The sequel, Aliens, is one of the greatest sequels ever made. While the crew of the Nostromo are technically astronauts, they're more space truckers than explorers or scientists.

[@samolofsson2401]

I don't think of it as a alien film, it lost the horror element and became more of a action/war movie.

[@lonelyboy1977]

@@samolofsson2401 The fact that Cameron didn't make a rehash of the first film is the reason why Aliens was a success, but every other sequel has been garbage (in a futile attempt to rehash the "horror" of Alien).

They're astronauts, but space travel is so common that they're basically long haul truckers, or aeroplane crew, or working on a cargo ship. That kind of thing. They're not exploring a bold new frontier, they're doing delivery/transport jobs in well worn territory.

[@Cyberrat629]

I would say its the opposite: they're longhaul truckers in space who because the tech and space travel is so common, they are qualified to be in space and it is quite normal.

The theme of this series is: no one listens to Ripley. And everyone should listen to Ripley.

[@tritiumH3]

The only good ideas in this movie came from Ripley, Lambert and Parker. Don't let it in, don't go in the scary thing, freeze the guy before something happens. And none of them get listened to.

[@LeeCarlson]

The "hull" of a spacecraft (or even a watercraft) is the outer skin, which keeps the exterior environment out of the craft so its occupants don't die. A breached hull on a spacecraft would indicate a hole through which breathable atmosphere will leak.

"I hate milk" Me: "Oh boy. This is gonna be good."

[@i_love_rescue_animals]

Actually, the actor, Ian Holm who played Ash DID hate milk!! The final scene of him where just his head is talking and milk is coming out of his mouth was absolutely awful for him to shoot.

[@Kane52630]

The first sequel is right up there with the original. Its directed by James Cameron

[@origami-unicorn]

I saw this in a packed cinema when it was originally released in 1979 (in the UK). One poor woman made it through the chest-burster scene but finally lost it when the Ash-head woke up on the table and gushed milk out of its mouth - she fled up the aisle and into the lobby, gagging and retching, and that was the last we saw of her! 🤮 Fun fact - I have actually worn the hands from the alien suit used in the movie. At the time I worked for a magazine publishing company that specialized in computing, electronics, and video titles. I was on the editorial staff of an electronics mag, and our sister title Video Today did a promotion when the VHS of Alien was released: the studio lent them some props, including the hands. Basically they are a stiff coarse-weave fabric glove with the alien skin moulded on in latex, there's a slit at each wrist to make them easier to slide your hands in, then you pull the edges of the slits tight around your wrist and close them with velcro. Movie magic!

[@officialcassreacts]

so cool!!!

Interesting. It’s fun getting to know new things about how Giger made the thing.

He wasn't sweating milk, Ash is just a machine so it was just either synthetic blood or some kind of hydraulic fluid.

[@scwotz]

I prefer the term artificial person myself.

[@Ultimateutfan316]

Most people dont realize the answer.It was milk coming out of him.Hes a synthetic so cant process liquids.If you watch the full movie you see Ash drinking milk earlier when speaking to Ripley about letting Kane on board, so pretty sure when she slammed him against the wall it triggered an outage in him causing that milk to come out, same when he got hit with the fire extinguisher

[@Mr.Ekshin]

@@Ultimateutfan316 - Ever seen synthetic silicone oils? Or silicone heat sink compound? They're typically white or off-white in appearance. Ash is a synthetic silica-based "life" form, and the silicon oil that is his 'blood' is more for lubrication and coolant, as well as being a good electrical insulator to protect his vital circuits.

[@Ultimateutfan316]

@@Mr.Ekshin Yes but I don’t think that’s what they were going for in the 70s🤣He was literally drinking milk hours before.I know online there are a bunch of mixed reviews so just giving mine

[@brash_and_sassy]

👀 that’s a bit of a stretch. It definitely looks early 80s. And the sound quality is tough. But this movie is a masterpiece in spite of those things.

[@krissanders987]

[@vytallicaq.6881]

If you haven't yet seen the Terminator movies, DO see them. The first one is GREAT. And somehow, the second one is even GREATER. It will help prepare your mind for our scary A.I. future. 😬 "Carrie" is a great scary movie too. It was the first screen adaptation of a Stephen King novel.

[@AMortalDefiant]

The hull is the outer skin on a ship/vessel. It's the part that touches the water in a seafaring vessel, or space in a spacefaring vessel. A hull breach means someone is about to have a very bad day!

[@richardedgerton1852]

Giger's art is full of such images and you probably have seen it somewhere, so that's why the alien seemed familiar.

[@vendelayindustries]

"-I hate the silence". Great reaction! You know, something I just realized is that in the movies of today there is not that much silence; That makes many movies of the past to stand out; Silence, one of the most terrifying elements of great movies. The silence makes you unsure of whatever is going to happen next. Another great movie in the same genre; The thing (1982).

As a kid, the first time I saw this, I was already stressed by Dallas getting whacked in the vents. So when Ash's head got knocked off, I pretty much lost it. A well-crafted film.

[@sitebstudios]

The liquid that looks like milk is the android's blood. He was malfunctioning, so he was leaking fluid/blood.

[@Mr.Ekshin]

Silica based oils... a great thermal coolant/heat redistribution medium, a decent electrical insulator to protect the circuits, and an amazingly good synthetic lubricant for his moving parts. It was actually a VERY scientifically sound choice for the film. They must have had some really sharp technical consultants. Most of what you see in the film is way ahead of its time as far as technological accuracy.

[@antonioloma2327]

"Aliens" has a different tone but it's also a great sequel. It also answers a few of your questions. The duology has the fans divided about which is the better film, but they're clearly well above the rest of the franchise. I'd recommend you to watch it. And about games, arounnd or just after watching Aliens you may play "Alien Isolation" that (without spoilers) is set between the 2 films.

[@tobiahvega7611]

I’ve missed your movie reactions!!! (Not a huge series person) This was fantastic! Always a fun one 😊

[@kevinburton3948]

9:25 As a fan of this film for over 40 years this is what I think- The "blue mist" shown before is actually a kind of "early warning sensor" much like when a spider feels something tugging on its web. This alerts the eggs that there is a possible host nearby. So the closest eggs to the host begin to "wake up." The most mature egg hatches/opens allowing the facehugger to strike. At least that's my humble take.

[@gravedigger8414]

Loved your reaction to this timeless classic. 😇 Definately watch at least the next 2 in the franchise.

[@Hydrogenblonde]

The "milk" in Ash is hydraulic fluid and coolant. A similar thing is used in machine tools in industry, it is oil dissolved in water, it is called "Solvac".

[@nodak81]

Still my favorite movie of all time. I saw it on TV for the first time when I was nine years old and home alone at night.

[@unstrung65]

Saw "Alien" when it was released in theaters , and because I had a special place in my heart for the "monster' movies of the 50's , ( Them , The Thing , The Day The Earth Stood Still , etc ) , this was the second movie I saw that was an ' A ' movie ( the other being " Forbidden Planet" ) . It was absolutely amazing to watch it upon release . Your reaction was excellent , and the scenes were clear and full screen ! I know the beginning set up is not a thing that current movies are good at . The audience wanting "immediate" action from the first frame . Probably due to the shorter attention spans of the younger generations. H.R. Giger designed the Alien and the "space jockey" . I would like to point out that Ridley Scott was the main reason this movie was made . He had a feeling for visuals and pacing . Though most people prefer "Aliens" ( the second movie which you will undoubtedly watch ) . I will always give the first movie the most credit . Thanks for your "Reaction ' !

[@suddenlyfrogs1906]

Apart from the first sequel (Aliens) I think you'd like Invasion of the Body Snatchers (70s version, there's like 5 lol) Non-sci fi horror I'd recommend TWO HANDS an Australian Heath Ledger DARK comedy. If you or anyone reading this is a Ledger fan and hasn't seen TWO HANDS? There is something wrong/missing from your personal filmography :) Personally I enjoy the original Alien, Aliens Alien 3 trilogy. I understand and respect peoples issues with the third film, or DID until the later sequels came along, because compared to them it's a masterpiece. Oh and thanks for being an honest reactor, Way too many are disingenuous. :)

[@Drudenfusz]

The second film, Aliens, is also great, many say it is even better than the first. The third film still worked for me, but many already dislike it. Resurrection is in my opinion just bad, watched it once and still regret it, nothing redeeming about it. The prequels Prometheus and covenant where okay-ish, expanding the world and exploring some ideas that had been only hinted at before, but they have some issues. I heard good things about Romulos, but have not yet watched it.

[@somerotter]

Definitely watch the next one, Aliens. After that it’s diminishing returns, though the latest is fair.

[@mdroid7755]

Bit of a lore dump in addition to answering questions... this is set in the year 2122 and by this point humans have ventured, and colonized, up to 70 lightyears away from Earth. 2:37 Since leaving Thedus they've been traveling about 5 months. Thedus is about 60 lightyears from Earth and the Zeta II Reticuli are 39, so they were actually only about 1/3 into their trip back. 4:05 Aliens wouldn't have to know SOS specifically. It's a simple repeating signal, just enough to catch anyone's attention. Contractual obligations aside, the crew just draw the wrong conclusion about it. 4:20 What? 5:36 A rocky moon (later to be known as LV-426, "Acheron") orbiting a gas giant called Calpamos. 6:18 Maintaining contact with the outside crew isn't nothing. 9:34 Root-like tendrils at the base of the eggs trigger them to open when stimulated, like when someone is walking nearby. 10:22 No, that was Kane's helmet. 10:58 Not like panicking would get them anywhere. 11:04 No, it already came out of an egg LOL Keeping him alive while implanting an embryo, yes. 14:06 I always find it weird the subtitles change "Thedus" to "Datas". 15:50 For your procreation question you're not far off on the life cycle, all considered. 24:32 I'm actually glad you didn't immediately become suspicious of Ash like a lot of reactors. Through an objective lens his actions before being exposed are all pretty rational other than him just coming across as a non-people person. Anyway, Weyland-Yutani, the company the crew work for, likes to regularly use human-real androids for espionage and covert missions to promote their own goals. 27:32 It was blocking her only path to the shuttle so she was trying to give herself more time. 33:06 It wasn't milk leaking from Ash. Androids have a white liquid circulatory fluid that serves as their version of blood. Definitely watch Aliens. There's a small detail in the background of one of the scenes that, without being a spoiler, hints at why the company may have chosen the crew of the Nostromo for the mission to collect a specimen in the first one. Basically, projected dossiers about all the crew members reveal that they were all deficient in some regard or otherwise had a reason to be on the Weyland-Yutani shit list. Dallas had previously lost his pilot license for questionable judgement that led to losing a vessel. Kane had been a promising medical student until he dropped out of university, arguably squandering his potential by becoming a commercial flight officer. Lambert had only served on the Nostromo but she was already flagged in evaluations for severe anxiety issues and deemed unsuited for service with larger crews. Parker was given intelligence boosting medications by the company, but only put in mediocre effort in his work and had issues with authority. Brett was a former criminal, sponsored by WY for a work program. Like Parker, his skill evaluations never showed much improvement and his status would've been up for review if he made it back to Earth. Lastly, Ripley had a child and tried to have her contract terms adjusted so that she could spend more time at home. She was considered a troublemaker since she was forcing the issue into arbitration that also would've been decided when she got back. Her daughter, Amanda, is the player perspective in the game Alien: Isolation, which takes place 15 years after the "Nostromo Incident", in 2137.

The Alien has an exoskeleton. Creatures with exoskeletons, like insects, tend to expand quite a bit when they shed. They suck in air to expand their new exoskeleton as far as they can so they have room to grow from within.

[@axlm.808]

Fun fact, this movie wouldn't be made without the fail of Alejandro Jodorowski's adaptation of Dune The lead of Special effects department, Dan O'Bannon, went through a mental breakdown following the cancelation of the project and he wrote what will be the script of Alien while recovering When the script went to production, O'Bannon suggested some people he worked with on Dune. Among them, Jean "Moebius" Giraud and H.R. Giger. Moebius worked on the costumes and props and Giger on the Derelict ship, his pilot and the Aliens

The presence of the cst is an alusion tobthe practice of bringing pets on ships, especially cats. They served two functions: as the crew pet it helped morale, and they also hunted the vermin that would infest a ship, thus helping maintain heath in the ship which is extremeky important when living in close spaces for long stretches of time .

[@treadstone1138]

Okay I hate to be the one to say it but Alien is a movie that shows and doesn't tell. You really have to pay attention to it. But unfortunately because it's a reaction video half the timesy you are missing stuff because you were talking to the camera. Most of the questions you're asking are answered on the screen but you're missing them. I'd recommend rewatching it without the camera on just so you can actually see the entire movie without distraction. It's definitely worth it.

The alien loves to play hide and seek with a little peek-a-boo.

[@bensmith1689]

Fun fact: A single alien can procreate. In the directors cut of the film Ripley encounters Dallas and Parker cocooned up, being used as an egg and host for (presumably) a Queen alien facehugger. This was also why it was not doing much in the shuttle. It was dying. Its whole purpose is to acquire breeding stock and then die. The cat was too small to be used so that is why it left it.

[@johntree6425]

The first was my favourite, but many say the sequel is better. The well rounded characterisations and well crafted pacing/suspense is why I think the first one is better. You actually care for the characters, which is rare. The second one is more of an action/thriller, but a great one. Good reaction

[@Clambamthankyoumam]

Aliens must be watched immediately after Alien if only for three reasons: it’s one of the greatest sequels of all time, Ridley’s at her most badass throughout the movie, and for the late Bill Paxton aka Private William Hudson and that classic line of his “That’s it game over man, game over!”.

Most living creatures, at least on Earth, do not have skeletons; the majority of animals are invertebrates, meaning they lack a backbone and typically have an external skeleton (exoskeleton) if any at all, while only vertebrates (animals with backbones) possess internal skeletons (endoskeletons). Best. Mike.

[@balrog92000]

4:53 The hull is a term used for the skin of any vessel. If it is a seagoing vessel and you breach the hull, then water rushes in and usually the ship sinks. On a spaceship, it lets all of the air inside the ship exit into space (which is in vacuum) explosively. If the ship is on a planet with pressure, there might not be explosive decompression but your air then mixes with the air of the planet, which can be really bad if the air has toxic properties or has no oxygen.

If you do consider watching Alien though - make sure you watch the Directors cut - it contains a scene that is sort of core to Ripley's motivation in the movie - it's a crime it was removed by the studio (though the rest of stuff in the director's cut is kinda padding).

It kind of bugs me because the directors cut adds back some of Ripley’s motivation, but it also doesn’t build the suspense quite as well.

@@wackyvorlon Yup - I agree - they could just put that one particular scene near the beginning back in and that would have been perfect.

The hull is the main body or framework of a ship it's also a city here in the UK 😃

Nothing can match seeing this for the first time, when you're 14, in a dark theater with a big screen (very big by today's standards), without knowing anything about what happens.
