[@ParkerJColeAuthor]

@@booshmcfadden7638 I really enjoyed the movie even though the last act went off the rails. What I liked about Johnson's skill was his ability to maintain the same facial expressions with subtle, minute movements of his face and eyes. It was quite effective.

[@booshmcfadden7638]

@ParkerJColeAuthor It wouldn't bloody end. Everything the did created a new problem to solve. Ramp up, climax, PHEW! That's done. But, uh-oh! This new plot thread! Ramp up, climax, PHEW! Like 5 times. The pacing was terrible. The acting was annoying. The dialog was too repetitive (we get it, Bjorn, you hate synthetics, stop telling us every 2 minutes. Ripley did it in 15 seconds and it lasted.) The characters weren't fleshed out; they were all aggressive and overbearing and then panicky, with no diversity at all (except for Andy). They left the planet without clearance, they got info from some mysterious person, the mining corp was over the top, turns out THEY DIDN'T NEED ANDY, and a dozen other things that break all of these plot threads. What they did to Ian Holm was horrible. The characters are stupid because the plot needs them to be. The human/alien hybird was so stupid. And waaay too many callbacks to the other films. 4/10. Subpar. I won't watch it again.

[@ParkerJColeAuthor]

​@@booshmcfadden7638 I hear you and forgive me for rambling. I think why I liked it so much was the callback to nostalgia. These aliens used to terrify me as a child watching the movies with my grandmother. My Granny loved horror movies. RIP Granny. And those callbacks put me right back on the couch, sitting next to her, hiding behind her arm. Usually, nostalgia doesn't work on me, but in this movie, it did. Now, that being said, I think the pacing could have been improved most definitely, but I think they were going for a slow build up like in the first movie. The problem is that we know what's going to happen. We know we're watching an Alien movie so it's hard to keep up that mystery going so they did it with a slow ramp up. The ship leaving without clearance I saw as an error with the bureaucracy of the planet (unless they retcon it in the sequel and make it seem as if they KNEW it was going to happen) Other things I liked: being on a Company planet. I liked the relatively unknown actors. We have no attachment to them, so we can get to see what happens with Rain and Andy if they do the sequel right. I agree with FoundFlix on that one. Don't try to mesh them together. Let them have their own trilogy. I know Ridley loves the whole black goo thing - but I wish he'd just leave it alone. I get it that the early drafts of Prometheus had intricate story elements exploring created vs creator, religion vs science. I know. But let it go, my guy. Let it go. Now, I'm in the minority, I know, but ... I LIKED the Offspring. *ducks tomatoes* I''ll tell you why. I think as a story concept of merging human and alien DNA it would be a precursor to something the Company would want to do. At the end, I thought the Offspring was nursing because of the black goo coming from her chest but I guess I was wrong. I would have preferred that because that would have made an interesting dynamic to explore going forward if they wanted to like kidnapped pregnant women and experiment on them. So those are my rambling thoughts! :)

At 16:28, it's a cocoon, not an egg. The facehuggers come from eggs, that was a cocoon the baby Xeno finished it's growth in, they 3D printed the first facehuggers on this ship. The cocoon concept was taken from the movie 'Species', SIL finishes her metamorphosis in one in the train scene in that movie, it's almost exactly the same. H.R Giger worked on and designed the creatures for the movie 'Species'.

[@blaah9999]

Heyyyy pretty much exactly what I said and I compared to Sil as well lol. Glad I’m not the only one who was like wait that’s not an egg!

[@DeathG64]

It makes sense to have them cocoon though considering how fast they grow and evolve. They didn't exactly have to show it but we at least now have the full growth cycle of xenomorphs essentially. All we knew before was that from chest burster to adolescent (or whatever their blackened form is) the change happened quickly.

Its all in the movie.

[@ashleemae9681]

So does that mean Ripley was in cryostasis the whole time and her ship autopilot out? From being in danger.

[@ihdiinnotime]

@hellothere3930 they didn't, When they found Big chap, they also found Ripley sleeping in her shuttle, bring her aboard, didn't awaken her straight away, Big chap awakens goes crazy before they do, at the end when the station is crashing you can see the Ripleys shuttle escaping, either her shuttle automatically jettisoned due the station crashing or Rook did it as she might be valuable to the company (which she is) at the end of Romulus Ripley is left drifting in a random direction from the planet, explains why they never found her where she should have been, because secretly they already had her then lost her.

[@ihdiinnotime]

@ashleemae9681 yep, or Rook did it because her knowledge is valuable to the company, enough that they would retrieve her, or maybe they found her & just didn't know what to do with her ha. "What about her?" "Throw her in hanger bay 2"

The reason some of the prometheus crew were incompetent is because they were hired by Vickers (Waylands daughter) & she WANTED the mission to fail so she could gain control of the company, it's the ONLY reason she was there to 100% confirm Waylands death so she could easily take control of the company without having lots of hoops to jump through proving wayland dead, it's why she has the specific line of "for those of you who personally hired, welcome" she hired some incompetent crew to reduce the chance of waylands success in the mission & extending his life.

8:00 ... that baayby 😂

[@nicole8809]

I screamed when he said this knowing the end of the movie. That "baby" was the most horrifying thing I have ever witnessed 😂

[@PizzaWithExtraCheese]

I think you’re my favorite KZbinr. Thanks

[@moosewillis7098]

“Cadbury demon egg” and “ splooge of death.” You, my friend are a true word smith.

[@nylaedwards6986]

It is Novarro, not Kay, who says that Andy is not a real person after he is told that he won't be travelling on and must stay on the ship

[@Austin53095]

Yo I loved this movie spaney was amazing as rain . This is my favorite of the franchise to be honest . The body horror was top notch . Loved seeing the xenomorph back in action again !

[@TheElMuffin]

TLDR I went from being very skeptical about the movie to being quite happy with it. I thought that reviving Big Chap from what was supposed to be unrecoverable triple nuclear explosion was lame and then killing him off screen was even lamer but the movie is actually quite good. It oozes love and reverence to the original two movies and there's a splashes of alien isolation in almost every frame. Big part for me was how they seamlessly blended old-fi tech from Alien and Aliens like buttons and cranks with more modern digital screens, AND made CGI work with practical effects, and there's a ton of practical effects. Movie gave facehuggers front stage and managed to transfer the ominous danger that a hallway can convey to the screen with distant screeching and hissing inside long empty vent shafts really selling the fact that danger is always around the corner. Yes, references to original movies are very often a bit too much, but the plot moves with a pace and you don't get time to dwell on it. Yes, Big Chap is killed off-screen but a) there are plenty of xenomorphs to take his place and b) there's a tiny chance it's not Big Chap, since we're shown later that there are plenty of xenomorphs on the station and it could have been one of them. David Johnson really sells the two versions of Andy. The zero gravity sections is a nice touch (not like the shitty movie Gravity). It also makes sense to bring the Prometheus Fire or pathogen - thank God we don't have to call it "black goo" anymore - back into the story and actually use it for something, bringing the corporate greed exemplified by WY throughout the movies to it's logical conclusion. Everything in this movie is set up quite nicely with recalls later in the movie.

They should make alien isolation into a movie

[@mutedmayday]

So Bjorn was the father of Kay's baby (cousins btw) according to Fede. She did say the father was some jerk. I had a feeling that was the case when they reunited after the ship crashed they embraced a little too intimately.

[@eduardoceron4636]

Time to play Alien Isolation again 😌

[@arc_of_wands9745]

I was waiting for this breakdown

[@Somegoy]

I enjoyed almost all of this movie. The 0g acid scene, and Andy catching the elevator but not being able to open the door when they first encounter the face huggers kinda pulled me out. The rest of it was miles better than anything literally since aliens lol

[@schools6555]

SWEET! This was a nice little surprise tonight!! You gotta love the epic FoundFlix Ending Explained video's!!

[@X-Factor-22]

I’ve been a fan of Alvarez since he did Evil Dead. I like his philosophy when it comes to doing movies connected to established franchises. He basically says he doesn’t like straying too far away from source material and I like that.

[@DukeCannon]

On another note, I MUST SEE The Gate. Just saw trailer looks incredible!

[@usosaito.namahage]

I'd like to think the Engineers merely retro-engineered the black goo from something more primordial which comics does go into this a bit.

[@Orphancripplr]

Need to rewatch this. My buddy was talking nonstop for the first 20 minutes and I missed the entire bit about the xenomorph being taken from the ship.

[@joshuamcdaniel6530]

Man, I love horror, but I'd love it to see you branch out to new, old, your favorites, etc. Either way, it's great 😊

[@shatzngiggles8911]

Definitely the best alien movie since the original imo.

[@nokwethembamthembu1019]

I was WAITING for your review I just watched the movie yesterday omg 😭 idk I was so worried this review wouldnt come out

[@khorchinpuang]

Best Alien since Aliens

[@NomeDeArte]

100%

[@iHaveTheDocuments]

Agree unless you count alien isolation the game

[@Shadow.24-c8h]

@@iHaveTheDocumentsthen it’s the fourth best lol

[@Shadow.24-c8h]

@@NomeDeArteagreed but it had huge flaws.

[@LargeDrink58]

I fully agree with you there

[@BaneBalt]

Love this video. You should do Heretic next!

[@malaciczahkhav2480]

also idk if this is from the comics, but the egg/cocoon to transform into a xenomorph is another organism; besides the xeno inside. just like how the egg is it's own organism besides the facehugger inside, being a separate organism too.

[@PrettyTigerlilly]

I agree, the egg holds the facehugger, not the baby xeno. It's a cocoon and it's concept was taken from the movie Species ( which is connected to the Alien movies by way of H.R Giger)

[@t-bonesteak5057]

One of the best horrors this year. Now this is the alien we wanted.

[@TheMatthew001]

i just kind of realized this set up for the alien movies really relies on the protagonists not knowing anything about the aliens and also being compassionate enough to care bout their fellow crew members. because what if just after the face hugger room scene they just shot him in the face along with the face hugger and called off the mission to get out before something else went wrong?

[@morganleanderblake678]

This is a fanTASTic explained. Every other video I've watched on this is just hung up on the bad callbacks and have nothing to say about the way they tried to at least work at making the lore more consistent.

[@H2Mass1]

Wow, I'm working on this movie right now too!

[@Grayson2099]

Solid movie, definitely want to see a sequel.

[@JStarrJuwan]

HE’S BACK!!! Foundflix 👊😎💯

[@1800mexicano]

Oh no, a gambling sponsor lmao Thats not good

[@CuccoTheCoo]

I thought there would be a huge fight between a Morphed Kay and the Final Xeno, then it would have been her baby that Rayne and Andy had to contend with.

[@Cowboy_kidd]

Dude I really wanted to see that acid blood scene with the gravity going on and off and on and off. Like some sort of malfunction. Would have been nuts.

[@josephlavers7608]

I watched it last night absolute baller timing man

[@Triviata84]

Perfect timing! Only just watched this film last week! It’s amazing. If anyone is wondering whether to watch it, it’s a return to form for the series. PS - agree with the “on the nose” comment about some of the referencing. A touch heavy-handed at times, but I’ll excuse it!

[@procye]

Funnily enough, even though I enjoyed Romulus, I ended up recommending for friends to go into it as a plain horror fan rather than Alien fan. It does feel very separate...but not in a bad way!

[@karenmatos8403]

Please do a few shows: grotesquerie, from and teacup! They are great, we need some of your theories..love your input movie wise❤

[@roostercogburn8700]

Big chap was blown to pieces by decompression in the first book

[@nominasir8334]

I love your ending explained video, plz do for The Substance 2024
