True, however she did express interest in returning for a possible reboot of sorts, thanks to an excellent story idea by Chappie director, Neill Blomkamp. His idea would pick up after this movie, years later (explaining the actors ages) and would totally ignore Alien 3 and later (which I and a lot of other people would be 100% on board with). But, as soon as this idea got published (I think it was on Neill's Instagram page) Ridley Scott started making noise that he wanted to make some prequels and that was that. Now that those have not been as well received as the studio had hoped, maybe there's hope for Neill's idea! But, they don't have unlimited time to do it! Sigourney Weaver is 72!

[@miriam8376]

It's funny how different people's reactions can be to the same movie. I hate this version, lol. I feel like the inclusion of the mother-daughter relationship trashes Ripley's character. First, it makes Ripley seem like an absolutely terrible mother that she left her own young kid behind to go into space for work. Even if space travel has become more routine in the future to the point where she's not gambling with her life despite someone depending on her, she's still leaving her kid behind for months or even years at a time, because in the first movie, they're in hypersleep, and she's no rookie on her first trip out. She's been leaving her kid behind a lot, for long periods of time. That's a choice that makes her downright unlikable to me. Second, it makes her bond with Newt seem more like grief and guilt than a heroic amount of compassion and responsibility toward others. It kinda implies Newt is the replacement kid, and frankly, it makes Ripley seem a little unhinged at the end when she goes after Newt instead of determined.

True fact. He's now a legend in movie history.

[@scottstevens7639]

Just to clarify, humans were never food for the xenomorphs. They were either hosts for procreation or simply organisms to be destroyed. Still terrifying either way.

[@donkfail1]

I agree that we never see them eat a human. But they would need some nourishment, both for energy and to build their bodies as they grow. Especially the queen as she need to produce all those eggs. Even a process where they absorb basic chemical compounds to create their tissue, like plants that take their carbon from the air, would require lots of energy. And as they grow and move much quicker than plants, this would need a huge energy input. Just basic laws of physics and chemistry, or the species would just deteriorate through entropy.

[@Osprey850]

​@@donkfail1 Also, we never see any corpses. That colony should've been littered with them. The xenomorphs couldn't have taken everyone to the hive because lots of humans had to have died in the fighting and they would've been useless for incubating chestbursters. It stands to reason that the xenomorphs ate them all eventually, whether it was after killing them in fights or after the chestbursters killed them.

[@thundermane362]

@@donkfail1 ​One fact that really annoyed me, and that no one I have ever seen discuss, is how these basic laws of physics and chemistry are totally ignored in the first movie. We only had one Xenomorph then and from that chest-bursting scene to its first kill as an adult, it grew to full size without ever eating anyone or anything. How the heck did that happen? Or am I remembering that incorrectly?

[@donkfail1]

@@thundermane362 No, you're right. They were dealing with a supernatural monster that couldn't be explained. Or perhaps Ash was secretly feeding it, to ensure it would survive it's first encounter with a human?

[@warhawkbm]

In Alien 3 the one that was there did actually feed on the convicts. It even pans to it nomming on one in a hallway and they try to lure it with a dead body in the lead mold but it grabs the body and runs back in the hallways. In the comics when a queen is on the scene, the drones switch from feeding first to live body storage for propagating the growth of the Hive. I even remember in a novel that the inner mouth was for penetrating armored prey to get to the tasty inner bits.

@Butterfly Lovely 2 nope. Alien and Terminator are less polished than their sequels but are far more raw, scary, and realistic. Despite T2 pushing the boundary on CGI VFX it definitely doesn't age well; epecially when compared to Jurassic Park, which came out only a few years later and whose CGI still holds up today. Compare to T1 which had amazing practical effects (including a few unnerving stop-motion segments), a dark and oppressive atmosphere, a balls-to-the-wall synth soundtrack that was abandoned nearly wholesale in the sequels, and outstanding performances to boot. With how low of a budget T1 was shot with, it had no right being as good as it was. Course, this is just my opinion.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

The "Get away from her, you Bitch!" moment was the equivalent moment for the 80s of when Captain America wielded Thor's hammer in Avenger's Endgame.

[@herrzimm]

1986 and Ripley firmly placed herself at the top of the list of "Don't f*** around with this woman". (Sarah Conner is number 2) So happy you saw the "extended version" as it provides more context than the theatrical version. And that Jonesy "hiss" is my favorite recorded cat hissing sound EVER. Fun fact: The movie was obviously nominated for a Special Effects Oscar. They provided ONE clip (The alien coming out of the water behind Newt) as the ONLY clip for "consideration". They won the award. Fun fat 2: Due to filming in Europe, the crew had really strict rules about breaks, hours of the day, and days of the week. Because things were "confrontational" between the European crew and American crew, there were some "angry vibes" during filming. BUT EVERYONE agreed that Newt needed to have a bit of fun on the set. So when it came to filming the "water slide" scene, the crew let the girl do it several times because she was having so much fun. (Think 5 or 6 times). Fun fact 3: Prior to the release of later films, 3 actors in this movie held the "honor" of being killed by both the Xenomorph and Terminator. (1. Hudson - A2 and T1. 2. Bishop - T1 and A2. 3. Vasquez - A2 and T2). (Bill Paxton was punk in opening of T1, Lance was cop in T1, and Janette was foster-mom in T2) (Hicks, Biehn, technically doesn't die from a Xeno) Fun fact 4: Shortly after filming Aliens and Terminator 2, Vasquez (Jenette Goldstein) moved out of acting and started selling specially designed bras for "larger breasted" woman. She was making so much money from her clothing line, that she retired from acting because she "didn't need the money".

RIP the legend Bill Paxton. "Game over, man!" He was in so many movies back in the 80s and 90s it's crazy. Some of my favorites are Tombstone (which also has Michael Beihn who plays Hicks in this.. also in Terminator), and Weird Science, for when you get into 80s John Hughes movies; Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off also must sees. Sigourney Weaver was also known for the Ghostbusters movies, which are a lot of fun.

[@EnvoyOfDestinyZ]

[@firstorder2450]

Don't forget "near dark" which had a lot of the cast reunited.

[@kaojinn]

I'm glad you went with the Extended edition of the movie. The theatrical cut skips over a few key scenes, like finding out that Ripley's daughter had passed away already. With the scene in the movie, it better establishes why she bonds so strongly with Newt. They needed eachother. I think my favorite scene of the movie is when Ripley first finds herself face to face with the queen. A lot of folks misinterpret Ripley as the first to break the silent bargain though. It plays out like this: Ripley realizes shes taken a wrong turn into the queen's egg chamber. The queen recognizes her as an intruder, and hisses as if to say "give me a good reason not to kill you". Ripley shows what her weapon can do, firing a gout of flame into the air. The queen screams an flails, definitely not enjoying the threat of fire. Ripley points it at the egg, and looks back at the queen to see if she understands. The queen waves off her drones, as if granting her passage out. As Ripley begins backing out of the room, the queen trys to catch them anyway by triggering an egg casing behind Ripley to wake and open, breaking the truce. Ripley gives the "Really?" look and punishes the queen for her treachery. Considering the queen was a giant puppet, manipulated by something like 8 people, they did an amazing job of conveying the emotion of the scene the way they did.

[@panpiper]

100%

[@herrzimm]

Not disagreeing completely, but I don't know if the queen can "trigger" an egg to hatch. Especially not as a means of treachery while Ripley was still holding the flame-thrower. I think it is the fact that the egg starting to hatch kind of made Ripley go "Well, these things are just going to do it all over again when I leave" and more or less went "f*** it" and burned them. The only real issue that I have with the Queen interaction is that it doesn't cover what other sources have covered. Her "hiss" to the drones wasn't one of simply "back off", but almost a terrorized scream to "back off" because the eggs were threatened. Some sources say that Xeno's have a bit of a physic ability, and if true, the drones would have "felt" the fear as well. Making Ripley's threat even more impressive as she basically "scared" 3 Xeno's at once.

[@kaojinn]

@@herrzimm I may be busting out the ol Jump-To-Conclusions Mat on the queen remotely triggering an egg to open, but with the mess of stringy tendrils on the floor that run between eggs and all over, I always took it as an extra layer of sensory perception for the queen in her lair. Like a spider web, or a mycilium network for fungus. The aliens are mysterious, who knows the full extent of their biology? :) As for Ripley being willing to leave the queen in peace if she let them go, that would have been the best outcome of their silent bargain. The entire facility the aliens lair was housed in was minutes away from a nuke-like detonation :). If she got out without fighting, even easier. Thrashing the egg chamber was a personal FU from Ripley to the source of her nightmares. :)

[@kimarhironso437]

The only thing I think is better about the SE over the TC is the establishing of Ripley having a daughter. Without it, Ripley going ultimate mom for newt feels kind of off. Otherwise I think the pacing is much better in the TC it doesn't give the audience a time to breathe. The sentry gun scenes especially kill the tension for me.

What's interesting about this franchize, each director brings different look into the movie (Ridley Scott - horror, Jim Cameron - action movie, David Fincher - well, David Fincher :-D and Jean-Pierre Jeunet - sci-fi comedy).

[@herrzimm]

Honestly, 3 had too many studio executives interfering with the movie. And that made things a bit muddy because of what they insisted on being cut and being added. 4 had really good ideas, they were just let down by a rather poor script and a production that felt more like "This is mandatory" than one of "This is a passion project". So, that kind of hurt. 3 and 4 aren't what I would call "bad" movies... but they really are "hit or miss" with audiences. And most of that is because of either poor choices or poor execution. So, I kind of consider them "forgettable" and not really a "true Alien movie" but more "cookie-cutter Alien movies". Alien vs Predator franchise is pure crap top to bottom. lol

I have a theory that they asked Ripley 'as an adviser' as to get her off world so when the news broke about the lost contact, she wouldn't be there to create a PR disaster or worse. They had all the records from Mother's previous contact but likely were missing information Ripley provided upon her return.

The xenomorphs don’t eat the humans, they’re used as more hosts. Burke, for instance, wasn’t actually killed or eaten, he was taken away to be used as a host. After the marines are first attacked, Hudson says they’re still alive.

10 Badass Marines went into those doors ahead of Ripley. She came out, dragging the last one.

[@MxQuist0812]

This is a year later for reactions to both film reactions, so I don't know if anyone will be reading this, but, when "Alien" came out, 43 years ago (I'm so old...}, Sci Fi aficionados at the time could not help but notice that it seemed to be an updated homage to the 1958 sci Fi horror classic, "It! The Terror from Beyond Space!", with "Daktari" star Marshall Thompson as the Captain of a spaceship threatened by an unexpected invasive murderous alien life form. Well, aren't they all? The plot and story lines are completely parallel. except for being in deep space, they got their murderous hitchhiker on Mars. Even the end, found the surviving members blowing the hatch to open space suffocate the the threat (instead of blowing out into space). And for a pre-60's movie, quite like "The Thing From Another World: 1951" , the first movie interpretation of John W. Campbell, Jr's novella. "Who Goes There?", the acting and direction made both nail-biters with plenty of slow, sometimes agonizing build ups, before unleashing honestly unnerving jump-scares. Although, the "Thing" movie was scattered with with not only genuinely believable dialog, but quite a lot of throw away humor that not only gave the audience some much need relief from the drama unfolding, but added to the believable interactions of the characters. You should give both a viewing, whether you react to them or not. You will appreciate them for what they are, from when they were made, in comparison to their modern interpretive retellings. BTW, the 80's "The Thing" was actually more accurate to the original novella, and John Carpenter used the same animated graphic font that was used in the 1951 movie. That had geeks like me won over right away. (yeah, I'm old...) I hope somebody reads this, but if not...

One of the few great sequels that I’d say was equally great. Definitely has held up all these decades. In the book when the creature were sticking people on the wall, they didn’t care if they broke their bones to adjust the body to the wall. Glad you could experience this Magy. Peace and love.

[@jillsherman9896]

Someone else may have mentioned it below, but there's a scene shot where Ripley is looking for Newt and stumbled upon Burke cocooned, already infected, and begging her to kill him. This is very much like a scene in the first movie that was shot and also cut where Ripley discovered Captain Dallas in the same situation. In the first movie, she kills Dallas. In the second, she passes Burke by, leaving him to his fate.

[@zogmorp]

This is one of those movies I can watch over and over and enjoy it every time and not get tired of it.

[@thedragonlee76]

Some fun facts...In the deleted scenes,it showed the colony before the Aliens took over and you saw Newts mom and dad and brother,Ripley wakes up after being rescued in a medical facility and she's shown a picture of her daughter that died of old age and the picture was Sigourney Weavers mother in real life.Then,the BIG Easter egg...at the very end of the credits after the movie ends,you can hear an alien egg hatching and it took years for people to discover it.

i said almost the same thing but it was cut out from the editor and it is not only in my full reaction, that they can be together now since both need someone

Glad you watched the extended cut. A lot who saw the theater cut never knew until years later that Ripley had a daughter.

Gamers Little Playground in here used the cutscenes me relevant gameplay to make a feature length movie out of the game. Pretty good

[@mikes5637]

Wtf are you talking about?!

[@Js-fr1ov]

@@mikes5637 ...if you go back to that scene, Ripley threatened to torch the pods by shooting fire in the air.. then the queen signaled the "guarding" aliens to back off (to let them leave). Suddenly a pod opened which means the face-hugger was coming to get them. Ripley looked at the queen and cocked her head realizing she "lied". In other words, Ripley knew they weren't going to be freed without a fight.

Pro tip...the knife trick. The director and Bishop didn't tell Hudson, he was going to have bishop put his hand over Hudson's, while the other actors held his arm and body, down!

[@cstephen98]

FYI. The Alien, Predator, Blade Runner franchise's as well as the movie Soldier franchises all occur in the same universe. The references by Reutger Hauer to the battles he fought are tattooed on the Kurt Russell's arm in Soldier and the 'improved models' sent to replace them are first generation Replicants. In the second Predator movie, you see an Alien skull mounted in their shop. There's other Easter eggs in those movies as well.

[@Camuska]

These movies and Terminator are the perfect examples of what is a good female protagonist. IT'S A CHARACTER FIRST. Ripley is not badass because she is a woman, she is a badass that happens to be a woman. That is how you write. Love her so much.

[@luvlgs1]

first-time reactors should always see the theatrical release first. that's the version the artists who created the film wanted you to see. scenes were cut for a reason. extended versions are for fans who've already seen the movie 10 times and want to see more.

[@tsogobauggi8721]

Yeah, exactly. It is sad that all reactors watch of all the movies some new or longer version and not the real movie. :(

[@jorgencedmer424]

"the artists who created the film"? You mean the studio bosses who for commercial reasons told the director the movie was too long? Don't get me wrong, the theatrical cut of Aliens is awesome, but the special edition is what the director wanted.

[@herrzimm]

Normally I would agree with you. But this is a situation where the extended version (Director's cut) is better because it includes a lot of context that was cut out of the "original version" because the studio wanted to reduce the run time of the film in theaters. So, while I normally think that 1st time viewing should be the original version as seen in theaters. I'm cool with using the extended version when it actually includes context and not just a few "jokes" or "sentimental" moments like a lot of other extended movies do. Or worse, they simply drag out the action scenes and nothing else.

[@arifeannor9573]

Just wrong.

[@luvlgs1]

The part about her daughter dying wasn't in the theatrical release. While not relevant to the core story, it does so much to explain her motivation and attachment to Newt. The other scenes also help flesh out the story, background and make the scenes flow together better.

[@miller-joel]

It's very relevant, because this is the story of Ripley confronting her trauma and finding a reason to live again. And she gets a second chance to be a mother. Not only because her daughter is dead, but also because she felt guilty leaving her for work. THAT is why she was never going to leave Newt behind.

[@bittybaff3541]

God I love this movie, it's brilliant on so many levels, my favorite aspects are taking an action spin on an icon in the horror genre, and how Ripley has been ignored and overruled by EVERYONE for two entire movies and just snaps.
