The shot of that person floating in no gravity surrounded by Alien acid blood looks epic. Dude, i can't wait for this film.
That scene is a blast! Hope you enjoy in August!
The tension in just that tidbit of a scene is insane. Fede is amazing at building tension.
@jamiefugazi6974 from what I've seen he was absolutely allowed the brutality. I can't wait to see the super gruesome, totally disgusting, Isabella Merced scene. It looks like she's the one floating toward the acid
Can't wait to see this on the big screen. Really appreciate that the trailers are not revealing too much. I want the shock and awe to happen while I am in the theater with my eyes glued to the screen. This will be such an awesome film. Appreciate your commentary on it too.
I wonder how he got the connection to see an early screening. Probably knows someone or works in the film industry
I say in the video that I helped in marketing.
Hope you have a great time in the theater in August!!
@@jamiefugazi6974 I’ll be ranking it closer to release once I see the final version with finished effects. It’s not fair to judge the version I saw.
I've got a feeling the trailer is really making you get the feels of Alien and then Aliens, but there is going to be some totally mad shit that happens that will drive the Alien Lore way forward.
I think Fede will rock the Alien franchise. Only weak little haters are saying it's going to suck.
That giant rock/meteorite is the xenomorph from Alien 1. Guarantee it. Just managed to cocoon itself.
Time will tell!
@@MikesMonsters lol you didn’t say no 😉 can I ask how you’ve seen the film though? Did you work on it etc
@@ShamelessSmith I helped with the marketing.
@@MikesMonsters class. Defo checking it out in IMAX on day 1. Probably see it again the day after.
@@ShamelessSmith hope you enjoy come August! I’m stoked to see it again but this time on the big screen and with an amped up crowd!
Great job! Thank you for your contribution to the film and your respect by not spoiling. I cant wait!
I tried to give a little bit of info while keeping it spoiler free! Thank you! Hope you enjoy in August!!!
I like Sci-Fi Alien films but I have to say the saving graces for this movie was that it has a Great director whose is a fan of the franchise as well. So plot holes were covered well.
Believable backstory of third world blue collar workers trying to escape their unfortunate situation which they were born into.
The other saving graces was the outstanding practical effects, plot set pieces and Visuals. 👍🏼
OUTSTANDING scene when they showed the Alien exiting from it’s cocoon.
Negatives are that it felt rushed. No breathing space or high low rhythms like in Aliens, so to speak. Where characters plan or strategies during some down time in a safe room. This film should be at least 2 hours 15 mins long.
It needs less callback lines and MORE horror elements with suspense.
Insufficient cast and too predictable on who would die onboard. Would be great if they had bumped into another group of scavengers while they were in Romulus.
Acid zero gravity scene was good and creative but lacks realism when there wasn’t even any minor burns from all those acid floating around.
The creature in the last scene should look more horrific and threatening than simply looking weird.
One very important element which I found insufficient from the cast other than Kay was actual FEAR. Notice that Sigourney Weaver as a heroic female shows visceral fear when facing an Alien.
Thanks for not spoiling anything . You are a true fan and gentleman
I tried my best to give little bits of info without giving anything away. Glad I achieved that. 🫡
He gave away a bunch of stuff
@@rogerpowers3891 okay!
This movie is seeming to be the perfect Alien Sci-Fi Horror film. I am absolutely loving the creature and set designs so far.
It's definitely a fun one!
Really cool that you spoke to Fede Alvarez. So excited to see the movie !
It was a cool time chatting with him! I hope you enjoy come August!
@@MikesMonsters That's great to hear. Thank you.
I adore this franchise, not just the first 2 Alien films. Each Alien movie adds something new and fresh to the lore! Can't wait to see this one
I love the whole franchise too, even if I have issues with some. Hope you enjoy when you get to see the film!
I REALLY wanted to see some type of sinister working Joes, just like Alien isolation . Maybe they couldve been guarding securty of the ship
I love how you give loads of info away without giving loads of info away if that makes sense?
That was the goal! Glad I accomplished it! Thank you for watching!
Great video that does a perfect job of adding little tidbits without spoiling. In this horrible culture we live in of leakers and clickbait videos it is really refreshing to have someone fighting to preserve the integrity of the filmmakers and helping the audience go in with as much surprise as possible. With the info you know, you could easily post a breakdown vid and make your channel and subscribers go through the roof, but kudos for being the better person and not going down a road i'm sure many others in your position would have done without hesitation. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for saying that! I indeed could spill the beans on everything if I so pleased, but that would only benefit me and steal the experience away from many others. That's not a cool thing to do. I truly respect the art of filmmaking and the idea that some things should be left secret until you're seeing the thing with your own eyes.
It can't feel good having someone spoil all the surprises before you get to share the final version of whatever you're making. It's like someone interupting a joke you're telling and skipping right to the punchline, or someone in the audience yelling out the conclusion during a presentation you're giving. Or even like the joke in the Simpsons when Homer ruins the Darth Vader reveal to the line of folks waiting to see Empire!
Thank you so much for sharing this comment!
I look forward to the scene where they get chased by dozens of facehuggers as shown in the teaser trailer. Hopefully it is as thrilling as we expect it to be, if not more so.
That's a pretty gnarly scene!
Superbly handled 🙏🏻
Thank you so much!
This movie looks like it will be great! And I've enjoyed Alvarez's previous films. I only have one reservation. And I know you can't answer and I don't blame you but I really hope this doesn't mess with the "mythology" established in the first two films (kinda like the Scott prequels did. If this movie messes with the prequels mythology, I don't care since they did it first). In other words I kinda hope this is a stand alone movie instead totally trying to link with the first two movies, to the point where it tries to alter the stories of those films. It won't change those films for me but it might taint my experience with this movie. I just have this theory, I won't say what, but this movie will try to reconcile some "discrepancies" between Alien and Aliens (among other things). I hope I'm off and just overthinking what is, basically, a good old fashioned monster movie. Regardless the movie will still likely be killer and probably be the best Alien film since Aliens (fingers crossed)
Love how detailed yet discreet about the movie this video is. I truly appreciate that!
That was the goal! Thank you for watching!!!
What is great about the trailer is that he gives you some, but not all. Just a tip of the iceberg, but the larger part is hidden underneath. I’m liking what I see so far. Love the practical effects.
The trailer was so well cut. Loved it!
I’m curious what Andy is doing with the black goo? (Or what appears to be as such in that container) I could certainly be wrong but I think when his eyes roll back and he “reboots” he’s actually getting hacked or downloaded with stuff from Weyland-Yutani; and then goes on to grab the goo for the company or something. Either way this is my most anticipated movie of the year!
You'll find out in August!
Can't wait to see it the at ze pictures, I thought the trailer was great but it was the Q&A with Fede (by himself on stage) that allowed me to actually get excited! Looks like it could actually be the best since Aliens...🤞
Wouldn't it be fun if that floating rock has the Alien from the first movie attached to it 😁
That would certainly be something!
@@frankthecat1660 perfect comment.
@@frankthecat1660 exactly, and we saw how that went.. 😁
Not attached but fossilized inside of it
LONG SHOT BUT: ORIGAE 6?!?
Could the ringed planet they’re terraforming, atmospheric processing and then leaving in the ship at the beginning of the trailer for the Renaissance Station be: ORIGAE 6?
Certainly a long shot!
@@MikesMonsters Yes sir…I know THX for the reply but one can dream..I just would really love a resolution to the AC cliffhanger..
Great video just curious is that a seegson atmosphere prosseser at the start the company from alien isolation
I don't believe it is Seegson, but more likely WY. Thanks for watching!
I pretty much got all the info from alien theory, but your video made it all so much clearer. 😊
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!!!
Oh boi, my excitement for this film is immeasurable.
I hope you enjoy it!!!
9:18 curious choice of words. "Waking up for the first time".
We all wake up for the first time at some point!
Hey Mike! I've been scanning over your comments on AvP Galaxy lately and really enjoying your comments and enthusiasm for the movie.
Can't wait to see it when it shows up on disc. I don't think I'll be seeing it in the cinema, as it just looks too tense for me to get through in an uninterrupted sitting. But good gawd, it looks TERRIFIC!
Really appreciate your thought on other RUclipsrs having only incomplete information on the movie as well. I've seen some extraordinarily desperate clickbait nonsense cropping up on RUclips about this film.
I appreciate you watching! Thank you!
I understand the desire to wait for the home release, but don’t write off the cinema experience completely! You’ll be able to share the terror with a packed theater and hear them all scream with you! But maybe “No One Can Hear You Scream” because the terror will be so petrifying! 😉
I’m trying to keep it informative, while being spoiler light! Lots of the other channels out there who haven’t seen more than the trailers are going off very light descriptions with not much context for sure.
Great breakdown. VID SPOILERS:

Andy looks like he's holding some 'black goo' vials?! Wow. Um... yah. I need to know more about this... or is it just setting up for a sequel? The 'meteorite' going through the red laser reminds me of one of the gestation pods when a mogwai becomes a gremlin. Like the shot of her shooting the Xeno... looks to have the dog legs like Isolation. Acid in 0g? Oh, nice! "...just like ALIEN3." Oh! so... someone might be gestating a queen? So many questions... August 16th cant get here soon enough.
You’ll find out about all these questions in August!!! 😎
Just a simple. Thank you. Great breakdown....I am super excited.
Glad it was insightful! Thank you for watching!
I love how you are saying a lot without saying a lot 😂
I did my best to give a little bit of info without spoiling anything!
Terrific breakdown, Mike!
Couple of questions for you, based on your comments and info here and on the AVP Galaxy forum.
1. When we see Big Chap, does he/she still look the same as in the original film?
2. Does the film feel like a remake of the first two films, or does it have a nice balance of new and old?
3. Last question... but is that shot of the Xeno at the end with Spaney, a practical effect or CG enhanced? Thanks man! I loved the trailer too.
I recommend you re-watch his vid. He answers all your questions there.
@@LAZ-org I don't remember him answering those questions in a specific way though. He mentions the final shot, doesn't mention whether it's practical or CG enhanced. He mentions Big Chap, but doesn't mention if it looks identical to how it looked before (Damage aside of course). I think he sort of answers question 2 though.
@@Dude-oh8vq 1. He emphasizes this is NOT the Big Chap (unfortunately). 2. He says it has elements from both first films. 3. The creatures are practical and it's awesome!
@@LAZ-org You haven't read his previous posts on YT and the AVP Galaxy forum. He states that big chap IS in the film, but that it won't be shown in the marketing, at least not at this point. He even hints to Big Chap being in that cocoon in this trailer, based on his past comments. Your response isn't answering my questions though. If he wants to reply, he will, or won't. No big deal.
Thanks for watching!! Won’t answer some of these questions, sorry!
The film had a great balance, and the last shot is all practical.
amazing channel
Thank you so much!!!
Looks awesome and I can’t wait till August
Hope you enjoy when you finally get to see!!!
@@MikesMonsters thanks you as well
This is me and my writers mind thinking, but I would love to see a scene reminiscent of Event Horizon, a classic, where , Callie and her friends are in the lab and Andy finds the video logs of the experiments and diary and it evolves from experiments to chaos.
You'll definitely find out how that all plays out in August. 😎
The space rock coming to the station is looks like… well in my opinion is big Chap cocooned itself in space, and that’s how WY captured it !!
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. You'll find out in August!
@MikesMonsters I've just had this idea, if indeed this turned to be big chap cocooned after being thrown to Space by Ripley; the producers of the upcoming movie might took this idea from the canceled movie of Neill Blomkamp which was based on the idea of WY capturing the Alien Queen after also being thrown into space by Ripley, offcourse that movie would've decannonized Alien 3 and Resurrection since it was suppose to show Ripley and Hicks alive and the events of Alien 3 is just bad dream Ripley had on going back to earth safely
This is going to be an epic ride for sure. Just have to mute the spoilers that people throw on here.
Dodging spoilers will be difficult for sure. God speed!
I think Ripley's daughter is in this one. The timeline makes sense.
🤔
thought the same hahah they could include Amanda here or also even Ripley as they did w Out of the shadows but thats impossible so i would bet for Amanda
I dont get how the Xenomorph's fingers are folded and need to be uncurled if they are extended over the creatures dome in the coccon. I can only assume the hands appear first then retract over the dome to tear itsel free?
You'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out!
At one point I did think they might be its feet, but you specifically referred to them as hands in the video, and having seen the film i assume you know, so I'm intrigued now, and focussing on minute details... I'll just have to book a few tickets, one to take in the plot & spectacle and then go back and start obsessing over tiny details.
@@steveflatman There may or may not be feet in the shot that I chose not to bring up. :)
I feel like even that Scott is a producer, fed is taken more from aliens then alien .
It's definitely a mix of both for sure.
9:24 “This is not Big Chap. He is not in any of these trailers.”
I guess I’m taking that to mean that he is in the movie just not shown in any trailers.
Maybe, maybe not!
One question man, pls, is it as good as the first two alien movies?😟😢
Edit: or is it even better? I’m interested in your opinion.
I’m holding what I thought of it all until I’m able to see the final film with finished effects and all. I don’t think it would be fair to judge just yet.
@@MikesMonsters ok🥲
This has me worried. At first I got really excited and then after watching the trailer about 5 times now. It looks too much like a shot for shot remake of the greatest hits.
There’s more to it than the homage shots, but I understand the thought!
That's just clever marketing and entirely intentional. They know that everyone loved the first two movies (and Alien 3 had some cool moments) so they're giving (most) people exactly what they want in the trailer to get them onboard. This is only a fraction of the movie, and I'm sure it will add its own unique contribution to the franchise, we just don't know exactly what yet, and that's why we're watching.
Answer me this, did they at least get the pulse rifle sound correct? So many games except for colonial Marines got it wrong. Alien versus predator from 1999 got it right, so did the other aliens versus predator from 2010 however they only have one pitch tone and that same tone as repeated when you hold down the firing button.
But in colonial Marines they have five different tones of the pulse rifle like in the actual film, I thought that was a nice touch.
I can't say exactly because when I saw it there were temporary sound effects and music. So I don't know if they changed the sound or not and won't until I see the final version.
WHAT only 2k subscribers? Bro? You deliver like you have 2 mill? I'm stoked. Caught your channel other week and it was a super long in depth video on something alien related lol. Just check i subscribed which i did the other week..keep it up
I really appreciate that! I'm still a new/small channel, but definitely trying to put out quality content over quantity! I am glad to have you here, thanks for subscribing!
Yes, there are a lot of reminders from older Alien films, atmosphere, visual elements etc, but the actors are without charisma, not even close to the first two films, even the third and fourth Alien are stratospheric (I won't even mention Covenant and Prometheus), the actors look like a bunch of faceless teenagers, that's the first impression of the movie after watching the trailer. But well, we should watch the whole movie and then give a conclusion.
Luckily these kids are all actually in their 20’s and not teens. Nor do they act like them in the movie. Definitely watch the whole film to form the conclusion. 👍🏻
I'm making the new alien movie, its in between aliens 2 and 3, we find the queen in space and reverse engineer it
Make it happen!
Looks like the final shot might be the end of the movie. She draws it to the air lock but this time they both go out into space... maybe 🤷♂️
I can confirm it is not the end of the movie and that's not what happens! 😎
@@MikesMonsters Excellent! So, a slightly original ending this time compared to what we've already seen?
@@Dude-oh8vq it’s something else for sure! It was pretty wild.
Oh good 👍
August cant come soon enough 😭💔💔💔
It'll be here before we know it!
@@MikesMonsters i hope so! i kept thinking about this movie everyday 😭
I was interdouduced to your channel from the neca feral predator rewiew and i havent watched your vids in a while contrasts on 2k
It’s been a crazy journey! Thanks for being here since then!!!
@@MikesMonsters thanks for being a great channel
YA YA YA YA YA YA YA
Hell yeeeeah!
Out of curiosity, who was your favorite character from what you saw 😗
I really dug Andy and Rain.
Polaroid!
Indeed!
the man, who already have seen it. can you tell how much do you like the vfx? i think you are the one who like it most, because you saw it in a rough version.
The effects weren’t done, so I can’t say 100%. The practical stuff looked great, but they hadn’t removed wires or rods for puppets yet. So I cannot give a full opinion, but overall, are very well done.
@@MikesMonsters thank you for the quick answer.
@@MikesMonsters second question: why do you have not muuuuch more clicks? you channel is awesome!
@@karlheinz3152 Haha, I appreciate that! I'm still pretty small here and don't make a ton of videos to churn content out. So that's probably why. But I am definitely growing a lot here!!
I can’t be the only one who was confused by the aggressive face hugger and the guy in the water. I mean, am I supposed to be grossed out? Or am I a little turned on by it? 🏳️🌈
Top tier comment right here!!!
I absolutely cannot believe that anyone is anticipating what will be the biggest flop of the Alien films. Children who look like they just escaped the game room in their parents basements. In Alien: Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, there was a lot of depth to the characters and plot. It was deep enough to stir your imagination, wondering what direction the next movie will flow. After seeing the trailer, I remembered Jaws, Jaws 2, Jaws 3D, and then what? The Italian masterpiece, and jewel in the crown of the Jaws movies, CRUEL JAWS!!! Of course, it was not to be taken as part of the franchise, though it did stumble repeatedly into sequel territory. Honestly, when I saw that they were going into other religious in Prometheus, and finding commonalities, I was intrigued. It's not that I ascribe to more than one of them, but it is that I am aware of the Sumerian flood story, and a parallel narrative to Judaism. The recurrent themes caused me to wonder what an "angel" would look like. Not the variety that looks like the archetypal "Cupid" and has a red fanny, but a preexistent created race of beings. With the word for "Heaven" being "The expanse" or space in Hebrew (one of three meanings for the English word), it caused me to wonder exactly what a self willed (fallen) race might look like. Would they be technologically advanced? Being from "the expanse", or space, they landed on Mt. Herman in Genesis, and 200 of these being took wives of humans as they pleased. OK, so the actress in Prometheus asks, "If you made us, then why did you change your mind?", and she is attacked. The real question was, "Were these preexistent beings aligned with the creator or not? Was she speaking with the right group, or were these the fallen ones, coming back to destroy the earth? So many well devised questions to be answered. Even the role of Artificial Intelligence, and the question, "Can it be good?", when it is a reflection of its fallen and non-redeemed creators. David: "Let me ponder this, you are seeking your creator and I am looking at mine. You will die, and I will not"....get me some tea, David. To answer all of these questions, we have CRUEL JAWS!!! OK, the letdown is so extreme, that the chance I will watch this one, is ZERO. If you have a low IQ and are easy to please, please comment.
So you’ve seen the movie and know all this to be fact?
Mike you're a hypocrite, you release a video telling people not to spoil the movie yet this whole video you've done the same.
If you say so!
Oh yeah… you didn’t spoiled anything.
You are a hypocrite sir.
Okay!
True, NDA has been violated for sure.
@@alexandernoskov60 nope! My NDA covered something else!
@@MikesMonstersThat was sarcasm, all good. I mean entering internet you can't stay spoiler free.
@@alexandernoskov60 haha, sorry! Hard to read sarcasm in text.
Hey man I appreciate your video and thanks for what you did give us. Really looking forward to seeing this.
I appreciate you watching! Thank you! I hope you enjoy when you get the chance to see it!
Omgggg so happy i stumbled across you. You confirmed so much without confirming what ive been going crazy about lol
Happy to have you here! Thanks for watching!
No spoilers, I get it, but what can you tell about Cailee Spaeny as a lead?
That she is the main character!
Dope Video!! Can’t wait for the movie!!!
Thank you! Hope you enjoy when you get to see it!!!
The colony world looks amazing, extremely immersive and believable, almost a bit Bladerunner 2049-like. Do you know what the budget was of this movie, because it doesn’t look like an expense was spared. Sets look amazing, effects look amazing, and the zero gravity scenes look fantastic.
I have no knowledge of the plot at all, this is just a speculative theory - I’m wondering if Andy’s “update” alters his programming and perhaps his “priorities are rescinded”?
I'm not sure the budget actually, but it all looked top tier when I saw the rough cuts. I won't say what happens with Andy's update, other than it was very interesting!
Ripleys cryo pod is on the station?
No, because she's asleep with Jonesy for many more years on the Narcissus.
HAVE YOU SEEN IT??? How? When? Wow, you lucky bast.. guy
I said in the video how and when!
