this movie is the greatest sci fi horror classic for a reason. still awesome and looks amazing today. Ripley is a legend and one of my all time fave female characters. it's not a remaster it's just amazing filmmaking :) great sets, amazing cinematography.. and ZERO cgi. everything you see are real practically built sets and alien creature animatronics. even computer screen graphics are hand drawn by animators. they won an award for Best Visual Effects in 1980 :) this is why some high quality movies like that can look better than modern day movies that are often riddled with bad cgi that can look very uncanny valley

I'm honestly surprised you watched this, but it's a pleasant one to be sure.

You can deep dive to find information on some of the alternative / deleted scenes and the proposed original ending all of which are all wild. Aliens is just as good but in a different direction. Absolutely worth the watch. The special edition has some great set up and character info, but isn't necessary. Though it's a slippery slope to Terminator and Terminator 2 from there if you haven't seen those ...

My mother to this day refuses to watch this movie with me even though I tell her "I swear, it's not a horror movie." There's one guy in an Alien suit. Also it's hilarious that the cast and crew had ZERO idea that a chestburster was going to come out of Kane at the dinner table. So all reactions were legitimate from the actors themselves. No one except some of the camera crew was told and the actors wondered why everyone was covered in plastic just before the scene.

I wouldn't say THE greatest, but its one of the greatest. And its obviously one of the two best (BY FAR) in the Alien franchise. Alien(s) being the other. The first one being psychological and the follow up film shifted ever so slightly from full psychological to more action. Both being completely complimentary of one another. All the other sequels fall well short of the first two.

The 70's to 80's...the BEST era of psychological horror and sci-fi films. Us GenX kids were fortunate to see these in real time (and equally traumatized). It was a time when there were more movies that relied more on playing with your fears and your senses than relying on special effects to scare you: Alien, The Fog, The Shining, The Exorcist, The Thing, Possession, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Omen, The Wicker Man, etc.

I mean, I wouldn't say no to you reacting to more Sigourney Weaver movies. Holes, Avatar, Galaxy Quest, Ghost Busters .

So, Ash, the Android Science Officer, is Bilbo from the Lord of the Rings. Kane, the guy who gets futuristic open heart surgery, is John Hurt, he also played Olivander in Harry Potter, though I am unsure if you have seen those?

So, I'm unsure of hypothetical future space travel, but in real world maritime travel, ignoring a distress call violates international law, and you could face serious penalties for doing so. I guess if the humans here have such extensive space travel, it might apply here too?

So, Primordial, in this context, is used to say that the World they landed on is in the very early stages of developing into a life bearing world. Give it a few million years and it'll form a stable atmosphere, give it a billion, and you could have an advanced form of life living on the world.

So, the Xenomorph, the name of the Alien Species, is closer to wasps than Spiders. Its Kingdom would be Animalia, Phylum-Arthropoda, Class-Insecta, Order-Parasitoida. For a Scientific Name- Xenomorphus sapiovorus, or Plagiarus praepotens.

That water is condensation from the gas they are hauling. It is a Mining/Cargo Hauler. As the temperatures change, water forms on the outside of the tanks, and eventually drips, its essentially rain.

Awsome reaction! Hey if you plan on checking out the sequel, i highly reccomend the special edition version. Both are good but the SE version adds a lot of context to the story and main character and is prefered by the director.

If you watch Aliens, the special editions adds so much to the movie.
