version adds a bit of depth to the characters, particularly Ripley, and is the one to watch.
Really enjoying your reaction to these great movies! Btw, in the Alien's universe, the Weyland-Yutani ("The Company") corporation is MASSIVE in terms of business strength and influence. They have companies under them with companies under them and are more or less an empire. Most people work for the company and are usually heard/seen/described as continually looking for opportunities to get more money or advantages within the business structure. So when Parker and Brett are bringing up the "shares" situation, it tells a lot about their character compared to the others. Also, Ripley is an amazingly well written character and sniffs out their BS (and calls them on it) when Parker 'inflates' the repair time. I hope so much you watch the next movie, Aliens.
Forbidden donut.. forbidden sausage.. "I wonder if the alien is edible, if you cook it with the flamethrower... they lay eggs.. maybe it tastes like chicken." You seem to have a bit of a fascination with food, Penny! (I usually don't subscribe to channels until after I've watched several of their reactions, to decide if it's worth adding to my collection (of over 300 channels).. but your sense of humour was enough to instantly earn a sub! Bravo!)
I enjoyed your reaction. As is usual for me I will offer the suggestion to use some darker lighting when you're watching scary movies. But in any case I hope you and your channel do well!
The Nostromo is either "The Titanic" or an Imperial-Class Star Destroyer (the last one has escape pods for 96 people, while the entire crew complement is 37,085 plus 9,700 troopers).
what are you going to have 20 thousand dingys and escape pods for a giant ship with tons of people? that kind of nanny insanity only comes in modern mindsets
@@longfootbuddy It is some info. from that iconic Imperial starship from Star Wars and is a reminder that in the Empire don't truly care about their people. And I better not mention to you just how many people working for the Empire actually died in the destruction of the Death Star. Fortunately, the security standards in the Rebel Alliance were different and you had enough room in scape pods for crew and passengers, the only thing that could prevent you from saving yourself is that when on the run some debris fall onto you, that's on Mon Calamari cruisers and Nebulon-B Frigates.
If in the future when intergalagtical traveling is possible . This movie should be in their school curriculum material to teach what not to do when you are going to poke other planets.
So, regarding the other movies: *Aliens:* Special Edition, please. The added 20 minutes are not padding; they add significant character development and tension. But either way, it's AWESOME. *Alien 3:* Special Edition/Assembly Cut only. The theatrical cut was badly compromised by studio suit interference. The SE makes a lot more sense and just works better. *Alien: Resurrection:* This movie does not exist, nor will it ever exist. *Prometheus:* Opinions vary. I love it. A worthy prequel/opening for the series. *Alien: Covenant:* Again, opinions vary. But it's a solid film which explores some corners of the universe we haven't seen before. It also incorporates ideas from some unused screenplays, like William Gibson's Alien 3. *The AvP Movies:* Nah. Not great. And if you do, watch the Predator movies first.
Penny! You just gave the alien derelict ship a name. ‘The Forbidden Doughnut’ and it’s cargo of ‘forbidden omelets’. ‘Forbidden sausage?! Perfect reaction to watch for breakfast. Nice catch of Lambert being a lousy navigator for the voyage home and through the air vents! I remember my first impression of the film, my first Ridley Scott film. For me, because the film took its time, like it was filmed in ‘real time’, of all things, I felt it was like a documentary film! Of all the other films in the franchise, watch AlienS!
So many forbidden things, and they touched them all 😒 they clearly didn't watch any horror movie during one of their long space trips! I'll definitely check out the sequel, so many people have been recommending it!
You have two of the best sequels ever made to do now.. Terminator 2 (1991) and Aliens (1986) :) Predator (1987) and Predator 2 (1990) are also excellent If you want a suggestion unrelated to the above movies.. then I suggest The Thing (1982) Ripley tried to cancel the countdown because her passageway to the shuttle was blocked by the alien. The ship has two shuttles that should be able to take all of the crew, but one of the shuttles was damaged. Both ejecting Kane's corpse into space and the ship having a cat are callbacks to naval traditions (burial at sea etc.) Cheers!
Not spoiling ANYTHING about the next one. But its one of the best movie sequels of all time, right up there with Terminator 2, Empire Strikes Back, and Star Trek 2 The Wrath of Khan.
Only this film in the entire series can really be rated as a 10. But I also recommend watching Prometheus. The film has a series of flaws and inconsistencies, but I consider it on my list of essential films.
You're actually right. They really used chicken parts to create the egg, amongst other practical items/effects in that egg scene. Feel free to look it up.
Great review, Penny. Half the time I was admiring your speech. Your english is very good. It means you are very intelligent. For sure you need to watch the sequel "Aliens." It is arguably the greatest sequel in cinema history! Ciao.
First Off Ripley is Legend Alien is forever Second .... you Hot AF 🔥 Aliens is next 💯 don't listen to what people say about the 3rd (Alien III) it's worth watching but after that yeah .... not so much wait until you're well equipped for prometheus subd Stay Awesome ⭐️
Here are my ratings out of ten for the Alien series: Alien 8/10 Aliens 8/10 Alien 3 6/10 Alien Resurrection 6/10 Alien v Predator 7/10 Aliens v Predator 4/10 Prometheus 8/10 Alien: Covenant 5/10 Alien: Romulus Haven’t seen it Unless you love the Alien movies, I’d stop at Aliens.
I feel like donuts are absolutely allowed 99.9% of the times, but I'll keep that 0.01% of doubt about alien donuts...then who knows, maybe they are tasty! I think the Alien probably tastes like squid!
The sequel, “Aliens” is a great follow-up, more action, but like the Terminator franchise, after the initial sequel the additional follow-ups are inferior movie. However, I understand that the latest Alien movie in the franchise is better . . . but I haven’t seen it. Penny, I have to admit it, you truly remind me of The Baroness from the “GI Joe” cartoon/comic book/toy franchise, which should be received a great compliment to you . . . because it really is. Upon hearing that you always wanted to use a flamethrower, well, it really confirms it . . . you may be the living embodiment of that character. 😂 Nah, you make a better Starfleet Officer than Cobra Agent. Ciao! 😉👍
I've been told I look like the Baroness a lot of times! And also Bayonetta (she's the protagonist of a videogame, if it's not a hobby of yours), Morticia Addams, Tina Fey, a young Cher, Nana Visitor...I guess I look like a lot of people 😂
@@PennyisWatching It’s a good thing that all of your doppelgängers are known for being exceedingly attractive! BTW, in regard to the Predator franchise, which as you mention is in the same pretend Universe as “Alien”, has its highs (Arnold’s original film and, I’ll die on this Hill, the immediate sequel) and lows (most of the rest), the latest Predator film, called “Prey”, is magnificent and equal to the original “Predator” film. Just saying just in case you haven’t seen “Prey”. Looking forward to your future posts!!! 😉👍
Part II 😁 Many reactions wonder about the leaking water rain stuff!!?? Depending on what kind of machine you can have heavy condensation drip or enough humidity can reach air saturation point and rain from the air! ☮️
4:43 If you work for a cheap company the easiest way to get out of something is to say it's going to cost money. Oh sure I'd love to come in to work on Saturday but it's going to put me into overtime pay.
Great reaction. Hilarious. You would make a fine space ship captain… and I could listen to your accent all day. Now you should watch “Aliens”… and “Robocop”.
@@PennyisWatching I think your sense of direction would lead you to the most obvious choice: “The hell out of here. Immediately… and no passengers with squid attached to their face allowed.”
A Italian youngster is boarding the "Nostromo." What will she make of this "old, long, slow-moving, character-centered, no-DFX" movie? 3:56 The Company is sending the equivalent of a freighter crew to "do science" on an unexplored planet! 10:06 The Space Jockey, a mystery for decades.
Yes, the inside of the alien spaceship looks like ribs. It was designed by H. R. Giger. He did a lot of artwork with biomechanical themes. He also designed the Alien. You should check his stuff out.
Weird fact: I was familiar with some of Giger's works before watching this movie, because he made the album covers for two albums I love: "To Mega Therion" by Celtic Frost, but most importantly "Heartwork" by Carcass! He's also quoted as inspiration for so many weird and quirky videogames, that I went checking his art before!
@@PennyisWatching Yeah, he's an interesting guy. I think his first album cover is Emerson, Lake and Palmer; Brain Salad Surgery. Anyway, he made the Alien and designed that ship. Good stuff.
James Cameron, who wrote and directed Terminator, wrote and directed the sequel Aliens. So it’s more action oriented, more like Terminator. Which Ridley Scott films have you seen? Alien, Blade Runner, and Gladiator are probably my favorites of his. He’s excellent at world building in his films. As far as which Alien movies are good, I’d probably just stick with the first two. I can watch 3, but usually I get bored watching it. The ones after that aren’t good at all imo.
Ooooh I definitely wanna watch it then, didn't realize it was directed by Cameron! I judged him all wrong because of Titanic (which was technically extremely well made, but definitely not my genre...to many kisses, not enough explosions) but after watching Terminator I want to catch up with his movies!
41:22 "The robot doctor said it's impossible to kill them." No, he didn't. He said that these humans could not kill this alien, here, in their spaceship. True, he only said "you can't" which was unclear. Anything alive can be killed. Suffocate it, freeze it, poison it, crush it to a gooey stain on the floor, incinerate it to ash, shoot it with a few assault rifles, blow it up with dynamite, drop it in a blast furnace, run over it with a bullet train, toss it into a black hole, or a million other things should kill it. Some are easier than others, of course. The problem isn't that they are impossible to kill. The problem is that anything these few people might do would make it bleed acid, melt the ship, whoosh all the air into space, and blow them out into space too, and everybody dies. In their exact situation, they had no way to kill the alien AND survive the consequences.
Great film. The Sequel's pretty good too. Many will tell you Alien 3 is bad, but the Assembly Cut version is great. Recommend all the first 3. The fourth movie is OK, buy not essential.
Part IV 😂🤣😭 This is the best day!! You are cracking me up!! Hope it's not too late to say when you watch the second one,, watch the extended directors cut!! Also keep in as much of the funny dialogue as possible for ( non revealing) example a guy says to a lady: " Have you been mistaken for a man"?? This movie is loaded!! Ok I have to Subscribe! You are precious! ☮️
It was a little too long imo, at some point it really overstayed its welcome for me! But I prefer horror games in which you can go around and make a mess with the monsters, so it's my fault 😂
😂 "They want to get paid for the longguh/ napppuh/"!! I Love 💕 It!! First time visiting! I normally give a bad comment for talking constantly but yourah ackkuh centuh is very VERY adorabile!! Great Reaction!! 5 days late to the party 🥳🎉 Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
This is the first time I've seen your channel and I hit the subscription button after the whole chicken breast thing, which I will now be referring to face huggers as.
Well, that was fun, a smart, entertaining reaction. All the Alien films are worth watching, I'm not a big fan of Alien 3, Prometheus or Covenant but they are good films. Aliens, the special edition is the most interesting version imo. Alien Resurection (4) Is just a fun ride, don't expect great things but it is worth watching. (The alien effects are pretty good.)
These are space truckers, apparently not members of a union, and of course interested in the pay. At least the officers have some responsibility, but even on commercial officer pay I'd not be going to the great unknown. However good the film looks today it was done on a shoestring budget. They were using the cheapest tricks in filmmaking, and just rocked the looks.
In order 2 respect d whole Alien franchise timeline I would advise to watch Prometheus first which is more focused on d Space jockey backstory u know. Anyway enjoyed yr reaction video keep it up.
When you watch Aliens make sure it's the special edition. When this film was made people had better attention spans. Now everyone wants the end at the begining. Instant gratification is all todays people want. They can't concentrate for long.
Aliens Directors Cut, Alien 3 Assembly Cut are worth watching, less so Alien 3 because of the disastrous production, but it does have parts where it's good. Alien 4 is only good to watch if you feel like watching a really weird/dumb take on alien, it feels more like a highly produced B movie than anything that came before. Personally I like them all for different reasons but it's clear the first two movies are the best ones.
"tis but a scratch!" OMG a "Monty Python and The Holy Grail" joke!
I thought boil the face hugger to make lunch was brilliant but a Python reference is next level!

The trouble with having Jones on board is that he'd kill all the space mice that could have been used to scare the space elephants.
This is my all-time favorite movie, since I saw it in the theater in 1979, so I'm always watching reactions to it. I have to say I've laughed more during yours than anybody else's. Thank you for that, and thank you for reacting to this film.

"I wonder if the alien is edible", whoa never saw that one coming ! That said, I guess the acid blood should make its flesh quite spicy !
The best Truckers in Space film made..."In space, no one listens to Ripley".
20:05 😂 somebody watched Monty Python

fun Fact, to make the outside elevator of the Nostromo look bigger, they used 3 children in spacesuits instead of 3 full sized adults
"No cats were hurt in making this movie"
36:20 "I don't get it. Why did she try to cancel the destruction?"
Because she could not get into the shuttle.

And I better not mention to you just how many people working for the Empire actually died in the destruction of the Death Star. Fortunately, the security standards in the Rebel Alliance were different and you had enough room in scape pods for crew and passengers, the only thing that could prevent you from saving yourself is that when on the run some debris fall onto you, that's on Mon Calamari cruisers and Nebulon-B Frigates.
If in the future when intergalagtical traveling is possible . This movie should be in their school curriculum material to teach what not to do when you are going to poke other planets.
This is the weirdest peek a boo i have ever witnessed 😊😊😊😊😊Brilliant love it. Penny you are fantastic...more reactions please
So, regarding the other movies:
*Aliens:* Special Edition, please. The added 20 minutes are not padding; they add significant character development and tension. But either way, it's AWESOME.
*Alien 3:* Special Edition/Assembly Cut only. The theatrical cut was badly compromised by studio suit interference. The SE makes a lot more sense and just works better.
*Alien: Resurrection:* This movie does not exist, nor will it ever exist.
*Prometheus:* Opinions vary. I love it. A worthy prequel/opening for the series.
*Alien: Covenant:* Again, opinions vary. But it's a solid film which explores some corners of the universe we haven't seen before. It also incorporates ideas from some unused screenplays, like William Gibson's Alien 3.
*The AvP Movies:* Nah. Not great. And if you do, watch the Predator movies first.
I concur. Special Edition is the one to watch.
Penny! You just gave the alien derelict ship a name. ‘The Forbidden Doughnut’ and it’s cargo of ‘forbidden omelets’. ‘Forbidden sausage?! Perfect reaction to watch for breakfast. Nice catch of Lambert being a lousy navigator for the voyage home and through the air vents! I remember my first impression of the film, my first Ridley Scott film. For me, because the film took its time, like it was filmed in ‘real time’, of all things, I felt it was like a documentary film! Of all the other films in the franchise, watch AlienS!
So many forbidden things, and they touched them all 😒 they clearly didn't watch any horror movie during one of their long space trips! I'll definitely check out the sequel, so many people have been recommending it!
to the crewman: Congratulations, it was a...weirdo!
Rubber Doctor is the best name for Ash I've ever heard.
He's a man of many nicknames, my favorite is "The Milkman"
You have two of the best sequels ever made to do now.. Terminator 2 (1991) and Aliens (1986) :)
Predator (1987) and Predator 2 (1990) are also excellent
If you want a suggestion unrelated to the above movies.. then I suggest The Thing (1982)
Ripley tried to cancel the countdown because her passageway to the shuttle was blocked by the alien. The ship has two shuttles that should be able to take all of the crew, but one of the shuttles was damaged. Both ejecting Kane's corpse into space and the ship having a cat are callbacks to naval traditions (burial at sea etc.)
Cheers!
Not spoiling ANYTHING about the next one. But its one of the best movie sequels of all time, right up there with Terminator 2, Empire Strikes Back, and Star Trek 2 The Wrath of Khan.
The other ones are more action focused, I prefer this one.
Only this film in the entire series can really be rated as a 10. But I also recommend watching Prometheus. The film has a series of flaws and inconsistencies, but I consider it on my list of essential films.
You're actually right. They really used chicken parts to create the egg, amongst other practical items/effects in that egg scene. Feel free to look it up.
no, but they used oysters for the facehugger
Kitty is the MVP.
Great reaction!!!!! Can't wait for more!!!
Great review, Penny. Half the time I was admiring your speech. Your english is very good. It means you are very intelligent. For sure you need to watch the sequel "Aliens." It is arguably the greatest sequel in cinema history! Ciao.
First Off
Ripley is Legend
Alien is forever
Second
.... you Hot AF 🔥
Aliens is next 💯
don't listen to what people say about the 3rd (Alien III)
it's worth watching
but after that yeah .... not so much
wait until you're well equipped for prometheus
subd
Stay Awesome ⭐️
At least the cat is safe
Here are my ratings out of ten for the Alien series:
Alien 8/10
Aliens 8/10
Alien 3 6/10
Alien Resurrection 6/10
Alien v Predator 7/10
Aliens v Predator 4/10
Prometheus 8/10
Alien: Covenant 5/10
Alien: Romulus Haven’t seen it
Unless you love the Alien movies, I’d stop at Aliens.
A great reaction! Although, as a glutton I have to say that the words "forbidden" and "donut" should never be together in the same sentence...😉
I feel like donuts are absolutely allowed 99.9% of the times, but I'll keep that 0.01% of doubt about alien donuts...then who knows, maybe they are tasty! I think the Alien probably tastes like squid!
@@PennyisWatchingI think you're on to something, Penny. The next time I go to Dunkin Donuts, I'm going to ask them to fill it with calamari...
The sequel, “Aliens” is a great follow-up, more action, but like the Terminator franchise, after the initial sequel the additional follow-ups are inferior movie. However, I understand that the latest Alien movie in the franchise is better . . . but I haven’t seen it.
Penny, I have to admit it, you truly remind me of The Baroness from the “GI Joe” cartoon/comic book/toy franchise, which should be received a great compliment to you . . . because it really is. Upon hearing that you always wanted to use a flamethrower, well, it really confirms it . . . you may be the living embodiment of that character. 😂
Nah, you make a better Starfleet Officer than Cobra Agent. Ciao! 😉👍
I've been told I look like the Baroness a lot of times! And also Bayonetta (she's the protagonist of a videogame, if it's not a hobby of yours), Morticia Addams, Tina Fey, a young Cher, Nana Visitor...I guess I look like a lot of people 😂
@@PennyisWatching It’s a good thing that all of your doppelgängers are known for being exceedingly attractive! BTW, in regard to the Predator franchise, which as you mention is in the same pretend Universe as “Alien”, has its highs (Arnold’s original film and, I’ll die on this Hill, the immediate sequel) and lows (most of the rest), the latest Predator film, called “Prey”, is magnificent and equal to the original “Predator” film. Just saying just in case you haven’t seen “Prey”.
Looking forward to your future posts!!! 😉👍
Part II 😁 Many reactions wonder about the leaking water rain stuff!!?? Depending on what kind of machine you can have heavy condensation drip or enough humidity can reach air saturation point and rain from the air! ☮️
4:43 If you work for a cheap company the easiest way to get out of something is to say it's going to cost money. Oh sure I'd love to come in to work on Saturday but it's going to put me into overtime pay.
Great reaction. Hilarious. You would make a fine space ship captain… and I could listen to your accent all day. Now you should watch “Aliens”… and “Robocop”.
I have a comically bad sense of direction, so I'd need a good navigator! Someone better than the one in Alien 😂
@@PennyisWatching I think your sense of direction would lead you to the most obvious choice: “The hell out of here. Immediately… and no passengers with squid attached to their face allowed.”
A Italian youngster is boarding the "Nostromo." What will she make of this "old, long, slow-moving, character-centered, no-DFX" movie? 3:56 The Company is sending the equivalent of a freighter crew to "do science" on an unexplored planet! 10:06 The Space Jockey, a mystery for decades.
they dont have their bill nye science badges i guess
1:17 - there's nothing sadder than an abandoned sheep.
I could watch Penny all night. Nice candid reaction.🥰
Yes, the inside of the alien spaceship looks like ribs. It was designed by H. R. Giger. He did a lot of artwork with biomechanical themes. He also designed the Alien. You should check his stuff out.
Weird fact: I was familiar with some of Giger's works before watching this movie, because he made the album covers for two albums I love: "To Mega Therion" by Celtic Frost, but most importantly "Heartwork" by Carcass!
He's also quoted as inspiration for so many weird and quirky videogames, that I went checking his art before!
@@PennyisWatching Yeah, he's an interesting guy. I think his first album cover is Emerson, Lake and Palmer; Brain Salad Surgery. Anyway, he made the Alien and designed that ship. Good stuff.
The latest one, Romulus, is pretty good. They used practical effects like the old ones (for the most part)
Nerd moment: since Romulus was the home planet of the Romulans in Star Trek, imagine a movie where the Enterprise encounters the Alien
The "action" film you are thinking about is the next one, called "Aliens", the sequel from 1986, directed by James Cameron. See it.
James Cameron, who wrote and directed Terminator, wrote and directed the sequel Aliens. So it’s more action oriented, more like Terminator. Which Ridley Scott films have you seen? Alien, Blade Runner, and Gladiator are probably my favorites of his. He’s excellent at world building in his films. As far as which Alien movies are good, I’d probably just stick with the first two. I can watch 3, but usually I get bored watching it. The ones after that aren’t good at all imo.
Ooooh I definitely wanna watch it then, didn't realize it was directed by Cameron! I judged him all wrong because of Titanic (which was technically extremely well made, but definitely not my genre...to many kisses, not enough explosions) but after watching Terminator I want to catch up with his movies!
@@PennyisWatching I forgot to mention in my comment, if you’re going to watch Aliens then I recommend you watch the directors cut!
41:22 "The robot doctor said it's impossible to kill them."
No, he didn't.
He said that these humans could not kill this alien, here, in their spaceship.
True, he only said "you can't" which was unclear.
Anything alive can be killed.
Suffocate it, freeze it, poison it, crush it to a gooey stain on the floor, incinerate it to ash, shoot it with a few assault rifles, blow it up with dynamite, drop it in a blast furnace, run over it with a bullet train, toss it into a black hole, or a million other things should kill it.
Some are easier than others, of course.
The problem isn't that they are impossible to kill.
The problem is that anything these few people might do would make it bleed acid, melt the ship, whoosh all the air into space, and blow them out into space too, and everybody dies.
In their exact situation, they had no way to kill the alien AND survive the consequences.
Great film. The Sequel's pretty good too. Many will tell you Alien 3 is bad, but the Assembly Cut version is great. Recommend all the first 3. The fourth movie is OK, buy not essential.
Part IV 😂🤣😭 This is the best day!! You are cracking me up!! Hope it's not too late to say when you watch the second one,, watch the extended directors cut!! Also keep in as much of the funny dialogue as possible for ( non revealing) example a guy says to a lady: " Have you been mistaken for a man"?? This movie is loaded!! Ok I have to Subscribe! You are precious! ☮️
Love Alien Isolation!
It was a little too long imo, at some point it really overstayed its welcome for me! But I prefer horror games in which you can go around and make a mess with the monsters, so it's my fault 😂
Forbidden donut!!! Forevermore it shall be 😸
Viva Italia!!!! I love Georgia Meloni. My Father’s family is from Frosinone, and my wife’s from Isola Di Ponza.
😂 "They want to get paid for the longguh/ napppuh/"!! I Love 💕 It!! First time visiting! I normally give a bad comment for talking constantly but yourah ackkuh centuh is very VERY adorabile!! Great Reaction!! 5 days late to the party 🥳🎉 Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
This is the first time I've seen your channel and I hit the subscription button after the whole chicken breast thing, which I will now be referring to face huggers as.
😆 never thought of making an omelette with the alien eggs 😆.
Watch Aliens (the second film), and watch The Exorcist.!!
enjoyed your reaction 👍☺
Great reaction. Let me add to the crowd - "Aliens" is next.
Can't wait for your reaction to THE EXORCIST! It's the film reaction I search for the most.
You're funny Penny! New subber.
This reaction is quite different from usual reactions, captivating.
I always wanted to use a flamethrower. A girl after my own heart
Well, that was fun, a smart, entertaining reaction.
All the Alien films are worth watching, I'm not a big fan of Alien 3, Prometheus or Covenant but they are good films.
Aliens, the special edition is the most interesting version imo.
Alien Resurection (4) Is just a fun ride, don't expect great things but it is worth watching. (The alien effects are pretty good.)
I don't want dinner tonight anyways. lol
It was a lie, I'm always hungry!
These are space truckers, apparently not members of a union, and of course interested in the pay. At least the officers have some responsibility, but even on commercial officer pay I'd not be going to the great unknown.
However good the film looks today it was done on a shoestring budget. They were using the cheapest tricks in filmmaking, and just rocked the looks.
In order 2 respect d whole Alien franchise timeline I would advise to watch Prometheus first which is more focused on d Space jockey backstory u know. Anyway enjoyed yr reaction video keep it up.
When you watch Aliens make sure it's the special edition. When this film was made people had better attention spans. Now everyone wants the end at the begining. Instant gratification is all todays people want. They can't concentrate for long.
Make sure you have dinner before watching Aliens 😊
I guess she doesn’t like the cornbread either….
Aliens Directors Cut, Alien 3 Assembly Cut are worth watching, less so Alien 3 because of the disastrous production, but it does have parts where it's good. Alien 4 is only good to watch if you feel like watching a really weird/dumb take on alien, it feels more like a highly produced B movie than anything that came before. Personally I like them all for different reasons but it's clear the first two movies are the best ones.
