ALIEN (The Perfect Organism) EXPLORED

[@shainewhite2781]

It won Best Visual Effects. It made $200 million dollars at the box office. It put Sigourney Weaver on the map. It spawned 3 sequels, 2 spinoff films, 2 crossover films, toys, comic books, video games, graphic novels. Its been regarded as one of the scariest motion pictures ever made.

[@benf6822]

[@wrnjxn7131]

The crews in both prequel films were deliberately handpicked to be incompetant unstable labrat lemmings by WY to gather data and xeno assets through cleanup crews salvaging 'accidents', rather than the Nostromo gang who were a random crew of relatively level-headed and able miners who just stumbled on xeno contact.

[@royalecrafts6252]

Kind of, a crew wouldnt be that stupid not to put the facehugger guy into stasis so he wont compromised the life of others

[@wrnjxn7131]

​@royalecrafts6252 *spoilers* . . . The infected in Prometheus are deliberately kept unfrozen as overseen by David acting on Weyland's orders, then the first infected in Covenant is made so by a pathogen rather than facehugger, which the few remaining crew members who discover him barely have time to even realise before shoving him into the medical quarantine room. You don't just instantly freeze any patient showing any kind of symptom upon visiting an unknown alien planet, and the Covenant crew had absolutely no awareness of xenomorphs or how to deal with them. They don't know what the Prometheus crew learned. Then the pathogen breeds so quickly that within minutes of being put in the room and before being able to be assessed by the skeleton crew trying to contact the scouts, it's already prime to burst. The rest of the crew didn't even have time to get far from the ship, before scrambling back. Then the priest doesn't even make it back to any crew members before bursting.

I've said for many years that I only need to see the film up to the discovery of the space-jockey. Everything that follows is just the icing on the cake. I find the Nostromo, both exterior and interior design, endlessly fascinating. The customised look to the crews outfits that convey a sense of individualism. As someone who plays a certain online multiplayer game Alien is a constant source of inspiration.

I love these sorts of analysis videos esp of my favorite movies. And being lucky enough to have seen in theater in 1979, thanks to my school friend "You gotta see this!" type of reaction to it. And I want to emphasize how vastly different Alien was from all the movies that came before it during the uninspired '70's. Recall maybe 90% of movies pre-1980 were long, slow, full of inexpensive-to-shoot dialogue, boring filler and "the plot" - and "Alien" was as different from those films as chalk and cheese. As a result, for the first viewing I was a bit uncomfortable with the much faster pace and complete absence of filler so at several points I was unable to fully process story events as they happened. Being used to the slow pace of story-telling of the times, a movie like "Alien", where every single scene is significant, and needs to be put in context almost right away, took a little getting used to, and it wasn't until the 3rd viewing that I really was able to take all of it in.
