Andy’s actor was SO good. Switching from sweet Andy to robo cold Andy was awesome
He was awesome, he got a future........BUT THOSE PRACTICAL EFFECTS
He stole every scene he was in.
You can tell he studied Fassbender’s David but added his own beautiful flair to it
Yeah awesome acting. Top notch.
@@Dark_Tesla get away from her….you bitch.
Sadly, this one line delivery utterly ruined the ability to take his work seriously.
Blame the writers of this mess for sure, but he said it.
Ngl, David Johnson killed it as Andy. The way he changed from Rain's brother to the Company Man was cool. Downright terrifying.
That's the ONLY thing I liked about this movie.
@@booshmcfadden7638 I really enjoyed the movie even though the last act went off the rails. What I liked about Johnson's skill was his ability to maintain the same facial expressions with subtle, minute movements of his face and eyes. It was quite effective.
@ParkerJColeAuthor It wouldn't bloody end. Everything the did created a new problem to solve. Ramp up, climax, PHEW! That's done. But, uh-oh! This new plot thread! Ramp up, climax, PHEW! Like 5 times. The pacing was terrible. The acting was annoying. The dialog was too repetitive (we get it, Bjorn, you hate synthetics, stop telling us every 2 minutes. Ripley did it in 15 seconds and it lasted.) The characters weren't fleshed out; they were all aggressive and overbearing and then panicky, with no diversity at all (except for Andy). They left the planet without clearance, they got info from some mysterious person, the mining corp was over the top, turns out THEY DIDN'T NEED ANDY, and a dozen other things that break all of these plot threads. What they did to Ian Holm was horrible. The characters are stupid because the plot needs them to be. The human/alien hybird was so stupid. And waaay too many callbacks to the other films. 4/10. Subpar. I won't watch it again.
@@booshmcfadden7638 I hear you and forgive me for rambling. I think why I liked it so much was the callback to nostalgia. These aliens used to terrify me as a child watching the movies with my grandmother. My Granny loved horror movies. RIP Granny. And those callbacks put me right back on the couch, sitting next to her, hiding behind her arm. Usually, nostalgia doesn't work on me, but in this movie, it did.
Now, that being said, I think the pacing could have been improved most definitely, but I think they were going for a slow build up like in the first movie. The problem is that we know what's going to happen. We know we're watching an Alien movie so it's hard to keep up that mystery going so they did it with a slow ramp up. The ship leaving without clearance I saw as an error with the bureaucracy of the planet (unless they retcon it in the sequel and make it seem as if they KNEW it was going to happen)
Other things I liked: being on a Company planet. I liked the relatively unknown actors. We have no attachment to them, so we can get to see what happens with Rain and Andy if they do the sequel right. I agree with FoundFlix on that one. Don't try to mesh them together. Let them have their own trilogy.
I know Ridley loves the whole black goo thing - but I wish he'd just leave it alone. I get it that the early drafts of Prometheus had intricate story elements exploring created vs creator, religion vs science. I know. But let it go, my guy. Let it go.
Now, I'm in the minority, I know, but ... I LIKED the Offspring. *ducks tomatoes* I''ll tell you why. I think as a story concept of merging human and alien DNA it would be a precursor to something the Company would want to do. At the end, I thought the Offspring was nursing because of the black goo coming from her chest but I guess I was wrong. I would have preferred that because that would have made an interesting dynamic to explore going forward if they wanted to like kidnapped pregnant women and experiment on them. So those are my rambling thoughts! :)
@@booshmcfadden7638no one likes you in real life. They don’t tell you but they secretly say it behind your back. Because you’re annoying and negative.
Who ever thought of zero gravity acid thing deserved a raise that part was cool.
Would have been much cooler if they didn't ignore the rest of physics.
@@ryanbennett2806what’s the real physics & why should that be fact in a movie 😭
@@ryanbennett2806 Its a movie. Suspend your disbelief and pull the stick out of your ass
Fr, this movie far exceeded my expectations.
It really wasn't though. What happened to all the acid that would have hit the walls, what would happen to all the acid that would have hit the floor when the gravity was restored?
The fact that the guy who played the hybrid offspring is actually that tall irl.
The behind the scenes is so interesting! The one I saw featured him. He’s f*cking cool!
Bro was born to play that role
No, he is not. At least not in the scene where he is standing side by side with Rain, because there he is twice as tall as she is, while in real life the actor is only 2.31 metres tall.
@@Hadar1991only….? In what universe is 7 foot 7 not absolutely enormous 😭
@@ryanbrunet851 He is enormous, but in the movie he is like 3.2 metres (10 foot 6) if not taller. Not sure how they did it, but maybe they were using perspective LotR style.
That poor girl who birthed the hybrid had possibly one of the most miserable existences known to man
Did you not see what Elizabeth shaw was going to give birth to in Prometheus. She had to have c-section to abort cuthulu.
The father of the baby was confirmed to be her cousin Bjorn by Alvarez post release, idk what’s worse, the poor thing being an Incest baby, or it becomes a hybrid of Engineer and Xenomorph that looks like what the Engineer equivalent of a crackhead would look like.
Yes, she watched all of her friends and brother dıe in gruesome ways, had to endure the pain of falling like that (which would've kılled her honestly), and then give birth to that abomination
The android jumpscare is a homage to Alien Isolation. That game definitely brought fan goodwill back to the franchise.
After this film (and I believe is totally related) the announce a second one. One of my fav games and still holds up in 2024.
I have visceral reactions to large oak leaves skittering at me because of that game. My instinct is to cover my mouth. 😂😂😂
Theres going to be another alien horror game? Hell yeah thats awesome @NomeDeArte
This director tried and I mean tried his best to make sense and connect all Alien movies and he did darn good job also THE PRACTICAL EFFECTS WERE AMAZING......and the shots in it connect to all alien movies Damn Scott give this to Fede to handle
I don’t understand your last statement. Clearly Scott has given it to Fede if he directed this movie. Scott was also a producer per the request of Fede, even had him watch it for his approval. If it didn’t get the stamp we would’ve never seen it. Don’t get me wrong I agree with you I just don’t understand the last part is all.
@@GladHe8Her_Booty I could be wrong, but I think what they meant was if Ridley decides to not be actively involved in future installments in the series that Fede would take over and continue to bring Ridley’s vision to life in later movies.
@ I can see that
Im pleasantly surprised by the response to the film, (my heart sank when the first "review" headline was negative). And also by the very welcome civility, maturity and courtesy shown by the commenters to each other down here in the thread.🙏🕊💐🫶🏽🌸❤️🩹👍🏼
I just finished my English essay, heated up a rotisserie chicken, and now foundflix dropped a new video I love life sometimes
I love that UA-cam’s new link thing is here to help anyone who wants to learn more about rotisserie chickens
Congratulations, now celebrate hard.
I am not one of the many UA-cam grammar police, however, you did say that you had just finished your English essay and as I admired your usage of commas I noticed you had forgotten your period. 😳
Did you already hand in that essay? 😅
Im a day late but hoped you enjoyed
@@abysscallstoabyss55I hear you, abyss. Staring back at you!😎🫡
I cannot believe you missed/left out the biggest easter egg in the movie.... The fact that RIPLEY is on the station the entire movie, her escape ship "the Narcissus is docked & can be seen at the end of the corridor when rain is trying to get andy to open the door, & you can also see Ripleys escape shuttle LEAVING the station as it crashes at the end, basically when they picked up Big chap they also found Ripley. Its all in the movie.
why’d they wake her up so much later
So does that mean Ripley was in cryostasis the whole time and her ship autopilot out? From being in danger.
@hellothere3930 they didn't, When they found Big chap, they also found Ripley sleeping in her shuttle, bring her aboard, didn't awaken her straight away, Big chap awakens goes crazy before they do, at the end when the station is crashing you can see the Ripleys shuttle escaping, either her shuttle automatically jettisoned due the station crashing or Rook did it as she might be valuable to the company (which she is) at the end of Romulus Ripley is left drifting in a random direction from the planet, explains why they never found her where she should have been, because secretly they already had her then lost her.
@ashleemae9681 yep, or Rook did it because her knowledge is valuable to the company, enough that they would retrieve her, or maybe they found her & just didn't know what to do with her ha.
"What about her?" "Throw her in hanger bay 2"
@@hellothere3930 The alien takes priority. Or in other words
Crew expendable
This alien movie was a step in the right direction. It scratched my space horror itch.
It was good but waaaay too many callbacks…also needed more lore lol
Serious question. What part of this movie had horror?
How? Seriously how? This was one of the worst if not the worst alien movie we’ve had.
@@aliimiza8421 I agree nothing about this movie was in the right direction. From the way the cast responded to things, to the obvious outcome to every pregnant woman in an aliens movie, to them smacking facehuggers like baseballs, to a girl 1v20ing aliens with a "limited" amount of ammo. Everything about this movie was mediocre even the last alien.
I'm still waiting for someone to answer. People say this movie has good horror but not one person has ever responded or given even a scene as an example. Please tell me where I can get paid to make comments like this at least.
At 16:28, it's a cocoon, not an egg. The facehuggers come from eggs, that was a cocoon the baby Xeno finished it's growth in, they 3D printed the first facehuggers on this ship. The cocoon concept was taken from the movie 'Species', SIL finishes her metamorphosis in one in the train scene in that movie, it's almost exactly the same. H.R Giger worked on and designed the creatures for the movie 'Species'.
Heyyyy pretty much exactly what I said and I compared to Sil as well lol. Glad I’m not the only one who was like wait that’s not an egg!
It makes sense to have them cocoon though considering how fast they grow and evolve. They didn't exactly have to show it but we at least now have the full growth cycle of xenomorphs essentially. All we knew before was that from chest burster to adolescent (or whatever their blackened form is) the change happened quickly.
@@DeathG64 Absolutely it makes sense, it's just not an egg like he says, nor has it anything to do with the cut egg morph scene from the original Alien.
@@PrettyTigerlillyi think he explained his perspective: that the aliens or even the scientists found a way to clone the xenos via egg and perhaps that was the resulting egg from the genetic experiments (i added some context to how they said it lol) but that this could be related to the egg cloning seen drawn by david in the preexisting films. idk if this is cannon but just restating what was correlated to that belief
@@breathoffreshair7795 Well he's wrong
I absolutely loved the Copious amounts of Alien Isolation references there was in this movie! I love that game.
@@schools6555 same
Yeah it shows the crew did their good research to make the movie appeal to audiences and also show a lot of those events are canon in this universe which makes the movie that much better imo. They did a great job
@@redt7452 that’s what I can appreciate about this film that the haters won’t.
can you name some O: I need to know now! lol
@@AverageOoO_ Alien Romulus
Whenever he gives a good recommendation about a movie at the start, I pause the video, go and watch the movie, and then comeback.
One thing he needs to do more of is check his information and pay more attention to detail. Cause I fact checked his shite and he got a lot of what he talked about wrong such as the timeline.
I know some people weren’t a fan of all the fanservice but.. it certainly won me over lol
This is my favorite Alien since the first two, it’s not perfect, but it’s absolutely in the right direction and really felt like a worthy side movie to the original
Agreed! This was such a fun movie.
"I recognized thing so I clapped!"
@@benderbendingrodriguez420 Lmao so what if I did? Nothing wrong with nostalgia getting people it works for millions.
I love the new things added and the callbacks, you can enjoy something simple but also the more complex or brand new. Grow up.
@@michikip45 lol so salty🤣 it's a quote from RedLetterMedia idgaf if you liked it or not ✌️
@@benderbendingrodriguez420you do gaf that someone would though hence you writing it unprovoked, you just sound salty for saying it in the first place lol, you good bud?
This is hands down the absolute best outer space scenes, the ring of the planet was breathtaking. It truly made the film more than the character story for me. I give it 8/10
Don't get me wrong there was some really good scenery throughout the movie. But the person who directed this pile of hot steamy diarrhea is a good dam moron and the just like the writers of season 8 game of thrones ruined it from start to finish.they should have kept on with the Synth Davis and finished his story ark and done something original instead all we got was a regurgitated copy of 4 or 5 previous movies all wrapped up and shat out into a hot steamy pile of diarehtic mess that most ppl with a brain and eyes that are not sheeple could see as a crap film with no real plot that starts a new every 5 to 10 minutes.
The horde of facehuggers and the chestburster scene was amazing in the theatre when I first saw it.
The *Queen* lays the eggs.
A *Facehugger* emerges from the egg.
The *Facehugger* lays an egg inside a person.
The *Chestburster* emerges and scuttles off somewhere safe.
The *Chestburster* cocoons itself like a Caterpillar.
And finally, a Full *Xenomorph* emerges from the cocoon.
Such a beautiful lifecycle...
If anyone payed any real attention to life cycle of the xenomorph. It doesn't need to cocoon because it sheds its skin like a snake and becomes larger with every shedding. Pay attention when watching the original movies.
YES!!! I've watched SOOO many breakdown and easter egg vids for this movie and this is the FIRST to mention that my ALL TIME fave quote was used: "Game over, man"
I like that when the alien grabs her helmet looks to be a reference to the video game poster.
Offspring smiles:
Theater: Aw hellll nahhh!!
Literally
that ad read in the middle was brutal
Cry about it dork
I still don't know how I feel about the digital resurrection of Ian Holm, because yes his family consented to it but he was featured so prominently in the whole film. Aside from that, I didn't have any other issues with the film.
PLEASE BRING BACK FOUNDFLIX PRESENTS!!!!
YES!!! It was my favorite thing he did. I still rewatch those!
Whats that
@Expo- right lol ive been posting this same exact comment on every single video not long after it drops for like years now LOL
@@ob1nc apparently it was when he shed light on obscure horror films that were either bad or a diamond in the rough. Basically the same thing as this but for films most people never seen
I got my mom and dad to see this with me in the theatre, they hadn't seen a Alien movie since the first two when they were teens. It was really dope
@@imdeadontheinside1207 thank the heavens your not a hater hallelujah.
FoundFlix thank you for making the content you do for years. I remember seeing some videos back in 2019 and being hooked. Thank you for everything and I wish you luck in the future.
I second that ❤
Even though he gets some very particular and odd things wrong in a lot of videos (sometimes his imagination seems to overwork itself and other times it does the opposite 😅) he’s always been massively entertaining and at the end of the day that’s why I watch the videos .. the whole idea of ending explained has become its own form of entertainment that I love enjoying after watching the movies.. not to learn anything but just to watch and unwind 😊
@@mcoupe69 I mean people interpret things differently....that's life. That's people. Its fine lol its still a good channel just let them give him his flowers ❤
No advertisement too; thanks 🙏
Something lot of people miss. Bjorn and Navarro are also siblings (she is adopted) so they are 3 pairs of siblings. They bump their heads and some assume they are a couple but not at all. That’s why he gets so defensive after the face hugger.
You didn't miss it we just don't care
I missed that, thanks 😊
@@sardonicspartan9343 No reason to be rude
Two kinds of UA-cam replies
@@sardonicspartan9343Over a hundred comments, and every single one of them is negative.
It's a you problem, bud. You're gonna complain no matter what.
Director Fede Alvarez confirmed on reddit and X/Twitter that Bjorn was in fact the father of Kay’s baby and there was hints first one she calls her baby daddy an asshole which is in fact her Bjorn the way he acts towards rain and andy as the second hint it’s when Bjorn helps out Kay she quickly tells him not to touch her and you can tell by their interactions they were once lovers despite the fact they are cousins.
Ewww kissin cousins. The same body odor is gods way of telling you to not do that
@eriktruchinskas3747 and I thought game of thrones was the only one with incest
Ok but hear me out - Tyler and Bjorn have accents, but Kay does not. What if they’re not blood related? That’s what I’m hoping because an incestuous relationship is so disgusting and unnecessary 😭
@kellym- director hasn't given anymore details unless you ask him at cons or social media to get response if Bjorn is either adopted or step cousin but he is their cousin.
@@eriktruchinskas3747 nonsense. Sweat smells like sweat. Holes a hole.
I hope they introduce Ripley's daughter in the next movie. Alien Isolation is confirmed canon so having her daughter in this movie would be cool
Everyone hates Prometheus/covenant because the supposed scientist makes a stupid decision after other. Here there a bunch a kids and are way smarter. Love this one, can’t wait for the sequel.
I mean the movie has to happen and the scientists and marines made dumb decisions throughout the whole series....while Prometheus is too stupid....none of them were actually scientists in covenant, they were simply colonists.....the mc Daniels is literally a engineer? Covenant while not perfect gets flack for killing shaw which who gaf and Prometheus stain....this exact movie couldve came out a year after covenant and everyone would say the same thing, and I'm not one of this cringe it's not tht bad people tht say Halloween 3 is kinda good, no, but covenant is ok
Speak for yourself :p despite the flaws of Prometheus I and many others still enjoy it for what it is and what Ridley set out to do by expanding the lore .. I will concede that covenant was an absolute let down but David was a fascinating character and I would not be opposed to seeing him pop up again in the future
@@thedevilsrockstxr2309i disagree with the idea of "prometheus is bad cause the scientists act stupid" because 1- movie needs to happen and 2- scientists irl DO a lot of dumb and dangerous things for the sake of science, dont tell me you seriously think that every scientific achievement was done by careful planing and following protocols when we have several stories of "did you know that X was actually developed because scientist accidentaly knocked a vial into the sample" the way the scientists behave in prometheus is very human (just watch any zoologist video and how they approach dangerous animals and how many have died/gotten hurt because of that and dont get me started with geologists whose first action upon finding a rock is to lick it, yes theres a reason for that, but they are still licking a rock)
The reason some of the prometheus crew were incompetent is because they were hired by Vickers (Waylands daughter) & she WANTED the mission to fail so she could gain control of the company, it's the ONLY reason she was there to 100% confirm Waylands death so she could easily take control of the company without having lots of hoops to jump through proving wayland dead, it's why she has the specific line of "for those of you who personally hired, welcome" she hired some incompetent crew to reduce the chance of waylands success in the mission & extending his life. There is also the fact that in real life, on paper some 'smart' people are actually dumb people
@@Kendymary why are u telling me tht....I dnt think its horrible as I said
I was truly terrified by the hybrid at the end it's face kept me up last night I just saw it yesterday it was brilliant I thought it would be OK so was surprised I was genuinely scared like in the first 2 movie when I was a kid in the 80s
That hybrid was a freaking joke as was the whole movie. Go back and watch the first 3 movies they are better and much more well done. This movie is shite.
Man they really could build on this one… no it’s not perfect but it starts to move the xeno back to a more terrifying existence than previously.
No it doesn't, it was less than shite and a complete waste of time. It would have been better if they had stuck to Davids story ark
I was quite surprised with this movie it was my first 4DX experience made it all the much better!
Same!! I could have done without the neck air lmao.
Killing off Big Chap off screen after all this time is honestly bigger insult than how Alien 3 started
Alien 3 was a million times better than Romulus and worse than resurrection. The only thing resurrection surpasses Romulus in is the fact that it stayed loyal to the characters and the lore. Romulus just regurgitated all the movies and shat it out like when I have diarrhea
31:20 I was in a packed cinema watching Romulus on release, and the whole cinema started to laugh when he eventually finished the iconic line. We loved it, and the way it was made personal to Andy's journey in the movie (he learned the word from that asshole who kept calling him a bitch). I wasn't offended that they used it and appreciated the way it was used. Some people really got their panties in a bunch because of all of the references, and have lost sight that this was a huge success for the franchise because it has brought new people into the Alien fandom and has shown the people who control the money over at Disney/Fox that this a franchise still very much in demand.
I love creative things like the 0 gravity acid. Finally a half decent alien movie.
You could of had any liquid substance in zero g and it would have done the exact same thing.
@noyanoya3410 false
The whole concept of egg-morphing actually came back into the extended media with Aliens: Defiance. In the case of a lone Xeno having to start a hive, it can evolve to convert human victims into eggs in the hope of developing a queen.
It would be perfect if the opening of the next movie starts with a nightmare sequence of andy killing and experimenting on rain only for rain to wake up from cryo sleep
Boner pills and sports betting? Damn bro
Man’s gotta eat but that’s pretty bleak
He must consooooooom till the end of time
Thats the world. Slinging those vices and living the American dream…
Yikes
Special effects were amazing, really good movie.
This review is what is best for the company.
Well I serve the company if I liked this film and I am gen-z so it makes sense why I liked it so much.
imo Andy's dad jokes were peak in the film.
Nothing like finishing the week with hearing this majestic voice!
I watched this last night basically soaring through cloud 9 and lemme tell you - i was just blazed, but it felt like an acid trip between all the visuals, cinematography, character moments, etc, etc.
There is nothing better than watching a horror movie with some psychedelics
@@HaroldVonUberSchlongThat sounds like a terrible idea 😶😂
Just came to say I really level with you when you say you can't stop thinking about evil dead when watching this because of the director, not a bad thing at all, this movie was brilliant.
I don’t know the connection between all these movies 100% but man did that baby thing look like the engineers from Prometheus makes me def feel there’s a greater connection
Watched this yesterday. Easily my favie Alien movie in a long, looong time.
It’s really weird how they never address what they did with the pregnant chick’s body. Like did they just leave her to rot in the corner while they were in cryo?
Kinda dark, but probably put her in cryo. She put Andy in cryo, maybe took care of Kay as well. Or a space burial, considering Rain might want to make sure she has enough cryo fuel for the trip and beyond. If they're setting up a remake and Kay is in cryo, she might get revived or something like that, since she injected herself with ZO1 and might no longer be human.
@ well they should’ve shown us that. The writers clearly just forgot about her
She was dead… the hybrid alien absorbed her

I watched this movie in theaters with my cousin a few weeks ago, and thought it was one of the best movies I've ever seen.
Honestly I think this is my favorite alien film.
I have been waiting WEEKS for you to do this one.
I love you found Flix. Been watching you for a decade. And you haven't changed 😊.
Feel so sorry for Kay she couldn’t catch a break
I can't believe I have been watching you for like 15 years.
Wasn’t the Sigourney’s voice making a ship’s computer voice announcement?
My screen froze last night on the same frame as your thumbnail.
My only beef with the movie, was when the baby was in the cargo hold. The ship recognized it and said it was down there.
Instead of crawling down there also, she could just dropped the cargo hold right then and there, no problem.
She had to release it manually.
the hell are all these ads?
Since you didn’t mention it, I assume when they froze the tail at 12: 45 that was also a call back to Yaphet Koto saying why only you just freeze him in the original Alien
“Cadbury demon egg” and “ splooge of death.” You, my friend are a true word smith.
Time to play Alien Isolation again 😌

@@iHaveTheDocumentsthen it’s the fourth best lol
@@NomeDeArteagreed but it had huge flaws.
I fully agree with you there
Wow I couldn't believe you were doing a Alien explained video this is going to be great
Been so waiting for this one! Thank you!!! Great as usual 👌🏻
I love how FoundFlix just bosses through the sponsors like "yo lemme get my pay check and get back to the review" 😂
Highlight of the movie was that hybrid scene. Love that lil thing.
I think you’re my favorite UA-camr. Thanks
I'd like to think the Engineers merely retro-engineered the black goo from something more primordial which comics does go into this a bit.
Yo I loved this movie spaney was amazing as rain . This is my favorite of the franchise to be honest . The body horror was top notch . Loved seeing the xenomorph back in action again !
I enjoyed almost all of this movie. The 0g acid scene, and Andy catching the elevator but not being able to open the door when they first encounter the face huggers kinda pulled me out. The rest of it was miles better than anything literally since aliens lol
It is Novarro, not Kay, who says that Andy is not a real person after he is told that he won't be travelling on and must stay on the ship
Need to rewatch this. My buddy was talking nonstop for the first 20 minutes and I missed the entire bit about the xenomorph being taken from the ship.
TLDR I went from being very skeptical about the movie to being quite happy with it.
I thought that reviving Big Chap from what was supposed to be unrecoverable triple nuclear explosion was lame and then killing him off screen was even lamer but the movie is actually quite good. It oozes love and reverence to the original two movies and there's a splashes of alien isolation in almost every frame. Big part for me was how they seamlessly blended old-fi tech from Alien and Aliens like buttons and cranks with more modern digital screens, AND made CGI work with practical effects, and there's a ton of practical effects. Movie gave facehuggers front stage and managed to transfer the ominous danger that a hallway can convey to the screen with distant screeching and hissing inside long empty vent shafts really selling the fact that danger is always around the corner. Yes, references to original movies are very often a bit too much, but the plot moves with a pace and you don't get time to dwell on it. Yes, Big Chap is killed off-screen but a) there are plenty of xenomorphs to take his place and b) there's a tiny chance it's not Big Chap, since we're shown later that there are plenty of xenomorphs on the station and it could have been one of them. David Johnson really sells the two versions of Andy. The zero gravity sections is a nice touch (not like the shitty movie Gravity). It also makes sense to bring the Prometheus Fire or pathogen - thank God we don't have to call it "black goo" anymore - back into the story and actually use it for something, bringing the corporate greed exemplified by WY throughout the movies to it's logical conclusion. Everything in this movie is set up quite nicely with recalls later in the movie.
Oh no, a gambling sponsor lmao
Thats not good
Solid movie, definitely want to see a sequel.
What in the fuck were those sponsors bro
I’ve been a fan of Alvarez since he did Evil Dead. I like his philosophy when it comes to doing movies connected to established franchises. He basically says he doesn’t like straying too far away from source material and I like that.
One of the best horrors this year. Now this is the alien we wanted.
NOTHING would have been left of the USCSS Nostromo
So Bjorn was the father of Kay's baby (cousins btw) according to Fede. She did say the father was some jerk. I had a feeling that was the case when they reunited after the ship crashed they embraced a little too intimately.
I thought there would be a huge fight between a Morphed Kay and the Final Xeno, then it would have been her baby that Rayne and Andy had to contend with.
i just kind of realized this set up for the alien movies really relies on the protagonists not knowing anything about the aliens and also being compassionate enough to care bout their fellow crew members. because what if just after the face hugger room scene they just shot him in the face along with the face hugger and called off the mission to get out before something else went wrong?
also idk if this is from the comics, but the egg/cocoon to transform into a xenomorph is another organism; besides the xeno inside. just like how the egg is it's own organism besides the facehugger inside, being a separate organism too.
I agree, the egg holds the facehugger, not the baby xeno. It's a cocoon and it's concept was taken from the movie Species ( which is connected to the Alien movies by way of H.R Giger)
Bro I really appreciate these videos, I just be chilling faded and just watching on movies I don’t a got time to watch.
On another note, I MUST SEE The Gate. Just saw trailer looks incredible!
They should make alien isolation into a movie
I was waiting for this breakdown
HE’S BACK!!! Foundflix 👊😎💯
Seeing the original in theaters for the 45th anniversary just made me even more excited for Romulus. Alien was my first exposure to horror when I went on the Great Movie Ride at Disneyworld as a kid, so finally getting to see it on the big screen was absolutely incredible.
I was on the edge of my seat, loving every second of Romulus and both films are easily some of the best I’ve ever seen in theaters. I love the director’s approach to his installations in horror franchises and can’t wait for the Alien show next year.
Big chap was blown to pieces by decompression in the first book
Dude I really wanted to see that acid blood scene with the gravity going on and off and on and off. Like some sort of malfunction. Would have been nuts.
Man, I love horror, but I'd love it to see you branch out to new, old, your favorites, etc. Either way, it's great 😊
SWEET! This was a nice little surprise tonight!! You gotta love the epic FoundFlix Ending Explained video's!!

Never would I have expected to see my favorite horror movie review channel advertising the source of my crippling sports gambling problems
That cocoon was more showing how the chest ripper baby alien turns into an adult rather than reproducing without a queen. So this expands the lore in that all the younglings have been morphing off screen to become adults.
Also, big scorchie is "Big Chap" as the alien fans call him. He's original one Ridley fought in Alien 1.
Scorchy is the one that came out of the cocoon, big chap was the dead one in the same room as rook. You can see the grappling hook through it that Ripley got it with in one shot.
No, big chap is the dead alien that Rook points to. Were you even paying attention to the film??
