It sounds like a good one! 'We're the real evil/monsters' is actually one of my fav themes ever, so I'll probably enjoy this. It's been an Age since I watched the first movies, and by the time I get around to watching this I will have forgotten any spoilers (thank you, mushy brain! lol). I'll add Prey to my list as well because that looks fun. Youngest is a big horror fan, might be time to introduce her to SF horror?
Oooo if the youngest hasn't seen these but loves horror in general, def. time to dust them off for a home cinema viewing. I saw Alien when I was 13, which we could argue was an example of bad parenting, but I'd say it's one of the best forms of resilience training I've had 🤣 I'm hanging out for the Blu-ray release; Romulus was one of the few movies I've seen where I immediately wanted to re-watch it (Blade Runner 2049 would be the other one from recent times).
Started watching this but stopped, because I'm waiting for it to come to the small screen before I watch, though I'm definitely interested, and didn't want to possibly spoil. But I will say of what I saw so far, best production value of the vids so far. You're definitely ramping up the quality - nicely done. And 100% agreed.. I've seen *all* th Alien movies including all of the AvP movies, and for my money, there have been only 2 true entries to the franchise before this one, lol.
This is 💯% on my must-own pile, I just can't buy the Blu-ray yet (hence why it's missing from the pile 🤣). Thanks for the comments on quality, honestly it was watching one of your videos from about two weeks ago that gave me some of the inspiration for the structure and format! I wonder if the people who agree Alien[|s] are the best two would be the same ones who feel Han was best when he shot first 🤣
@@parrydigm Hah almost certainly! And we're all over the age of 40 lol. BTW, would like to see you give a similar treatment to the movie Prey, 2022's Predator movie with Amber Midthunder, which for my money was the best installment in *that* franchise since the original. :) You're taking requests now right?
Aw thank you 🙂 I first saw Alien[|s] when I was a zygote and loved them for the spectacle, but there was 100% something deeper I grew to love with each rewatch (and I dust them off about annually). Even though the alien in the first movie is a dude in a rubber suit, it's still one of the most horrific movies out there, it's aged super well and IMO because of the themes, not just the spectacle 🙂
It's too bad this movie is much like The Force Awakens as in The Force wicans now it's pretty much scoffed at. This movie has a beautiful look to it but it's not scary that Haley and monster itself is very weak and doesn't do much at all and the whole movie is a greatest hits with dialogue and scenes stolen from all the other movies including Prometheus. Just give us a true sequel to aliens and make it like top gun Maverick
I'd be interested in another take on the Aliens formula - tbh I've been scratching that itch with Aliens: Fireteam Elite which is like having that movie in videogame form 🙂

Great points! Appreciated the insights on what made Alien and Aliens great, definitely learned something
