Burke is surely on the Mount Rushmore of weasely corporate villains

5:05 The woman in the picture of Amanda is Sigourney Weaver’s real life mom.

I love the irony of Hudson loudly boasting of being the "ultimate badass" only to later admit that "we just got our asses kicked, pal!"

Great reaction! ❤I have every Bill Paxton line of dialog from this movie memorized! I recite the lines with the movie every time I rewatch (which is often) I'm still missing Bill Paxton: Terminator (1984), Aliens (1986), Predator 2 (1992) True Lies (1994), Apollo 13 (1995), Twister (1996), Titanic (1997) and much more. Gone too soon.

The face hugger coming after Ripley (and right towards us in the audience) is the most terrifying scene ever! 😱

You seemed so tense this movie it was great. 😂😂😂. Between you punching the air and your facial reactions of disgust. Had me cracking up. Great reaction.

youre right, she did call her mommy by the end :P

5:01 Traumatic loss is a defining trait of the backstory of _every_ compelling protagonist. I typically figure the loss of a _parent_ is enough. It's so much worse, though, when it's the loss of one's _child._ Leave it to sci-fi to arrange circumstances under which the protagonist loses their child by having the child die of old _age._

12:25 "Where's my cigar? My look's not complete without a cigar. Oh, here it is."

This ones a classic! I was always happy the cat survived sleep with her 😂

5:08 "So did the sleep chamber keep her looking _young?"_ It's not a sleep chamber, Journey. It's something _much_ more sophisticated; a _stasis_ chamber. You go in there and you stop experiencing the passage of time. Not only do you become unconscious, but you stop needing to eat, hydrate, expel waste, and breathe. Your metabolic processes cease and your metabolic _needs_ disappear. Not only did she not perceive time with her _senses;_ she stopped experiencing _entropy._ Ripley and her cat were the exact same age when they emerged that they had been when they went _in._ But for the rest of the universe, time went on.

Hudson is the GOAT cause it's never game over man😆Awesome show there ma'am 👏 Keep up the terrific work and if you're a gamer girl try Alien Isolation it's really fun💯🇺🇲🇨🇱😎

I was towards the back row in the theater when seeing this. When the facehugger hit the glass, the mini tidal wave effect of heads was awesome! RIP Bill Paxton who played Hudson is GREAT in the movie TWISTER co staring with Helen Hunt. It's a great flick if you haven't seen it. He also had a small part in Tombstone with a great cast including Kurt Russell. TOMBSTONE has great cinematic Quotes to be careful NOT to edit out. Great Reaction Journey!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

One of the best Sci-fi Action movies ever made! This movie is a cinematic masterpiece!

While Hudson may seem annoying most of us, including me, would be acting the exact same way in that situation

Hudson is my favorite character, but every single one of them is awesome in their own way. But Bill Paxton, RIP, gave a hell of a performance. You really felt like he had snapped. This movie is one of the best sequels of all time, right up there with The Empire Strikes back and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

0:34 "my heart be beating out of my chest..." your heart be jumping out of your chest, you be jumping out of the seat, your eyes close, your hands shake, and you scream unnatural sounds. *WE LOVE IT!!* 😆👍🏼

Watched my first reaction of yours "Braveheart" on your channel the other day, another class reaction to this another classic. Dont make them like these no more.

Paul Reiser, the actor who played Burke, took his mom to watch the movie in the theater. She cheered when his character died. 😅 Carrie Henn, little Newt, loved sliding through the shaft so much she kept screwing the scene on purpose, so she could try it again. James Cameron obviously noticed and said she could go at it as much as she wanted AFTER they finished the scene. 😂 Btw, this was her only acting job. She became a schoolteacher. About Ripley's daughter, Amanda, there is actually a really cool game called Alien Isolation, set between both Alien movies. It's the story of Amanda trying to find what happened to her mother and instead, she finds... Well, you know.

As a kid I used to have some nightmares end with Ellen Ripley busting through a wall and rescuing me like I was newt. Imagine having a dream where Freddy Kruger is chasing you only to have Ripley light him up with a flamethrower 😂

Yes, if nobody said so already, you heard correctly ... Newt did call Ripley "mommy" toward the end. I don't know exactly how I feel about getting choked up during a sci-fi thriller so chock full of badassery, but I loved that moment. Thank you for another great reaction!

I feel this is going to be in your top 5 reactions

Your remarks are freakin' gold. Keep up the great reviews.......

i'm not gonna leave you newt, i mean that

I always found it interesting that despite Ripleys' fully justified contempt for Burke, that she nevertheless tried to save his worthless life when all the soldiers wanted him dead. She wanted Burke to face criminal justice and due process on earth in place of some quick vengeance on LV426. Though her motive maybe have been more about sticking it to the "Company" rather than out of any personal concern for Burke, the loyal Company man.

Vasquez, Let's Rock!!! The heavy machine gun on a Steadicam. 👌

Great reaction journey as always 🔥

See that that's what they give for not listening to Ripley

There is a book that explains Ripleys missing 57 years. The picture of her "daughter" is actually a picture of Sigourney Weaver's mother.

And no more sequels were made. NONE. NONE! NOOOOOONE!!! 😂 (I saw all of the sequels coming up. It's akin to Terminator!)

Man, those colonists were just fed to the Xenomorphs. Poor guys.

Aliens is one of the greatest movie rollercoaster ride ever! Ripley is a badass hero for everyone!

"We used to do that in middle school" Well this movie is why you did it. I saw this in the theater when I was 9 years old.

36:18, being called a grunt is not a slur to a Marine. Hicks is a frontline combatant in the Corps and knows he is.

Props to Bill Paxton, he's always good.

Great reaction to the first classic, you are gonna love this one.

She said "..my heart, jumpin' OUT OF MY CHEST! " 🤣

The way you left your fingers pointed at 30:25 had me 🤣🤣🤣

Jump scares can be tricky. I remember, when I first saw the movie _Jaws,_ I saw _one_ jump scare. As intended, it scared the _hell_ out of me. It didn't piss me off, though, because it fit _perfectly_ with the circumstances. All too often, movies that rely on jump scares take to relying on nothing else which, I find, tends to cheapen the movie. But since then, I've watched several reactors react to _Jaws_ and they have three or four. 🤷‍♂

I’m excited to see your reaction. Your first one has me laughing with how often you got scared. You were definitely making fun of the crew for not being with it too lol

The sleep pods basically freeze them to save on resources for the long trip (using no oxygen or food) so Ripley was preserved without ageing as long as the sleep pod functioned. They call it hypersleep but it isn't really sleep in the conventional sense. That's why Parker suggested to "freeze" Kane with the face-hugger still attached so they could deal with it when they got back to Earth, which was probably a really good idea, but of course movies like stupid decisions to prevail.

1:08 👻 didn't even make it out of the opening credits. 😆

Amazing movie love the video Marie stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way 57 years is crazy

got 'em!

when i watched this in a cinema, i remember women screaming in the audience when that face hugger was crawling up behind Newt in the lab. also everyone cheered loudly when Ripley came out in her mech and said "get away from her you .....". those are the memories that stand out. one other memory was how claustrophobic it felt when they sealed Bishop in the long tunnel and he had to inch his way forward. what if he got stuck midway? he would literally have no way out.

Paul Reiser who played Burke took his mom to the movie Premiere.. afterwards he asked “what did you think of the movie?” She said “I’m glad you got eaten”. 🤣🤣. Sums up what everyone thought of the character…😂

I have to say, your editing of the films is unparalleled. You seem to always keep the pertinent parts of the script in, not to mention all the great lines. Keep 'em coming, ma'am.

I just realize that Most characters that we can see in this Movie, wasn't Born Yet the Alien events happened...

Love your reactions, keep em coming!

Great movie and great reaction as always.

Burke doesn't deserve to be called a rat snake. Real rat snakes are good neighbors who help to control the population of rodent pests.

There is two things I like to say. There was a deleted scene they left out. While going through the nest to save Newt, Ripley encounter Burke who was still alive but cocooned and impregnated. He tells Ripley to help him but all she did is give him a grenade and moved on. Around 2013 or 14, they made the game Alien Isolation where it takes places 11 years after Alien and 50 years before Aliens. You play as a 20 something Amanda Ripley, daughter of Ellen Ripley who travel to a space station to search for evidences about her mother's whereabouts but encounter an alien rampaging around the station and killing everybody in the station. Should play it to get a better understanding on the story and if horror games doesn't scare you.

By the way, this Alien Film is my favourite one! Ripley is so Brave and Vasquez 😍😍 I Love her! 😊The reason why the Alien started backing off was because of the Queen, the Queen Alien was trying to keep her eggs saved but nevertheless Ripley burns them all! All your reactions were Amazing, Marie! Great to see you smiling at the end of the film! 😘😘

NICE reaction, ma'am. Keep 'em coming.

Ripley threatens the Queens eggs to get them to back off.

48:30 - this was always the scariest part of the movie when I was watching as a kid. Being trapped in there with two facehuggers was one thing, but mostly it was the screeching violins in the soundtrack. It just really scared my young self.

Loved your reaction to my favorite action movie. Subscribed and liked!

6:40 "They aren't listening to her." "I hope the aliens come for their asses since they don't want to believe." Let's be reasonable here. Would you believe her? I mean, really, if a stranger you've never met comes up to you tomorrow at your job or in a store or whatever, and starts talking about a fire breathing dragon that she fought, and when she cut it, butterflies flew out of the cut because the dragons blood is made of butterflies. But, all the evidence disappeared when she killed it. Would you believe that person? Really? Ripley's story is so unbelievable that it's literally insane. 1. The alien has acid for blood that instantly dissolves metal. Impossible. The best acid made in Earthly laboratories would take hours, maybe days, to dissolve that much metal. And it cannot be contained inside flesh, inside veins and arteries and hearts and brains and lungs. it would destroy those. Also, acid doesn't carry nutrition (it destroys it) or oxygen, they real blood does so it is utterly useless as blood. If it could be genetically modified to do all the things blood does, it cou9ldn't dissolve metal like that. 2. The monster grew from the size of a rat to the size of a pony in a day. Nothing can do that. Growth requires food (it didn't have any) and it requires time. A baby horse starts out much, much bigger and takes 3 years to get that big and it eats thousands and thousands of pounds of food in that time. So it has magical blood and magical growing powers. That makes it a wonderful monster in a horror movie, a work of fiction, but not anything that a real person can believe. So it's very reasonable that those people in that meeting couldn't possibly believe this impossible story. Also, they've had people on that planet for 20 years with no monsters ever sighted which gives them another reason to disbelieve. Finally, as they said right here, there are over 300 colonized world with humans on them and nobody has ever seen anything like this. Not even close. With all those reasons to disbelieve, and not a single reason to believe this total stranger, do you really blame them? If you've read this far, then I just have one more point. Movie audiences, including me so I'm nobody special, we all love the main characters. We relate to them. Usually, we see the things that happen to them. We want everybody else in the movie to listen to them, trust them, an ddo everything the main character says because we love the character. But the real world doesn't work like that. People don't listen to random strangers, don't trust them, and definitely don't do what they say. Good script writers like the ones who wrote this movie make their side characters behave like real people. That's good writing. If these executives just believe her "All right crazy lady from the past, we believe every impossible thing you said without evidence" it would be silly and unrealistic. Let's give these writers credit for making believable characters here - characters that are not just more audience members that love Ripley.

Ash's body was destroyed by the surviving crew, but Ash secretly uploaded part of his AI into Nostromo's shuttle, Narcissus, and escaped with Ellen Ripley. Chris Hooper eventually wiped Ash's consciousness from the shuttle's computer banks, finally 'killing' him. Ash was the reason why Ripley was floating in space for 57 years.

20:15 "i'm scared." Don't worry. Hudson and his squad of ultimate badasses will protect you. Check it out. They've got tactical smart missiles, phased plasma pulse rifles, RPGs, they've got sonic electronic ball breakers! They've got nukes, they've got knives, sharp sticks...

20:13 😂 me too 🫣

You watched the SUPER EXTENDED VERSION with the deleted scenes👍🏿

Love you ❤

New subscriber here. Love your reaction. Sci-fi horror is good for you. It gets your heart pumping faster, makes you want to join in on the action & promotes suggestions on how to deal with enemies. I like that. You do this solo which is probably best because surprises make you turn into a mixed martial artist ! Fists start flying, elbows are thrown, you go into full-blown Azz Kick Mode ! It's a sight to see. That's what I call entertainment !

And that’s the end of the Alien story. They lived happily ever after. There was some fanmade fanfic films afterwards but no need to bother with those.

Awesome reaction of my favorite Alien movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊

I love your reactions, Marie. But, that balloon dog on the wall... Does it have any significance you could share?

That F U came from the heart 😂😂😂😂😂

29:05 "We can't have any firing, in there." This move strikes me as a mistake. I mean, you _don't_ place Marines in a dangerous situation and then tell them they're not allowed to _defend_ themselves. They're Marines. If they're in a place where their weapons pose an unavoidable threat, the way to remove the threat is to have them fall back to a secure location until you come up with something _else._ This man, as a Marine lieutenant, should've _known_ that.

Great movie

Great reaction. You might also like Alien 4 Resurrection. Alien vs Predator, Prometheus, and District 9 are also pretty good.

I see you like alien jump scares 😁 good reaction.

The story of newt's tale explains how she survived so long before everyone rescue newt. It's called newt's tale you can find on KZfaq easily just type in newt's tale and It will explain how she survived.

Subscribing cuz you did the sequal!

Knew you was gonna geeked on that last fight scene

Did you notice that the marine that was flirting with Ripley was Reece from Terminator, and that Bishop the Android was one of the two head police officers in Terminator.

I still miss Bill Paxton!😢

I dont think anyone mentioned this and since you hated Burke, here's a story you will like. When Paul Reiser brought his mother to the premiere of Aliens, she cheered when Burke got killed. And to answer your question about why the Xenomorphs backed up, the queen signaled them to back away to protect the eggs. She and Ripley had a sort of agreement not to harm each other. Till Ripley burned the eggs.

5:24 "This reminds me of interstellar when his kids got older." This is different. In Interstellar, time worked differently for Matthew McConaughey than it did for his kids because of Relativity (Ask Einstein to explain that). But basically it mean when he traveled super crazy fast, time slowed down for him, but not for his kids on Earth. And the black hole planet made things even worse. In this movie, Ripley wasn't going that fast, so time didn't slow down, and she didn't have black holes. She was just frozen so her bodily functions stopped. Even aging stopped. She doesn't just look young. She really is the exact same age right now as she was when she killed that first alien 57 years ago. But I bet her 401k is Huuuuuuge!

21:35 "They never listen to Ripley." They did. They instantly recognized the acid blood. HIcks saw the melted metal and said "Looks like somebody bagged one of Ripley's bad guys." They listened and they learned. But right now, they are the military experts. She's never been in the military, never even held a gun. Military people don't listen to civilians who try to tell them how to do their military jobs. Ever. Nor should they. When Ripley said "It's not secure" she was wrong. It's like she walked into a surgery and told the surgeon "you're doing surgery wrong". FWIW, in the military, "secure" does not mean "All sealed up so perfectly that not even a germ could get in." Nothing is ever that secure. Not the Pentagon, not Fort Knox, not the strongest castle, fortress, or bunker ever built. "Secure" means two things: 1. We have checked the entire area and there are no enemies here right now. 2. We have guards at every entrance so if anything tries to get in, we will know it. These marines did both things so the area is secure. Gorman was right. Ripley was wrong. That's why they should not listen to her. Side note: we learn later that the Marines and Ripley all m issed one way in that no human could use, but aliens can. They might have been wrong when they said it was secure, but she didn't know about that either, so she was just as wrong as they were.

Alien Vs Predator isn't the greatest film but it's worth a watch just for the Alien/Predator fights and some of the kills.

HEY HOLLYWOOD!!! this is how you do sequel!!!! Take the original material and add on to it while remaining faithful to the source.

1:10:36 You can stop right here in my opinion. The next movie is a tough one.

12:44 it kinda blew my mind at first, that that’s the same actress that played Johns foster mom in Terminator 2 (Jenette Goldstein)…kinda makes sense since they’re both James Cameron films

The Aliens are pretty smart. They're part human.

Yes Marie, I know I said it for Alien but I really think this will put you at 20k.🎉

You get to play Ripley’s daughter in The Video game alien isolation.

Give Hudson that back hand😂

Journey Marie Wesley Snipes Blade Marvel Comics is a Intense action packed thrill ride love it Wesley Snipes is a bad man Marvel Universe Awesome

Can't wait to see the new one on the big screen

I'm glad you saw the Special Edition. That's the only way to watch Aliens now, especially after Alien Isolation. To me, this movie is the greatest sci-fi and one of the Top 3 sequels ever made. Its right up there with T2 and The Godfather Part II. Sigourney Weaver shouldve won Best Actress. Thanks to James Cameron's writing and Sigourney Weavers acting, Ellen Ripley is one of the greatest, strongest, most iconic female characters ever put on film.

"Aliens": Third Officer Ripley has been found and taken to Gateway station with a Xenomorph-size case of PTSD. What will the "Weyland-Yutani Suits" make of her blowing up the "Nostromo"? 4:18 You are watching the Special Edition version that I bought as a Laserdisc(!) in 1990. It answered a question I'd had since 1986; was Ripley a parent? 12:38 Actor Jenette Goldstein is/was a bodybuilder and spoke Spanish fluently enough to be cast as a Latina in movies. I've read that makeup artists had trouble with her "prominent case of freckles." 17:10 Ripley is showing Sgt. Apone and Cpl. Hicks that she isn't a "front office paper shuffler" like Burke, but a working class dog like themselves. 20:59 Hamsters, like Jones the Cat, are too small to be Xenomorph hosts. 24:47 In 1986, I noticed that Ripley is able to "get close, quickly," to Rebecca, unlike the female Colonial Marines. Why was that? A reviewer of the time said: "Sisterhood!" The SE version answered that question. 29:26 Vasquez passes a spare fire control unit to Drake, so they can still provide fire support for the squad. 44:03 The Sentry Gun Boogaloo was something unexpected. 46:55 The Manual of Arms. 57:05 They went out like Klingon warriors. 1:00:10 The right tool for the job with Duck Tape. 1:00:25 The studio cut this out!? 1:02:00 The Egg Chamber. 1:06:04 Queen takes Bishop. 1:10:50 Ripley's journey isn't over...

20:42 It has always puzzled me that these Marines are sent in relying primarily on _projectile_ weapons. They showed us, in part 1, how _unwise_ that is. They showed us, if you want to kill one of these things, you have to rely on a _flamethrower._

Marie - I trust Burke a little bit Me - GIRRLLLLL !!! If you only knew XD

She called her Mommy ❤

The crazy part about that meeting Ripley had with those corporate suits is none of them in that room likley had a clue that the company they're working for 57 years ago tried to obtain some alien creature to use as a bioweapon. Hell, none of them might be aware there is a bio weapons division at the company. These things are so compartmentalized, those smug assholes probably did think she was crazy. Only those at the very top of Weylan-Yutani are truly aware of what's going on, what went on before the events of the original movie and in between then and this movie, and that's terrifying.

37:02 me every morning when I see my reflection in the bathroom mirror

Journey Marie I just saw this Amazing Reaction Always Amazing Reactions from you Alien and Aliens Masterpieces Glad you enjoyed The Sequel Alien Aliens and Terminator Terminator 2 Judgement Day Some of the Best Sequels ever Journey Marie Another Suggestion Highly Recommend I know you saw The Dark Knight Batman Movies Superhero movies Jump into Marvel Comics Marvel Universe Movies Phenomenal love it movies Like Iron Man Captain America Thor and Then Marvel s The Avengers Also The Black Panther Amazing movies Franchises First Marvel Movie you Should Checkout Blade Wesley Snipes He helped jumpstart Marvel Comics into Blockbuster Movie Classics

For the record. Alien vs Predator is my favorite Predator movie. & I dont think Im alone
