They wanted to get Jonesy because they have machines that track heat/movement. Having the cat run loose means they'll keep picking up the cat instead of just the alien. And the Alien looks good because it's all practical effects. She was trying to stop the ship from exploding because the alien blocks her from getting to the other ship, (or it was in it already), so she had to backtrack. The water in the pod is coolant.
I think IQ's dropped sharply in the last 20 years. Before that, everyone understood immediately, upon first watch of the movie, why Ripley had to turn back and stop the self-destruct. It couldn't be more obvious. Modern audiences need subtitles and a for-special-kids type of plot to understand anything.
@@maegalodonuswe should be so lucky to have cognitive functions not requiring the use of a phone. I watched this movie all the time in my teen years along with its sequels love every one of them. Theres still new things i learn just from the backgrounds
"It was good", "It was better than I thought it was going to be." I'm wondering why you didn't expect it to be a top-tier classic, since Alien is a cultural phenomenon that inspired and was copied by sci-fi thrillers from 1979 onwards. It's still talked about in film studies classes, the lead character Ripley is a feminist icon of the GenX generation, when so many female roles were damsels in distress or just window dressing, Ripley was the smartest, most effective member and leader of the crew, which was unheard of back then. There are few, if any, better sci-fi thrillers than Alien, and that's not even going into the filmmaking, which is remarkable for it's age, the special effects, production design and cinematography are works of art.
****PLEASE watch the extended version of Aliens, it has important info, about Ripley, and possibly the future of the franchise. If you already watched Aliens, look for the deleted scenes before your reactions
Watching you fail to grasp this movie is like watching a toddler fail at a shape sorter toy. Except at least the toddler has the excuse that his brain is still developing.
The reason for going after the cat is that it showed up on their little radar thing. If they don't catch him when it acts up again on the radar thing they don't know if it's him or not again.
What made this movie "special" when it was released, is it was not only very good at tension building, but in a world with no CGI and where the only other "space" movies was the original star wars, this was technologically advanced for it's time. Imagine doing the effects they did with no CGI and when computers were so basic and rare and computer games consisted of dots on a screen. It blew people away. In today's world where CGI rules, it's sometimes easy to overlook what the special effects people might've had to do to pull off some of these scenes when it didn't exist.
Ripley's nose was bleeding due to a failed attempt to expel the creature into space. It's a deleted scene that happens as follows: Parker spots the creature while going to refuel the flamethrowers. He tells Ripley to slowly open the airlock doors, but an alarm goes off, startling the alien. As the airlock door slid shut, one of the alien's appendages is caught in the door, shearing it off. The acid caused a critical depressurization in the airlock, resulting in Ripley's nosebleed. Hope that helps!
Alien is quite intentionally laced with subliminal sexual cues, they aren’t merely your imagination. Once you are looking for them, they seem to show up almost everywhere. The art director was Swiss surrealist, H.R. Giger (RIP). Google his name and the term, ‘Necronomicon’ to see his art in detailed printed form. The latent sexual imagery serves a purpose in Giger’s art, so also in the film. Which is that it increases the human fear response to the horror. Sexual arousal and fear both greatly stimulate the autonomic nervous system. One increases the other. Director Scott utilizes that to good effect in the movie.
45:45 She went back to turn off the self-distruct because the Alien was in the corridor leading to the escape vehicle, with the alien there she couldn't escape and therefore she would blow up with the ship
Ripley is trying to stop the countdown because the alien is blocking the way to the shuttle. Not sure why you didn't understand it, it's pretty obvious. 😆 Now react to the sequel Aliens and please choose the Special Edition director's cut version this time for the second one. You already missed some scenes in the first one by not watching the director's cut of the first movie like Ripley and Parker running towards Brett as the alien grabbed him, Ripley discovering the alien's nest, the alien knocks Jonesy's cage and more.
You two should really start watching some of the older classic movies...yes sometimes you will come across some bad special effects but for the most part, it's the story from the older movies that really make them great. Some other franchise to start, Terminator (actually, any Arnold flick from the 80's) , The Thing, Back to the Future, Blade Runner.
Ripley tried to stop the ship from exploding when she saw the Alien near the excape pod. As you see, she was too late and had to make a dash for it. Watch Aliens next. Its worth it!
If, or when, you watch Aliens, be sure to watch the Special Edition. The added scenes are outstanding, and add depth to the characters and their motivations. It also includes a couple of scenes which get really tense.
I was so creeped out seeing this movie for the first time, too, back then as a kid in the late 90s. I thought it was the scary version of Star Wars. Lol! 😆😱👽☠️
This movie started a sci-fi trope nicknamed 'space truckers' characterized as a dirty, gritty, more realistic, work-a-day trades person's perspective of futurism.
Yep, and anyone who ever played the computer video game Starcraft that came out in 1998 noticed the use of the 'space truckers' theme in the opening sequence to the movie.
The literal answer to "Where is the light in the egg chamber coming from?" is the stage across the lot where they filmed Alien (the famous Pinewood Studios in the UK) where The Who was setting up for a concert and Ridley Scott borrowed lights from their show. If you watch the sequel, ALIENS which you most definitely should, watch the Special Edition over the theatrical cut.

No their mission was to bring the Iron Ore back to Earth from the planet they got it from. The company sent a message toother[the ship computer] to go ahead and go to the planet. So mother changed their course and woke them up. Only ones who knew about the Alien at first was mother, Ashe , and the company that's why they changed out science officers 56:0056:00
If only Ripley had stopped the destruct sequence in time, then found the Alien on the escape ship, she could have launched the ship and stay on the main ship, gone back to sleep and got back to Earth in a reasonable amount of time, thereby stopping the chain of events causing all the other films. Of course the only drawback to that would have been an escape pod with an alien on it that would have been encountered eventually, but then it wouldn't have been Ripley's problem.
Now that you’ve seen This movie, watch if you haven’t already the First Indiana Jones, and the First Star Wars movie BEFORE watching the parody movie “Space Balls” (otherwise spoilers)
Thank you so much for starting with the first movie. If (moving forward) you go by year of release, with Alien and Predator franchises, everything will make sense. And there won’t be any spoilers
This is a myth. They knew the script and knew the alien would be coming out of his chest. They just didn’t know how that was going to be done or what it would look like.
It won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects! It made $200 million dollars against a $10-11 million dollar budget.

When Ripley left the cat in the corridor, the alien had already been in the shuttle and Ripley leaving it there made the alien turn itself around because they understand themselves and the alien thinks that is the cat's corridor to hunt.
You two are new to Alien 1979. Your in for a treat. Yes! Mother is an AI. A ship computer. When the alien comes in. The fun will begin. Welcome to LV426. A planet with no indigenous life on it. By the way! Ash is Android.
You have to pay a fee to skip credits at the beginning . Star Wars knew it and said screw it, how much is the fee? we'll just pay it. I guess Alien didn't think the fee was worth it
Finally someone agrees with me on that theory. You wife said it evolved I was clapping yes. It's like Pokémon it has different evolutions. It's final form is the biggest and the strongest version of this Alien.
Why did Ripley come back to try and stop the detonation? Well because the Alien was blocking her access to the Shuttle. I would have thought that was obvious as the film makes it clear. But apparently not 🙄 Other than that 😀 great fun from your reaction
Two young viewers are boarding the "Nostromo." What will these moderns make of this "old, long, slow-moving, character-centered. no-DFX" movie? 5:43 The Company is sending the equivalent of a freighter crew to "do science" on an unexplored planet! 9:15 Canny viewers saw Ash's "calisthenics" as suspect. 12:47 The Space Jockey, a mystery for decades. 15:15 Second Officer Kane = Zapp Brannigan. 16:30 How's that for a jump scare? 17:00 This conversation has become iconic due to recent events. 17:52 The Face Hugger, grossing out audiences for years. 19:02 This why they can't just "cut it off him." 22:29 A Props department work of ART, made of sea animals. 24:34 Kane's last meal. 25:33 The Xenomorph, scaring audiences for over 40 years. 26:20 Burial at sea, an old maritime tradition that spares next-of-kin the gruesome details. 28:40 Along came Jones. 31:20 Say hello to Bolaji Badejo. 33:02 How's that for a "syntax error"? 35:34 You're in command, Ripley. 37:25 In 1979, this was my "WTF? Ash ISN'T Human!?" moment. 39:07 Most didn't see this coming. 42:43 I've read that Lambert is standing in for us, the audience. 45:18 Escape route cut off, stop Destruct to gain time for Plan B. 46:48 Hold that thought for the next movie. 51:11 Tonight's entree on the shuttle "Narcissus" is Steamed Xenomorph in Shell. 51:58 Correction, Char-Broiled Xenomorph. This and the next movie made newcomer Sigourney Weaver a major movie star. "Jennifer Lawrence"? Who is that?
As a cat person, id go for the cat. Wouldnf matter if it were dangerous. I could never leave any life behind, except the alien! If i die, so be it. If i lived and left anything behind to die i couldnt live with that esp to save my own ass.
welcome to the Alien universe,...hope you get to see Romulus, you should watch these first alien movies, before seeing it,..and loved how you were attuned to the sounds, the sound of the ship, it's funny, when you see this movie, how the sounds are as much, like you said not so much sound effects, but just the mundane sound of the ship, is in in of itself part of the suspense, and keeps you on edge, when Brett is searching for the cat, the heart beat, and the structural sound of the ship, as its hurtling through space,..its not quite quiet enough for you to, as a human be on alert to your surroundings,..like in a creepy old house, and someone's after you, and you listen for footsteps, and hear the floor boards creak behind you,..there was no complete quiet, for you to be on alert,.you only had your eyes,..tactile, sense of smell,..it's unnerving,..I truly think Ridley Scott may have been influenced by Hitchcock,..you can apply the same logic of being distracted by an underlying sound, to not hear someone coming up on you, like Janet Leigh in Psycho, when she's in the shower, water spraying out of the shower head, noisy,..doesn't even hear when Anthony Perkins enters the bathroom, not until he's there attacking,....do keep going, Aliens is a tour de force,.another masterpiece, do enjoy, Godspeed, Peace ✌
I almost had to stop the video, what’s up with the fake British accents out of nowhere? Couldn’t take your dialogue serious, cuz I was getting too distracted. 😮
Holy cow.... wait what's going on? wait what is he going to do? This movie is a masterpiece but it's not that complicated.... you guys seemed really confused😮
@@jrzygurl Totally. I always like finding new _Alien_ reactions since I enjoy the movie very much - it's probably the 1st adult sci-fi/horror I ever watched as a kid. Sth similar happened a few weeks ago where the reaction I thought would be good turned out to be sub-par, but then I found out this cool guy ( www.youtube.com/@RynooReacts ) who decided to do reactions to all the Alien films. I would def recommend his reactions.
I feel like the ability to follow a slow-build, character driven story has been lost and not just in this reaction to Alien, but in several I've watched. I agree that they appear to have missed some pretty obvious beats and events that I followed just fine as a 14 year old when this movie came out. In an instant-info, constant stimulation world storytelling has certainly changed. It was evident from the very beginning question they asked - where are the people, what's taking so long.
@@Blaize24 Seconded as well! I think I was a year younger when I saw _Alien_ but even scared witless, haha, I understood what was going on! The 70s horror/sci-fi/thriller trifecta in particular seems to be a bane to some reactors. Like, how would they react or even manage to watch _Coma_ or _China Syndrome_ or _Conversation_ , you name it? Or when there is complete lack of knowledge about a particular actor - I hope I don't sound too rude, but I remember watching one reaction where the person casually mentioned having no knowledge of Kurt Russell or his filmography, it just took me out of the reaction, almost viscerally.
Guys, I don't see a Haunting of Hill House (or any of the Mike Flanagan'verse shows) on your list. Have you guys seen that yet? If not, I think you will both love it. Please give Haunting of Hill House a shot, if you have not seen it yet.
Now you have to watch the greatest sci-fi action film ever made or will ever be made, James Camerons Aliens. You have to watch the Special Edition. You can forget any of the sequels after Aliens. Youll be so invested in the story and the characters from Aliens, the events of Alien 3 may ruin the whole saga for you
You're not paying attention.She can't go to the smallest ship because the alien's blocking her way.That's why she brand into it.Did you not see that so now?She's trying to turn off the destruct system.Because you can't get to the little ship

I just cannot believe you actually blurred one of the most iconic scenes in movie history - the creature erupting from Kane's stomach. Did you think it was too scary for people to view?
@@FanPops Oh really? But I've seen several first time viewers watching this particular film and no one ever blurred the most iconic moments. Oh well, it was your choice of course.
Guys I have requested you more than 10 times yo watch RRR. Just watch first 20 mins. After that you'll not be able yo stop yourself to watch entire movie in one sitting. Please...don't procrastinate. It is the best entertainment stuff ever captured on camera. It is totally worth your time and effort.
My only gripe with the film is the alien only on screen for like 5 minutes... and the lack of detail on the kills. Too many close ups... and off screen kills. But this film NAILS TERROR... and the creature design was unbelievable. And to filmmakers making crap today....THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A FEMALE PROTAGONIST. in todays movies....theyd have ripley punch the alien to death or something
You wouldn't see much of the alien on a dark dank cargo ship. And when you see it in full it's clearly a dude in a suit. The way it's done is perfect. And there are lots of ways to have a female protagonist.
It nails the tension and terror BECAUSE is doesn't show kill details. Your imagination is far better at filling in the blanks than any filmmaker is, Spielberg did the same thing with Jaws.
As soon as you see a monster clearly the terror goes away. Your imagination will always make it more scary than whatever it actually is. Of course, imagination isn't a thing that gets very developed any longer because everything is shown most of the time.
My favorite movie series i watched envy youtube reaction maker. Have u done reactions long? I must say its not good. The idea is to pick out your Key scenes from your full length and post enough here so a new person is able to follow along. You missed a lot. U also got to play longer ones.For this reason I have to give you a DISLIKE. I want you to watch reactions to thei movie by EOM, DEVIN G and Dasha Reactions.. They will teach you how to make a good reactions.. Now if you are going on with the series Do PROMETHEUS next. I tell everyone this but no ones listens, then do ALIENS. No theses guy are just space truckers hauling ore. Thats why they made bad decisions. So Prometheus gives u good prequel and then Aliens. Following Aliens then do next move ALIEN COVENANT is the sequel to Prometheus. As far as like Alien 3, Alien Resurrection, dont bother with they are junk. OK
The second one will blow your minds 🔥🤘🔥Fun 70's Fact😅::Segourny was the original female badass..she was so hairy for the underwear scene at the end production practically demanded she shave and she completely refused 🖕(the 70's😅)..it took them WEEKS in post-production to edit out her bikini line...cost tens of thousands of dollars..they were PISSED..😂🤘🔥

CGI will never replace practical effects. This movie is the GOAT for sci fi horror. A true masterpiece
The alien was by the entrance to the escape pod. That’s why she was trying to stop the detonation. To give her time to get rid of it.
@@JTMason001 it's beyond annoying when two people like this are so clueless as to what is going on
Ash being an Android is one of the greatest reveals in cinematic history.
YESSSS I've debated this with so many people
@@JessieDee13 Seconded!
They wanted to get Jonesy because they have machines that track heat/movement. Having the cat run loose means they'll keep picking up the cat instead of just the alien.

Alien is my favorite movie of all time. I’m SO happy you guys are doing it. 😊
The tag line for the movie in its original marketing:
"In space, no one can hear you scream."
Very fitting.

47:10 with the coolant systems turned off for the self-distruction, the ship is overheating producing the flames.
When they refer to "water of the alien, it is actually its saliva

great reaction! please watch the sequel. specifically the director’s cut.
Egg > Chest-Burster> Baby> Fully Grown Xenomorph
Great reactions! Now just imaging in the theater in 1979! It was crazy!
Don't forget to get the "special edition/extented cut" for its sequel ALIENS which is even better and is as scary and stressful than the 1st one ;)
When Ripley left the cat in the corridor, the alien had already been in the shuttle and Ripley leaving it there made the alien turn itself around because they understand themselves and the alien thinks that is the cat's corridor to hunt.
Make sure you watch the special edition/assembly cut of Alien 3 when you get around to it. It’s way better than the theatrical version.
Ok, Aliens Director's Cut next and then you're good, no others after that.
You two are new to Alien 1979. Your in for a treat. Yes! Mother is an AI. A ship computer. When the alien comes in. The fun will begin. Welcome to LV426. A planet with no indigenous life on it. By the way! Ash is Android.

What will these moderns make of this "old, long, slow-moving, character-centered. no-DFX" movie? 5:43 The Company is sending the equivalent of a freighter crew to "do science" on an unexplored planet! 9:15 Canny viewers saw Ash's "calisthenics" as suspect. 12:47 The Space Jockey, a mystery for decades. 15:15 Second Officer Kane = Zapp Brannigan. 16:30 How's that for a jump scare? 17:00 This conversation has become iconic due to recent events. 17:52 The Face Hugger, grossing out audiences for years. 19:02 This why they can't just "cut it off him." 22:29 A Props department work of ART, made of sea animals. 24:34 Kane's last meal. 25:33 The Xenomorph, scaring audiences for over 40 years. 26:20 Burial at sea, an old maritime tradition that spares next-of-kin the gruesome details. 28:40 Along came Jones. 31:20 Say hello to Bolaji Badejo. 33:02 How's that for a "syntax error"? 35:34 You're in command, Ripley. 37:25 In 1979, this was my "WTF? Ash ISN'T Human!?" moment. 39:07 Most didn't see this coming. 42:43 I've read that Lambert is standing in for us, the audience. 45:18 Escape route cut off, stop Destruct to gain time for Plan B. 46:48 Hold that thought for the next movie. 51:11 Tonight's entree on the shuttle "Narcissus" is Steamed Xenomorph in Shell. 51:58 Correction, Char-Broiled Xenomorph. This and the next movie made newcomer Sigourney Weaver a major movie star. "Jennifer Lawrence"? Who is that?
As a cat person, id go for the cat. Wouldnf matter if it were dangerous. I could never leave any life behind, except the alien! If i die, so be it. If i lived and left anything behind to die i couldnt live with that esp to save my own ass.
welcome to the Alien universe,...hope you get to see Romulus, you should watch these first alien movies, before seeing it,..and loved how you were attuned to the sounds, the sound of the ship, it's funny, when you see this movie, how the sounds are as much, like you said not so much sound effects, but just the mundane sound of the ship, is in in of itself part of the suspense, and keeps you on edge, when Brett is searching for the cat, the heart beat, and the structural sound of the ship, as its hurtling through space,..its not quite quiet enough for you to, as a human be on alert to your surroundings,..like in a creepy old house, and someone's after you, and you listen for footsteps, and hear the floor boards creak behind you,..there was no complete quiet, for you to be on alert,.you only had your eyes,..tactile, sense of smell,..it's unnerving,..I truly think Ridley Scott may have been influenced by Hitchcock,..you can apply the same logic of being distracted by an underlying sound, to not hear someone coming up on you, like Janet Leigh in Psycho, when she's in the shower, water spraying out of the shower head, noisy,..doesn't even hear when Anthony Perkins enters the bathroom, not until he's there attacking,....do keep going, Aliens is a tour de force,.another masterpiece, do enjoy, Godspeed, Peace ✌
cannot wait for u watch ALIENS, and then ALIEN VS PREDATOR !!
I almost had to stop the video, what’s up with the fake British accents out of nowhere? Couldn’t take your dialogue serious, cuz I was getting too distracted. 😮
Zathura is a Jumanji sequel
To be fair, Zathura was traumatizing as a child.. I was genuinely scared of the lizard aliens
The Alien isn’t full of water. It’s blood is acid. It just drools a lot lol
35:35. One of the best reactions on RUclips! 😂
Holy cow.... wait what's going on? wait what is he going to do? This movie is a masterpiece but it's not that complicated.... you guys seemed really confused😮
Seconded. The jump-scare reactions were fine, but the confusion overall was .... well, confusing. And what was with the mock British accent??
@@mariopenavic8573 I know,right?,,, so wierd... I wish these folks good luck but they're really going to have to step up their game
@@jrzygurl Totally. I always like finding new _Alien_ reactions since I enjoy the movie very much - it's probably the 1st adult sci-fi/horror I ever watched as a kid. Sth similar happened a few weeks ago where the reaction I thought would be good turned out to be sub-par, but then I found out this cool guy ( www.youtube.com/@RynooReacts ) who decided to do reactions to all the Alien films. I would def recommend his reactions.
I feel like the ability to follow a slow-build, character driven story has been lost and not just in this reaction to Alien, but in several I've watched. I agree that they appear to have missed some pretty obvious beats and events that I followed just fine as a 14 year old when this movie came out. In an instant-info, constant stimulation world storytelling has certainly changed. It was evident from the very beginning question they asked - where are the people, what's taking so long.
@@Blaize24 Seconded as well! I think I was a year younger when I saw _Alien_ but even scared witless, haha, I understood what was going on! The 70s horror/sci-fi/thriller trifecta in particular seems to be a bane to some reactors. Like, how would they react or even manage to watch _Coma_ or _China Syndrome_ or _Conversation_ , you name it?
Or when there is complete lack of knowledge about a particular actor - I hope I don't sound too rude, but I remember watching one reaction where the person casually mentioned having no knowledge of Kurt Russell or his filmography, it just took me out of the reaction, almost viscerally.
Guys, I don't see a Haunting of Hill House (or any of the Mike Flanagan'verse shows) on your list. Have you guys seen that yet? If not, I think you will both love it. Please give Haunting of Hill House a shot, if you have not seen it yet.
Now you have to watch the greatest sci-fi action film ever made or will ever be made, James Camerons Aliens. You have to watch the Special Edition. You can forget any of the sequels after Aliens. Youll be so invested in the story and the characters from Aliens, the events of Alien 3 may ruin the whole saga for you
Jonesy is the real hero!!
You're not paying attention.She can't go to the smallest ship because the alien's blocking her way.That's why she brand into it.Did you not see that so now?She's trying to turn off the destruct system.Because you can't get to the little ship

Wait till aliens (1986) it doesn't get better after that.
Watch The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Amazing movie
I just cannot believe you actually blurred one of the most iconic scenes in movie history - the creature erupting from Kane's stomach. Did you think it was too scary for people to view?
It’s to avoid issues with copyright
@@FanPops Oh really? But I've seen several first time viewers watching this particular film and no one ever blurred the most iconic moments. Oh well, it was your choice of course.
@@FanPops copyright? nah its been shown a million times before.
@@VinterfridRUclips guidelines. Certain things, I think.
It's called Chestburster cause it erupts from the chest. It didn't burst from the stomach, saying that makes it sound someone had a bad meal lol
35:34 ahahah
Prometheus is my favorite it is connected to alien: covenant yall should react to it when yall get there! 💗
Watch all of them, and the New one coming Alien Romulus!👽👽
Guys I have requested you more than 10 times yo watch RRR.
Just watch first 20 mins.
After that you'll not be able yo stop yourself to watch entire movie in one sitting.
Please...don't procrastinate.
It is the best entertainment stuff ever captured on camera.
It is totally worth your time and effort.
There is no water on the little ship.I don't know what you're hearing, but it's not water and it's not full of water either.That's incorrect
The cryopods put their bodies in stasis. Time freezes for them. They do not require the bathroom.
Watch the 2nd Alien movie, it's worth it
Love to c u guys react to CRASH.
Storyline wise no, I believe this is the second movie. The prequel that starts it all is Prometheus (2014 I think)
Can you react to Amelia’s Children its kinda a funny movie
In Space, No One Can Hear You Scream.
Yes, great tag line for the movie, if I remember correctly, even the trailer won some awards for it's time.
So excited for alien Romulus
Awesome reaction love it and you both
GAH IM SO STOKED FOR THIS!
My only gripe with the film is the alien only on screen for like 5 minutes... and the lack of detail on the kills. Too many close ups... and off screen kills. But this film NAILS TERROR... and the creature design was unbelievable. And to filmmakers making crap today....THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A FEMALE PROTAGONIST. in todays movies....theyd have ripley punch the alien to death or something
You wouldn't see much of the alien on a dark dank cargo ship. And when you see it in full it's clearly a dude in a suit.
The way it's done is perfect.
And there are lots of ways to have a female protagonist.
It nails the tension and terror BECAUSE is doesn't show kill details. Your imagination is far better at filling in the blanks than any filmmaker is, Spielberg did the same thing with Jaws.
As soon as you see a monster clearly the terror goes away. Your imagination will always make it more scary than whatever it actually is. Of course, imagination isn't a thing that gets very developed any longer because everything is shown most of the time.
I love your videos so much Adam and Denise
Hi i love you guys so much you dont have to if you dont want to but if you can please react to carrie
Cannot wait to see your guys' reaction to Aliens...I think it is even better than this one
My favorite movie series i watched envy youtube reaction maker. Have u done reactions long? I must say its not good. The idea is to pick out your Key scenes from your full length and post enough here so a new person is able to follow along. You missed a lot. U also got to play longer ones.For this reason I have to give you a DISLIKE. I want you to watch reactions to thei movie by EOM, DEVIN G and Dasha Reactions.. They will teach you how to make a good reactions.. Now if you are going on with the series
Do PROMETHEUS next. I tell everyone this but no ones listens, then do ALIENS. No theses guy are just space truckers hauling ore. Thats why they made bad decisions. So Prometheus gives u good prequel and then Aliens. Following Aliens then do next move ALIEN COVENANT is the sequel to Prometheus. As far as like Alien 3, Alien Resurrection, dont bother with they are junk. OK
Avoid 3 it's awful it disrespects beloved characters.
The second one will blow your minds 🔥🤘🔥Fun 70's Fact😅::Segourny was the original female badass..she was so hairy for the underwear scene at the end production practically demanded she shave and she completely refused 🖕(the 70's😅)..it took them WEEKS in post-production to edit out her bikini line...cost tens of thousands of dollars..they were PISSED..😂🤘🔥
