Men start hating when women or Hollywood push the women are better and all men characters can be replaced by women, campaign.
Vasquez /Gorman died like champions
Yep. She hated him. He went back for her taking responsibility. They held that grenade....boom
The mech vs queen battle is one of the most epic fights in memories of my childhood.
Yes, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen the first time. Seeing Bishop get ripped apart blew my mind. I didn't realize he was an android.
@@Nerdporeal it reminded me of when my mom would argue with my grandma. Lol. Stay away from my kids you bitch.
I like how they are similair in that they are both mom’s fighting for survival of their kind. A clash between species and between technology and nature.
were you napping during the cafeteria scene where Ripley freaks out when she finds out he's an android? @@Nerdporeal
@@user-fx5cd4px3k I first watched the second half of the film when I was a kid. So I didn't see the scene you are pointing out when I initially saw what happened to poor Bishop.
Anyone who pushes this “fans hate women lead movies” needs to remember this movie series. This is how writing good women characters is done right. Disney could learn a thing or two since they insist on writing only crappy, boring, political agenda female characters.
Agreed, Sarah Connor as well and many other historic examples.
@@Nerdporeal people forget that in the opening scene, princess Leah fires a gun at someone🤭. The line that women haven’t had strong female characters in cinema is just a lie.
This is a great comment
Shout out to uma Thurman in kill bill
that was before they changed previously men characters
amen to that. a small scene in aliens (2) was so good, it infuriated me how bad writing of characters is these days.
im talking about the end of the movie, where ripley goes into the elevator to look for newt. while the elevator descends into the abyss, she prepares all her weapons like in autopilot. close to the end of the ride, the camera holds on ripley and she closes her eyes.. you can pretty much hear her thoughts like: "wtf am i doing here? im just going to die down here.. but i have to try and get that kid back".
"Aliens - Elevator Scene" here on YT. god that was a fantastic scene and character development..
modern movies? she wouldve been the ultimate badass at that point, backfliping behind aliens and snapping their necks, followed by an oh so quippy and relateable line 🙄
I feel like Alien 3 should've focused on the Weyland-Yutani corporation. There was an opportunity there to wrap the movie series as a trilogy.
Alien 1 - dealing with one alien
Aliens - dealing with a horde of aliens
Alien 3 - dealing with the source of the problem - the Company. THEY were the big trouble-makers in the first two movies. THEY wanted the Xenomorph. THEY screwed things up. So Ripley dealing with them should've been the big finale. Their own hubris could've been their downfall.
I like that idea, she could have gone to the source of it all and tried to bring them down a bit like resident evil video game going into the umbrella laboratory and working way to the end of the story
That villain was always there. And was always fought by Ripley. "I don't know what species is the worse, Burke. I don't see them fucking them self's by a goddam percentage"..
That would've made a great trilogy. Newt and Hick could even have bigger roles.
I think Blomkamps movie woukdve done exactly that. Alien 3 was a wasted opportunity
My idea for an alien tv-series is as follows: It takes places just before the events in the first alien movie and happens on a planet near where the nostromo spaceship
is shipping ore.
Weyland-Yutani is on the planet and have terraformed it for years,when they discovers a cave with lots of xenomorph eggs.
One of them get's infected and a xenomorph is born. It turns out to be a queen,and a lot of the Weyland-Yutani humans are infected and then
a war breaks out.
All the humans on the planet are wiped out and only a few manage to escape in a spaceship.Then they nuke the planet from orbit.
Then Weyland-Yutani regrets the decision and a hunt for the xenomorph begins.They get a tip that there's a crashed spaceship on lv426 and sends
the robot Ash on the Nostromo spaceship.
But they are informed that the mission has failed and that Nostromo has gone missing.Then Weyland-Yutani get's
a tip about an xenomorph on Fiorina161 and sends a team of researchers there.They finds a surviving prisoner that is impreagnated and a queen is born.
Weyland-Yutani then wants to use the xenomorphs on the planets where the engineers are located because they want the technology to seed planets with life.
They also want the elixir that provides humans with prolongued life.After they have managed to give birth to a flock of xenomorphs,they drops them
on an engineer planet and causes everyone of them to die.
Then they get hold of the blue elixir that gives
prolongued life.But several ships with engineers that where away from their planet when Weyland-Yutani wiped the
population out,pursue them and manages to get the elixir back,but gets trapped on the planet where both parties
crash.Then a battle takes place and the crew from Weyland-Yutani gets the elixir that gives them prolongued life
for thousands of years,but they are now trapped on the planet,with no means to get anywhere.But then
they see a light aproaching,but is the spaceship friends or foes ?
It turns out it is the engineers and after a battle they gets hold off the blue elixir once again,and that
gives the cliffhanger for a second season that we must wait several years to see???
Definitely prefer the Extended Cut. At first, I didn't even realise you don't get to see the pre-Aliens colony in the theatrical cut.
That just feels odd to me. We go from seeing LV-426 as an empty, barren land in Alien 1 straight to a ruined human colony in Aliens (theatrical cut). Extended Aliens lets us see the colony during a normal day and that makes the timeline of the location flow much better, IMHO.
I've seen a lot of fans of the theatrical cut say the Extended version ruined the pacing of the movie. But, personally, I thought the pacing of Extended Aliens was perfectly fine. In fact, after watching the theatrical cut later, I thought it was a tad too fast-paced.
Total Agreement. Thank you so much for sharing this take.
I used to agree with you, but now I feel that seeing the colony is unnecessary and detracts from the mystery and shock value arriving at the barren colony and wondering what happened
@@SuperGoose42 But what does that spoil, exactly? It shows nothing beyond of what the first movie already showed us. Just a facehugger. And the 1st movie also established the shit load of alien eggs on the ship.
So... there's no mystery here. And there never was. In neither cut.
@SuperGoose42 i disagree, i think it sets the movie up better establishing the colony and Ripleys own character arc.
@ThePreciseClimber Agreed
I liked how Ripley took over and take charge, barking out orders to the marine survivors. She really made this movie special.
Smoking saved her life haha!
A lighter can be used for far more things than merely lighting cigarettes. It's a very small multipurpose tool. Given its low cost and high level of availability in stores it's always struck me as odd so few people carry them.
Yeah, I generally don't light stuff up unless it's barbecue. Yeah outdoors stuff makes it extremely useful so yeah you're right
I used to keep one on my book bag in college but with how much I tend to have in my pockets I don’t need anymore items. Especially one I’ll most likely never use.
I should probably carry one on my person eventually. It may save my life....
One of the many brilliant things James Cameron did with this sequel to end all sequels is, he perfectly captured the look, feel, and even the color pallete of the original. And he even created a story superior to the original. That level of film-making excellence is non-existent now. Especially with the almost inevitable "curse of the sequel" as an inferior extension of the base film, that we just expect by now.
Story yes....i think the first movie in terms of atmosphere and sci fi horror disaster film is better.
He not only captured it but expanded the world to extraordinary places and broadened the "horizon" beyond anything feeble little mind of Ridley Scott could possibly imagine.
The film is far superior to the "original" in every single aspect except maybe cinematography but I'd argue they're on a par there even, though generally speaking Scott does outshine Cameron purely as a visualist in many instances.
In every other sense - writing, producing, directing, special effects, camera work, etc., Cameron is beyond reproach. He's a genius visionary with insane understanding of physics of the scene in both literal and metaphorical way - a talent & ability demonstrated by every single movie he ever made. Compared to him, Ridley Scott is a hit & miss machinery product and a mediocre director that's really good at self-PR though most of his films are infested with awful pacing, poor storytelling, bad writing, incoherent messaging, questionable perspectives and a plethora of embarrassingly bad performances - he's had too many truly awful movies made and less than a handful of remarkable ones.
In my view Alien was a fluke that mostly relied on the talents of others and he simply managed to not mess it up too much. He did manage to take a piss on Alien with Prometheus & Covenant later on though so bravo to him I guess 💪😂
Two of the greatest/scariest films ever made, shocking tbh. I watched them far too young, thinking no problem Lol. They done it's job to scare the hell out of me. The terror, fear, tension, realism makes it pure horror. Both are groundbreaking masterpieces way ahead of it's time.
Thanks for sharing your story. I did do an Alien video as well
@@Nerdporeal I'll have a watch. Good stuff 👍
No, Ripley 's tiny room is NOT on Earth but Gateway Station
Okay. Thanks
Great film, you did a great job here! BTW Hudson being a clown sure didn't detract from his badass moments.
Hudson had a character arc too, he went from a clown, to panicking, to helping them escape at the cost of his life. Awesome character. Now he would be insufferable with no arc if Aliens came out today
Hudson goes out like a beast in the end.. "Come get some, you want it too! Fuck you!"
Don't forget that Hudson also took out the facehugger attacking Newt. Had he not done so, the remaining characters would not have had time to save Newt, and she would have been impregnated. Later on, his sacrifice helped them escape, as he took out several aliens before going down.
If you break one of the sprinkler heads you will also make the alarm turn on. Be careful that water is nasty!
Hail my prince. I can only imagine that terraformed water being gross too
I didn't even know there was a sequel, and I just watched 'Alien' for the first time a few months ago. I mean sure, I've seen bits and pieces of it over the years but I don't recall ever watching it in it's entirety.
When I was 5 years old I saw a scene where a face-hugger or baby alien came out of someone's stomach. This left an indelible impression on 5-year old me; after that I never ate more than one pack of "Shark Bites". I was worried if I ate too many of those that a monster would rip come out of my stomach.
Really you didn't know Aliens existed. I was 11 when I saw Alien the first time and the chestburster scene left a mark on me too. Messed up at any age, I can only imagine being in the theater to see that on opening night!
@@Nerdporeal yeah, a long time I was actually mixing up the two movies. I would've known sooner if i hadn't waited so long to make a point of watching the first one. I think I'll watch 'Aliens' tonight.
@@DJRonnieG You are in for a treat...
The group checking the ceiling as the horde of aliens are slowly approaching, and Ripley and Hicks desperately trying to get through the floor after Newt falls into the water, are to this day the most tense moments I experienced in any media. As far as my opinion goes, this movie is the blueprint of how to make the perfect horror. The overwhelming majority of horror media misunderstand which emotion/feeling is the central driving force of the genre. It's not strong visceral emotions like fright or disgust. It's tension. A good horror knows how to cultivate and manage tension in a way that slowly grows into terror, and also how and when to relieve it so that it doesn't burn out or overwhelm the audience. Ironically, I think the Alien franchise is the textbook definition of this, not only in one, but two different mediums. Aliens in the sphere of movies, and Alien: Isolation in the sphere of videogames (even with the non-horror related issues of the latter that held it back from universal critical acclaim). For a franchise with so many mediocre or downright awful entries, it sure set the bar high with it's best releases.
Total.....Agreement. Original Halloween is a great example of tension and that is more unnerving than anything else. The grossout according to Danse Macabre is when the horror is a failure which in turn is created when terror (true tension) is a failure. Original Alien does this real well and then when the grossout does happen.....Kanes scene has stayed with me....(checkout my Alien video). Appreciate the comment. This is a great movie and was happy to make this video!
I love this movie so much but the fact that they removed the scene about her daughter is unforgivable. It makes Ripley’s relationship with Newt so much more meaningful, and with the added context of Ripley’s late daughter, the moment when Newt calls her “Mommy!” at the end is so emotional
A NEAR-perfect sequel. Cameron had me right up to the end, when Ripley depressurizes the cabin of the loader area, everything gets sucked out into space, yet Ripley is somehow able to breathe and hold the alien queen by her tennis shoe and seemingly indestructible elbow joint. I would've had her decapitate the queen with the loader or by some other method, then scramble to board the smaller ship with Newt and Bishop before the queen's acid blood eats through the hull and they're all sucked out into space.
Agreed killing newt and hicks and how the face huger managed to fire the ship or make it about. Its just silly
Alien 3 is not in my headcanon....lol
@@Nerdporeal yes me either
I like your writing crews take on this. Good editing. Nice pacing. Great narration. Well done team.
I showed the two movies back to back to my friends while we were on shrooms, you'd think it wouldn't go well but instead I've never seen them so invested in the movies we watch.
I thought the APC dropship crash caused the APP to explode. Whatever... great review of my all time fav.
Thank you. Hope you check out my Alien review as well and the rest of the channel to find something you maybe interested in. Stay Nerdporeal
Just realized that Burke or weyland picked goreman because he would be easy to manipulate due to his lack of experience. They also knew that Apone would follow orders by the t even from a rookie liuetenant. That's some awesome evil writing!
This is a lesser seen version of the movie. The automated guns and the live colonist scenes were not part of the cut most people saw. Thanks for including them
I think the extended version is thee only version. Thanks for watchin. I did a video on the og Alien too
This is great. One of my all time faves. Watching this brought a new perspective for me. I guess I was always invested in the actors and the drama, this let me see the movie in a new light. Great description and summary.
I am glad you found a fresh new perspective. Thanks for the feedback
James Cameron sure can make a sequel. Still waiting on Titanic Part II.
Jacks Revenge hahaha!
Ripley is such an amazing character 👏 I also love Micheal Biehns corporal Hicks. The second best character in the series after Ripley. I really wish he had got his chance to be the series lead with Bishop in the original alien 3.
This is in my top 10 best films of all time, I grew up watching this phenomenal sequel over and over. To this day it’s completely underrated.. how many times has a sequel outshone the first film? Not many, this being one of them. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I like the atmosphere of the first Alien more, but this movie had an excellent character arc for Ripley and the supporting cast. You can't go wrong with Syd Mead and Ron Cobb designs either.
Hope you check out my Alien Video as well and check out the rest of the channel to see if anything else interests you. Stay Nerdporeal
At the end of the movie when Ripley kicked ass and defeated the queen, Newt hugs Ripley and call's her mommiy , I couldn't help but cry . I love this movie!!! Great ending!!!
Agreed. Paid....off
Awesome bri. Hoping that third concept movie comes to life.
I hope so too it looks awesome, go check out my latest trailer. Serial horror sessions. I am asking the viewers for what horror films I should review. Or thrillers or whatever.
Alien scared me when I first saw it. Aliens was awesome and worked on a number of levels The first being the story and the next was the chemistry between all the actors. That same chemistry was in the first one but not in the third one.
Thank you for watching this old rusty video. I did do an Alien review as well if you haven't seen it. It has a cool introduction
The end of Aliens is such a relief after what they went through. BUT Alien 3 is the saddest film I have ever watched !Just imagine how the 3 goes make me sad. Ripley lost her “daughter”. One more time she has to fight with an alien. Furthermore the prisoners try to rape her. To make matters worse ? Ripley has a xenomorph inside she knows her time is coming. Bravely she kills herself at the end. I watched the saga when I was 10. I am still traumatized.
Alien 3 is a terrible sequel to Aliens. Does the latter a major disservice, hence my refusal to acknowledge it
Great review. Agree, it was a great sequel. I'd love to see Blomkamps take on a ret-conned A3.
Oh yeah just the concept art alone was impressive and next level to take the Alien franchise
Thanks for spoiling Aliens 3 🤦🏻♂️
Movie came out over thirty years ago.
Aliens is such a good sequel, because it changes the genre from Creature-Horror to Action. Creature-Horror only works, as long you do not know the creature. It's works on the fear of the unknown. Another Creature-Horror movie would not have been interesting, since we already knew the creature.
One of the 2 best sequels ever. James Cameron also had the other one.
Sure thing. Check out the vid i did on the first Alien. Thanks for watchin
I think Avatar: The Way of Water will also age like wine. Its already grown on me a lot. The more times you see it, you more you can see how smart the script actually is
Review starts at 18:20.
Looking back at Aliens makes you realize how disrespectful it is to kill off all these characters from the previous movies in Alien 3.
Yup. Did Aliens dirty
Ripley was still honestly a woman and also a badass. It wasn’t about usurping male roles. She was authentic and her character was never patronizing. It’s why her character was so legendary, imo.
It's why even with a female protagonist, this was more geared towards men....because men can identify with a female character in a story and get invested. She stepped up! This character arc was great
I’m going to make a review video of this review video
Uh oh
1986 - A true legend was born.
Agreed
I agree with your title. It was a perfect sequel. That's very rare.
Great summary of the film. Please try to avoid using the crazy digital transitions and stick with the fades and dissolves, maybe a flash to white. Way less distracting.
Its an older vid. I barely use transitions anymore. I was a sweet summer child then. Thanks for watching. I also did a video on the OG Alien. Stay Nerdporeal
While I agree the movie is great mostly because of the fantastic cast I don't think it's "perfect". The problem for me is the treatment of the central characters: the aliens. They are basically turned into a giant homicidal ant colony. In the first movie the alien was a mysterious creature with unknown motivations and perhaps even intelligence. Here, it's just a bug hunt. I also had some difficulty suspending my disbelief that a child would be the sole survivor of the massacre. In fact, the Newt character reminded me of the Jurassic Park movies where you know the children will always escape the bite of the Raptors. Fake danger. I thought Alien 3 was darker and deeper (the Assembly cut, I mean). The focus on the action took precedence over story narrative, at least for me. Still, far superior to most sequels.
Thanks for the review of one of MY personal sci-fi favorites of all time, and deservedly so. This was a fantastic follow-up with a very different tone to the first. I also think that the director's cut makes the film much better. Hope to see more movie reviews form you. Check out Species which also has Giger's art in it.
Thanks. This movie was way more positive in tone and a great step up for Ripley that I tried to base my review on that. I will check out Species. Lots of movies to see looking backwards.
@@Nerdporeal Yeah, I think Alien had more desparation in it because it was a total unknown species, and it was picking off the crew one by one. That has a higher scare factor than many Aliens and a bunch of army trigger fingers. But, still, Aliens was a very enjoyable flick and added to the lore immensely.
It would've been a big mistake not to let Cameron direct this masterpiece. You wouldn't have had the numerical art in the background, which I'm sure is making you all scratch your heads over. But that's how you know Cameron was the best man for the job.
Next time you watch Aliens, look for the number 57 on the walls and pipes. Try to figure out how the sight of those images apply to Ripley in that moment. It's a genuine head-scratcher but the use of these numbers proves that Aliens is FAR from a mindless action film. But if you are so involved in the story and characters that you cant see this blatant numerical art, then Cameron has succeeded as a writer and director.
What's even more cool is trying to figure out the value and importance of other numbers scattered throughout the movie.
When do you see number 57? What other scenes have numerical art in the background you can list out?
@@Nerdporeal Well, I'm not gonna give you all of the instances. But look at the wall over Newts head when Ripley lays her down for a nap. It's very lightly painted on the wall.
And then we get Alien 3 where Ripley is completely destroyed as a character. We lose two beloved characters, one of which is actually dissected in front of our eyes.
Gross. Terrible decisions here.
@@Nerdporeal You can say that again. After going through h**l to save Newt, Ripley just moves on after her death, dissection and cremation like nothing ever happened. She spreads eagle almost immediately. These fans love to pretend that Ripley is in some self-destructive cycle, but they are literally lying to themselves. Ripley was just written like s**t in Alien 3
I dont even acknowledge it
I like this film. but, I played alien isolation a few months back and can't stop thinking, why didn't they make aliens in space? It would've been so cool. Still a great film but the older I get the more I love the first film.
I guess a change of setting was necessary. I feel what you just said should have been Alien 3
@@Nerdporeal yeah, that would've improved it. I didn't hate that film to be fair.
A shame the shrieking Newt wasn't devoured.
Lol
I always thought there was a differnce between drone aliens and warriors?
I forget...haha. BTW seeing your name, i did some nintendo related retrospectives for my channel as well. Hope you enjoy them
keep on rockin!@@Nerdporeal
ur videos are criminally underrated
Thank you. I appreciate that! Hope you enjoy the rest of the channel
I watched this movie last night and there’s so much you can learn as a writer
Yep the character arc....
The xenomorph was a day old. These Aliens have been alive for weeks without any contact with any human. So it makes sense that they look thinned out and act more primal
Good point. I forget if the xenomorph lifecycle was fully fleshed out
I think its always wise to carry a lighter anywhere, whether youre a smoker or not. Fire has always been our first source of heat and light at night
Yeah haha, i probably should do so even though im a nonsmoker. Thanks for commenting on this video. I really aporeciate it. Hope you check out my Alien vid and other content
Thank you for, without warning, spoiling Alien 3, in a review of its predecessor... 👍
I'm so sorry man, it was one of my early vids and I didn't make that consideration at the time. Once again, sorry
Oh and bill Paxton test in peace
It's hard to believe he's gone. Same age as my parents. RIP Bill Paxton and my father who also passed.
@@Nerdporeal im sorry my friend may your father rest in peace also . My old man is getting old he survived cancer but he is 81 in August im dreading his passing. Doing my best to talk as often as i can . The man is still working if you can believe it workaholic.
The cat hissed because he was frightened and knew the alien was about to burst of Ripley in her nightmare.
Understood. There is also an Alien retrospective i did that didnt blow up like this one did. Hope you enjoyed the video. Stay Nerdporeal
for me this is the superior movie...the best in the series easily...it has everything from alien + better writing and i think the setting suits it better
i saw this in preschool and as a grown man i still get chills from this
Same. I mustve rewatched Alien and Aliens at least a hundred times. I made a video on Alien as well. Check it out
Alien's is the very best sci-fi horror Ever !!!
Agreed. Event Horizon is up there though...
Aliens is the Citizen Kane of the action / sci-fi/ horror genre
@LukeLovesRose excited for the interquel Alien Romulus?
I didn't see the first movie before seeing this one, so I had no idea what to expect. It blew me away! I still didn't see the first one until a few years later, and was kind of disappointed.
Yeah, Alien was a slow burn. Check out my Alien retrospective, I actually mention that I saw Aliens first in that video as well.
6:15 this whole minute of scene showing newt with her family and stuff and mom and dad ... where was this in the movie? I do not recall any of that whole 1-2 mins of what you showed in this vid in any of the movie? did I miss that or something??
It's in the extended directors cut. That is the definitive version of the movie to watch imo.
@@Nerdporeal ahhh ok makes sense now. I had just watched the movie before I commented and so was searching for some answers on a few things and saw this vid and then when saw those scenes was like "ok I never got up to go to the bathroom or do anything when watching this and I swear I do not remember seeing any of that in the movie? did I pass out and fall asleep or something at some point!?!?" was driving me nuts LOL
I think a better 3rd installment of the Alien franchise, would have been a return to the derelict ship and maybe the Hadley's Hope blast site. The Xenos, much like cockroaches, might hVe survived the nuclear processor detonation. A team of researchers attached with a heavily armed battalion of Marines perhaps. Then set up the 4th to the rescue of Ripley, Hicks and Newt in the lifeboat pod.
I think the third film should have taken it directly to weyland yutani since they are the true villains of the Alien franchise
I think Alien and Aliens are second only to the first two Godfather or Star Wars films as the best one-two punch in film history.
Agreed on first two film punch. My ranking Godfather > Star Wars > Alien > Terminator
@@Nerdporeal Nice lineup! I IMMEDIATELY remember the Terminator films right after I posted this.
I forgot Predator if you think that also fits...
Agree Aliens was a perfect sequel... this was not a review thought but a recap.
It was a review, the recap is part of it.
As a kid i loved Aliens and it was probably my favorite in trilogy, but watching it now it kinda didn't aged well imho...it is rushed, full of plot holes with unbelievable bad military low IQ logistics that kills immersion, though i could still watch it thanks to 80's nostalgic vibe atmosphere and soundtrack, but still have to turn off big part of my brain to enjoy.
This kind of movies cannot be squeezed into such a short 2h time frame and be good...too many stuff and not enough time.
Low IQ military logistics? I am curious what kills the immersion for you. I think the story arc is solid and the mix of action and horror and suspense is almost unmatched...
You say “hence” a lot
Habit for me. Thanks for watching.
Besides all of the obvious triumphs of this film, a lot people still leave out the music and some of the best fucking sound design you'll ever hear!!!
James Horners music is epic af. I felt like I was really in the Space Marines
@@Nerdporeal Oh absolutely no doubt! One of my favorite parts to hear is Ripley's trip down the elevator. When the music goes quiet...oooh man that's some great sound design?
Agreed. RIP James Horner
This movie was the very best of all Alien movie's.
I prefer Alien but this is extremely close
Thanks really enjoyed this , well written and edited. A few points you made i hadn't heard or had forgotten.
Thank you so much. Your support is appreciated.
@@Nerdporeal its a pleasure my friend truly. Il follow your career with great interest ( chancellor palpatine) .
@@shanenolan8252 As long as I don't get delimbed and burned on a lava planet....
@@Nerdporeal lol
Both versions of Alien 3 are a big waste of time. They are not good movies in any way. They destroy all three main characters in Aliens. They replace Newt and Hicks with the most unlikable characters imaginable. Heck, some of them even try to assault Ripley. And we're supposed to care if they live or die? No f**king way.
And in the same movie, Ripley spreads eagle for the first ex-con she sees. WTF?
And they showed absolutely no originality by making an Alien born from an ox.
Well....she spread for a young Tywin Lannister haha but yeah, this is a horrible followup to an incredible film and a disservice to its incredible characters. Im still mad at Scott for shelving Blomkamps concept
i really dont like the Special Edition of this film.
introducing Newt before discovering her erases all mystery of what happened on the colony. Im glad they cut it out, but it shouldnt be in the film regardless.
the gun sentry scene is good though. should have left that in the original cut.
I get it but i liked seeing that connection to the og film. You should check out my vid on Alien.
Not even going to watch this. I just wanna say that the first movie is a perfect masterpiece of skin crawling horror and suspense. Aliens is boring cheesy '80s action fluff with masculine forgettable characters that are just there to get killed, no sense of claustrophobia or desperation, the stupid child-in-danger trope, and worst of all, no suspense or horror whatsoever! It's just as forgettable as the other two sequels, given I only saw them once and nothing stood out nearly as much as anything in the first movie. Sorry, not sorry.
By the way, I refuse to watch Prometheus, Alien Covenant, or that new cashgrab that's currently in development.
Yeah I soured on Prometheus and those movies. I prefer Alien because of what you just said but I think giving Ripley a redemptive character arc with Newt being the center was better than her arc in Alien (which was also great too). I disagree on Aliens being boring, and there was some quite a bit of tension and some horror aspects especially with Ripley going down alone.
Sigourney Weaver. ❤❤❤❤❤
Definitely check out my Alien video too. Not nearly as high in the algorithm as this one was.
It truly is a perfect sequel. It was infarct so good that I never understood why almost all other sequel sucked.
Dont know either. Thanks for checking this out. I hope you check out the rest of the channel. I did a video on the first Alien too.
So we are supposed to just pretend Alien did not exist? The Colonial Marines video game took things in a much BETTER direction Neil Blomkamp wanted to go. I'm not dismissing the AvP movies either. And the David Android didn't create the xenomorphs; he only recreated them.
How so? Im not as familiar with the story. Alien does not exist? Not sure what youre getting at. I did an Alien Retrospective too, this vid is a sequel to that one.
One of my favorite movies top 1-3
Thanks Ray, this video is a sequel to the first Alien Video i did. I think the link is in the description. That one gets little love....
FULL RIETREAT ALIEN.
Definitely check out my alien video too, the prequel to this video
You spelt 'terrible' wrong it doesn't start with a P nor does it end erfect
I see a blank comment here. Did you say something? Speak up!
I watch the special edition in the cinema yesterday for Alien Day, it’s a masterpiece. I smiled the whole way through. Which is weird I know.
Awesome man. If you haven't already, i did one for the first film too.
I’ll check it out, thanks
That one is nowhere near as popular in the algorithm. That movies trailer is probably my favorite of all time
Great content. Subscribed
Thanks. Check out my first Alien video if you havent
Really enjoyed this review. Its such an iconic movie on so many levels.
Thank you so much. Definitely check out my Alien Review since this Aliens review was a sequel to that one. I hope you find other stuff on the channel that interests you. Thanks again and Stay Nerdporeal!
This is still a huge movie !!!
The last good Alien film.....
Aliens was a great movie but to claim it had little to no flaws is a ridiculous statement and claiming Alien 3 isn’t a good movie because it has no happy outcomes is equally ridiculous. Aliens is family a action movie so wasn’t able to continue the theme of the original. Alien 3 tried with questionable degree to restore the original tone. Simple minds didn’t ask did another Xenomorph stow away on board in keeping with the hive. Simple minds also cannot get around the convenient plot holes. According to the writers the acid blood is neutralized after the creatures death. This is as flawed as it gets because it was the largest problem during the film even working out where they were let alone working out exactly when they died. In keeping with this the acid blood seemed to be conveniently effective or not depending on the writing. Also one of the major flaws remains the behaviors of the aliens as well as their look. Even in aliens the strength of the aliens seemed to be flexible according to the needs of the writing. The Queen tore effortlessly through support struts when chasing Ripley and Newt but was unable to even scratch the power loader nor did it bleed when it was crushed by the falling power loader nor seemed able to lift something it should have found relatively light.
Yeah all good points. I still think Alien 3 did Aliens dirty and wouldve preferred a horror action sequel to Aliens taking out Weyland Yutani in the vein of Terminator 2 but with Xenomorphs and a new type of Queen or somethin like Neil Blomkamps concept

The was enough possibilities to explore abilities that were hinted at but we hadn’t seen yet. There was and still is to create and explore the Alien universe and the human universe it exists in. We have seen Cameron’s take given a chance to explore the scope of his imagination. Let’s not be afraid to give someone else the same latitude.
Ugh I’m starting to hate the term “strong female character.”
In this case....its totally true
Theres NOTHING superflous in aliens Script, everything we see or hear has a function. This makes a pressure cooker Script, and camerons Action mind trsnslates his own Vision into the best action Film ever.
Agreed tight script with flawless character arcs and loads of action and thrills. A faithful sequel to Alien but different and that's okay
District ten is a dumb name
What would you call it?
Newt ruined the movie, and James Cameron can't scare a two year old. Nice vid
I did a similar video on the original film if you're interested. Glad you enjoyed it
Oh i was listening to the soundtrack recently easily one of the best soundtracks ever it doesn't get enough credit i remember parts of it were used in other movies like Harrison Ford movie patriot games used part in a montage.
This soundtrack gets copyrighted quicker than any other I've worked with. That's why the background is mostly sci-fi droning sounds in this video
@@Nerdporeal yes music copyright is a bitch but it really is a good one up there with hans Zimmer and jonh Williams imo
Alien 3 is a superior movie to aliens by every possible metric.....
Alien 3? What is that? I think you made that up
bill paxton was the best part of the movie i think, almost annoying but just enough to cut the tension
Hudson was a very memorable character. He stepped up despite his fear and gave his life...
Great review um I mean synopsis. Give it a rest Nerdporeal
Lol

Bait and Switch
@@Nerdporeal of the worst kind
Good video
I love this movie.
What about this video?

True statement
Alien is a perfect movie, Aliens was a campy joke.
Watch my Alien video.
Bravo sir, excellent video.
Thank you for stopping by and supporting this. I appreciate it greatly.
@@Nerdporeal the pleasure is all mine. I hope to get to your level of quality in the future.
I'm still trying to improve myself. Im humbled
Quality.
Thanks for the comment. I really appreciate it.
The better retrospective.... heavy spoilers sucks.
Movie is as old as me. Later vids will warn of spoilers. My bad
@Nerdporeal I was referring to the channel "heavy spoilers." I thought your retrospective far superior, lol, but thanks anyway 👍🏻
Oh....i appreciate that! Thank you. I did do a vid on the original Alien if you havent checked it out. I will need to check out this channel now haha
I'm halfway through your video and it's just been a play by play commentary following everything that happens in the film. Hardly a review.
Thats a review too. A retrospective too. You can skip to the final few minutes then if youre not interested in the story commentary.
