I too listen to the audio while walking during my lunch break. Nothing like taking nature in and listening to Daerek"s awesome voice, while being entertained with delicious Alien lore!
This scratches a weird itch where I've seen "Alien" a hundred times but having a retelling with more internal dialogue and vaguely different structure makes it feel new again. love it
I love that jones is a member of the crew with the rank of ‘ships cat’. This is great because since the oldest times cats were on ships to kill vermin and help with comfort and relaxation. They earned their place as companions and valued members of the ship thus becoming recognised actual crew with a specialised rank. I love the respect shown to them in real life and mirrored here in this fiction of the future.
yes, and jones was the one who saved ripley in the shuttle when he warned her about the alien on board and also distracted it when she put on the suit in the closet. so her decision to respect him as part of the crew saved his and her own life.
@@GeoffreyWare that’s an excellent observation. Gladly it doesn’t disprove my point and historical reference. Some real life points are needed to make science fiction a more hard sci fi setting and help suspend disbelief.
You read these accounds dispassionately, like a historian grimly relaying the follies of hubris and greed. For such a morbid, bleak history, this narration is tonally perfect. Fantastic work.
1 hour, 28 minuets & 21 seconds of pure Alien goodness. If we ever do get overrun with Xenomorphs I hope they eat you last so we get as much content for a long as possible :)
I’m here 5 years later and I just wanted to say I’m absolutely in awe of you brother. You have given me this amazing story, probably the best written alien story I have ever heard. Flawlessly narrated by you for hours and hours. And I can’t get enough. I have to agree with your many other fans I think you should find an artist and create your own graphic novels in the Alien Universe. I truly believe you could create some amazing stories of your own. Watching these stories has been better that most films I’ve seen in 15 years. God bless brother thank you 🙏
Your voice is teetering between monotone and Morgan Freeman. Definitely an awesome story telling voice. If I wrote a book, I'd pay you to narrate for sure.
@@jcdenton5828 the Colonial Marines Technical Manual is a book giving details on the equipment etc used by the marines, not the video game.. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
I'm at work in the UK and then I see a 90 minute Alien Theory video has landed. I've got a 30 min break now and a 60 min break later on. This is fate :) Thanks dude!
The added touch of the fight in the messhall in the background was fantastic. the first time I heard this, I was on train to home from work. It was too loud to hear it then, but now in my room I can. Fantastic work, cheers.
most of these videos are between 10-20 minutes, i was pretty excited to see that this one was at least an hour, i listen to these videos while im at work, my days get incredibly boring so getting a video like this is like getting an incredible present so thank you for making my otherwise dull day really exciting.
Your narrating is wonderful, your voice is so clear and mirrors perfectly the different characters and emotions. This channel is my absolute fave on RUclips! I wish the alien franchise would work with you on something, you’d be a huge asset to them, from the promoting you could do for them alone of any future projects. Fantastic work. x
Your content helped me get over a severe opiate addiction (10++ years) nothing I write can really express my appreciation. Thank you for all the amazing content!!!
Thank you for for your kind words and I am extremely glad to hear I have helped in some way. I have had my own struggles and I know how hard it can be. Stay Frosty.
@@AlienTheory Your narration and the content in your videos just kept my mind occupied when things got really tough. Love the depth and breadth of knowledge that you've compiled. As someone who only saw Alien 1979 a few years ago, i have to say it's one of the most amazing bodies of work, from the comics to the audiobooks. Thanks again, and much appreciate the reply.
you sir have done the general public a valuable service in making these comics accessable to people like me that don't have the comics , bravo sir, bravo...................and might i say you have a good voice for narration..
I woke up early to see an hour and a half Earth War related video! Had to drink a second cup of coffee to realize I wasn’t dreaming. Seriously though, this is Audible worthy.
But Alien Theory....Christmas was Last Month. Seriously though, your doing a hell of a job with your narrations. Very in-depth and flows well with the atmosphere. Your voice is perfect for Dark Sci-fi.
If you've made it all the way to the end? How could you quit in the middle of the worthy recounting of the greatest movie in history? Bravo sir. Thumbs up. #alien40
How many times have I heard this? 400? 500? More? I've been putting this video on almost every night for bed for the last couple years. It has become something so much more than a video on RUclips to me... somehow it is the thing that let's me know the sun will rise again tomorrow. Thank you so much for this amazing and incredibly well narrated video. Thank you for the channel.
I came across these during covid lockdown and would never have discovered the audiobook universe without them. These audio files saved my sanity during covid lockdown and opened up a whole new world.
I don’t think I’ll ever want to seek out another source for Alien material, lore, and discussion than this channel. You constantly outdo yourself and praise is in the deservingly highest level for you. Keep it up and let’s hope 2019 keeps the franchise alive.
Listening to this series during corona lockdown. Excellent work. My father was an AD on the film and your reading of this comic and filling in all these little details I’ve forgotten or missed is just incredible work. #Alien40
Killer vid as usual AT. I loved the 90 mins of run time. It was like being able to watch Alien right on the job, and I love the extra detail you only get in written format! If you did audio books Id listen to those too. Your voice really lends itself well to the frsnchise! Lookin forward to more content! #A40
come on MAN! why can your vids be this top shelf hit in the gut of what if reality, and how humans would react....yet we have 2 davids playing a FLUTE .....im a huge fan of yours
Seeing more and decent alien series content on RUclips, but your knowledge and calm, almost relaxing voice and narrating makes these certainly some of the best. Your subscribers appreciate your effort and quality...
#Alien40 I know of no other RUclips presenter who is as universally loved by fans as you are AT. No matter what I'm doing, when I get a notification of a new upload by you, I drop whatever I'm doing and watch it immediately. This video was no exception and I watched the whole thing, from start to end without stopping for anything. Your voice is so pleasant to listen to while the outstanding visuals and atmospheric music perfectly match the scene at hand. Thank you, Sir, thank you again!
It's funny rewatching this playlist so many years later after having seen Alien: Romulus. Still think this was a better sequel series than everything we've gotten so far
In my work, sometimes I need to go to dark, underground, cold and wet places. I cant watch any episode of AT, but I can listen to it, and let my imagination do the rest :] Very nice and soothing voice too. I have recommended my friend this channel, he is a fan of Alien, even got a tattoo :] Thank you for all your work on the Alien Universe!
I can finally understand people who buy audio books... I let this play thinking I'd fall asleep to it, but no. I am gonna go binge the rest of the channel. #Alien40
#Alien 40 Thank you alien theory for the video. You made me love the xenomorph race. In a Ripley kinda way though. Keep up the good work man. Love all the videos
Very good video brother I really enjoyed it man you did a amazing job and hope to see another one in the future and also maybe a future stream??? Pvt.Firebug sighing off
Thank us for watching till the end ? Sir WE thank YOU for making these videos. Your vids are far better than our wildest dreams of getting a descent sequel for the master pieces A1+A2 and as a matter of fact you are giving us sequelS. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
I care more for the content on your channel than A3, AR, Prometheus, and Covenant. Truly awesome job, and thank you for your work, Alien Theory is the only source for Alien I come to.
I have all these comics. But damn do you make it atmospheric & entertaining in your videos. Great job as always. Look forward too your next upload! #Alien40
Man I love Alan Dean Foster. And your video is better than the reading of this novel in the audiobook form. Not just because I prefer your "Midwest" accent (same as mine) to the British accent in the audiobook but it's the background music and the comic images that go along with the story that really bring it all home. The audiobook has a British accent and only sound fx/music at the start and end of chapters. Keep up the good work. #Alien40
Alien is one of my all-time favorite movies. I've seen it more times than I can remember. I can pretty much recite the entire script while watching the movie. Even still, this video had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. Honestly, it was kind of like watching the original movie for the first time. Incredible job on this one, as well as the entire series as a whole. Well done. #Alien40
I was a bit confused at 30:49 when a flash forward happened. Went from Nostromo to Ripley and Henderson post rescue. Then I figured it out. Nice way of telling the story.
I just listened to the Alien audiobook over the last week, and while that narrator was good, you are much better. Really good work. You have a voice for audiobooks.
"He was silent for a while. “... No, it is impossible; it is impossible to convey the life-sensation of any given epoch of one’s existence-that which makes its truth, its meaning-its subtle and penetrating essence. It is impossible. We live, as we dream-alone....” - Jos. Conrad, _Heart of Darkness_
[raises hand] I made it all the way to the end! What a tense dinner I just had. Love the new/alternate details and your visual editing really brought it home. Thank you so much for this effort! 👍
Really grateful for such a long tense reading😭 I enjoyed every bit of it and felt often even more afraid than watching the movie, now that I am imagining it. On top of your narration, the editing was as always on point, making for a masterpiece on both the visual and the audible level!
I had to put this aside, wait until I had 90 quiet minutes, at night, so I could savor this delicious, nectarous piece of darkly complex storyboarding. The cimmerian, pitch-black narration by AT is as perfect a compliment to the visuals as can be imagined. "And the creature - a wonder! " 40 year celebration. If only someone at Disney would take note - this is what we want.... read a Lovecraft story and watch this! You've done a man's job AT....!
In the old days Disney was OK. Now , they buy up intellectual property and then wreck it or put it to sleep. These oversized giant Monopolies ought to be broken up into competitive entities that are just Texas Sized huge. Disney ought to divest 2/3 of stuff not related to their core business. They are anti competitive and there are other companies that have too much influence because of their gargantuan size and monopolistic domination of their market, this achieved not by out performing all of their competitors, Like Space X, but by buying them up. This type anti competitive business model leads to a Disney . A very few companies have too much control of their market space. Anti Trust Laws were written for this They need a good stiff dose of Teddy Roosevelt's ghost !
This did not appear in my subs or anywhere else. I clicked on the channel expecting to wait longer for the next AotEW, nopers - nearly 90 minutes staring me in the face. Holy shit. I need to get my snack game on NOW. Not even 07:30 AM. I salute you sir.
Having an Alien Theory binge on Good Friday.... good way to pass isolation and since i cannot listen to music ....this was the only channel to listen to pass the time....thank you
Superb!! That was as gripping as watching the film alone, in the dark, with surround sound and having a cat jump on you!! Thoroughly enjoying all the posts! Good job! 🤘🏽😎🤘🏽
outstanding presentation and story retelling, thanks so much Alien theory. Love using these to teach my students about creative writing and art. Keep up the brilliant work!
#Alien40 I can't listen to many podcasts or audiobooks, but I have no trouble with your Accounts of the Earthwar series. You've got the perfect voice for this and your knowledge of this universe is incredible.
Amazing how Aliens is still good after 40 years... It is still unnerving to watch sometimes the movies even though I saw those few times already... Hopefully they make a new one soon, maybe use some the comics or books as templates...
Oh man I love this. I spent the last couple of days watching all of the videos in this playlist, it's absolutely magnificent! Great work, can't wait for more!! I'm dying to hear how the Earth War ends up, and learn about Ripley's adventures, while Newt and Hicks were on Earth. I read these comics as a kid, but never finished/owned them all. I love how you bring in sound/graphical effects and clips from the films, while your soothing voice ties it all together, making it your own. Amazing stuff!
Thank you very much. I’m excited about how it will go too, revisiting the comics this way has been such a great experience and I catch things about the story I never picked up on before and my appreciation for it grows and grows. So glad people are enjoying the videos and sharing this experience with me. I thought this video was a good detour to take and as I mention in the description it is incredibly impressive how Mark Verheiden related so many elements of Alan Dean Foster’s novelization to his story. Truly incredible. Can’t wait for more!
So where do we go to pickup where this left off? As always, best representation of visual material on RUclips. The tracking beacon scene you enhanced did truly gave us a feel for the confusing readings the crew received, increasing the credulity of what otherwise, only for us seasoned fans would've been another moment of disabused foreshadowing this franchise is notorious for.
When I was 9 years old I discovered the Alien vs. Predator comic book series and I fell in love the the extended universe. When I saw your videos about the goings-on on Riushi I knew we were of a kind. Way to create positivity on a universally negative platform sir. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much for the long video! Your voice is perfect for this, it’s like an audiobook when i’m at work in the operating room. I love your channel so much!!
Alien: Best casting ever, and the best cast choice in the history of cinema: Sigourney Weaver as Ripley. I watch Alien at least once a year, save it for the perfect rainy day off.
If I could like more I would. Fantastic narration, and the liberties you make to expand on the more scant speech in the comics is justified. Well done!
So beautifully executed Derek! A true master narrator and King of the Alien Universe! I enjoy your videos and channel so much! Can't wait to see what you have in store for us on Alien Day 2019!!!!! And I have to admire the amount of detail and effort you put into the images and sounds to accompany these wonderful videos. I know it's a time consuming project, but am I ever so grateful for them. With each video, you seem to pull back the layers of each story. Magnifying each topic and elaborate in such amazing detail. You can hear the same story, but with your execution it's as if it's a whole new story! I love this channel! Thank you for all you do to take your fans and fans of the Alien Universe on a continuing epic journey! Thank you Derek! From Pekin, Illinois 🇺🇸
Thank you so much for your comment Sarah I am sincerely appreciative of your kind words. This video definitely took a lot of effort and time but it is a love letter to Alien and I wanted to make is a good as I possibly could. It was planned out for a long time and was excited to finally put it all together and share it here. I am really proud of it and am so happy people are enjoying it and the channel in general. I still got a lot planned and it feels like so little time lol...Alien Day is right around the corner! But...I consider 2019 a full-year Alien celebration! 😁 Thank you again and more to come!
Holy shit. How long did it take to compile, cross-reference, record and edit this? And the generosity of providing it as one continuous piece instead of breaking it into 10 minute chunks to maximize revenue...this is one of the best things I’ve ever seen on RUclips.

If they eat him last, he'll have no-one to read to but the damn Xenos...

I was a bit confused at 30:49 when a flash forward happened. Went from Nostromo to Ripley and Henderson post rescue. Then I figured it out. Nice way of telling the story.
I just listened to the Alien audiobook over the last week, and while that narrator was good, you are much better. Really good work. You have a voice for audiobooks.

“... No, it is impossible; it is impossible to convey the life-sensation of any given epoch of one’s existence-that which makes its truth, its meaning-its subtle and penetrating essence. It is impossible. We live, as we dream-alone....” - Jos. Conrad, _Heart of Darkness_
[raises hand] I made it all the way to the end! What a tense dinner I just had. Love the new/alternate details and your visual editing really brought it home. Thank you so much for this effort! 👍
kudos to the comic artist in capturing the look of 2 of the actors so exactly
Really grateful for such a long tense reading😭 I enjoyed every bit of it and felt often even more afraid than watching the movie, now that I am imagining it. On top of your narration, the editing was as always on point, making for a masterpiece on both the visual and the audible level!
I had to put this aside, wait until I had 90 quiet minutes, at night, so I could savor this delicious, nectarous piece of darkly complex storyboarding. The cimmerian, pitch-black narration by AT is as perfect a compliment to the visuals as can be imagined. "And the creature - a wonder! "
40 year celebration. If only someone at Disney would take note - this is what we want.... read a Lovecraft story and watch this!
You've done a man's job AT....!
In the old days Disney was OK. Now , they buy up intellectual property and then wreck it or put it to sleep. These oversized giant Monopolies ought to be broken up into competitive entities that are just Texas Sized huge. Disney ought to divest 2/3 of stuff not related to their core business. They are anti competitive and there are other companies that have too much influence because of their gargantuan size and monopolistic domination of their market, this achieved not by out performing all of their competitors, Like Space X, but by buying them up. This type anti competitive business model leads to a Disney . A very few companies have too much control of their market space. Anti Trust Laws were written for this
They need a good stiff dose of Teddy Roosevelt's ghost !
This did not appear in my subs or anywhere else. I clicked on the channel expecting to wait longer for the next AotEW, nopers - nearly 90 minutes staring me in the face. Holy shit. I need to get my snack game on NOW. Not even 07:30 AM. I salute you sir.
Best birthday present ever. Thanks!
Happy birthday!
Having an Alien Theory binge on Good Friday.... good way to pass isolation and since i cannot listen to music ....this was the only channel to listen to pass the time....thank you
Watching this made me want to binge-watch the whole series again. Great vid
Dude, the way you did Dallas's death was scarier than the movie itself. Well done :3 #Alien40
Absolutely 'bloody' brilliant cheers from the UK
Superb!! That was as gripping as watching the film alone, in the dark, with surround sound and having a cat jump on you!!
Thoroughly enjoying all the posts!
Good job! 🤘🏽😎🤘🏽
You were meant to be a narrator sir. One of the best videos I have ever seen. A movie of its own.
Your story telling is amazing. You put so much extra story into these comics. You do it the best out of all the other Alien channels !!!
outstanding presentation and story retelling, thanks so much Alien theory. Love using these to teach my students about creative writing and art. Keep up the brilliant work!
#Alien40 I can't listen to many podcasts or audiobooks, but I have no trouble with your Accounts of the Earthwar series. You've got the perfect voice for this and your knowledge of this universe is incredible.
Amazing how Aliens is still good after 40 years... It is still unnerving to watch sometimes the movies even though I saw those few times already... Hopefully they make a new one soon, maybe use some the comics or books as templates...
One hour 28 min!!! Wow what a treat! Just found your chanel in 2020.... cant get enough! Greetings from Mallorca/Spain.
This was well worth the wait. I can't wait for the next installment in your coverage of the Earth War! #Alien40
Oh man I love this. I spent the last couple of days watching all of the videos in this playlist, it's absolutely magnificent! Great work, can't wait for more!! I'm dying to hear how the Earth War ends up, and learn about Ripley's adventures, while Newt and Hicks were on Earth. I read these comics as a kid, but never finished/owned them all. I love how you bring in sound/graphical effects and clips from the films, while your soothing voice ties it all together, making it your own. Amazing stuff!
Thank you very much. I’m excited about how it will go too, revisiting the comics this way has been such a great experience and I catch things about the story I never picked up on before and my appreciation for it grows and grows. So glad people are enjoying the videos and sharing this experience with me. I thought this video was a good detour to take and as I mention in the description it is incredibly impressive how Mark Verheiden related so many elements of Alan Dean Foster’s novelization to his story. Truly incredible. Can’t wait for more!
Still one of the best horror sci-fi films ever. The practical effects, thr acting, concept, everything.
Really appreciate your work, man! I could (and do) listen to your voice for hours
BUcking Frilliant Work,Agreed!LIke Christmas Morning:)
So where do we go to pickup where this left off? As always, best representation of visual material on RUclips. The tracking beacon scene you enhanced did truly gave us a feel for the confusing readings the crew received, increasing the credulity of what otherwise, only for us seasoned fans would've been another moment of disabused foreshadowing this franchise is notorious for.
When I was 9 years old I discovered the Alien vs. Predator comic book series and I fell in love the the extended universe. When I saw your videos about the goings-on on Riushi I knew we were of a kind. Way to create positivity on a universally negative platform sir. Keep up the great work.
Just finished the novel 'bug hunt' after watching one of your vids! highly recommend to anyone hungry for more aliens👌
Thank you so much for the long video! Your voice is perfect for this, it’s like an audiobook when i’m at work in the operating room.
I love your channel so much!!
You really know how to spoil us good sir, keep up the excellent work
Was ten minutes before the end before I looked up and realized this was one continuous vid. Well Done!
Alien: Best casting ever, and the best cast choice in the history of cinema: Sigourney Weaver as Ripley. I watch Alien at least once a year, save it for the perfect rainy day off.
Amen.
And Alien Theory: best narrator ever, and the best edited videos in the history of RUclips. 👌🏽
@@maaaatt Ha, indeed, my late night youtube ramblings looks like I was "besting" my favs again. All the best!
If I could like more I would. Fantastic narration, and the liberties you make to expand on the more scant speech in the comics is justified. Well done!
I don't read the alien comics.. thank you for this awesome video :) an hour and an half for pure Alien awesomeness
You're voice is so therapeutic to listen to. Also this is my second time watching this playlist lol.
#Alien40
This takes me back to being 6 years old and my grandmother let my brother and I watch Alien not knowing what it was
So beautifully executed Derek! A true master narrator and King of the Alien Universe! I enjoy your videos and channel so much! Can't wait to see what you have in store for us on Alien Day 2019!!!!!
And I have to admire the amount of detail and effort you put into the images and sounds to accompany these wonderful videos. I know it's a time consuming project, but am I ever so grateful for them. With each video, you seem to pull back the layers of each story. Magnifying each topic and elaborate in such amazing detail. You can hear the same story, but with your execution it's as if it's a whole new story! I love this channel! Thank you for all you do to take your fans and fans of the Alien Universe on a continuing epic journey! Thank you Derek! From Pekin, Illinois 🇺🇸
Thank you so much for your comment Sarah I am sincerely appreciative of your kind words. This video definitely took a lot of effort and time but it is a love letter to Alien and I wanted to make is a good as I possibly could. It was planned out for a long time and was excited to finally put it all together and share it here. I am really proud of it and am so happy people are enjoying it and the channel in general. I still got a lot planned and it feels like so little time lol...Alien Day is right around the corner! But...I consider 2019 a full-year Alien celebration! 😁 Thank you again and more to come!
The Xenomorphs were the first things I got scared of when I was still a kid.
Same here but also Skynet/the terminators in the opening scenes of T1 and T2 gave me hella nightmares as a kid!
Return of the living dead scared me
Yup
Holy shit. How long did it take to compile, cross-reference, record and edit this? And the generosity of providing it as one continuous piece instead of breaking it into 10 minute chunks to maximize revenue...this is one of the best things I’ve ever seen on RUclips.
