Alien 3 assumed the characteristics of a dog. Imagine if it assimilated Jonesy The Cat?! Gives you one wicked scratch across the cheek, and then sticks its tail up at you as it walks away. Completely leaves you alone .... until you've just finished washing and ironing your work trousers, upon which it decides to rub up against you and leave a trail of acid blood all over your fresh work clothes!
Yes, that could've been a choice but you do know that the us government wanted a full fledged alien queen right? They're not capable of cloning that. Also, cloning is quite expensive. Their only main goal is to weaponize the xenomorphs.
Such strong vivid characters deserved better. Hicks falls asleep going into a combat drop. Total badass Newt survives among countless Aliens for weeks. Total badass. But they couldn't survive the story line.
My personal favorite is Aliens(2). I love it when then marines go down there almost knowing what to expect, but become completely overwhelmed. Alien(1) had the best tension moments although I watched Alien(3) when I was a kid and the idea of being locked up, with a murderous killing machine scared the piss out of me literally.
+TheKanjiX actually technically an alien from that burst from a human is technically a hybrid. this is due to the fact aliens that burst form a species take on characteristics from that species i.e how aliens that burst from dogs only walk on all fours and aliens that burst from predators have it's mandibles. This is thought to be due to the fact that this helps the aliens in the way it makes them similar to their host therefore making them more suited to their enviorment
George Patton Agreed. I liked the story, though the game could have used the polish and gameplay we saw in the trailers and "demos" they teased us with. Even though we try not to talk about it, its still canon though, and you can blame Fox if it bothers you.
How to enjoy A:CM... Be an Aliens fan, like but not be that into first-person shooters, miss all the overhype and the apparently epic demos, buy a pre-owned copy at reduced price. Worked for me.
Alien Isolation was beautiful, and initially terrifying, but I stopped playing after I watched the xenomorph walk within two feet of, and right past my character. 100% immersion breaking. The human AI was equally flawed in that they would somehow spot me across massive, dimly-lit rooms, and yet not even notice if I happened to run past just a few feet in front of their faces. Perhaps this has been patched since, but ultimately I just classify this, along with the Star Wars Battlefront reboot, as an artistically beautiful walking simulator of one of my most cherished sci-fi film universes.
In Alien 3, I remember the xenomorph having survived the molten lead with flying colors and no apparent massive injury. If anything it just seemed to be more pissed off. It was ultimately the relatively cool water from the sprinkler system that sent its super-heated exoskeleton into thermal shock, causing it to explode and die all over the place. I remember because I thought it was a pretty clever bit. Was this an alternate cut?
My reactions to all of the movies. Alien: oh...oh...OH...AAAAAGGGGHHH Aliens: Oh man awesome! Alien 3: well...alright then. Alien 4: just...just...piss off! Prometheus: oh...oh...OH...wait...huh?
The first alien movie I ever saw was Alien 4: Resurrection. As a result, it is my favorite out of all the alien movies because I watched them after so I was working backwards. It's strange to see so many people seem to not like it. Totally love Prometheus as well. Looking forward to the next installment.
AVP and its sequel AVP Requiem are earlier entries in the series - set before Prometheus in terms of chronology, Predator 2's showing of the skull is the first and pre-dates them being set in 1997.
Ok this video was super awesome. I am 40 years old and probably saw Alien a little too early growing up, had nightmares for quite awhile lol I've watched many times since, and have always found it to be the creepiest of them all. Without the visions and original drawings of the late H.R. Giger, this idea of Aliens would not exist. I'm very excited to see what happens in Prometheus II and Alien 5.
I saw Alien when it was first released, knowing nothing about the story, except that one critic mentioned 'a scene that will go down in the books.' You can guess which scene that was!
Prometheus was really good. I had a bit too much to drink, the night I saw it, and for the next two weeks, I thought of nothing else. All in all, an excellent series of films.
wrong! Alien 3 they're not dumping molten led, alien has resurfaced from led and they spray it with cold water. Also Alien bursts out of an Ox in alien 3 directors cut, which seems to be how Fincher intended!
Thanks for reminding me of the nonsense that is Prometheus. Just rewatched Alien and Aliens again this week and feel completely in love with them again. They are both amazing at what they do. Alien is pitch perfect suspense and horror. Aliens is pitch perfect thrills and action.Prometheus just makes me realise that even with all that money, the biggest and best effects In this day and age and a cast of famous and well regarded actors, it all counts for absolutely nothing when it's all thrown into a poor story with no clear purpose. It's ironic that they spent so much money building this world only to pale in comparison to the original. I know which one feels like a real lived in world I can believe in for 2 hours and it's NOT Prometheus. Prometheus is a big dumb popcorn movie you watch on the big screen and then forget the minute it's over. Alien is a well crafted masterpiece of tension and scene setting and it has stayed in the minds of millions for almost 4 decades. So yeah......not looking forward to Blade Runner 2
The alien wasn´t killed by the molten lead, it was killed by the sudden contrast of temperature when the water drops upon him, and the rigidness of his exoskeleton proves unable to bear the huge tensions of quenching. There´s even foreshadowing halfway through the movie when that bucket cracks open after the sprinklers pour water on it.
+Donovan Johnson technically the only reason why 4 exists is because fans hated the ending to 3. so it should have ended at 3 and colonial marines should have never seen the light of day.
+Dante Leinguard These are the only PROPER Alien stories: Alien > Alien Isolation > Aliens Maybe it's too much to hope for that the next Alien story will be proper as well ... but I'll watch it anyway, as it's hardly a rush job!
Dude. Awesome. A really nice, concise and to the point Cliff Note to the Alien Universe. Thanks! Even loved the Intro with Prometheus for sure. Can you do a stand-alone AVP?
Ivan Bryansk In the AVP series a new breed of aliens called the Praetorian guards would guard the Queen. This is a knockoff or nod to the Praetorian Guard name of the Romans. The Praetorians would grow into a new Queen when it died in AVP. Because AVP is not canon, they do not exist in standalone Aliens and Alien games and especially movies. I don't know why idiots comment saying this when the original movies came way before this idea from video games. If you want to see what Praetorian Alien looks like, look it up on Google. I also have many AVP and Alien videos for you to watch if you want to see more on them in the games.
The Wolf MC I was referring to this video as taking information from movies only. Also none of the information can be obtained from the movies so it is automatically expanded universe. Not replying anymore.
Reboot? Hell no. But I wouldn't mind something else set in the same universe. I think we'll be getting a second Prometheus eventually but it isn't the same.
Is it in 5 minutes as the thumbnail states, 8 minutes like the video title informs us, or 7 minutes and 47 seconds in the actual time stamp of the video? I'm confused.
That scene at 3:03, which is supposedly from the end of Alien is actually from the beginning of Aliens. At the end of Alien, Ripley and Jonsie slept in separate chambers
it is possible that the ship that crashes on LV223 is not the same one on LV426. There is a chance that there was a ship they(the engineers) attempted to send out previous that contained the same liquid to produce Xenomorphs, which happened to land on LV426, where Alien picks up the story line.
Too bad Isolation couldn't have been included on this as well. (Also, yes I know it had not came out yet. I meant, too bad they didn't make this in 2014.)
+JabberJack I agree. If any game should be part of the Alien mythos, it should be Isolation. And yes, it wasn't out yet as you said. But it would have been nice to explain a bit about Ripley's daughter Amanda, and I felt the game never strayed away or got too controversial to the Alien cannon. Plus it was darn scary fun! :)
+hue hue hue lol the Alien Saga in 5 minutes. The Alien Saga in 5 minutes. Alien Saga in minutes. Saga in 5 minutes. in 5 minutes. 5 minutes. Alien. 5 minutes. Alien Saga in 5 minutes. Emphasis, on Alien Saga in 5 minutes.
+Rand Aram Actually... now they are. Read the comics. Resurrection is no longer canon though. Predator, Alien and Prometheus have been fused together and I kinda actually like it. Look for the "Fire and Stone" comic series in this order: Alien, Predator, AVP, Prometheus. Prometheus Omega (finale) and now they are writing a sequel.
+TheMksteel its a dumb movie. Everything about it is dumb. Oh look, hybrid alien Ripley made a basket without even looking ... soooo funny. The idea for Ripley 8 was dumb, the ridiculous comedy was inappropriate and it ruined the franchise. Case closed.
We don't talk about the movies beyond Aliens. James Cameron and Riddly Scott have both stated they were not canon. Hopefully we can clean that up with the Prometheus prequel saga as well as the as of right now Postponed Neil Blomkamp movie that will await go ahead until after Alien: Covenant is released.
***** i happened to enjoy 4. 3 was the shitfest to me. don't get me wrong, the story/writing/acting was horrible in both, but at least 4 had pretty special effects and cinematography to make up for it's subpar everything else. 3 had no redeeming qualities.
+kehvan Alien 3 is actually good. I really can't find any information as to why people hate it other than "it was a development hell" and "it's not like Aliens". Sure, only one of the surviving characters from the previous film doesn't die at the beginning, but why are people really expecting this to be a happy film?
+CurtisAlfeld there are two different cuts for the movie, the assembly cut and the theatrical cut. the theatrical cut was of course the one to be released in the 90's wich was poorly edited since they locked the director out of the editing room, that's the main reason why alien 3 is so hated, since at release it was actually a terrible movie. in 2004 though a new cut of the movie was released (altough the director complitly divorced the movie and had nothing to do with the new cut) called the assembly cut, this one actually made sense, and was a really good alien movie, this one is where the alien is born from an ox instead of a dog, a lot of things and cahracter development is added too, plus new effects, some scenes deleted etc. the other reason why people hate alien 3 is because they killed newt, though i always hated that character so it wasnt bothered by it.
1. In Prometheus, the alien ship was found on LV223. At the end of Prometheus, it was wrecked on that moon before launching away. How was the ship later found (in Alien 1) on the moon, LV426? 2.Why is the prisoner planet (Alien 3) listed as "Double Y Chromosome...Facility"? The prisoners did not have XYY karyotype syndrome.
Nathan Estlund Speak for yourself bud, people expect answers and they were denied that, reality is, sometimes life is just full of questions and it'd be self-righteous to give answers in PROMETHEUS.
And no longer cannon. THANK YOU NEILL BLOMKAMP! Neill Blomkamp is making a new Alien film that should be out in either 2016 or 2017. It will replace 3&4 with a sequel to Aliens! Ridley Scott is producing and also working on the project. Sigourney Weaver and Michael Beinn are confirmed to return!
I have a theory that there are so many Engineer ships in the same region due to two factions of Engineers fighting. One group wishes to destroy them and another to protect the humans. There was a battle and the biological weapons carriers all were destroyed or crashed on nearby moons and planets. It is not hard to imagine seperate factions settling on different worlds. After many years of fighting a cease fire was issued but the factions remained seperate. The protectors of humanity had control of the planet seen in Covenant. And the attack by david could be seen as a military strike by the othe faction. This leads back to a continuing battle between the two.
Zishy easy: queen may have had one still inside of her when she chased Ripley to the dropship, layed it there and then the facehugger makes its way towards stasis tubes and Ripley.. the rest is Alien 3 intro. another but maybe a bit less plausible theory.. bishop is not as good as he may seem.
vubevube you and me we both know that is not how it works. bishop may have had alternative motives but there is a reason the magical egg is never shown. i asume you dont know about the history of the third movie and how many times the script and the director changed, because none of them wanted to do the script and all asumed it was stupid and anachronistic towards the first 2 which were masterpieces. up to this day fans fight over which one of the first two is the better movie :)
Zishy i do know a bit about it and by no means i am comparing it to the first two masterpieces (nr 2 die hard fan here)... but saying it's non-canon is a bit too much, it's dark, it's different, it's heavily flawed... but it still is Alien. I wonder if blomkamp Alien 5 that would disregard 3&4 would be better.
Vallentalv1 Alien Isolation takes place after the first Alien movie and the story connects by the daughter of Ellen Ripley, Amanda trying to find the flight recorder of her mother, but ending up meeting the Alien too.
Neil Blomkamp said: I’m not trying to undo or Alien Resurrection…My favorites are the first two movies. I want to make a film that’s connected to Alien and Aliens. That’s my goal." Alien Saga: 1.Predator 2.Predator 2 3.Alien vs. Predator 4.Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem 5.Predators 6.Prometheus 7.Alien 8.Alien: Isolation 9.Aliens 10.Blomkamp's Alien (5)
the alien saga in less than one minute - A robot manipulated a pre-existing weapon of mass destruction for even greater effect due to the fact robots were made by people.
They missed out on some true comedic moments, like discovering that the aliens are deathly afraid of cats and will stay away from them at all means. Making catto's secretly the most dangerous things alive.
all I got was, that cat was alive for a very very long time, also smart cat
the cat is the only character from the original movie to not end up being killed by the aliens
Cat is behind it all, it was a its plan all along... Evil cat (sarcasm)
+Lukas Kment imagion if that was Ridley Scott's intention. Alien 5 the cats universiul takeover
NB: cat's the only one who walks away alive. "I admire its purity ... a survivor!"
Alien 3 assumed the characteristics of a dog. Imagine if it assimilated Jonesy The Cat?! Gives you one wicked scratch across the cheek, and then sticks its tail up at you as it walks away. Completely leaves you alone .... until you've just finished washing and ironing your work trousers, upon which it decides to rub up against you and leave a trail of acid blood all over your fresh work clothes!
They made the technology to recreate dead humans, but they still want aliens. Very good, Very good.
LMAO
XenoPoff it's a clone, you can do that in present time
Yes, that could've been a choice but you do know that the us government wanted a full fledged alien queen right? They're not capable of cloning that.

I liked aliens colonial marines. One of my favorite games.
+turningkiller8 why?
I remember going to the movies and seeing Alien 3, I was so depressed watching it, especially at beginning with Hicks and Nute being dead.
SuperSoulja68. Newt ( Rebecca Jordan). Not Nute
Alien 3 is the best one IMO..... and no, I'm not trolling lol.
tom spud i liked promethus
Such strong vivid characters deserved better.
Hicks falls asleep going into a combat drop. Total badass
Newt survives among countless Aliens for weeks. Total badass.
But they couldn't survive the story line.
That ruined it for me too.

The whole of Prometheus was an even bigger abomination.
I don't really count the fourth alien, not even the third. I only care for Prometheus, alien, and aliens. Alien isolation seems really interesting.
I guess some people would. When it comes to Prometheus, alien feel like a totally different movie, but I still enjoyed it.
I agree in some ways. It could've been better.
alien 3 is a classic... simple as that
DeathBy Bushido Waaaa?
DeathBy Bushido's post is bait.
we don't talk about the failed experiment called alien:colonial marines

Renee Rolevink the story was actually good, the gameplay was trash
George Patton
Agreed. I liked the story, though the game could have used the polish and gameplay we saw in the trailers and "demos" they teased us with. Even though we try not to talk about it, its still canon though, and you can blame Fox if it bothers you.
Would love a movie though...
then i still dont understand how the alien vs predator thing happened years before the futuristic expedition
don't care about avp franchise
I've thought about that (3 seconds) n maybe the engineers were at war with the Predators n developed the alien to fight them
Crossover. That's it.
Noncannon to alien story
You sure? I think I read somewhere that Fox says the AvP AND Predator films are all canon and part of the same Alien continuity.

i would put alien 3 before AVP, but otherwise, i agree
Alien isolation is the best alien game so far gj SEGA
I wouldn't say it's the best game, but it is the best horror game in my opinion. It is one of the few horror games that have been able to scare me.
Definitely. I really hope they do decide to make a sequel.

They will add the Neomorphs as well, anyone wanna take bets?

it is possible that the ship that crashes on LV223 is not the same one on LV426. There is a chance that there was a ship they(the engineers) attempted to send out previous that contained the same liquid to produce Xenomorphs, which happened to land on LV426, where Alien picks up the story line.

Too bad Isolation couldn't have been included on this as well. (Also, yes I know it had not came out yet. I meant, too bad they didn't make this in 2014.)
Well another thing is that it's a game and not a movie.....
+JabberJack I agree. If any game should be part of the Alien mythos, it should be Isolation. And yes, it wasn't out yet as you said. But it would have been nice to explain a bit about Ripley's daughter Amanda, and I felt the game never strayed away or got too controversial to the Alien cannon. Plus it was darn scary fun! :)
As far as I'm concerned, Alien 3 and 4 never happened. Take note Hollywood.
Same here
The Assembly Cut of Alien 3 did happen.
Then on 5:36 i dont recall the queen was release!?
would you guys make an updated version of this after alien covenanta comes out? Including alien isolation
What about the predators
+hue hue hue lol did you read the title.
+hue hue hue lol the AVP isn't canon so no yautja
+hue hue hue lol the Alien Saga in 5 minutes. The Alien Saga in 5 minutes. Alien Saga in minutes. Saga in 5 minutes. in 5 minutes. 5 minutes. Alien. 5 minutes. Alien Saga in 5 minutes. Emphasis, on Alien Saga in 5 minutes.
+Rand Aram Actually... now they are. Read the comics. Resurrection is no longer canon though. Predator, Alien and Prometheus have been fused together and I kinda actually like it. Look for the "Fire and Stone" comic series in this order: Alien, Predator, AVP, Prometheus. Prometheus Omega (finale) and now they are writing a sequel.
matthiasfsa
thanks
i like to think that only Prometheus, Alien and Aliens are cannon with the story
So do I, since Alien3 and Alien: Resurrection ruined it all. Not saying Prometheus wasn't bad though
***** you should watch the assembly cut of alien 3, it will change your mind. so far alien 1 and 3 are the best alien aliens being the third.
obri fajardo
u mean the directors cut.... still sucks!
Why would you include Alien Resurrection?
its part of the franchise... ?
+bo deflop would you consider the story for Alien Resurrection to be consistent with the tone and realism of the first 2 and possibly the 3rd?
+Chris Rardin each alien movie has its own tone. the story continues in alien resurrection, there shouldnt even be a question on why its included
+Chris Rardin No it's colourful the original 3 were fairly dark in tone.
+TheMksteel its a dumb movie. Everything about it is dumb. Oh look, hybrid alien Ripley made a basket without even looking ... soooo funny. The idea for Ripley 8 was dumb, the ridiculous comedy was inappropriate and it ruined the franchise. Case closed.
We don't talk about the movies beyond Aliens. James Cameron and Riddly Scott have both stated they were not canon. Hopefully we can clean that up with the Prometheus prequel saga as well as the as of right now Postponed Neil Blomkamp movie that will await go ahead until after Alien: Covenant is released.
the legends says the cat is still alive because it has 7 lifes
"5 minutes" more like 7:47.
what I learnt- nothing
Alien 4 Was the biggest Shitfest of the trilogy
*****
i happened to enjoy 4. 3 was the shitfest to me.
don't get me wrong, the story/writing/acting was horrible in both, but at least 4 had pretty special effects and cinematography to make up for it's subpar everything else. 3 had no redeeming qualities.
Check out that gameplay footage from Colonial Marines at the end. If only the game had looked like that!
Can we see more of Ripley's cat on Alien 5?
7:46
i hate being lied to
sadly aliens colonial marines screwed it all up. : (
Hopefully Alien:Isolation will make it all right again. : )
Thankfully Alien 3 and 4 are about to be explained away.
+kehvan Alien 3 is actually good. I really can't find any information as to why people hate it other than "it was a development hell" and "it's not like Aliens". Sure, only one of the surviving characters from the previous film doesn't die at the beginning, but why are people really expecting this to be a happy film?
kehvan I did google "why Alien 3 is bad", and many of the results were defending it.
CurtisAlfeld Which means the other half were panning it... read those.
+CurtisAlfeld there are two different cuts for the movie, the assembly cut and the theatrical cut.
the theatrical cut was of course the one to be released in the 90's wich was poorly edited since they locked the director out of the editing room, that's the main reason why alien 3 is so hated, since at release it was actually a terrible movie.
in 2004 though a new cut of the movie was released (altough the director complitly divorced the movie and had nothing to do with the new cut) called the assembly cut, this one actually made sense, and was a really good alien movie, this one is where the alien is born from an ox instead of a dog, a lot of things and cahracter development is added too, plus new effects, some scenes deleted etc.
the other reason why people hate alien 3 is because they killed newt, though i always hated that character so it wasnt bothered by it.
bromo sanovo I hated it for the plotholes.
1. In Prometheus, the alien ship was found on LV223. At the end of Prometheus, it was wrecked on that moon before launching away. How was the ship later found (in Alien 1) on the moon, LV426?
2.Why is the prisoner planet (Alien 3) listed as "Double Y Chromosome...Facility"? The prisoners did not have XYY karyotype syndrome.
love the 5 minutes series from IGN, hell i'd enjoy and love it even if its 20 mins.
man, too bad Marines turned out horrible
Good thing Isolation was amazing
+Nightmare Springtrap yep..l thats why I bought it
I always liked the game, I especially liked the multiplayer when you were able to play as the alien.
+miniofdoom01 the gaming master yeah, thats about the only thing i liked about it
Um.... 7 minutes 46 seconds?
LMAO this whole video was to hype up one of the worst games of all time.
SINATRA303
*points at no mans sky*
AbdefFable1
Not a bad game, just not the game we wanted.
what game?
Linus Newman
alien isolation
That's your opinion and it's meh. Alien Isolation is actually one of the great survival game since System Shock, BioShock, Dead Space and Doom 3
I only have one question ... why did the engineers stop their attack in the first place ?
Did someone stop them or what
Alien Logic: "Oh Look, A Flower Made Out Of Flesh! Let Me Put My Face RIGHT Over It"
I'm sorry, but Prometheus is such lore breaker, i don't consider it cannon
Alien Resurrection the best
it was 7 min...
Great review and great narrator!! :D
David did say sometimes to create one must first destroy or something like that
Alien 3 > Prometheus. Now that is some sad shit right there.
Nathan Estlund What's so bad about Prometheus? Everyone seems to hate it, but I quite enjoyed it.
Nathan Estlund
Speak for yourself bud, people expect answers and they were denied that, reality is, sometimes life is just full of questions and it'd be self-righteous to give answers in PROMETHEUS.
Where is Alien ISolation?
This was way before Isolation
Take no notice of Alien 3 and 4. They were garbage. Not worthy of the series.
And no longer cannon. THANK YOU NEILL BLOMKAMP! Neill Blomkamp is making a new Alien film that should be out in either 2016 or 2017. It will replace 3&4 with a sequel to Aliens! Ridley Scott is producing and also working on the project. Sigourney Weaver and Michael Beinn are confirmed to return!
I actually liked alien 3 it was a good adition in my opinion and back to the horror roots aliens got rid of
Respect the Paxton tribute at the end. IGN has class.
I have a theory that there are so many Engineer ships in the same region due to two factions of Engineers fighting. One group wishes to destroy them and another to protect the humans. There was a battle and the biological weapons carriers all were destroyed or crashed on nearby moons and planets. It is not hard to imagine seperate factions settling on different worlds. After many years of fighting a cease fire was issued but the factions remained seperate. The protectors of humanity had control of the planet seen in Covenant. And the attack by david could be seen as a military strike by the othe faction. This leads back to a continuing battle between the two.
only alien and aliens are tied together. 3,4 and prometheus are garbage
alien 3 is totally tied to alien 1 and 2 storywise, you may not like the fact, but it doesn't make it any more right.
when you explain the mystery egg, you can tie the third into the canon. until then - no
Zishy
easy: queen may have had one still inside of her when she chased Ripley to the dropship, layed it there and then the facehugger makes its way towards stasis tubes and Ripley.. the rest is Alien 3 intro. another but maybe a bit less plausible theory.. bishop is not as good as he may seem.
vubevube you and me we both know that is not how it works. bishop may have had alternative motives but there is a reason the magical egg is never shown.
i asume you dont know about the history of the third movie and how many times the script and the director changed, because none of them wanted to do the script and all asumed it was stupid and anachronistic towards the first 2 which were masterpieces. up to this day fans fight over which one of the first two is the better movie :)
Zishy
i do know a bit about it and by no means i am comparing it to the first two masterpieces (nr 2 die hard fan here)... but saying it's non-canon is a bit too much, it's dark, it's different, it's heavily flawed... but it still is Alien. I wonder if blomkamp Alien 5 that would disregard 3&4 would be better.
This is a damn good video!! Good job guys!
Where does Alien Isolation fit into all of this? (I know it's in between Alien and Aliens, but how do they connect?)
Vallentalv1 Alien Isolation takes place after the first Alien movie and the story connects by the daughter of Ellen Ripley, Amanda trying to find the flight recorder of her mother, but ending up meeting the Alien too.
Neil Blomkamp said: I’m not trying to undo or Alien Resurrection…My favorites are the first two movies. I want to make a film that’s connected to Alien and Aliens. That’s my goal."
Alien Saga: 1.Predator 2.Predator 2 3.Alien vs. Predator 4.Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem 5.Predators 6.Prometheus 7.Alien 8.Alien: Isolation 9.Aliens 10.Blomkamp's Alien (5)
the alien saga in less than one minute - A robot manipulated a pre-existing weapon of mass destruction for even greater effect due to the fact robots were made by people.
In my head-cannon the black goo is the same black goo from Species 2, and the prison planet Fury is the birthplace for the furian Riddick.
7:43 Bill Paxton....we miss him for sure.
great recap video
I'm excited for Covenant coming out in May
I hope all the pieces connect to the 1979 movie
They missed out on some true comedic moments, like discovering that the aliens are deathly afraid of cats and will stay away from them at all means. Making catto's secretly the most dangerous things alive.
4:45 omg he's the hitman
