Aliens (1986) REACTION

[@david-1775]

Ellen Ripley is the perfect strong female lead. She isn't perfect, she doesn't have super powers, she doesn't know everything. She doesn't win every battle but she doesn't give up. She is a well written character that Hollywood needs to remember how to write.

[@X4ert]

[@vkdeen7570]

but mostly importantly she's competent but not trying to be a man, she has a feminine side and nurturing qualities

[@Gor85]

Perfect character

[@hadesmcfadden2982]

@@vkdeen7570 Ripley displays leadership, bravery, cunning, and several other qualities that are neither strictly feminine or masculine. They just ARE. Can we finally drop this ridiculous incel-speak about "feminine sides" and "nurturing qualities"? Why do we have to constantly engender what is heroic about a character? "but not trying to be a man..." She didn't even need to try to be anything.

Fun fact: Paul Reiser, who played Burke, took his mother to the premiere, and even she cheered when his character got killed. The Alien series are the only horror films I've ever had nightmares about. I used to have dreams of running down endless corridors, pursued by an Alien, and only just managing to close doors in front of it, but it still smashed through them eventually. After God knows how many doors, I just couldn't run any more, so I slumped again the wall, trying to get my breath. Then I noticed that there was no pounding from the other side of the last door, so I looked through the window, to see the Alien leaning against the wall, trying to get it's breath back as well...

Ripley was right burning all eggs, because they started to open, and our girls would be followed by many facehuggers, they could easily climb to elevator cabin! So it was nessasary.

You’ve just seen one of the greatest sequels of all time. Perfect from start to finish & to me, easily outdoes the original by a country mile. The moment Ripley takes on the Alien Queen and says the famous “Get away from her, you bitch” line is simply spine tingling & timeless.

While not military trained, Ripley conducts herself as any Warrant Officer would, she's agile, adaptive, and innovative. She's courageous and responsible, and possesses the rare gift of asserting her authority while still remaining friendly. She only speaks up when she has something important to say. While she's patient and willing to listen to other's arguments, she knows when to act on her own initiative for the greater good.

Aliens is even more amazing and my favorite Alien movie of all time and one of amazing Sci-fi/Horror in history! it's defiantly one of the best sequel to first movie like I absolutely love storytelling, casts did amazing on their roles, horror scenes are fantastic, actions were sick, development on characters were so awesome especially Ellen Ripley the and she is one of best strong female character of all time especially she was protecting Rebecca Jorden and I love Ellen's relationship also in my opinion it is turn ending of Alien franchise.

9:12 Michelle says what everyone was thinking for the last thirty five years. They don't make movies like this any more. Absolutely no one had a problem with Ripley, Vasquez, Ferro, or Dietrich. Ripley, Vasquez, Sarah Connor, Princess Leia, these are the female action heroes that all since have been compared to. Sadly, many in the last twenty years have fallen far short of those standards. Rita Vrataski in Edge of Tomorrow, Alita in Alita Battle Angel, Gamora, or Pepper Potts in any of the Marvel movies, Maggie Fitzgerald from Milion Dollar baby, all of these roles were great and worthy of being right there next to the best. But, they are the few, and the many are awful.

they actually do make movies like this. It's kinda weird that you're like "tHey dOn't mAkE mOvIeS LiKe tHiS aNyMorE!" then list off roles made in the last decade or less as comparable to something nearly 40 years old.

@@david-1775 You’re the one actually missing the point. Do you know what happens when a number of something increases? Everything increases, meaning that the percentage of bad vs good female leads goes up. It’s harder to make a good quality movie in general versus a bad one, add a female lead and it’s even harder.

One of the greatest sequels ever made, along with Terminator 2, also by James Cameron. It also has one of the greatest put-downs in movie history: "Hey, Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?" "No. Have you?" OUCH! And the scene with Ripley in the powerloader fighting the alien queen is right up there with Captain America wielding Thor's hammer: "Get away from her, you bitch!" The theater went NUTS! About how this movie got made, the story goes that James Cameron was at 20th Century Fox pitching some other story idea of his, but the studio rejected it. While he was leaving, he and the receptionist had a short conversation about various movies and just as he was heading out the door she said something like, "Maybe you could do a sequel to 'Alien'!" which stopped him dead in his tracks because he immediately realized the potential of such an idea.

[@Digsidian]

I never get how anyone misses that Ripley HAS to burn the eggs. The queen stabbed her in the back by having some of them open while she was leaving. There's even a shot of Ripley tilting her head like "are you serious?" when it happens.

The eggs open up due to the heat from the initial flamethrower blast, it's just an involuntary reaction to warmth.......the queen has nothing to do with it.

Bill Paxton and Lance Henriksen are the only two actors to have their characters killed in the "Alien", "Terminator" and "Predator" series. . 4. Possibly the best dialogue in the movie: Hudson, "Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?" Vasquez, : "No have you?"🤣 5. Much of Bill Paxton's dialogue was ad-lib. RIP Bill😇 He was Chet in "Weird Science" 6. IRL Paul Riser's mom during a preview viewing actually stood up and cheered when his character Burke got his. 7.

@Stevarooni disagree, the directors cut is by far superior, not to mention the way Cameron wanted it seen. Not only does it give us pre alien attack footage of the colony but we get to see the space marines fend off 2 waves of alien attacks before being overrun. This makes the alien strategy change on the third wave more plausible when they cut the power. The theatrical version isn't the movie, its executive cut up trash.

@@_MjG_Not as stupid an idea as you think it was. _Alien: Isolation_ reveals that 15 years after the _Nostromo,_ another ship, the _Anesidora,_ detected the same beacon and landed on the moon to investigate and salvage anything of value. The crew discovered the derelict and some equipment left behind by Nostromo. While exploring the derelict, the captain of the Anesidora _disabled_ the distress beacon to prevent any other salvage vessels from discovering the ship (wanting to keep anything valuable for himself) and the captain's wife ended up with a facehugger. Then they flew to _Sevastopol Station,_ hoping to find medical help for the captain's wife (and setting in motion a second xenomorph infestation.) The alien ship was shielded from the colony's ground scanners by the Ilium mountain range, while the moon's thick, debris-laden atmosphere shrouded the ship both from the naked eye and satellite scanning. That's why it wasn't discovered for 42 years after the _Anesidora_ incident, when Burke found the data in Ripley's flight recorder, then _deliberately_ deleted the original data, and sent colonists to go investigate, triggering the third Alien outbreak. Alternate non-video game interpretation: Maybe the warning beacon just failed from old age. Nothing lasts forever. And since the weather prevented satellite scans, and the minerals in the mountain range blocked ground scanners, the colonists never knew about the ship until Burke sent them there. In regards to whether or not the video games like _Alien: Isolation_ are canon, it honestly depends on what _you_ consider canon, in a manner of speaking. The video game has been considered tentatively canon. It's never been referenced in the movies, because of course it didn't exist when the movies came out, so if you go solely by those, then no, it's not canon. Remember, however, that FOX gave the game developers unrestricted access to all the available material, including a lot of stuff that ended up on the cutting room floor, and the developers expressly did not want to retcon anything. However, in 2014, three novels were published prior to the October release of Alien: Isolation. These books were _Alien: Out of the Shadows, Alien: Sea of Sorrows,_ and _Alien: River of Pain._ These books were _explicitly_ created to tie in with the film-only canon, but Out of the Shadows (set between the original Alien and Aliens) has a brief passage in which _both_ Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) _and_ her daughter (the protagonist of the then-unreleased game) are referenced to having foiled Weyland-Yutani's attempts at acquiring the Xenomorph. By this passage alone and by the intent of those three novels to tie in with the Alien movie series, it can be suggested that those three novels plus the movies (excluding AVP/AVPR) plus the game are meant to represent an "official" canon.

There is an Alien book that explains why she was lost in space for 57 years.

Great movie, the first two are very good. The last two I'll leave for others to comment on. Newt in the second one took the place of Jonesy the cat from the first one, an innocent that Ripley had to save.

38 years, and this movie still passes the test of time.

If Ripley didn't burn the eggs, the face huggers would have run her and Newt down.

[@jamesmeechan6983]

The queen obviously wanted to get revenge on Ripley for destroying her eggs

[@TheRManProds]

ELLIE'S REACTION WAS PRICLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Brownyman]

@18:50 Perfect xenomorph face LOL 👍

[@jishin75]

Talking about the facehugger: "It looks like a vagina" Yes, and a vagina can be a Facehugger too... 😂

Was the extended edition? It's so much better.

This movie is an allegory. A force of heavily armed and highly trained professional soldiers travel to a faraway land, but when they get there, they are defeated miserably, not for lack of bravery or skill, but simply because of unfamiliarity with the terrain and the type of enemy they were facing. Does that remind you of anything from America's history that was still fresh on people's mind when this movie was made?

BATAAN?? The Frozen Chosin?
