@@paulschuckman6604 It might be fixed on modern versions like they fixed the obvious hole in the floor when Bishop was ripped in half. They might have even fixed the guy with the blanket you see running into shot to put out the flames, when Frost falls down the hole.
My favorite part of Vasquez is she's actually white. That joke in the movie, where they say "they said alien, and you thought they meant Illegal Alien" is actually what happened! The actor thought it was a movie about aliens (as in, non-citizens), so she got all dressed up to look Hispanic, including makeup to look tan, etc, and the look was so good they had her keep it in the actual movie. They put the joke in because it was too good to pass up, lol.
And we know Ripleys daughter didn’t die at age 66 because I got her killed several dozen times in mid 20’s in the really quite good survival horror game Alien Isolation.
1. Even Paul Reiser’s mother cheered when Burke met his end. 2. Makes you wonder if Cameron chose the name Bishop only to make the joke “Queen takes Bishop”. 🤔
It then becomes a tradition in the Alien series going forwards that each new Android character had a name that started with the letter following the last. IE we started with Ash in the original, then Bishop, then Call in Alien Resurrection and David in Prometheus
@@weldonwin_Alien: Covenant_ broke that tradition with Walter. But it still followed a logic. D is the fourth to the first letter in the alphabet. W is the fourth to the last letter of the alphabet. The two androids are the opposite of one another. And Romulus has… s p o i l e r Rook which matches with Bishop and Queen.
Cameron had rather a history with making sci-fi movies look great, even on a very limited budget, a skill that like many other people in Hollywood, he learned working for legendary Schlockmeister Roger Corman
IMMA LET U FINNISH, BUT: ACKCHYUALLY (and factually), Tron was released in 1982 and The Last Starfighter was released in 1984. Both of these movies use CGI, Tron uses it very lightly (it's basically just in couple short scenes), while Last Starfighter is officially being recognized as the very first movie in history that utilized full-3D scenes straight up, created by Digital Productions which used Cray's X-MP supercomputer to build and render out the CGI scenes. *The More You Know.*
@@Kawayolnyo I think it would be better to say, this movie predates the *Maturation* of CGI, since while it did already exist in 1986, it was still very primitive
According to her, making the movie was a lot of fun, but was so much work and was stressful as well. She'd have school during the day, then long hours shooting at night, then up early for school again. She apparently didn't originally try out for the part, she just came along to the audition with her brother Russ to offer morale support and got asked to audition as well. Russ does turn up in the movie as Newt's brother Timmy
A lot of people think they would be Hicks in this scenario but the truth is we would all be more like Hudson.. Crapping our pants but still get shit done. I love the fact that they portray bishop in a way that makes him sus and our preconceptions from the first movie is hes a badguy but we get a full 360 and its masterfully done.
"That doesn't look very breathable." "How do you make an atmosphere breathable?" In the scene just prior to that one they literally tell you about the atmosphere processors. lol
The planet has an atmosphere so they were able to build a processor that makes oxygen with an atmosphere the oxygen would stay on the planet making it breathable. Other then Earth Mars is the next closest planet with atmosphere it’s just too cold to grow any planets to make oxygen.
I must object about one thing. You say James Horners score is almost absent. You need to watch it again with a decent sound system. The score is a huge part of this movie and was subsequently put into so many other movies and trailers. It's one of the best film scores of the 80's.
Jennifer Lawrence (of Hunger Games) recently congratulated herself on being the first female heroine in the movies. Sigourney Weaver (Ripley) replied to the post saying, "Thank you," No one beats Ripley, no one.
I saw this movie in 1986 on opening weekend. I had seen the first movie but had no idea what was going to happen. It completely blew me away! Such incredible action and the aliens were so awesome. So so good! Vasquez was my favorite, such a badass, and she went out like a G! Great reaction, guys!
Alien and Aliens are one of my favorite 1-2 film combos. Alien is a great sci-fi horror film, and Aliens is a great sci-fi action film. Alien was the first film that I owned on VHS, back before they were meant to be sold to consumers (it cost me $80). Aliens was the first R-rated film I watched in a theater.
Janette Goldstein who played the part of Vasquez, missunderstood what the movie was about, to her "Aliens" was about Illigal Immigrants. So she showed up at the auditions in a Latina Thug/Gang member outfit with the attitude to match. The Audition team loved her so much in this, that Cameron specially wrote the part of Vasquez for her, thats why Vasquez is a bad ass Latina Thug Marine. Ther's even an inside joke about this, during the Briefing where she says "I only need to know one thing, where they are and who they are" and Hudson saying "She heard Alien, and though about Illegals Aliens" Cameron idea was to not make it a copy of the previous movie, cause by now people knew hat the alien looked like and what it could do, so he opted for the MORE of them approach and pitted them against Colonial Marines. And he expanded the univers of Alien with this Lore about a future where Colonial Marines corp is a neccesity, despite humanity at this point not having met an "intelligent alien race", and only Indigenous life forms that needed to be dealt with, hench the nomeclature of "Xenomorphs". He wanted to depict this encounter as a call back to Vietnam war, where the marines where Overconfident and cocky, but got their arses handed to them by an enemy in superior numbers, more primitive and using Geurilla tactics cause of their Home turf advantage. He also managed to make you attached enough to each character, that you'll feel for them when they get attacked and killed, and them not just being nameless goons that gets killed off. Each Marine is unique in its personality and way of doing things and each has their quirks, wich makes them memorable enough for the audience to care. So Cameron managed to turn a purely Horror setting into an Action/thriller/Horror with great maestria, cause quite honestly you are on the edge of your seat during the whole 2nd half of the movie.
Wow! What great insight to share, thank you! Where do you learn all of this? It’s amazing what happens when an actor shows up confident and ready to show their authentic selves. In Jannette’s case it led to her part being written for her…truly inspiring.
I was 13 back then, 1986, and we decided to go to the movies. Since this was not a movie for kids, we had an adult with us. WE HAD NO IDEA what was waiting for us. The whole cinema was in shock. I became a huge Alien/Sigourney Weaver fan a few years later, after I went to my best friend’s house to watch Alien, since they had just bought a VHS player. We, again, were traumatised with the chest bursting scene. We were speechless and in shock.
One of my top 5 favorite SciFi movies of all time! I saw this in theaters when it first came out. It was a literal standing ovation in the theater when Ripley closed the air lock and faced the camera in a closeup. That ending!! Queen takes Bishop. Queen threatens Pawn/Neut Rook/Ripley takes Queen. Mate! Both Alien and Aliens were great movies and complimented each other. Alien was a Horror/Mystery movie. Aliens was an Horror/Action Movie. Glad you reacted to the extended addition. It really fills out the story. And gives you more insight into why Ripley really put herself on the line to protect Neut. She became her adopted daughter.
7:30 you found out later in the movie but basically those eggs are stationary, and there were no other lifeforms on the planet they could go for, so they just waited till someone or something finds them.
Somethings never change. In the theater (yes I am old enough to have seen it there, sadly) the whole packed theater erupted in cheers at the "get away from her you bitch" line. Glad you guys enjoyed this, its a masterpiece.
My favorite movie of all time. So remember she was out there for over 50 years, so they people went out to survey and terraform the planet years after the last movie. And it's not really mysterious that the aliens didn't show up, because there were no aliens to show up. Not without someone finding and going to the derelict ship. It takes a host for a facehugger for there to be aliens running around. It's a big planet so the chance of a colonist from this one spot on the planet to find the ship now that the beacon was turned off in the first movie, was almost impossible. Not until Burke sent them to the location. And they weren't studying them or liars, not until the father got one of them on his face and they brought him back. They were studying them to find out how to stop them. They took those off victims. This movie really spells out the life cycle of the Xenomorphs. You see how they function as a hive. This is a very good pairing with the first one. The first one being the Horror movie, this one being the action movie. Now if you want to end it on a happy note, stop here. But if you want to see Ripley's complete story arc...watch the next two. I really love 3 and 4. Some fans don't like them, but I think they are both great. Sigourney's acting is phenomenal in both of the next sequels.
Thanks for your comment and insight. You seem to appreciate Sigourney’s work and that’s reason enough for us to consider the next 2 films. Will we watch them here as a reaction: not sure yet…but definitely would love to see where Ripley goes. -Peace, Jose Miguel (MaJeliv Dad)
Just to add, imagine being the prospectors who are the first humans to discover an alien space ship? They would be set for life so no way they're just going to turn around unless someone (Burke) warns them.
Salvage is an old maritime/naval rule/law, that's actually still in use today, as far as I know. The way it works is this: if you find an abandoned ship in unowned/international waters, and there is no one on board, you can claim salvage rights to the vessel. This means the owner of the craft has to pay you something like 60-80% of the value of the ship, or let you take ownership of it entirely. However, to claim salvage rights, the craft has to be entirely abandoned. If you find an unconscious but alive person aboard, there is no salvage. If you find someone that lost both arms and legs to a freak accident, but are still breathing, no salvage. If you find the entire crew aboard it, but they've all died from a mysterious disease, you get salvage rights - because everyone on board being dead is the same as abandoned. Finding the entire crew violently murdered would also make salvage rights possible, but the foul play of that makes it a very difficult road and you'd have to find some way to irrefutably prove you were in no way involved in their murder. So, the comment about salvage rights is them remarking how there goes their shot at salvage rights, because Ripley is still aboard and still alive. This is a big deal, especially here on Earth, because most ships you'd find in international waters are worth millions or billions. Salvage rights also applies to military vessels, and the government the ships belongs to has to pay you that percentage of the value of the ship. Likewise, it also applies to things like oil tankers or cargo ships. Now, if you read all that, you know what the comment about salvage was talking about!
If I am standing there with Ellen Ripley and Sarah Conner and I'm in danger. Guess what, I'm NOT in danger. I'd lie down and take a nap. I'm so safe. Ripley and Conner? I wouldn't want to get in the way of their bad assery!
Maritime law in space, if you find a ship in the ocean with no survivors, you could take it as yours. Sell it for scrap or what ever you wanted to do with it.
My friends, me mostly, played the knife game way to many times in our teens. We´re Norwegian and every time someone did something cool at a party or something we high fived and sayd GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER.
No, it's not. It starts by killing everyone off, gives you rapists and murderers instead, and it depends completely on a retcon that doesn't make any sense. Fincher still hates it with a passion.
@@Otokichi786 And the assembly cut didn't have "interference"? 🤣 Every version is garbage, because every version kills Hicks and Newt in the opening credits, off-screen, and has a ridiculous retcon that breaks continuity. Then Ripley almost gets raped, and dies. So what was the point?
@@miller-joel I recall reading that Sigourney Weaver wanted to kill off "Ellen Ripley" and movie on to other things. Killing off "minor characters" off/on-stage has been around since Shakespeare's time. (I also disliked the "kill off Hicks and Newt" script.) The "Alien" films were supposed to end...but we know what happened. (sigh.)
@@Otokichi786 Weaver hated guns (Aliens would not exist if she had had more clout in 1986), she wanted to kill Ripley and have six with the alien. She got her wishes and it was trash. Hicks and Newt were not small characters. The magic egg on the Sulaco has always been and always be a stupid retcon.
I actually met Carrie Henn (NEWT) last year at a convention; days before Halloween. Wish I could share a picture. Got her autograph on my Aliens DVD I was amazed that Bishop remained useful after ripped in half, unlike a certain gold droid in Empire Strikes Back. The actor who played him didn’t know how to read until he was 30 years old! Also, I was ecstatic when the movie was mentioned in an Avengers film and the basis for a rescue plan! They even did a camera shot that was reminiscent of it. Glad you had watched the Special Edition of Aliens. Do NOT bother with the remaining sequels. HUGE disappointments. Normally don’t bother with audio commentaries but I enjoyed the one with the director and cast.
I am so glad that you reacted to one of my favorite movies! It's a masterpiece, and even though I have seen it a million times, it still scares me-some iconic lines & characters. I loved your reaction to Vasquez, played by Jenette Goldstein, who was also in T2.
This movie is incredibly iconic in a number of ways. First, it pretty much cemented Ripley as easily in the top five best female action characters ever. Second, it easily influenced and inspired most alien creature feature films between 1987 and the early 2000's. Third, the colonial marines in this film provided the template for military forces in many science fiction films, TV, and video games especially.
Fun Fact: The scene at the orientation meeting aboard the spaceship where Ripley tells the solders about the Xenomorphs, was filmed last, after the actors bonded making the rest of the film.
Additional Fun Fact: Including the Special Edition, no fewer than four members of the cast of Aliens were also voice actors on Starfleet, a British produced English language version of a Japanese sci-fi Marionet series, in which Mark Rolston who played Drake, was the pudgy comic relief character. The series ran between 1980-81 and inspired a rock album by Brian Ferry from Queen, collaborating with Eddy VanHalen
Fun fact. You can see how this film heavanly influenced the first Halo game. The design of the ships and characters like the Sarge that appear in the game.
It’s actually not so unbelievable that no one spotted the Derelict Spacecraft in 57 years-Guessing that the signal stopped working at some point between the first and second movie, there would be nothing to pinpoint the ship. With one small settlement amidst a whole planet, with all that bad weather. If the alien spacecraft was under cover of a mountain or something, no satellite would spot it. And the colonists wouldn’t know where to look or what to look for. It’s only after reading Ripley’s report that they would be able to pinpoint its coordinates.
7:28 "... the fact that the aliens haven't showed up again...." Remember their life cycle, from the first movie. There was only one in the first movie and Ripley blew it out the airlock. So many icons in this film. Firstly, of course, Sigourney as Ripley. But then Michael Biehn (Terminator, The Abyss, Tombstone) as Hicks, Lance Henrickson (Terminator, many others) as Bishop and the late, great Bill Paxton as Hudson. Paxton has the honour of the only actor being killed by an Alien, a Predator and a Terminator. And 37:06 Most iconic line in sci-fi cinema history.
I always enjoyed when Ripley shows up to bishop landing the 2nd dropship and says they aren't leaving and he goes "we're not!?" Always makes me chuckle
with the success of the first alien, this sequel was highly anticipated and the fact that James Camron was coming off the first terminator, this film had high expectations from the start. Fast forward opening night and not only were expectations met but it was surpassed, plus a best actress nomination for Sigourney at the oscars, iconic classic blockbuster film that paived the way to sci-fi greatness
No you are not nuts, he plays Jose on TWD for a few episodes and he is the principal on Kobra Kai and he has other small parts on various series through the last years. I think it's a family of actors the kid on the right act on Miss Marvel.
Tarantino said about the hype back then when this movie came out: the critics were love it, everybody wait for it, because it is coming from the director of 'Terminator', outside the cinema there was a huge line they have to wait out, and despite all this, the movie exceeded all their expectations so much, they can't believe it! Truly a gem of movie making!
I saw this movie in 1986 with my friend Cindy on opening night. The audience in the theater was gasping, screaming, and at the end, on their feet, cheering. Cindy, who was fairly sweet and innocent, was rather traumatized by the whole experience and slept on the floor of her parent's bedroom for three nights afterwards!🤣. (She's fine now! LOL). For me, I thought this was the best movie I had ever seen. I went in expecting it to be a retread of the original Alien and I was totally blown away by James Cameron's vision and Sigourney Weaver's bad ass Ripley. I've never experienced a movie in a theater that had quite the impact this one did on me and it has become my favorite movie out of all movies I've ever watched in my 57 years. I have many other favorites, but Aliens is at the top of my list and always will be!
Apparently James Cameron walked into the pitch meeting, pulled up a white board, wrote ALIEN....then put a $ at the end of it (ALIEN$). It was greenlit. I don't care if it turns out to be a fake story, this is the version I wanna believe lmfao
Thank you for letting me enjoy this movie with your family it was a wholesome old fashion feeling I thought was lost to time. I'm glad your family proved to me this rewarding human interaction still exist.
In the '80s was Bruce Willis, Arnold Swarznegger, Silvester Stallone .. the action heroes, the bad-ass people. Then was also Segourney Weaver, the ultimate bad-ass action hero, surpassing them all.
Too make the nightmares even scarier for everyone: it is very likely that that these are telepathic attacks on Ripley by the Queen telling her to come back to the hive and join the colony.
Aliens (1986): the talent, creativity and ingenuity in the visual effects is incredible. Considering that there is not a single shot done with CGI. Everything was done with practical effects and camera tricks. The man behind the special effects, Stan Winston. All of this combined with a good script, and great director, the ideal combination. One of the best sequels ever made with Terminator 2.
This is in my top 2 movies of all time, along with big trouble in little China. Which came out right around the same time. I was twelve and those movies stuck with me. And I will always and forever. Remember you as the principal in Cobra Kai.
Burke actually survived for a while, there is a deleted scene where Ripley runs into him while cocooned and after incubation by a face-hugger when looking for Newt inside the hive at the end of the movie, and leaves him with a grenade to basically take himself out. Also, the world of LV-426 is actually a cross between a moon and a planet (also known as a "ploonet"), and is protected by the magnetic field of the gas-giant planet it is orbiting, which itself, is orbiting in the goldi-locks zone of a star. There are several of those "ploonets" in science fiction, like Yavin 4 in Star Wars: A New Hope, as well as the world of Pandora in James Cameron's more recent Avatar movie franchise. The atmosphere processor basically took in LV-426's original atmosphere, and re-arranged the gasses to make the atmosphere breathable, and help to increase the overall pressure of the atmosphere, meaning people could now get out without having to wear a space-suit.
The first movie was genre setting. No one had ever witnessed a horror movie like this before. It was almost a perfect film. The second one was an excellent sequel that gives you more of what you wanted to see but missed from the first movie, packed with action. Two completely different movies. The first one was a better "film," the second was a better "movie." Great reaction. Love that all you cared about for the fist half was your family member...hahahahaha
Great reaction! Fun fact that Bill Paxton has been in an Aliens film, Predator and Terminator. Fun fact 2: Lance Henrikson who played Bishop was ALSO in an Aliens, Predator and Terminator movie. 😊
Regarding Cameron, Wired used to have an incredible article about his career writing about the time the first Avatar was released. The three takaways I found most interesting were that he was a college dropout working as a truck driver and making scifi models as a hobby, and then he saw Star Wars and was inspired tp teach himself film making. His start was a special effects demo with a woman in an exoskeleton fighting a robot - like he put different aspects of that into his first two movies. And that 3D movies exist because he made enough money with Titanic to do whatever he wanted, and his vision of Avatar required 3D so he figured out how to push the creation and adoption of the technology so he could make that film.
Alien 3 (do the SE if you watch it) is a completely different kind of film that borders on Drama vs Scifi horror or action like the first two. I like it quite a bit. Brad Pitt (the actor) also liked it and is what made him want to work with Fincher on the movie Seven (who disowned it because of studio interference). But it is definitely not as well liked as the first two movies, and is especially a hard pill to swallow for fans who consider the second movie the apex of the series. To me, after the first three the series really nose dives. Some people like Prometheus, I personally have a strong distaste for the movie and think its sequel is mediocre. Alien Res the fourth film released is also a little too silly for my own taste. But there are people that like all of these films at different levels, so you still have to watch them because peoples taste are so varied, even if it isn't on the react channel. I know a couple of weirdos who only like Resurrection, and one who only likes Prometheus. I hope that Romulus or the FX series rights the ship, but I've heard promises of going back to the series roots for decades now, so I'll have to wait and see. The first three movies are amongst my favorite movies of all time.
Fun facts. the script used for this movie was originally titled "Mother" Also the door cuttter boom arm was paid out of pocket by cameron himself. The studio refused to pay for it. I think it cost him around 12k to 15k for him to rent it.
Aliens is one of the best action movies ever made. And a quick fact the picture of Ripley's daughter is actually a picture of Sigourney Weaver's mother.
What?! Really? Her mother? Oh wow! We love inside details like that. Thank for sharing! And thanks for being a loyal viewer and subscriber. Hope you realize your support helps us continue growing. Peace and Godspeed.
@@MaJeliv Yes it sure was if you can tell by Sigourney's performance while looking at the photo it had more of a emotional impact. She ended up being nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for this role but sadly lost.
Bishop is NOT a cyborg. A cyborg is artificial/mechanical parts melded with the biological. Bishop is an android; a robot/automaton fashioned to look like a human. He even calls himself “an artificial person”
If you rewatch the episode of Stranger Things with Paul Reiser, you can hear the sound of the motion tracker from Alien during one of his scenes, it was added as an Easter egg.
They cast Paul Reiser in Stranger Things partly to freak out people who remembered him as Carter Burke. The twist being that, in Stranger Things, he really was "an ok guy".
The extended edition adds a TON to this movie IMO. It is honestly the ONLY extended version I own of any of them. The directors cut of Alien honestly messes up the lore going forward, and the assembly cut of Alien 3, while adding to the characters, is kind of chaotic to say the least. Ripley was an absolute BADASS and one of the first female protagonists that kicked total A$$ with no F's given, she was NOT giving up on Newt no matter what. To this day "GET AWAY FROM HER YOU B!TC#" is one of the hardest lines ever...the whole theater cheered LOUDLY when she said it. Alien was all about the suspenseful horror, Aliens is basically an Syfy/Action/Horror show and it was basically tied for my favorite 2nd movie in a franchise next to Terminator 2 Judgement Day. Great reaction guys, watching you all squirm, dodge and the woman in the middle keep saying "Look up...LOOK UP!" had me laughing allot!!
"Aliens": Third Officer Ripley has been found and taken to Gateway station with a Xenomorph-size case of PTSD. What will the Weyland-Yutani Suits make of her blowing up the "Nostromo"? On the SE version: After I saw the 1986 theatrical version, I had a question about Ripley that was answered in the first 10 minutes of the 1990 Laserdisc(!). 14:46 Aww, you left out Ripley's "Where do you want it?" scene, where Hicks and Apone find out that Ripley isn't a front office paper shuffler like Burke. 15:30 I had read Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" book before seeing this movie, and The Heavy Infantry came to mind. 20:52 Ripley is able to "get close quickly" to Rebecca, unlike the female Colonial Marines. A reviewer of the time said: "Sisterhood!" I suspected (and later confirmed in 1990) that Ripley had been a parent. 22:42 Vasquez isn't about to go into a hot zone unarmed; she has spare fire control modules for herself and Drake.
Did you know besides this the guy that plays Hudson not only fights aliens here but fights a terminator in The terminator, and fights a predator in predator 2..
Speaking as an alien fan: WATCH ALIEN 3! It´s a perfect trilogy ending. People usually dislike it for two reasons: 1: A really sad beginning (no spoilers)... 2: Some few sequences, made with early poor CGI.... Despite that, Alien3 works very well as a closure.
Wrong. It starts with a retcon that destroys continuity, so it doesn't follow Aliens, any more than some lame fanfic would. And killing your favorite characters, making the first two movies completely pointless, is not a "perfect ending."
@@Marcel_Wendigo You don't even understand the difference between liking something and claiming it's good. Liking sht doesn't make you a liar. Saying it's good, does. If your "opinion" is that continuity doesn't matter, your opinion sucks, because continuity is the most important part of storytelling, since people started telling stories.
Love you guys as individual reactors and as a family unit. You provide uniqueness as a reaction channel and that ain’t easy in such an oversaturated corner of content. I look forward to seeing more
The rewatch value is great because every single thing is meticulously set up by something that happened before. For example watch the sequence where the dropship takes off with Ripley and there's a subtle hint that the queen got on that I doubt anyone would notice on the first viewing but Cameron being a relentless perfectionist added it in.
Jeannette Goldstein (Vasquez) is my favorite. Her gun says Adidos. When the computer says you have 15 minutes to get to safe distance...time it. It really is 15 minutes until the planet blows up. Bill Paxton ( Hudson) most of his lines were improvised. James Cameron hires the same actors and actresses.
My favorite sci-fi series, my favorite movie Aliens!! 6 yrs old in the theatre with my family!! Terrified me as a child, IN LOVE WITH IT TILL THIS DAY!!😁😁😁😁
Not EVERYONE telling you to not watch 3. Do the assembly cut of 3, watch it and decide if YOU think it’s worth it to edit it down and bring to the channel.
35:41 ......Queen takes Bishop. Sorry. Too easy. The tension that you guys were experiencing was a total flashback for me. When I saw this in the theater, I watched the whole thing with my knees pulled up to my chest. I was positive the aliens were under my seat, ready to grab me. Great vid, you guys!
Hahaha! Thanks for your comment it made me literally chuckle out loud…well take the compliment but Sigourney stands alone, she’s fabulous in this and she brought out the best of our emotions.
Love watching you all sharing a family moment with us. You are such lovely people. Please stay as you are. I happen to like the 3rd movie but it's not for everyone especially if you like the happy ending in Aliens.
thank you @kathihein5524 that's what this whole thing is about, sharing a family moment with you and the rest of our viewers. Your presence here helps us and we hope we can do more of this: working together is a dream come true. -Jose Miguel (MaJeliv Dad)
I watched your reaction to Alien before, and you can't imagine how happy I was the other day you posted this, because this movie is so epic, even more when none of you had watched it before and how fun was to see myself in all of you, when I watched this the first time. Thanks for sharing, guys! The side characters of this film are so memorable, Hudson specially. Vasquez, oh, she's such a badass (plus, your faces when you read her name in the list, priceless hehe). And Hicks, I just really loved the guy because he always listened to Ripley, trust her judgement without knowing her but he could tell how brave she was (when he asks her if she was okay, right before entering the compound), for going back there knowing this creature terrified her. Again, thanks guys! 😊 Ps. Since it was a group reaction, the soundtrack may have seem absent but honestly, James Horner's compositions were amazing . Absolutely nerve-wracking 😉
