Aliens - MOVIE REACTION!!

[@codyt821]

The fact that the Xenomorphs knew how to cut the power to the facility was always so terrifying to me, it added this extra layer of fear to know they could be not only mindless killing machines, but smart and coordinated enough to know exactly how to cut them off from everything.

[@Kritacul]

This is up there of one of the greatest sequels of all time.

[@firebladenut]

This, empire and T2 I think are the 3 sequels better than the originals.

[@nicktechnubyte1184]

And the story behind the making of Aliens is just as amazing!

[@edinalewis4704]

This is up there as one of the greatest movies of all time!!

[@elliotblabla]

Shrek 2 has entered the chat.

[@choekyiscuffedskeleton7471]

And intros cause wtf 😂

[@CyberkillGames]

The Special Edition version of this film is one of my all-time favorite films.

[@RobClark_theelusivefish]

I never cease to get a laugh at 6:12 when Ripley grabs the papers "this this bullshit you think is so important" and the hand comes up from the bottom left of the frame to try and grab papers back. I gotta think that was at Cameron's direction, and it's both hilarious and seals the realism of the moment.

[@Dystopia1111]

James Horner was in peak form on this soundtrack. The score definitely gives many of the same vibes as his awesome 'Wrath of Khan' score and it works perfectly with every scene. Side note : the ping of the motion detector is the single most anxiety-inducing sound effect in movie history.

[@alansonoda]

Paul Reiser was SO good in this. The scummy sales person role was such a nice departure from his loveable "Mad About You" role.

[@RandomNPC001]

He was so good in fact, that he`s mom called him after watching the movie to yell at him for being so evil to those people! 🤣🤣

[@noteliassmith]

Of all the ways for this video to start, Aaron explaining rizz and mewing to Eric was not what I expected

[@MaYhEmJaYy101]

😂😂😂

[@HughMungz]

Sad reality

[@xKaninen]

When Ripley is shooting inside the hive, and its just quick cuts of the ammo going down, aliens exploding and her determined angry face flashing from the gun is such a great scene. The absolute pure rage in her face is crazy.

[@Depth217]

The way me and my siblings were clenched when we saw the walls move. My little brother was like 10 at the time and he said with fear, “they ARE the walls 😱”

[@thedarkknight2221]

To this day, no other film franchise has ever started off in pure horror, then become almost pure action in the sequel, and both of them are considered widely as two of the greatest films ever made.

[@dimilp1308]

you guys shoud have watched the extended version/edition!

[@Arrows]

Definitely.

[@BatmanFan76]

“Game over, man! Game over!” - Bill Paxton

[@ronaldeliascorderocalles]

"Hey, Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?" "No, have you?" The best 80s movies burn ever

[@megabyte1778]

"Egg pooper" is a brilliant description.

[@gameoverman3673]

I had no idea this was coming. This film is one of the true long standing greats of cinema. With the ultimate "final girl" blind wave...You've made me a happy man today ❤

[@alancoll1987]

Oh my. Eric has not seen this. This is a disturbance in the force. That has now been corrected. :D

[@xKaninen]

Missed oppertunity by not watching the extended cut. Its so much better.

[@Arrows]

Absolutely

[@seiaka]

Ripley's daughter not being mentioned in the theatrical cut completely ruins it for me. That detail is SO important for her relationship with Newt.

[@Depth217]

Eric’s righteous anger at Gorman’s incompetence and hypocrisy at the start and then Burke’s soulless treachery was a big highlight of the reaction 😂😂

[@stardestroyeruk7025]

Now this should be FUN!..... Aliens! one of those rare occasions when a sequel is as good if not a little better than the first!

[@DanGamingFan2406]

This is still one of the greatest sequels ever. Easily on par with he original, IMO. Tons of great new characters, fantastic lore additions, and a truly epic final battle.

[@jasonl8681]

The influence of this film cannot be understated, pretty much 60-70% of the first Halo game most notably was inspired by, or a direct reference to this. But nothing, NOTHING builds tension like the steadily increasing pitch of the motion tracker in this film.

[@miguelsantos-cd9tu]

Aliens is still one of best sequels next to The Godfather 2, The Dark Knight, Terminator 2 and Shrek 2.

[@Dystopia1111]

And Highlander 2🙃

[@Depth217]

Hell yeah! I love that there are so many great sequels. Others I love including in the list are Toy Story 2, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and Across the Spiderverse.

[@Marzipanilla]

'Just give me a whole lot of guns and send me in' Fun fact, Sigourney Weaver was doing a lot of anti-gun advocacy at the time she agreed to this film and when they handed her a gun on set she went 'uh. What'. Had to have a lot of talks to get her to agree to use weapons in the film.

[@joelpabalinas7457]

James telling her would be like, you're not shooting at people, you're shooting Aliens

[@alexandervelez9507]

now she’s completely fine with guns. she says she plays gta with her family and let fortnite use her likeness. lol

[@PapaMak14]

Now we need Eric or Aaron to play Alien Isolation

[@bobafettish660289]

I think Aaron has already played it on stream.

[@anthonyhudak9363]

Easily one of the best sequels ever! Some fun facts: So this never was explained in the film but the original script revealed why the colonists never detected the derelict before being told to investigate it. When LV-426 was being terraformed, the atmospheric processors installation ended up causing the ship go underground or sink into a valley and weakened the warning signal. Another fun fact is during the knife scene, Bill Paxton didn't know he would get involved and was genuinely terrified. His finger ended up getting nicked and they actually had to re shoot it. Finally, James Cameron actually wrote the first template for this film's script simultaneously while working on The Terminator. Not only that but he was also writing the screenplay for Rambo: First Blood Part 2 and ended up dividing the amount of time he had in each day and dedicated it to each script. He ended up completing both screenplays in 3 months at about 120 pages each.

[@paratus04]

In the supposedly cannon game Alien Isolation you find out that a salvage crew finds the Nostromo’s black box and it leads them to LV-426. There’s a great interlude in the game where you get to explore the derelict Engineer ship and see the Space Jockey just like in Alien. During that section of the game you turn off the warning broadcast that brought the Nostromo. The salvage crew wanted to prevent anyone from finding their claim. This happens 15 years after Alien because Ripleys daughter from the deleted scene in Aliens is the protagonist of the story and she’s 26. So it happens before Hadleys Hope is founded Without the broadcast the colony would never have found the ship on their own.

[@RandomNPC001]

You can tell Bungie took "heavy inspiration" from this movie when they designed Halo.

[@jyrxz4945]

No they didn’t 😭

[@joelpabalinas7457]

James Cameron really knows how to make a Sequel better than the First movie

[@Dystopia1111]

I can't wait for Titanic 2.🙃

[@joelpabalinas7457]

@@Dystopia1111 LMAO

[@Sentient_Zee]

It still shocks me how so many people still haven’t seen this movie.

[@erikjohnson3859]

Romulus is actually really, really good. You guys need to complete this series and watch it eventually.

[@JamesDatWork]

Bill Paxton, the only man who has been killed by the trifecta: Killed by a Predator, killed by a Terminator and killed by an Alien.

[@cruelangel8689]

Not a bad thought about using a team of synthetics... they did that in one of the Dark Horse Comics stories.

[@Amazing_Amy_W]

They did it in one of the new Marvel ones recently too. It's definitely an interesting concept that I think could be more fully explored.

[@edwardosquidawardo]

Game over man, game over!!!

[@magicalmrwest]

Why would you put the air lock controls on that side? That’s what happens when you’ve got a society of Burke’s in charge.

[@terryandjoe]

Wait, wtf?!?! Oh Gods, we are in for an awesome ride. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think Sigourney got nominated for an Oscar for this film and was the first person to get one when it came to action/sci-fi.

[@cruelangel8689]

Correct, she got nominated for Best Actress

[@govinddas7876]

Oh my god this intro is amazing lmao

[@Talisguy]

"With a lot of modern sci-fi, the actors look like they don't know what they're looking at." I understand the Star Wars prequels aren't "modern" sci-fi now, but this was a huge problem on those films. Not only was basically everything CGI, but the actors were given very little direction on what they were doing, what they should be looking at, some of them didn't even know _where_ to look. Behind the scenes shots of Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith show actors on crash mats totally surrounded by greenscreen and tech, and they have to act like it's an immersive environment with basically no direction and no idea what it'll look like or where anything is.

[@Jonno92100]

15:49 We have come full circle. Community had the Aliens Halloween reference and now we have the Community reference in Aliens.

[@Zaku_Meister]

Should have watched the Special Edition. Even James Cameron says it's the intended version. Also there is a deleted scene where Ripley discovers Burke cocooned in the hive and she gives him a grenade to kill himself.

[@Carnivius_Prime]

I'd seen this loads on TV and VHS/DVD but last year I finally got to see it at a cinema and it is absolutely fantastic seeing Ripley in the Power Loader fighting the Alien Queen on a huge screen. :D

[@John_Locke_108]

Reaction over, man. RIP Bill Paxton.

[@Depth217]

Aliens is a terrific film, a great expansion of the first film’s lord that keeps the faithful horror while also doing something new so as to not try to fruitlessly try to recapture the original’s magic.

[@robertwsaul]

Is it only the extended edition that has the turrets? They are basically iconic to aliens at this point and it sucks to miss them.

[@TenSevenTN]

"Hudson stepped up!... Oh no, he stepped up."

[@Pantsman1973]

Aliens is the perfect movie. Watching it with you guys is like watching it for the first time.

[@Timmayytoo]

So... Alien3. Taken on it's own it's a an interesting film, but as a sequel to this film, it's one of the biggest misfires in Hollywood history.

[@blindfire3167]

I'll be real....after speaking to my 12 and 11 year old cousins...I really needed the explanation in the beginning because I had no damn clue what they were saying and definitely didn't care enough to look it up.

[@dragonicus2614]

33:24 Yeah man, lets feed him to the aliens

[@Yezhanium]

Gee, whiz! That's one of the best sci-fi films of all time. Glad that it was over after it and no more sequels were done after.

[@TheJeap00x]

Listen to Eric's laugh at half speed and tell me that isn't the Predators laugh. 💀

[@jpa5038]

Watch Alien 3. It's worth it for Charles S. Dutton alone.

[@tiger1chu]

And they all lived happily ever after...

[@fabianmorales4203]

Special edition is an improvement on this movie. But still one of best flicks ever

[@GoogleVideoMan]

The original: Meh The directors cut: Amazing!

[@vorpalrobot]

a-holes and elbows are all he wants to see, as in get moving.

[@lukejohnson2316]

You guys need to do a reaction in a movie theater, camera at your back a la Mystery Science Theater 3000 style.

[@hallgeirhansen9124]

Is it possible to be a movie-person and NOT have seen Aliens?!!!

[@mimic1984]

Yep. I didn't see the Alien movies until 2021. (Excluding Covenant because a friend wanted to see it in theaters.) Also, I've only watched the first 2 Terminators a few weeks ago. Still have yet to see any of the Rocky movies or any of the Rambo movies (excluding Last Blood, because once again, someone I knew wanted to see it in the theatres.) I've see. Hundreds if not thousands of movies, and some of these classics I'm just now getting to.

[@penguincgm489]

Never seen Eric this mad at a character before🤣

[@mrwatermelo50]

Yes they take DNA from the host. I watched an hour long Video with different Xenomorph types after coming home from the new Romulus. There are queen face huggers those make queens.

[@robertbunting3117]

In an interview Paul Reiser talked about bringing his mom and when his character finally got killed she very audibly said 'Good' rofl, now that's a hated character

[@RJ730RoyalKings4]

🔥🔥🔥

[@ttt2080]

Burke is a great movie villain.

[@Doverkin]

One of my top 3 all time films this is, Also Burke i didnt realise first time watching is also in Stranger Things 😁

[@Z1Blue]

The second is the best one of them all but number 1 is still important. I think the aliens are terraforming the plant to suit their needs you know hot and humid.

[@user-wb8eh6lf5n]

I heard there is a deleted scene where Ripley finds Burke cocooned.

[@Trafalgar3390]

yeah, it's on youtube

[@soulstealer82]

bill paxton, the only man to be killed by a predator, terminator and an alien

[@johnmonk66]

The next one is good too. Alien vs. guys with no real weapons.

[@EalainEP]

So much reactors dont watch tge extended cut and it sucks. The acknowledgement that ripley had a daughter who died a few years before she awakens adds a super huge layer to this story

[@scramblesish]

Can’t believe Eric has never seen this 😮

[@alexandervelez9507]

please continue the franchise and make your own opinions on them. i personally think there’s things to enjoy about every film.

[@Jaketherobonrd]

Yeah The Alien Franchise i find Anxiety deducing that I cannot watch them honestly. I remember i tried watching the first movie I couldn’t watch it because it was really freaking me out and had suffered severe anxiety for months. So no surprise but Alien is one of the horror movies I cannot watch. But im with Eric more a Predator fan.

[@BenTanner92]

If you guys ever do an alien 3 reaction watch the assembly cut version. Trust me

[@tinblue]

Bit of a fail not watching the Special Edition

[@maxtblitz]

Far too many reactors are missing out watching this theatrical version instead of the far superior Special Edition

[@texting7856]

For me , I can't see this movie the same way after watching neocranium's video on it😅😆

[@elunegracee]

in the alien commentary video someone asked eric which did he see more, alien or aliens, and he said aliens, so whats up with the first time reaction thing?

[@missingeuphoria]

Pro Tip: Do not eat while watching this.

[@millierockin1949]

fun fact/ kinda but not really spoiler: i guess its not a *direct* sequel anymore with Romulus now

[@KingKong_7]

😮

[@mrgadd]

Does this mean an alien romulus reaction will be coming? coool

[@dazuk2630]

Why on earth didn’t you watch the special edition!!!?

[@Colejones9505]

Did they do a reaction to alien though?

[@mimic1984]

No, I think they've already seen it.

[@davidabercrombie5427]

They said it was a commentary not a reaction

[@diegoayala900]

Pls tell me this is the version where Ridley lost his daughter

[@diegoayala900]

Dammit :(

[@wompa70]

It's easy to forget Alien killed off the famous actors. Sigourney Weaver was still fairly new to audiences in 1979. "Whatever that was" was a big black trash bag stretched over a frame.

[@shanedoyle4799]

Kinda mad that you've never seen aliens before like what

[@thinfv8704]

First! Can’t wait to watch this!

[@KhalilC17]

now... for everyones sake, do not make him watch the rest lmao

[@jacobhogan3208]

4 MINUTESS

[@gladosturret1746]

The name of the third Alien movie does not matter because you should never watch it. This movie is the end of Ripley’s story. That’s all you need to know.

[@morbidangel2424]

Aliens 3 is like robocop 3 and Beverly hills cops 3 still worth a watch but nowhere near as good the 1st two films

[@JohnRogersCurrentlyStuding]

High water mark for the Alien franchise ... every subsequent movie was worse than this

[@directorsmiso6711]

First

[@noahschnieders7314]

I know I might be the only one but I didn't enjoy this movie at all ^^

[@DarioPaniagua-nb3pf]

19:40 hey Eric, I saw that lol
