The only trailer breakdown that matters.

Zero gravity with acid blood floating all around you.... man that's a great new idea for a nightmare scenario. I hope it's done well

You’re really the primary reason I still have hope for this franchise and IP. I’m really not one for deep lore of most fiction. Your no nonsense delivery and videos over the years always keep me interested. Can’t wait to see this on the big screen now. Thanks.

Remember kids: if a chestburster is smashing through your ribcage, grab a lamp with the brightness of the sun and shine it behind your back. Don't be like John Hurt, laying there doing nothing!

The opening early window pane shot has Blade Runner influences on both sleeves. That homage but not direct replication of style is felt through the whole trailer. I feel like this is in good hands.

Ten hours since the trailer came out and already a video on it, nice work!

I’m just glad that Alien films are still being made. There is a chance this movie will be at least good enough which will make me a happy Alien fan.

Can I just put it out there that Fede is a complete details man: look at the opening shot of Spaeny shielding her eyes from the glare and how her hand casts the shadow of a face hugger across her features and another shadow (Xeno-like) looms behind her on the wall. Splendid cinematography imo.

that one face hugger coming on like a drunken prom queen

The shot of the alien molting makes me hyped. I really hope we get to see the whole process. It would be fun to see it fleshed out…

Spoiler Alert; David is running the Romulus lab teaching the Aliens how to play the flute! 😎

Stay Frosty

I was there on opening night for Alien. I was 11 years old and my father took me to see my first R-rated movie. I remember walking out of the theatre and I felt...violated. I have been waiting for another movie to make me feel the same. While some have come close, none have ever matched Alien. I will be there on opening night for Alien Romulus. Maybe, if I'm lucky, I'll get some of that old feeling back again. My heart is absolutely open to it.

I was blown away with this one... This is setting up to be one hell of come back to the origins for Alien universe!!!! What a glorious day!! The environments, the artificial lighting, the quirky tech, all that retro feel from the first two films returns to this marvelous universe!!!

I was born in 79 and have been a fan since the beginning. I do not go to movie theatres anymore, I will make an exception for this new film for certain.

The acid blood in sub space did it for me. Hope we get a Queen Alien tease. This look disgustingly good!!!

I refused to be hyped about any film or tv show these days for obvious reasons, but you're making it difficult. Keep em coming

Alien 3 was too bleak for most . Thats what made it perfect

My life has changed a lot since I first got into your videos, I was a jobless man with no idea how I was going to make anything work a few years ago. Now I have a plan, and I finished college and have a decent job. I appreciate your videos so much because I don't have time to find this info anymore.

Those Alien Isolation references are *chef's kiss* - they begun with that sneak peak on set photo that included a Save Station from the game.

The teaser was better. It relied more on sound & kept things mysterious. The new trailer has shown us the certain deaths of at least 2 characters. I hope they're well written enough for us to care when they die because the trailer treats them as disposable.

Hopefully it'll be good; but I've been burned before on this franchise. The production design LOOKS like Alien & Aliens, but "teens-in-space" isn't very reassuring. I heard someone say, roughly, that the people who made Starwars originally were inspired by all sorts of movies & literature; the people making SW movies now are just inspired by watching Starwars. I *hope* that the same isn't true here. Paying visual lip service to the look of the first two movies, but using it as set dressing for a teen slasher movie, would be disappointing.

Thank you for the trailer breakdown I was waiting for. Your channel on everything Alien has been the way I keep the whole story of Alien dear to my heart because I’ve been a huge fan of the 1979 OG. This trailer does not disappoint, paying homage to a lot of origin references such as the blue mist and introducing fresh ideas similar to that of Alien Isolation. I am totally hyped about this and know that Fede Alvarez will not disappoint us. Kudos to a great trailer breakdown my friend. Love your channel btw. It’s the only one I come to for my dose of Alien lore.

“Stop Your Grinnin and Drop Your Linen”-Rip Hudson. This looks great can’t wait to see it👌🏾

it looks like the film is taking visual cues from the alien isolation game.

I’m glad Alien is still kicking and I’m glad that *you* are still here to tell us about it.

cant believe how fast you upload its so epic thank you for this videos!!!

Awesome breakdown, with so much thought and detail, very much appreciated. I've been waiting since 1979 for this, and still await a Covenant sequel !

Waiting patiently on this one. It's a tough wait because I am feeling it this time, at last! I knew after seeing the trailer that your break down of it would come fast and you didn't hang around or disappoint. Thank you for that 👌

Looks like the station has a dry heat atmosphere.

New sub. Thanks for all your content, great stuff!!

I've never been so eager for ALIEN THEORY's follow-up to a trailer! Thanks

Just THAT facehugger shot tells me Alvarez knows what an Alien movie should be in the modern era.

The shot at about 1:38 of the trailer makes me wonder if we're finally going to see empaths in an Alien movie. Also, the idea of floating around acid blood in zero G is an amazingly terrifying concept!

Thanks for the breakdown, Alien Theory. I have been waiting for your breakdown to drop since the trailer dropped, lol

I'm curious about the floating rock thingy being scanned by red lasers as it appears to be entering an open airlock. Could that be the original alien, perhaps somehow cocooned and hibernating and going into some kind of stasis to survive the cold vacuum of space. The shot of the fingers opening up and extending... could this be Big Chap himself "thawing out" onboard the station. Maybe these are scenes from before the main timeline of the movie... flashbacks to a timeframe before the main characters arive at the space station.

Producers. “Everyone loves Alien and Aliens. Everyone doesn’t like Prometheus and Covenant.” “How about we do Alien meets Aliens?” “Hey,everyone also loves that game, Alien Isolation” “Ok let’s do Alien, meets Aliens, meets Alien isolation” “Got it” “Wait, there’s also some devotees of Alien 3 out there so throw in a few nods too” “Cool…cool,cool,cool” The trailer has me a little worried this is gonna just be fan service over actually servicing the fans. There’s so much playing off our nostalgia of the grails of the first two. I’m gonna zone out if it just reheats scenes from those movies, and especially if we start hearing characters repeat classic lines from previous films. “Game over!” Indeed. Still, a reasonable chance this will be the best we’ve had since 1991 (I’m an Alien 3 fan) I’m hoping, like Alien Theory, there’s new stuff all been hidden from the trailers.

Those "artificially rendered eggs" look eerily similar to the facehugger embryos that David snuck aboard the Covenant at the end of that movie.

Been waiting for this video man! You nailed it! As a fellow Canadian (London, ON), we appreciate you and cant wait to see this!

You have such a great voice for this

Oh alien theory I am excited to see the content you can produce from this movie and the movies to come 🎉😬

Such an excellent breakdown! Really nice to get an optimistic take too! Really hyped 😄 Subscribed!

I have been waiting for your take. Thanks. I'm so amped for this movie.

That's not our system...

ugh... im worried about this trailer... it seems a lot like the plot of resurrection if you think about it... and that , while entertaining, was not a good alien film... esp this early in the timeline, i dont like the idea of them already developing any stage of xenos , personally i would prefer no explanation as to what eggs are doing on that station and let us try and figure it out ourselves, a big reason why the orginal film was so great... STOP TRYING TO GIVE US ALL THE ANSWERS!

Thought you did a great job! Nicely done with the breakdown.

The sound dropping out is one of the coolest moments I've ever seen in a trailer. I am trying to keep my expectations in check, but I am over the moon hyped for this movie.

Will be interesting to see how this ties in with Aliens given Ripley's still floating out there. When was Hadley's Hope established on LV-426?

"What about the bonus situation ?"

I think we see big chap in survival mode. That floating weird object coming into the station I think is him all balled up to survive a vacuum and the shot with the hand unfolding is him coming out of it.

Yeah I'm on the same page, optimism. Just happy they continue the franchise tbh.

I was already hype but there's a hive... Im so happy

finally, I have some questions that need answering

Love your videos! I’m hyped will be there opening night! LETS ROCK!!!

My main concern is that it'll end up being 'Alien: Greatest Hits meets Friday The 13th', but will give it a chance on the big screen.

Excited for this and I hope it does well and encourages them to make alien awakening!

I'm excited. Most definitely!

"Something is moving and it ain't us"- Hudson

Breakdowns appeared mere minutes after the trailer's release but I waited for yours.

I just wanted a *God Damn David Trilogy* , man. I know I'm in the minority in enjoying every movie in the franchise thus far despite their flaws but one more movie with David brings the whole damn thing together. Instead we're getting this and Gladiator 2, Pascal Boogaloo. Ridley's earned the freedom to do whatever project he wants unhindered but Jesus Christ am I disappointed that his last movie may be one no one ever wanted. I haven't seen your channel before and I'm commenting before even watching this so I look forward to your insight, already subbed. I just needed to get the rant out now that this trailer has finally dropped. I'm still in for this one but my one reservation is that great casting clearly shouldered the weight of the last 4 movies and this cast is for shit. Zero charm to be had to soften the blow of this movie sucking in any aspect so it's gonna have to rock on it's own feet. I do hope this adds something worthwhile to the story but as far as my hype is concerned I'm simply supporting this on the deluded hope that if it brings in enough they'll see reason and conclude David's story. Fassbender is only 47, there's still time.

Been waiting a long time for a new alien movie. Hopefully it’s good and not “remember this?” like what matrix 4 did. 😐

I was waiting for you to make this video

good contribution alien theory. hopefully this will revitalize the franchise, this almost feels like something that may have come from the comics from the 90's

Very excited for this!

So many people n channels on yt doing teaction n ahit for the trailer who no doubt know nothjng about aliens but there was only one dude i wanted to hear the thoughts of. Great vid as always duder. Im pumped for this flick honestly

The only alien movie I’ve seen in theaters was Alien 4 as a teen. I should definitely go see this one in theaters!

Ya it seems like its going to be good but the actors will suck badly and ruin it

Would love to see a mainline entry in the Alien series to acknowledge Alien: Isolation. Legitimately the ONLY movie I'm excited for this year. The MCU is dead, long the Xenomorph.

I e been waiting for this since the trailer dropped!!! So goooooodddddd lol thank you for your input

The only trailer breakdown that I’m always looking forward to

Honestly, this is how you do a trailer. There's a really annoying trend these days for trailers to go 3 and a half, 4 or even 4 and a half minutes, and show way too much. So there's no point in watching the movie, I've already seen it. But this is a trailer done right. 2 minutes long, doesn't show too much, just enough to give you a feel for it and get you hyped to see the full thing.

You're fast

‘Alien Xenomorph Origins’ here (a Facebook fan page) another great video thanks for posting, did you notice the Andy character eye twitch?, remember the line bishop says in Aliens.. “the A2’s always were a bit twitchy..”

The greatest movie trailer I’ve ever seen. And it’s not even up for debate.

Game Over Man; it’s Game Over!!! Looks like They took Inspiration from Deadspace’s Zero-G Blood Mechanics with the Acid Blood.

This movie is out around my birthday what a treat!!!!!!

Finally Theorist.. were you asleep or working? I've been waiting for you all day for your analysis, mate . Glad I'm finally hearing you now at 5 AM. 😀 Grts from Belgium

The final epilogue really spoke to me. I agree.

God damn blows my mind why your voice isn’t all over Disney Netflix etc. keep doing what you’re doing brother. You got something. My mother’s a voice actor.

I don't care what anyone says- I have thoroughly enjoyed every movie in the Alien franchise. Yes, including Prometheus and Covenant. How can anyone not enjoy Michael Fassbender's performances as David and Walt? He steals every scene! Alien 3 was my least favorite, but I still enjoyed it. Alien was in a class by itself, but Aliens was a very solid and competent sequel. Resurrection f*cking rocked, and was also super interesting. Prometheus WAS kind of lacking, but damn, it was beautiful, the engineer scenes were awesome, and of course Michael Fassbender as David. Covenant... Well. It was also beautiful, and you HAVE to admit that when things first started going to hell, your pulse quickened with the musical score, and you got to see EXACTLY what you were expecting to see. I ignored James de Franco's cameo death and rock climbing scenes, and overall thought Daniels was a decent character. And of course, there was Fassbender playing David and Walt with only the smallest of nuanced differences between them. I am completely hyped to thoroughly enjoy Romulus as much as any other movie in the franchise.

This, I feel, is a pretty good trailer. I specifically want to point out how we haven't really had "Facehugger horror" since the first movie. In the sequel, we only got it for a few minuets when they were loose with Newt and Ripley. In 3, the hugger already infested a creature off screen. And in 4, loads of aliens already existed. The shot where a man is partially fellating a facehugger's esophigial tube, and seems to be managing to remove it, and with as many face huggers as there are in this film, I think this will have at least in this way, things we've never seen.

Nicely done. Looking forward to this one!

If Disney is in involved then it could be severely jacked up. These days they ruin EVERY movie they have their hands in. With that said, the trailer does look good and I am hoping it delivers what we are all hoping for….a great addition to the alien franchise.

I feel skeptical at best.

Exciting. I also hope its not an easter egg / grab bag of ideas from the other movies. Damn, that poster is cool, but a little obvious at the same time...

yes. August 16th is on a Friday. Going to take the f*ing day off to watch at least Alien and Aliens. At least. Thnx for the breakdown mate, I'm good with these 2 trailers too. Let's see what we get

I think it's great that he's doubling down on the facehuggers. They are arguably the most under-exploited part of the life cycle and as a concept are truly horrific in many ways.

This movie is going to rock!

Fede can do no wrong, that man is on a roll as a director..

You got me so hyped man!

Alien: Zoomer

really not a fan of using the younger actors in this. feels like its a coming of age / alien mix. so its going to be very hard for me to take that seriously if they want to actually bring some serious life into this, have the aliens finally land on earth... that way we can see some serious shit. also i loved that Concept Art from Neill Blomkamp showing an alien being mind-controlled using some sort of headset, thus weaponizing the aliens (which was always a major theme in the franchisee but rarely developed) albeit in a crude way.

beautifully shot, but I really wish they bring back the suspense. it's hard when everyone knows what aliens and face huggers are, but without the suspense, it's missing one key strength alien franchise.

Here me out, David Johnson will put in an Oscar nomination performance…the lad is scary talented

If you love the alien universe and alien lore, we as alien fans need to go out and see this in theatre, support it so hopefully it does well and they green light more alien projects in gaming, movies, and maybe even tv/streaming. Does anyone read the alien comics?

I'm sorry, but BECAUSE I'm such an Aliens fan, I cannot unsee how much of an attempt this movie seems to be trying to recapture or even 1up the iconic scenes and moments from Aliens - AS IF THAT IS SOMEHOW NECESSARY? No. - I'm torn, however. I want to see this in theaters simply because I want to show support that Alien movies are being made, but I also don't know if seeing it and disliking it will translate in the metrics that Hollywood is paying any attention to. I fear it's just ticket sales, in which I may end up supporting the approach of "we can recapture the success of that old movie, and update it for the 'new generation' and it doesn't matter how good the characters and writing actually are" by my dollar going to it. Prey made me happy I waited to watch it for free. Perhaps I should stick with my gut on this one. I hope ya'll enjoy this in the theater. I don't hope for negative experiences. I hope for the best. I just have seen no evidence that I should expect anything other than a consecutive line of letdowns.

The breakdown of this trailer is making me want to watch all the alien films again.

Thanks for the breakdown. Some of the hallway images of the space station looking strikingly similar to the hallways in Alien: Isolation. I heard Alvarez was influenced in some ways by it. The opening sequence in the teaser trailer of the ship approaching the station looks a lot like Isolation as well.

I guess even bad alien movies are better than no alien movies

Not looking for them to reinvent the wheel here, as a lifelong Alien fan I just want the atmosphere, horror, action, and tension that we've come to expect from the franchise with a few twists and turns.
