ALIEN: RESURRECTION (1997) MOVIE REACTION - THIS WAS DIFFERENT! - FIRST TIME WATCHING - REVIEW
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Welcome to our first-time watching as we react to Alien: Resurrection (1997). This is the fourth installment of the iconic Alien franchise, where Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) is cloned and brought back to life two centuries after her death. As she faces a new breed of xenomorphs, the tension and horror escalate and takes us through an unforgettable ride.
From the dark, futuristic atmosphere to the incredible creature effects there are a lot of elements we enjoyed in this film. However it's far from our favorite in the franchise.
Loved seeing the stack cast interact with each other as they try to survive the Xenomorphs. Call (Winona Ryder), Johner (Ron Perlman) and more are extremely charismatic on screen.
The Newborn Alien was definitely not on our bingo cards! We are glad we watched this one. It definitely offered a different tone than what we are used to expect in an Alien film.

PLLLLEEEEASE PLEEEASSEE react to "Olympus has fallen"
If you guys have time could you watch camp Cretaceous season 1-5 and Jurassic world chaos theory
''is that wormtongue from lord of the rings''.........no, that's Mr Chucky T Doll himself from Childs Play. lmao
But yeah its him. Brad Douriff s king. His daughter is in the Chucky tv show and the last few movies too. These Douriffs be getting about. It would be cool to see you guys watch the childs play saga, its a hell of a fun ride.
i love your take at the end, its pretty bang on to how i think most people feel about this film. I'm curious now if after AvP2, you guys will go to Prometheus, and Alien Covenant before Romulus comes along.
Please react to "The usual suspects" and "The last samurai". You will love both.
Sigourney Weaver actually made that SHOT over her shoulder... And Purlman's reaction is REAL
yeah, i had just read about that. His reaction is price-less....
Perlman.
She did it on the second or third take (she'd trained with a basketball coach for a few weeks with this in mind) and it landed absolutely perfectly, nothing but net...Perlman was so stunned he broke character and yelled something like "FUCK YEAH!" which is why his reaction is cut short. It's one of the most amazing physical things I think I've ever seen an actor do on film.
On the FIRST TAKE
Hey you freaking millennials. I really love your channel. Here is the real uncut throw footage:
The lab scene with the clones is so haunting. Truly the stuffs of nigthmares.
Part of why I view this, and the previous, films as "Ripley's nightmares" (during hypersleep).
It is. I think there was a question of how many of those experiments there were - Ripley looks down at that double-square tattoo on her arm and we realize it is actually an "8."
Chicks! Am I right?
That was a terrific and emotional scene-but then it was followed up by the odd juxtaposition of a jokey remark by Perlman’s character that immediately cheapened the previous scene’s impact (the “waste of ammo” comment). I don’t dislike this film nearly as much as some people do. In fact, I find a lot to like in it. But my major problem with it is that its tone is totally schizophrenic.
So intense, so felt!!
That discovery that Ripley Eight's own blood was acid should have been the biggest shock of the film, but what's more horrifying is the fact that due to the genetic crossing, these Xenomorphs are actually _far more intelligent_ than the previous incarnation of the species.
In "Aliens" Ripley comments that the aliens don't f*ck each other over, in "Resurrection", once combined with human DNA, they f*ck each other over as part of the escape.
@@benhudson9790 Who can really say? Perhaps they also understood the concept of self-sacrifice, and the smaller one decided to let its broodmates kill it and was able to communicate that to them for the very purpose of escape. I believe the novelisation makes some mention of that. What's even scarier is that the novelisation mentions that these Xenomorphs can understand _WRITING._
@@Robert_Douglass Where can I find the novelization?
@@dancingwheels8494 Google Play Books
@@dancingwheels8494 Author is either Alan Dean Foster or A. C. Crispin
I like that all the Alien films are very different. No point trying to copy the first two 'cause nothing can beat them.
Alien Resurrection in my opinion is better then Alien 3
The irony that almost everyone misses is that the 2nd film IS copying the first.
Seriously - it's so close to being the same plot just cut up and changed slightly with a much more action oriented lean to the script vs the horror in the original.
Let me break it down for you just so you know I'm not just being hyperbolic:
Aliens = Alien
#1. Newt = Jones the cat.
#1a. Initial Newt scene is like an alien on the movement sensor = Initial movement sensor sweep of alien finds Jones, both almost end with Jones/Newt getting shocked/shot.
#1b. Ripley endangers Hicks and Bishop to go look for Newt = Ripley endangers Lambert and Parker to go look for Jones.
#2. Hudson = Lambert, both characters are basically an insert for the audiences fears.
#3. Burke = Ash, the conniving psychopathic, company centric operator.
#4. Atmosphere processor reactor = Nostromo engine reactor, both scripts push to the final encounter with the alien through the danger of the impending explosion of the reactor.
#5. Derelict space ship in Aliens special edition cut = derelict space ship in Alien.
#6. Message from Burke to LV-426 = Message from The Company to Ash.
#7. Stowaway alien queen on drop ship 2 = stowaway alien on Nostromo life pod.
#8. Final fight with alien queen ending with ejecting into space = final fight with alien ending with ejecting into space.
#9. Hicks = Parker, both are basically Ripley's love interest, Hicks is just a lot more obvious about it while Parker's attraction to her is masked by his passive aggressive behavior.
#10. Team commander Gorman dies in an air duct = Nostromo captain Dallas dies/gets abducted in an air duct (in the theatrical cut).
There is a scene which is even more egregious than those above, because it not only lifts the same visual/plot elements, but also lifts Jerry Goldsmith's score cue titled "The Recovery" wholesale from the Alien soundtrack as the background music for this scene in both cuts of Aliens.
The scene in question is when Ripley and Newt are making their way out of the atmosphere processor waiting for the elevator to arrive just prior to its explosion, and the xenomorph queen pokes its head around the corner.
At the exact moment the xenomorph queen appears the Goldsmith score cue plays.
In Alien the score cue plays when Ripley is on the way to the life pod/shuttle with Jones in tow before the Nostromo engine explodes, and the xenomorph appears causing Ripley to drop Jones and run back to the engine control room.
For time reference (H:M:S) the scenes in question happen at '01:37:24' in Alien Theatrical Cut, and at '02:18:35' in the Aliens Directors/Extended/Special Edition Cut.
@@mnomadvfx you can say that about every sequel.
They should of stopped, would anyone with a functional brain rewatch any them after Aliens?
@@mnomadvfxwrong...too long to cover all the bs, but they ditched everything but the main character and the Alien. It was a straight high temp action movie. And if you delve too deep, Aliens was incoherent and made very little sense. In fact, the plot was stupid.
FUN FACT: That backwards basketball ball shot was real and done on one take. The intention was for her to mime the action, and they would digitally insert the ball later. Sigourney said, "We'll let me try it at least once." So they did. Cameras rolling. She made the shot. 🏀 Then Ron Pearlman almost ruined the shot cause of his reaction. 😆 There's behind the scenes footage of the full shot.
Love that
bad ass :D
ruclips.net/video/a3u4uDwLzNI/видео.html
I _love_ that behind the scenes footage where you can hear Ron saying, _“I f#&__#3d__ up!”_ a couple seconds after he realized he broke character because of his reaction.
It wasn't one take. It was 35 attempts. It was the last attempt that they could make that day, and it was nearly ruined by Ron Perlman losing his shit.
As a 90s kid this was my first alien movie,so have a soft spot for this movie the aesthetic makes sense to me because most movies in the 90s looked and felt like that.
Same here
@@ajpacman wasn't till the Internet fully bloomed that I found it's a least favorite, but it's okay to each their own
90 kid too but Aliens is for me the best followed by first one
same
@@thedriver99 agree wholeheartedly
24:47 The reason why he called Earth a "shithole" is because in the extended / alternative version it is shown that the surface of Earth has become a wasteland.
I mean you can infer that.
Pitty they didn't watch the extended version
I always just thought it was a joke lol I remember everyone laughing at that part
@@sproductionsinc It is for the audience. But it also tells you something about the world of the film.
@@SubterrelProspector I was never sure about the ending. I think it was a destroyed Paris that they showed but I never knew if it was already like that before they came back or if it's like that because the space station they programmed to crash destroyed it.
I do appreciate how each movie of the Quadrilogy is of a different style/genre... but all Alien
Ohhh sht You right
I hate this movie but you make a fair point. I still hate it though. 😅
This is going to be pedantic, but the correct word for a series of four is "tetralogy" (tetra = four, logos = word). Pace illiterates at Fox who barbarously mix Greek and Latin in one word.
Tetralogy
Alien
Aliens
Alien 3
Alien resurrection

Alien covenant
Learn math please
The hosts DNA is not changed, Ripley's DNA is changed because she died while carrying the Queen and the cloneing process merges their DNA as there is very little left of Ripley and the Queen to clone from, they basically clone a hybrid
yep, Number 8 is another failed clone but in surface she looks like a success one
No, the host DNA has to change, otherwise cloning would get you just Ripley with no Queenburster. And it makes sense, if you think about it. Our immune systems would try to reject and attack any foreign tissue, so the Xenomorph must have some way to fool our bodies into thinking it belongs there. Modifying our DNA with a bit of its could accomplish that.
@@NSTro which would be the perfect clone then? I think 8 is the perfect one
@@royalecrafts6252 i think the idea was to get a pure queen alien, on the surface, it is. But as seen in the film, it still has a bit human in it. ripley is the same, mostly human with a pinch od alien. In a sense this means neither was a pure alien/human which they wanted.
These idiots can't wrap their heads around general concepts written for morons in theaters.
The scene where Ripley walks in to see all of the experiments in containers was the first time Sigourney saw those props. She wanted an authentic reaction
General Perez is one of my favorite parts of this film. He's a completely no nonsense straight man regarding the project of resurrecting the xenomorphs, but also has zero illusions about what they're making. First hint of a problem and it's everyone off the boat, no xenomorph is allowed to leave. While his death sucks, he's also given what I consider to be the best death by xenomorph ever with the lingering shot, slow realization, and the act of reaching back to pull out and look at his own brain.
I kinda wished they had shown the paper currency in a little closer detail. I also found it interesting that the United Systems has its own Congress😂
so the humanoid white xeno didnt see the alien queen as its mother,thats why it killed her. it saw ripley as its mother which is why it followed her to the ship
17:18 If you pay attention to Ripley's behaviour in this scene, you'll notice, that her movement is very similar to that of the xenomorphs. The way how she quickly "stands up" and looks down and the way how she grabs her neck is the same way how xenomorphs have done it in other movies.
I'm glad you have this opinion on controversial entries in a series. Many reactors just listen to the criticism and skip the entry, forgetting that it is still an entry in a "series" and so it is opinion to the plot and lore even if it is disliked. God job!
I don't consider it part of the lore, personally. I think many reactors will skip it (or delay their reactions indefinitely) because there are so many other movies and franchises to watch, and maybe they also think they won't get many views, which is a valid concern, whether that would be true or not in any particular case.
@@rbrtckis it up to you to decide what is or isn't lore?
@@enadegheeghaghe6369 For myself, yes, for others, no.
@@rbrtckYou might not like it but it's part of the lore. Saying otherwise is ignorant.
@@marco31 I do ignore these movies. I'm not ignorant of their existence, they're just not part of the story, in my view. Are you telling me what to think and how to view things? Maybe the government will make laws about that soon, telling us how to view and talk about everything, under the threat of punishment. Would you support that?
28:25 Poor Ripley Seven... But it's amazing the amount of detail that went into creating each of Ripley Eight's clone sisters. Ripley Seven even has chrome teeth like a Xenomorph.
I stay away from reactors that won't watch a movie because of negative comments. As movie reactors it's literally content for the channel so why not watch everything and form your own opinion. That's what makes a channel interesting and appealing to a larger audience. I appreciate your approach to giving everything a chance and being surprised one way or the other.
So many decades later... I'm still pissed for the pointless death of the "cool shooting guy" (named like this to avoid spoilers in the comment).
If they only made clear SOMEHOW that he was actually done for, it would have made sense as "noble sacrifice", but like this it looks more like a premature pointless suicide.
Agreed
All it would of took is if they made the injuries a bit more substantial, like if his face was hanging off and fully melted
The scene with the guy about to have a chest birth and is being forced to fight, charge, etc is pretty unique and cool.
This might be a controversial opinion but I think Prometheus SLAPS. You seem to like Alien lore and Prometheus gets into that big time and answers *some* important questions about the origin of the species. Even if you don't enjoy it, it is worth watching for what I believe is a MASTERCLASS performance by Michael Fassbender.
I agree I honestly loved Prometheus I felt it answered some questions I had regarding how the aliens came to be at least they give a snippet of what happened.
I’ve enjoyed the entire timeline and im so excited to see Romulus this week!
Promethus is NOT the "origin of the species"... the Xenomorph is the default bioweapon state of the Engineer's terraforming tool, the black goo. If activated. David does not "create" xenomorphs. He is a child who was playing with the keys to a gun cabinet full of loaded guns. Xenomorphs predate the events of Prometheus by millenia.
@@johannesbowers7467 that’s not the species I’m referring to - but I didn’t want to spoil the movie
Ah yes, the prequels, a masterclass in destroying your source material to tell a story about an android with a god complex.
Compelling!
Just like Alien³, I love this movie - it made such an impression on me back when I watched it on VHS in 99. The FX are awesome and I love the characters and humor in it. Another one that is criminally underrated.
100% AGREED!
Me too!! 💜💜
There is a deleted scene where Ripley is shown a picture of a girl and she remembers Newt
It's in the Special Edition.
That's in the other cut of the film.
I appreciate the classical literary work of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein that is present in all the Alien films, but especially more "in your face" in this film. If you read and are knowledgeable of the literary classics, you have a deeper understanding and appreciation for modern interpretations/adaptations we see in film today.
Call me crazy but I really like this movie!
WormTongue is Brad Dourif!! A true legend, he is Chucky from Child's Play. He was on Deadwood and Exorcist 3 and sooo many things!! A living legend!!
I loved this movie growing up, use to hold my breath during the swimming scene 😅💜💜
Incredibly fun lore trivia: Weyland-Yutani was bought out by Walmart during the time period of the movie. It's canon 😂
Waland-Martani?
The Special Edition has that added to the scene between Wren, Gediman and Ripley 8.
@@FilthTribeFTPFortunes of war.
That's actually hilarious
Oh that's why this movie is not canon to Alien TTRPG
One of the things I like about this movie is that, since they wanted to show how having some Xenomorph DNA merged with her own affects Ripley's character, they allow Sigourney Weaver to play to her full height (5'11"? 6"?) instead of using filming tricks to make her appear more of a "normal" female height.
5'11". Same height as Taylor Swift.
I liked that it gave the actor a different approach she got to play her character different.
If I remember correctly, there supposed to be a comic book where it was going to be a three-way crossover between alien, predator and Terminator that takes place after this movie
Possibly idk if it's directly tied in but yes ripley did fight off xeno-terminator hybrids along side predator.
AvPvT is one of the Dark Horse Comics. Very fun.
Hollywood wasn’t ready for Jean-Pierre Jeunet
And yet, he didn't write the script, he just directed the movie.
city of lost children was crazy
Hard to believe he directed Amelie right after this.
I don't know why many people hate this movie, I think it's very good, it has a certain bizarre tone at times and a certain author's style that makes it special and different from the previous ones.
@@javix2013 This was move Lovecraft than most films that claimed to be.
My first reaction after watching the Newborn-
"What the HELL is that ABOMINATION!?"
Btw the humanoid Xenomorph is called the Newborn and also love the movie❤
as a child I started having nightmares after the fourth film and with this humanoid alien
Lol I was the opposite, I was the kid that was very upset that it didn't survive
Jean-Pierre Jeunet was one of the directors of the City of Lost Children (french - 1995). Fantastic movie. Ron Perlman and Dominique Pinon were also in it. I love all of the Alien movies for different reasons. Love the change they did for Ripley. Love how Sigourney played it. Great cast in support. Fantastic production.
Alien 4 is what happens when you bring Jean-Pierre Jeunet, a french cult filmmaker, to direct a Alien movie written by Joss Whedon. Also plaqued by studios interference, but Jeunet still comes through (and brings some of his "regulars" like Ron Perlman to the production). I would strongly suggest to add at least Jeunet's most commercial (cult) movie "Amélie" to your reaction list. One of my favorite films to this day. Also... The original alien saga... Ridley Scott, James Cameron, David Fincher and Jean-Pierre Jeunet, what a list of world class directors...
Whedon wrote the initial script. It was changed so much he disavows it, and with good cause. You can find the origional if you look hard enough, and it is nothing like this. And only the French and a handful of wannabes would call Jeunet world class at anything except fart sniffing.
City of the Lost Children (La Cite des Enfants Perdus) is another Jeunet classic, and also stars Perlman and Dominique Pinon (or several of him, LOL). It is one of the few foreign films I watch with the English voice dub because there are such amazing sets and cinematography, you miss so much if you're distracted by the subtitles in this one.
*plagued
Plaqued is what happens to your teeth if you don't brush.
This one is one of my favorites of the series, a great cast, enjoyably bizarre, and creatively made
I agree. People prefer the first 2 movies, but I think they have very common stories. This movie is more original, I love the funny/unhealthy/strange ambiance, the actors, the characters. This movie is really great.
One thing I realised in watching this movie is that it's basically Joss Whedon's First Draft of the Firefly TV show. Seriously, go back and look at the crew. Mal, Jayne, River, all the characters from Firefly are sort-of there. You can see all the things that would evolve.
Firefly was amazing! I'm still salty it only got one season.
@@jaimicottrill2831, one day i really have to see that show. I have heard so many people praise it.
@@jaimicottrill2831 I know it's been 21(!) years, but I can still get randomly annoyed about the cancellation of Firefly.
That series could have been one of the best sci-fi series ever made, if it had gotten like five seasons. Even with less than a season it's still one of the GOATs though.
@@martins.4240 So true. I can still sit down and rewatch the one season.
Hopefully y’all watch Prometheus and then Alien Covenant, I think they are both very good extensions of the Alien franchise
Can't forget other great amazing actors in this Winona Ryder, Gary Dourdan, Brad Dourif, Michael Wincott, Leland Orser and so many great more
Dominique Pinon is great in this too
@@redjakOfficial oh yessssssssss most definitely that
Real shame what happened to Dourdan post CSI
@@madpaduk I have never watched CSI but will take a look see here soon
I hate that this film wasted so much potential. It felt like there was just enough storyline for Ripley, but nobody else. Having Brad Dourif for an Alien film and barely making use of him in a mad scientist role seems criminal. A 3+ hour cur of this movie might have given the supporting cast much more depth.
When in AvP you guys said you wanted to see the hybrid I immediately thought Ressurection was for you lol.
The xenomorph hybrid (included xenomorph Ripley) and the predalien from avp requiem are one of the most powerful monsters in the franchise. Truly gorgeous abominations.
Holy sh!t I just realised that’s Tuco Salamanca, Raymond Cruz. I did not notice this before
Yeah, I also now love him in Clear & Present Danger, The Rock, and an X-Files ep too, it's only re-watching 90s stuff after watching BrBa that I notice him and each time his acting is great in the small part back then!
OH FUCK YOU'RE RIGHT
The guy from training Day push your s*** in right? omg I completely forgot Ron perlman was in this and Winona Ryder I loved her klepto ass.
That was my reaction when i saw Breaking bad for the first time omg is the dude from Alien resurrection lol
@@carlos-hoeflich Oh man that way around must have been so cool! To see him in a bigger role and epic, wow!
I was a couple years shy of being old enough to watch the first Alien film in theaters, and while it's a classic, I've watched Resurrection more times than the first film. It just entertains me more.
Dude from Two Towers is also the guy who plays Chuckie in Childs Play
The brilliant Brad Dourif
@sandys1890 He was also in the original Dune movie.
He'll also make you cry with his performance in one flew over the cuckoos nest.
I liked him in Star Trek: Voyager too.
The Exorcist 3 (1988) - absolute peak-creepy Brad Dourif performance. Some of the best acting ever in a supernatural horror film.
Also very good in a 1-off guest appearance on Babylon 5 in the mid-90s.
Ripley grandchild give me the 1988 Pumpkinhead vibes
the impregnated passenger with glasses, was in Taken 1, 2 and 3, with Liam Neeson and Famke Janssens.
holy sht y'all ARE watching this one huh?
i have a soft spot for Resurrection, it's immediately not as serious, and it's more of an action sci fi with Aliens in the mix, but i think what it does right, it does it REALLY WELL, and what it doesn't or what feels a bit more whimsical, isn't too overwhelming and doesn't ruin the experience.
it's just a fun ride with more xenos :v
*edit*
funny enough, the director's cut adds some really needed ties to previous movies, including Ripley's memories of newt, her death on Fiorina, and even the fate of Weyland-Yutani (apparently got bought by walmart 🤣)
Well, they watched Alien 3 and this one's better than that movie.
The thing I've enjoyed about the Alien quadrilogy. Each entry is so unique in it's own way.
Prometheus and Alien: Covenant should be the next movies to watch. Both movies are before the events of Alien (1979)
Too bad they suck ass and ruined all the lore and consistencies of the originals
Those two are completely bullshit. They can watch them as a curiosity, but I wouldn't put it in the Alien anthology.
@@dsxz Indeed. Scott really should have his head washed for those. GI shower style.
dude those movies make Resurrection look like a near masterpiece.
Those two make Resurrection look like a phenomenal movie. It's ironic how the guy who started it all completely destroyed the lore of the franchise.
so glad you guys gotta chance to enjoy this movie. agreed there are some flaws with the film but the practical effects, set design, and score for sure make up for all that. i mean for a 90's sci fi it is a pretty awsome film. i never get tired of seeing the xenomorphs and how they move and hunt. thank you so much for the amazing reaction and hope you all have an amazing day. keep rocking 🤘
Ripley is gonna give birth to an egg on Earth and cause a whole hybrid Alien War.
Ripley was (in the plot) brought back because they couldn't get the xenomorph without the host, they tried several times as the one scene showed. But they would have killed off Ripley after retrieving the xenomorph imo, unless they already knew she was special. Well they should know if they touched her blood with anything.
Plot device, don't try to make it make sense. Even the first sequel was stupid on plot.
I simply adore this Movie. Got many Nightmares and some Time of Paranoia in my Childhood from it, but i still love it.
Getting forcibly pushed or sucked through a too-small hole is one of my worst nightmare ways to die. With that in mind, I did feel sorry for the infant.
Nigga, that is NOT an infant. 😮
38:38 "I'm okay. No, really. I feel good.". So even a host to a chestburster can experience false labour, huh? 😊🤣🤣
IMO, this is the sexiest Ripley. The way she carries herself not only projecting her height ( an ever 6'0" ), and just stares and watches, like an beast woman studying her prey. You don't have to know that she has super strength to know that she's capable of breaking you. And I'd be SO down for that. Sigourney
Ron Perlman makes any movie much better by just being in it.
They brought in Jeunet to make an Alien movie and they got an Alien movie made by Jeunet. I have a soft spot for it but with some tinkering it could have been great. I love the Jeunet "look" and direction.
sadly Resurection wasn't tinkered ...
The problem is that while that sounds cool and all, it doesn't mesh with a Joss Whedon script.
Point of fact it's almost comical how badly the directors artistic ambition and the actual script don't mix.
Like oil and water.
This one still scores very high on "fun", "acting" and "closet full of chekovs guns"
This was my first Alien movie that I saw in the cinema. The previous 3 I got to watch on vhs tapes and/or the local erm... pirating tv channel (back when there were almost to no regulations). So, in my heart, this holds an important spot and yes, as many have said so far, I think it's such an underrated movie. Glad that you got to watching it, cheers
the big mistake that these scientists made was keeping the Xenos more then 1 per cage
Perhaps some corporate cost cutting measures.
No, their mistake was their presumption that they were in any way different to previous attempts. Lack of hubris
Yes Sigourney Weaver even doubled as one of the rejected clones.... Ripley 7
Dont be sorry.... this is what EVERYONE watching that movie thought back then like "oh this is pretty good so far!..............wtf?"
6:55 Yes, Brad Dourif played Wormtongue in LOTR and he played Piter De Vries in Dune (1984). But his most iconic role was playing Charles Lee Ray/ Chuckie in the Child’s Play franchise.
He was amazing in Exorcist 3 as well.
I confess alien 3 and alien resurrection, actually, 2 of my favorite, I know they're not popular with most people who enjoy the alien franchise, but alien 3 was the first alien I saw, and I have to say I really enjoyed it.
LOL yes Denise, holding our breath with the characters squad!
i like it took ripley full circle asa whole in the end compared to the first film where she feared the xenomorph to having no fear and becoming like them and so much stronger too
"I'm the monster's mother" is the best line in any Alien film.
I think "I'm the monster's mother" as a line is certainly up there, but "Get away from her you BITCH!" has it beat hands down.
"Get away from her you b*tch" is still up there for me.
As for "monster's mother" like everything good in Resurection it was forever spoiled and tainted by this god awful mess of a third act.
Two things to realize about this movie...first a form of the alien finally makes it to Earth as Ripley hybrid and second..androids are named alphabetically in each movie, Ash, Bishop, Call, next is David.
I LOVE 3 and 4!
Unrelated. The French actor that played Viriess in the wheel chair is Dominique Pinon. He and Ron Pearlman are in an incredible film called "The City of Lost Children". Its excellent! I think you guys would really appreciate it.
A fantastic film. And unique.
Very underrated movie and visually fantastic
Just to let it be known if some don't know Sigourney Weaver actually made that basketball shot her self
The Facehuggers don't lay eggs...essentially they "are" the eggs. It places the genetic material into the host and the material uses the host's tissue to create the Xenomorph.
Yes it injects it using the throat.
The facehugger inserts a tube down the throat where it lays an embryo in the host's chest. The embryo matures and then forces it's way through the host's chest, "bursting" out. Read the books.
@@aaronmurphy9353 Then why are there different forms of Xenomorph?
@@Jimdluxit's depends on the host
@@aaronmurphy9353 That's not always the case. There are different rules depending on whose story you're reading.
After Scott's prequels, the common consensus is the facehugger injects an evolved form of that black goo pathogen that causes the host's genetic structure to reconfigure and the embryo is made from the newly adapted tissue. This is also why you can't remove an embryo. The genetic recombination acts as a type of cancer. Even upon successful removal, the host will get irreversibly sick and die.
You gotta now watch the Prometheus series, as these are origin stories for the Alien franchise.
YES! The most underrated of the Alien movies! I always view it as more of a comedy in the Alien universe than as opposed to the more scary earlier ones. I always enjoy it when i watch it!
When this came out in 1997, cloning was very controversial (and maybe still is) when Dolly the sheep was born the year before. It was an easy way to bring back Ripley.
"This was different" is a hilarious review.
When they find out that the girl is an android, the guy that was in the mobile chair says "you're second gen, aren't you"? is an easter egg. The same actor says the same line in the original Bladerunner to the 2 androids (Roy and Chris) that come to his house.
@TheMediaKnights, I actually liked the baby thing. She didn't kill it right off, because she felt love for him. He killed the Queen, because he had genetic memories himself, and understood she was something to be reviled, but he loved his "grandmother." She knew he had no place in the world, so to speak, because he could not be free without being caught and experimented on, so, even tho she felt his love for her, and felt his pain as he died, she knew she had to do it. Then she cried about losing him, about having to kill him. What kind of life could he have had, even as a "good" hybrid, perhaps equal parts of both species? He didn't deserve to be part of that horrible experiment, and didn't deserve to die. Memories aside, he was innocent. He only killed a couple evil people, and obeyed Ripley-clone. All this is why I actually cried with her when she killed him, and him screaming out her name, not understanding why the one person he loved would end him like that. Truly a tragic creature.
I saw this in the theatre, and that horrible death scene made some people flee the room gagging. Me and my best friend were in tears. To this day, as far as we are concerned, this movie is a family tragedy. And Denise, I would definitely boop that upturned nose. 😂
You just validated kid-me.❤❤😭😭
I absolutely loved the baby and that whole scene always upset me. My parents thought it was so funny that I felt so strongly about a character I was supposed to be afraid of. But monsters, aliens and creature -features were my favorite things ❤ and yes, even as a child I saw that creature as innocent and tragic, thank you SO MUCH😭😭
This is my favorite Alien movie!!! Winnona Ryder is soooo good as the android.
In my personal opinion this one is very underrated!
No matter what Brad Dourif is in I just can't help but hear Chucky.
This movie is one of my top favorite in this entire franchise
Sigourney Weaver actually made that basketball shot!!
She’s such a legend ❤️
Depending on who you listen to, she either pulled it off on the first take or she took fifty takes and eventually they just had her toss it over her shoulder and they dropped another basketball into the net from off-camera.
@@Robert_Douglass I JUST watched something the other day with the director and cast members saying she did it first take. 🤷🏽♂️
Sure buddy@@Robert_Douglass
There's an extended version of this movie showed them landing on the post apocalyptic Earth landscape with Call and Ripley sitting down for a conversation. It's a far better ending than the theatrical version imo. Alien fans should really seek out an excellent fan edit called Alien Rebirth that felt closer in tone with the first two movies and yes, including regaining memories of Newt you two mentioned.
Is it here on RUclips? Or is it on _(shudder)_ Rumble?
@@Robert_Douglass are you referring to the extended cut or the fan edit? The extended cut can be found on the Blu-ray while the fan edit can be found and requested from some sites (hint: the word that RUclips hates starting with "red" and ends with "dit".) I don't think it's possible for anyone to upload any Alien movies on YT due to copyright.
Couple of things:
Christie goes limp from the acid, and it is believed this is at least one way the aliens can subdue you for impregnation (in the script for Aliens they used the stinger on their tail to paralyse hosts.)
When Purvis goes on his little rampage before chest bursting, it is again believed the alien is actually taking over and using him like a meat robot. (As a defense mechanism.)
It is rumored that the newborn alien has dialogue as it is dying. Something along the lines of "Why mommy?"
Definitely not the high watermark of the series. Full of some really goofy humor and ugh... When you compare it to the criss-craft of the first two films and the sense of class that those movies have, Alien Resurrection is a joke.
On the flip side, you guys should watch Firefly and Serenity. To me, Alien Resurrection is, in a number of ways, Joss Whedon's prototype for that show. It's even said in the same (rough_ time frame from "today"
It wasn't "Why, Mommy?". It was "Ripley!"
on the third point you opened a new world to me... now when I see that scene again I will always hear "why mom" and it will be even more disturbing!😰😰😰
For Purvis, I think it was just the adrenaline rush.
That actually makes me even MORE sad than that scene usually makes me feel. I always assumed it was a sound effect that I was mishearing as potential dialogue.
Thanks, I hate it 😭💔
@@Robert_Douglass in mycopy with subtitles they read it saying "oh no!"
And Ripley gets her happy ending, she deserves it.
I don't know about "happy" given the Earth she left was looking a lot better than the one she came back to.
@@mnomadvfx It doesn't look so bad,.
@@MrLorenzovanmatterho Watch the Special Edition. Ripley and Call actually land on Earth and it is completely destroyed.
@@kurtrivero368 I have, Paris is in ruins but that's just one city
I genuinely like this movie a lot because I saw it on cable quite a bit.
Oh yeahhhhhhhh know ya'll both happy to see Ron Perlman in this one. One of three of us favorite actors
Say what you want but this movie looks awesome and the practical effects are out of this world! Also this movie gets under my skin so much 😅 the vibe, music, that horrifying albino alien thing idk creeps me out for real
💪🙏 Guys, when you get to ALIEN COVENANT, (which is the most recent Alien movie) see PROMETHEUS first, which is the prequel.
i would say Prometheus is the prequel from all Alien movies, besides the AvP thing
Prometeus Is awfull and Covenant absoluta garbage. I hope they never watch that shit.
Good tip. Loved Prometheus and have an appreciation for Covenant.
And when you've watched those two train wrecks you can safely revisit this film and smile while thinking of the good 'ol days when people actually put effort into these movies. Trust me, you'll have a whole new appreciation for this after watching one android tell another to blow while he does the fingering. And that is merely one part of two very poorly written movies where characters make obviously stupid choices. It will be aggravating.
For me Prometheus & Covenant are worst alien movies ever made 😢 .. shocking that they were made by Ridley Scott himself.
PS: even avp1&2 was more fun and make more sense. Only good thing about Covenant is Michael Fassbender 😢
Sigourney’s 🏀 shot was nothing short of epicness, and the production crew’s behind the scene reaction was the cherry on the top.
Yessss finally! The quadrilogy completed!
Sadly theres things in the book that was cut or couldnt be add in the movie.
-like Johner bitterness towards Vriess. All of the betty crew, except Call, were military and fought in certain war (again thats why Johner doesnt like the idea of earth) and Christie was ambush and Vriess came to save him, but he fall in a trap and lost his legs. Christie didnt want to leave Vriess behind and came to save him. Johner got his scar because of that. Thats why he is a little bitter.
-The memories that alien queen share with ripley, in the book, both were confuse with their memories. The queen had memories with newt, (she doesnt exactly know who newt was, except that ripley, destroy her colony because of her) and ripley had with the aliens and newt (at some point she doesnt know, if newt is her child or not, because she remember newt saying mommy)
-the psychic link that the aliens have. before they escape, the queen give permission for the aliens to kill the little alien, to run off. while she give the permission, the queen was trying to calm the little alien. Thats why ripley always knew certain moves of them. Ripley could hear their psychic link... so the line "i can hear them" she really did heard them.
-The aliens never tried to kill ripley, they even assume she was one of them. They try to save her, before ripley run away and meet the betty crew.
-The new born refusing the queen as mother, and accepting ripley as a mother. That part in the book is so interesting, because we have access to ripley, the queen and new born mind. Its so chaotic and confusing for them, and for us...
14:49 "they look a bit different don't they"
The in-story explanation is that the queen also has some human dna in her, so the xenos have a more "fleshy" appearance
Though it was more likely that the design team (Woodruff and Gillis, from the previous movie too) just preferred the more "monstrous" desing over the original's more bio-mechanical
This timeline is continued in a 2 issue comic series, as a crossover with Aliens, Predator and Terminator
45:53 the fact that the Xenomorph’s grew(or evolved) a face is quite disturbing 😳
So your genetics don't change if you're carrying a Xeno. The reason she's a hybrid in this is because they cloning process wasn't perfect and the DNA of Ripley and the Queen got cross contaminated
Also the basketball scene, Sigourney Weaver ACTUALLY sank the shot. The plan was to let her throw it and cut away and then cut in a shot of the basket. But she did it and it went in and they had to cut the scene because everyone broke character in awe of her doing it (on accident)
We finally found one where Denise wouldn't "boop the snoot"! 😂😂😂 This movie was full of curveballs and change-ups for this series. It's a crazy ride. Now it's time for the prequels: Prometheus and Covenant. Great reaction! ❤❤
The basketball shot was real and as soon as Sigourney was out of frame the Director was like yesssssssssssssssss!
29:48 That strobe effect on Ripley Eight's face as she stares into the camera, you can see her eyes, how inhuman they are, looking at Purvis like he was a mere insect, showing just how inhuman _SHE_ is...and her smile as she said "I'm the monster's mother."...predatory. That was the creepiest thing. She scared me.
I remember that when the movie was in theater in France, Sigourney Weaver was interviewd on the country main channel main news show. They showed sneak peak of the movie (The underwater aliens and the basketball shot) and I remember miss Weaver being SUPER proud of succeeding in the basketball shot
