"Yo there's a signal on an alien planet. Should we check it out?" "No. We're not equipped for that. Put in a call for the Colonial Marines. They'll check it out." rolls credits

In an earth-based movie, these folk would get strangled by a cordless phone.

In Alien you felt the safety in numbers and each time one was killed you felt the fear in the crew. That movie was so brilliant it didn’t give you a break, you only felt slightly more at ease when you saw them all together in rec room. It was master class in tension, desperation and fear.

The one thing that bothers me about the Alien franchise is that no one has made a sequel to 1986's Aliens. It's been almost 40 years and there is just TWO films in the entire franchise. Just two. :(

80s horror: Tension, story driven, sprinkle of jumpscares. Horror today: Almost non-stop jumpscares interspersed with cgi goreporn

Whenever I'm sad i come back to this video. It never fails to make me burst out with laughter. Drinker's earlier videos were so much more savage than his newest ones.

Have ya noticed that the older Ridley Scott has gotten, the more philosophical and spiritual he's gotten with his Alien franchise? I'm telling ya, the guy has gotten preoccupied and obsessed with his own mortality. He's having an existential crisis thinking he's on the verge of standing before god and that bullshit has seeped into his storytelling. Also, Drinker, this type of content is still your greatest skill. Just so damn good. Don't forget about your review videos.

There is a plotwist, that makes this movie totally logical: The Covenant is no colony ship, but the attempt of earth to get rid of its greatest morons. Mission accomplished!

I remember hearing that there is no scarier monster than The Thing. Simply because the characters there consistently make smart decisions and yet it keeps beating them at every turn.

The best part of this movie is James Franco dies before he has a chance to be in it.

If David picked his name because of the statue of David, did Walter pick his name after watching Breaking Bad 🤔

Like Terminator and Predator, the Alien franchise only has 2 movies.

honestly, no joke, i forgot the main girl in this movie was even in the movie...

Ever notice how Ian Holm played an android in a very naturalistic human way, he didn't act cold and weird like a puppet controlled by a simple algorithm but the inhumanity was under the surface, underneath an otherwise impeccable surface level or charm. But David was always such a weirdo like "hey, don't forget I'm a robot!"

I am old enough to have seen them original Alien in first theatrical release in 1979 with no previous exposure to the "alien" I must say it was electrifying even though you didn't see a lot of it, you can never recapture that original exposure and debut of the creature. I must say that even Ash and his attempt to kill Ripley and his malfunction was hideously frightening in 1979! In this era you just can't recreate that.
-
My favourite part of this film is that David knows he's in a film, why else would he copy the injuries that he gave Walter that only the film watching audience saw?

Imagine it's the 90s and we are told in the future that Ridley Scott will return to the Alien franchise, Patrick Stewart will reprise his role of Picard in a new Star Trek series, Bruce Campbell would star in an Evil Dead show, and Mark Hamil, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford would return to Star Wars...and it would all be shit.

"But then he starts having a sweet rave party" gets me every time 😂😂😂
