We're checking out one of my favourite movies ever made in this one! Aliens [1986] Directed by James Cameron.

HOWEVER, ... I've not seen this movie in a minimum of 16 years. Will I still think it's one of my favourite movies after watching it, will I still hold it to a high level or will I now start to see the cracks because I'm now trained in this medium. Like I mention in the intro, sometimes it's a gift, often times... a curse!

Originally, I was trying to share this reaction with a colleague of mine [The Production Company where I work] but sadly, we could not get our schedules to line up plus a few things on his end. I didn't want to hold out any longer, I wanted to see this movie as much as dissect for you guys.

You chaps and chapettes have really given a fresh life to movies for me, something I found boring and had no interest in later years. Again, the curse of working with cameras, you don't want to watch or touch one after work.

So, from the bottom of my soppy heart, thank you so much for bringing me "Back To The Movies!" 🙏🏻❤

It's great that this has reinvigorated your love for movies! I don't want to speak for everyone, but at least for me, it has given me another perspective to appreciate them and see why I love them so much. Can't wait to watch this!

You really have, it's shocked me a little. Originally I started this channel for gaming etc but now this has happened. Maybe because it feels like I'm hanging out with you guys as I do it. I dunno... I hope you enjoy the two of us smashing this movie together later on! Boom💪🏻

How I have waited for this one but my faith never waved, Thank you Kai !

I'm pretty sure you already have it on the list, but since you just dropped this, you HAVE to watch Alien Isolation.

Yes! Especially with him watching alien earth too

It's a shame the theatrical release left out most of the backstory of Ripley's daughter. The whole point of it was to set up for why Ripley was so determined to look after Newt throughout the movie.

The close-up on the kid on his tricycle when we are presented with the colony, straight out of The Shining. Love it. Alien 3 and 4, and Terminator 1 and 2 next please!!! This is such amazing content! Thanks, Kai! Also, here is a little fun fact that testifies to how influential this franchise is: The pilot line "we're in the pipe, five by five" has been copied by Blizzard in StarCraft 2 and given to the medivac dropship pilot in-game 24 years later.

You said less is more, but it ties in to the point I had in my mind as you got into the post-video section. But you hit it. Limitation. "Limitation is the mother of invention. Can't keep warm. Invent fire. Need to move a heavy load, so invent the wheel. Limitations." - Mordin Solus, Mass Effect 2 I think the reason we have this massive problem in modern film/tv especially is because no one has to get creative with dealing with limitations. George Lucas had to basically invent dozens of techniques and even technologies in order to get his vision of Star Wars to life. You can even use Lucas again as the example of the problem when it comes to the prequels. Those limitations were gone with the invention of CGI. Now you can show whatever you want. You don't have to be creative in getting your vision across. You just slap the idea into a computer and show every detail of what you think you wanted. The finished product just... doesn't have the same feel. That same lasting impact. In 20 years, no one will remember Disney's sequel trilogy. But even today, more than 40 years later, everyone who saw the original Star Wars still remember it. A fantastic film, and a quite enjoyable analysis. Thanks for watching and sharing.

Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I want to mention this again, you're using your mind more when watching older films or something out of shot. That's why older films can't be beat.

massively late on the comment section but there was only 157 drones plus the queen plus the eggs , so how many were killed during the film? i would say a lot. there's also the possibility of some still out looking for pray.
