I saw Alien: Romulus Saturday, and I enjoyed it.
It goes some terrific scares, and the Xenomorphs were terrifying. I also enjoyed the performance by David Jonsson as well.
The movie gave nice nods to Alien & Aliens, and director Fede Álvarez did a wonderful job with this installment.
I recommend everyone to see it.
I give it a grade of an B.
ENJOY!
It was ok, but very loud and predictable. Nothing new.
Haven’t watched it yet, but MAN am i having a hard time picturing Cailee Spaeny kicking butt Sigourney Weaver style.
She’s like 4’ 6".
Maybe slightly taller.
Can’t decide if I’m breaking my avoidance of theaters for this. It does seem derivative like a force awakens or Jurassic world where the goal is to make a somewhat competent installment to get the series on a new path without actually making a great movie.
Exactly my impression. I’m on the fence on whether I should make the IMAX trip or not.
I just hope they delve deeper into the lore of the whole thing. I want to know more about the Engineers.
Don’t expect much. Longlegs was better
The chestburster scene wasnt quite as scary as i thought it would be but overall i liked the movie.
I kinda like the whole scenario. The movie is about mankind’s need to overcome the limitations of our bodies to travel on interstellar lengths so there is an alien research facility that Weyland Yutani built but lost to drift out into space.
Saw it in IMAX and, to my great surprise, I loved it. Yeah, it’s got its flaws and the nostalgia bait is laid on a bit too thick, but it’s impeccably well directed and they crafted a wonderful retro tech aesthetic that matches the first two movies seamlessly. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel or match the heights of Alien/Aliens, but it’s entertaining and actually understands what made the first two movies work.
She isn’t a Ripley knock off, which was a smart choice. David Jonsson was superb and will be fielding plenty of offers after this.
Yeah, i caught it this week on Monday.
It worked. And you’re right about not making her into a new Ripley.
She is so tiny.
There’s a severe lack of Romulans. I thought we were getting a crossover.
