Thanksgiving | A New Slasher Horror Film #movie #scary
For me.. Visually it was Great.. aside from two more CGI scenes which were Hit/Miss. The Characters i just never connected with them, this was Alien Covenant all over again... but the main Two Characters worked... and Rain was not as Anoying as Daniels. The Remember Berries were ok... the visual connections/Aesthetic was Great..... but yes... some of the Lines taken from other Movies was just totally unnecessary. For me... kinda Spoiler... I was expecting more Gore from Alvarez... and I felt the Pacing was off after 40 Min... it went flash in the pan like Alien Covenant after the Oram Chest Burster scene. Overall its flawed and was trying to be a Love Letter to the Franchise which can have a negative impact on the Pace. Visually 9/10 Audio 7/10 Acting 7/10 Story 7/10 Execution 6/10 Overall I give it 6.5/10 and on par with Alien 3 for me....
@@davebear9825 that's fair enough mate. I liked the characters and this was something I never thought I'd say. I also expected more gore but I think I managed to find a sweet spot between gratuitous gore and not showing enough. I never want to see too much in an Alien film but thinking about it, we never saw much human blood. It was mostly android or xeno blood. Strange...
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE Yeah I think that Alvarez should have while on set... produced a long Short (10 Minutes or two say 5 Minute ones that could have been used in Marketing (scenes from The Colony) which could help us flesh out the Characters (like the Alien Covenant Last Super one). These could be added to the DVD extras etc for those who missed them. This may have helped to connect with the Characters.... i feel a little more time with Tyler and Kay may have helped.... but these Characters never came over well compared to say Janek, Vickers did in Prometheus. Overall I think they were not as forgettable as Alien Covenants. I think that Andy was the stand out but Rain was not too bad... a bit more time with Tyler and Kay would have helped or a 1-2 Short Promotional Scenes to get us accustomed to the Characters would have helped.
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE As far as the Gore... i think that you can't just rely on the Gore to scare people. And so if your not going for BRUTAL Gore... then your left on the Borderline in the UK to make it a 18 or cut that little out to get a 15 and increase the potential Box Office numbers.
Ellen Ripley is a iconic character. Only sigourney Weaver. Can play this character. She opened the door for other women. To have a chance. Showing that women can handle things like aliens. Or other stuff. Jonesy the cat. Proof animals can survive. Science fiction and horror movies.
@@user-vr6sd3cr9p she had some of the best acting chops as well
Im sorry but this young cast was as flat and lifeless as blank pieces of paper. None of these characters were as memorable as those in Alien, Aliens, Prometheus and even Covenant. Heck, the characters in Resurrection and Alien 3 were more memorable. I think reviews like this are written by Disney. Theres nothing 10 out of 10 in this movie.
@@LukeLovesRose it interesting how we all vary in our thoughts on this film but I respect you opinion mate and sorry it didn't work for you. Did you not think the android was pretty good at least?
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE After David, this Andy character is Meh for me.
@@LukeLovesRose I didn't even play the flute 🤣. Actually David was expertly played by Fassbender, the guy is one of the best actors out there
I feel like Lt Goreman was supposed to represent incompetent military leadership in the Vietnam War given all the symbolism in the movie
100% but it's fun to imagine other scenarios 😉
2nd Lieutenant would be the minimum rank required to lead such a mission, so he was simply a brand-new officer eagre for advancement - which would require at least a handful of combat missions as a tick in the box. I never got the sense he was compromised, but he's likely been given some subtle instruction from the brass, something like "The company has a keen interest in this, if the mission goes well, you'll be a captain when you get back" which would be a very rapid advancement, and possibly remove him from combat units entirely after a single mission. His indifference is from knowing he won't be assigned to these marines for long, not from anything overtly sinister, and his inexperience would make him open to suggestion during the course of the mission. Once he wakes up, he always looked to me like he was ashamed he had panicked on first contact while Ripley, a civilian, had taken the decisive action that he should have taken. He likely vowed he would never make such a mistake again- and he doesn't. Goreman's weapon is out the second he sees the facehuggers in medical, he's the one who pulls it off Ripley. He spends his remaining time deferring to his NCOs, engaging the enemy directly, and ultimately giving his life for the Marines under his command.
@@jarvy251 oh you are more likely to be right my dude. The theory is a stretch, I know, but it was fun exploring a different alternative idea.
He was what the intelligence agencies refer to as a “patsy”, and they almost never know that they are.
@@jellymop a good point 👍
Spoilers smoilers meh any of these wont affect my own viewing (soon) of this much awaited story from the franchise. Thanks for this review
Hope you have a good experience. It has many great moments if you are an Alien fan :)
This is rubbish Dude. Entertain yourself!
@@gordondafoe3516 I have to these days, not much on..
Lieutenant isn't a jump promotion. It's the lowest possible officer rank
@@SEPR2 but it was a high ranking position on the mission, enough influence to control certain situations or be a decoy.
Man, i have been twice to the imax now for this movie, there are so many details i want to discuss with you, one of my favourite scenes is the ai upgrade scene in the cryo chamber when andy reboots, the horror theme music and the face-hugger and all, just ahh!! So good! Anyway, i was so shocked by the ending when i first watched it (in a good way) because Fede did it in such a good way, i walked out the cinema like wtf just happend, but on my second watch i could focus so much on diffrent details, study what was going on in scenes in a diffrent way, i thought the movie was great the first time but it actually grew on me instantly the second time. this is now a classic for me, ah so many things i want to talk about. Anyway keep up the good work! Cant wait for a more detailed video!
@@GameOverManGameOver glad you had a good time but I'm jealous about the whole IMAX thing 😉. Closest IMAX to me is London but I'm not risking getting stabbed to go see a film 😲. Stay tuned for my full review as there are so many details to be discussed.
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE❤
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE Looking forward to your new spoiler review mate. You've quickly become my favourite film reviewer and I like that you reply to almost every comment people make and engage with your audience. Good on you man and I hope your channel goes far
@@bozcoustics5448 I comments like this keep me going, thanks. I have no idea what I'm doing nor do I have a plan. I just speak from the heart in the hopes it is more relatable than some flashy high production video haha. Thanks again.
Happy to hear you liked it too, and I agree with your overall take. Yeah the Prometheus audio cue was so misplaced, it actually took me out of it for a second. I know why they did it, but it was too form over function for my taste. As for the "GAFHYB" line from Aliens, that felt so forced, and I'm surprised Fede added it because surely it wasn't due to pressure from Scott, who to my knowledge has never shown Aliens much respect. There's no way Fede thought the hardcore fans (like himself) would not cringe at that? Perhaps it was the studio insisting on it. Strange decision either way. That said, there was so much to like about this movie and I think the franchise is back for real now. I hope Fede directs the sequel, because he did a damn good job on this one, and we don’t need a new director to come in and try to be fancy. The technical framework we have now is pretty much perfect. All they should focus on for the sequel is a great storyline and cast. I wouldn’t even mind if they went the military route again tbh, but that should then be the ONLY thing it has in common with Aliens, please no more cheesy call backs, have the confidence to let your film stand completely on its own 🙏
@@techstacker5361 great reply buddy. Yes I actually replied to someone else today that another Marine combat drop would be nice but maybe it should revolve around a film that focuses on the company. I loved the eerie shots of the scientists working on the xeno so much that I wanna see more of that fleshed out. Then maybe they call the marines for help? Sounds cheesy but fuck it haha!
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE actually that sounds like a great idea 😀 Whatever they do, they should bring Andy and Rain back, their relationship was one of highlights imo.
I like the effect's and the aliens plus rook was a good idea when he played a part in it but.... I have two beef's... The encounters with the xenomorphs felt brief and more of a short burst. There should have been more hiding and avoiding them that could have stressed the point they was being hunted. My second issue is I didn't like the hybrid at the end as they should have stayed true to the alien universe by unleashing another variation of xenomorph such as the ultramorph, I've seen others say it should be a pretorian which would have been great.
@@allenwood9967 the hybrid creeped me out sufficiently enough that I can ignore to a point where you're coming from, sort of. But I get you. I feel like the Xenos either all died at once before the end or they made the mistake of creeping towards someone with a pulse rifle instead of ambushing her. It did feel rushed at these later points but I wonder if there will be a directors cut to fix some of these issues
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE the hybrid was creepy but I could see that being in one of Fede's horror films 😁 a director's cut with a prolonged assault by the xenomorphs would be great and the downtime and tension in between but the station had a time limit before it impacted the rings, just some fine tweaking and it could be awesome.
A very balanced review. Sadly, I didn't enjoy Romulus very much at all. Each to their own I guess.
@@harjindersokhi9852 I'll be 🙊 Ng more to the positives and negatives in my full review but sorry to hear it didn't click with you.
This film is all style over substance. Nothing more. And as time goes on the gaping plot holes will come forwards. Like: The nostromo was vaporized because of the mineral ore (blast waves) so there wouldn't be wreckage. The Big Chap doesn't make face huggers from its acid dna. Even if it was a overmorph it couldnt make 50 face huggers without a queen. Black goo would need to have a viable reason to be in the face huggers. The woman who injected herself with black goo wasnt in the room (she was in the hive) when rook told the others what it was. So her giving it to herself is stupid. What is happening here is Ridley scott has been trying to cut the queen out of the life cycle for 3 films now with his black goo. And it has never made sense. Ever. And no matter how hard they try the black goo cannot replace the Queen. I'm suprised by how Alien fans aren't raging at this all style over substance film.
@@Fiorwestcoast I don't think we've ever had the goo explained to us well enough to know what it can and can't be extracted from, but I get your point, especially in regards to Ridley. Too many cooks in the kitchen over the years. There was a lot of convenience I realised but I still enjoyed it. Hindsight may play a factor over time so the more times I see it and can analyse the film and what it explores might make my feelings change. Scientifically, I don't even know how that Nostromo detonation would have worked. Contrary to popular belief, I know that if you detonate a nuke in space there is actually no explosion because there is no atmosphere to ignite, no particles etc, just gamma rays. I'm clueless as to how much debris would have remained. Probably not enough for a perfect Nostromo sign 😉
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE Ridley was notorious for disliking the Queen I'm 1986. And when Prometheus was made the black goo wasn't thought out. It was just put there as a way of trying to explain the origins. When blomkamp came in with his film Ridley shut it down because it had a queen alien in it. And that's when he did covenant (with eggs in it and no queen) the studio realized covenant was a disaster financially and especially with Alien fans. I guarantee we will find out in time that fede had a queen Alien on romulus. They went to lv426 and picked up an egg or something like that. And Ridley came in and promised to fund the film but had changes he wanted. Fede punched a wall and kicked a door when he read the changes. Ridley has become the studio. The black goo has ruined the franchise and Ridley is trying to keep himself from looking like an idiot.
@@Fiorwestcoast Ridley did joke about Fede punching a wall after being handed some notes haha! You make some great and very accurate points I have to say. The way I see it is, Ridley was there first and he had his own issues with the studio in terms of what couldn't be shown. The queen came later but that doesn't take away from the fact that the goo narrative was bodged and never thought through properly. I'm very interested to know what interactions took place between Cameron and Fede with their early conversations. Cameron made some off remarks about him and the film when recently asked about it but that's all gossip on clickbait sites anyways. I wonder if you are right and a queen was more logical in his conception of the film.
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDEoh I'm sure Cameron hated the rook character. He probably said that fede brought nothing new. And I'm hoping he made fun of the black goo
@@Fiorwestcoast Oh btw, I just checked out your channel. Watching your spoiler review now and loving the collectables you have in the background. You even look like Ripley a little bit hehe!
Just commenting for el algoritmo, but looking forward to hearing your take after I watch the movie this weekend. I see the sub count increasing. World domination coming up.
haha! Thanks as always my friend. are you seeing it soon? I'll have my full review uploaded in a few days :)
I loved it. Hope there's a sequel
I would love a sequel that focuses on the company and its personnel ;)
Alien! Romul-Kiss-My-Ass.. WTF!
Since Weyland Yutani sent a shuttle to the Nostromo debris field to obtain the Alien, this could still be the Narcissus coincidentally drifting thru the Renaissance stations debris field, caught by the same gravity that brought the Station into the planetary orbit. Or the shuttle couldve been retrieved and was inside the Station unopened, then it blew out of the Station when it started disintegrating, to drift another 34 ish years.
@@ianmcgeehan4627 it possible but I never noticed it at all during the film. I need to analyse the film frame by frame really. Unless it was just a trailer trick.
Will this be the most over-analyzed geek movie in history? It's all very ridiculous.
@@marcus_ohreallyus 🤣
So, the “Company”really wants the black goo to evolve humans to survive “working in mines and pollution” etc…. Really? In what universe did they not want it for their bio weapons programs? Just that single concept I found laughable. Literally everything in the film was pathetic. So the Android has a little flap on his neck and a little CD memory disk… really? What future are we looking at here? This is a bad B Movie. I think the reviewer here is delusional. I am an Alien fan and that film is a masterpiece. Everything that follows, including Aliens, just demystifies what was an unknowable creature that originally personified the Grim Reaper! This film sucks.
Well, the SIM was to maintain the retro future elements of the first film and everything we saw was fairly in keeping with this. I also think that creating superhumans is very much part and parcel of bio weapons as well.
Yes I agree, the downtime amongst the casts when they arrived on the spaceship is somewhat lacking. Maybe because the spaceship is going to crash?
@@Callsign-Blade_RunnerSG true, the countdown did get bumped up significantly.
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE Perhaps the downtime should be placed during the face-hugging and incubation period since it was Navarro that caused the ship’s trajectory to shift. The incubation period also felt expedited. Too fast.
The only weakness of this movie imo was the dialogue. Repeating lines from previous movies was a little cringe and the rook part of the story was corny just cause they’re using Ian from the first movie. Other than that, it’s a 7.8
@@aaroncall5274 it's hard to ignore those silly parts, I agree
So the face huggers got out and Romulus crew got cocconed by big chap snd the facehuggers made the extra aliens i guess
@@JoshuaRyan-nj1yi after seeing the film, it's remains a little hazy. I guess there were more face huggers either made naturally or escaped from the lab.
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE yea I'm 49 been a huge fan honestly they could of left the engineers out of it , I want cocoons, face huggers , chest burst, aliens..THATS IT no extra stuff 😊 edit: Saw Romulus last night
@@JoshuaRyan-nj1yi you liked it? It has flaws but I enjoyed it a fair bit.
Nonsense, you can see the shock and disgust on Gorman's face when Ripley reveals Burke's plan. He may be a complete goose but he is honorable albeit naive.
@@tibitzu365 maybe 😉
Anyone catch the little Bladerunner style origami animals on the dash of the ship?
@@djmajor1597 I missed that. You think Ridley requested it or else no movie? 🤣
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE Probably! 🤣 He believed the Bladerunner world was what the humans in Alien would've lived in had they been on Earth
Spoiler ⚠️⚠️🚨📢 I appreciate your video and passion for the flim but we will have to agree to disagree as it is 5. Let me explain as i wanted to love this movie but cant. It makes no sense. 1. The young crew wouldn't of not been the only crew who knew about the ship. As we see Rook who could of not been the only android on the Romulus ship and someone or android would of called a distress signal. 2. We got ONE Alien kill. One! Kill count. 1.Chestbuster doesn't count. 2. Acid making a heart explode. 3. Our classic xenomorph head shot. 4. Alien CGI hybrid zombie kill' Whatever the heck it was doing Thats the blueprint of the kill count that i find Pathetic for an Alien movie in 2024. Characters who are stupid as hell. Think would you stand in front of a nest like female organ cocoon and stap it with an electric pole? Probably not. Or talk in a room full of facehuggers. No your not talking. Or use a foreign subject into your body thats from aliens. NOO you are not. One gun one person takes out a whole nest of aliens almost as to aliens and Marines getting destroyed with a bunch of guns. Smh and at the end we are just insulted with this CGI monster. Like what was the point of making the movie look beautiful and ruin it at the end with CGI crap. Pluse why was Rook rip in half Probably by an alien but in the nest the alien just stands over Andy it's stupid Inconsistent writing. As either the Aliens recognize the Droids or they dont. The facehuggers can either see you or cant. How you get away talking awhole two minutes in a room full of FACEHUGGERS. 5!
I wondered the same regarding how they perceive androids. There were definitely inconsistencies that benefited the convenience factor. Maybe it would have been better if there was a larger crew so that we saw more traditional kills from the Aliens. I think the end part was still done with some practical as a really tall actor did play that thing. I do understand and can relate to your points though. It's one of those films that either you enjoy it or you don't depending on how much your willing to suspend your belief I guess. Either way, I think both sides can obviously see it's flaws.
As someone who’s watched your coverage and reactions leading up to the release of Alien Romulus, I’m glad to hear you liked it. I watched the film twice on Thursday haha. I really like it and enjoyed it. But I still can’t wrap my head around the last 15-20 minutes. In general, the film went from Alien to Aliens too fast and I wished it stayed more to Alien. I’d still watch it again.
Cheers buddy. Yeah well, I actually kinda wish we got an extra 10 minutes on Jackson Star, just to take in the surroundings and absorb the atmosphere. I don't know if the pacing was off but i would have liked the film to be longer just to add more sections to the whole narrative, you know. I was happy that I enjoyed it though ;)
Hello DARKNESS my old enemy, turn on the lights! Dark cinematography sucks! The ending was ridiculous.
@@mikepanick9362 fair enough buddy.
Keen to hear your full review chief. I watched on Friday in the Showcase Soton X screen top of the range. I loved it, mostly. Thought there was a much cleaner more satisfying obvious ending without the gawkiness we were left with. 😁
Haha, the ending was decisive indeed. Yeah I'll get to work on a full review this week but may need to watch again as all the juicy parts went by in a flash haha!
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE I really liked it, the characters, story, acting, sets and athestics. It captured the dread and fear and the love and hard work were obvious. Solid film and lived up to my hopes. Will be standing by for your considered thoughts..
@@austenpowers did you feel as though the ending was tacked on? Maybe Alvarez didn’t have full creative control and was kinda forced to shoot it. Ridley Scott I’m looking at you!!!!!
I concur with RLM it was great for the first half hour, Then it went off the rails. Too many memberberries. Looked great was acted well but i didnt like it. too much copying old sayings from other movies. you could feel the cinema turning then at the end most of them had given up.
@@doctoronishispsychosislab1474 yeah those moments distract and are unforgivable for some people. Shame but I'm just happy I enjoyed it enough to be excited for the future in this franchise.
Saw it yesterday, the Andy & Raine dynamic was great, tension was great, I Iiked it, couple of things had my eyes rolled, but all in all 8 outta 10 from me.
@@paulclifford2428 I know exactly the eye rolling moments hehe! There must have been forced right? Some intern at Disney lol, I dunno. Glad you also had a great time.
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE, lol, I heard a couple in the row behind me give a groan as well. 😂
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE, I did have great time, cheers!
Bro!? Patreon or nah??? My nigga, we need to pay you for making videos in a comforting format!
@@thecopperiris haha! Funniest remark so far. I can't do patreon because I don't have the time outside of my day job to create extra long vids that would validate you honest and decent peeps paying a monthly sub. I believe there is a Super Thanks button on RUclips where ppl can donate but I never expect anyone to do that as it feels weird accepting others money for just my thoughts. Appreciate your supporting words though dude 😎
There's a very loud minority that dislikes this movie...but i emphasize "minority" because most people like/love this movie.. and with good reason. Its a great film.
@@jonathanlopez2697 it has many strengths that over shadows it's weaknesses I feel. It definitely could have been better but damm was it a thrilling bit of cinema, a truly great cinematic experience.
In cooking we was Taught a good meal they will tell 3 people about it. A bad meal they will tell 10. Personally i didnt like it. they whole cinema sighed when the anriod said what he did. (i'm assuming you seen it) one bad scence don't break a movie but it was jarring
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE I agree. I'm definitely not saying it's a perfect movie, most rarely are, only the greats in history carry that title. but that never makes it a "shit" one as plenty are claiming. Plenty of strengths in this film and overall an extremely engaging experience. 👍🏽👍🏽
Glad someone said it
Did you know spaceships in the future are so poorly lit you can’t see yit? Or that the lead actress turned on the light for 25 seconds? Dark cinematography is ruining movies, if it was this dark in the theater I can imagine it will be complete blackness at home. 😡
Didn't like it.
@@Lavonne1 sorry to hear that
I have my criticisms but overall I have positive impressions for Alien: Romulus I give it a rating of 7.5 👋🏾😉👍🏾
If you thought a year ago that you would have given a score like that to this film, then you'd be over the moon right? I know I would. I heavily criticised this film early on but my biggest fears such as the cast were my least of problems. So happy it is a very acceptable Alien film, at least for me ;)
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE It isn't cheesy and it didn't insult like Ridley Scott did with his damn irritating prequels which carried his and the studio's meddling.
Excellent first thoughts. My wife and I just saw it today. She was slightly creeped out, but she is not big into Alien. I, on the other hand, like you found myself soaking up the W-Y world and looking for the abundant easter eggs in every scene. It is fitting that with the ending, literally Prometheus was the last movie I saw in a theater! It sort of was call back to the DNA events in Alien 4, sort of. Even $50 bucks on a tub of popcorn, candy, and drinks were worth it for this installment. I am glad the movie lived up to the hype. My initial would be 4.5 Stars/5. I'll sneek away from the office during the week to see it again. One satisfying part is how the "wah ur" big mouth met his demise 😂. I will look forward to your indepth spoiler reviews in future vids. Cheers!
@@michaelg.1786 we had a similar experience then 👍 Glad you enjoyed it. Mostly, this film excited my imagination into the realm of possibilities and discoveries of what else we can learn about the company and its invested interests. It was a short but thrilling ride. I'll also need to pull a sickie "cough" I mean take an extended break to go watch again this week. Especially if I am to fully review this film. I failed to catch some of the terminology of the extracted pathogen and other scientific endeavours that the scientists had discovered.
Eventually the audience wants to know where they comes from ? Perhaps a planet where they are breathed by the engineers ? Or another species like the predators ? Or an unknown God created them ?
@@ControkNonen I'm making a new series of vids where I try to scientifically explain them from the perspective of a Weyland science personnel. I know it sounds silly but I've done so much research into the idea of silicon based life forms and what analogous life in Earth best represents the Xenomorph that I feel I might be able to offer some insight into this. Until of course a real scientist watches it and destroys me haha!
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE It was an explaination how the black goo worked in the movie ? To create new lifeforms by extracting dna from excisting ones ?
@@ControkNonen it is the origin that I'm interested in.
Saw it. Enjoyed it. I to liked the ending. Had a good creep factor, to it. It also should be noted, it’s done quite well in its opening weekend. I just hope they don’t rush another into production, anytime soon. Fede Alvarez said he already has an idea for AVP3. I hope it doesn’t go that route.
@@cjm753bc8 in a weird way, I hope he does. Only because I don't include those films into canon, so who cares in my mind 😜. Glad you enjoyed it as I knew after watching it there would be a big divide in the comments and understandably so. Never have I been so creeped out in a recent film by the ending here lol!
The world-building and overall look and feel of the movie were impressive, but unfortunately, that's where the praise ends for me. Aside from Andy and Rain, the rest of the characters were poorly developed and difficult to care about. Honestly, they were so irritating that I found myself just waiting for them to be killed off. The decision to bring back a certain character was a huge misstep, made worse by some very questionable deepfake effects that already look outdated-and certainly won't age well over the next few years. The editing choices were disorienting, and reusing iconic lines from Aliens came across as cringeworthy and unnecessary. I actually lost count of how many times I found myself thinking, "This is so stupid," throughout the movie. And to think, one of the reasons this franchise started to decline was because of Alien Resurrection's ridiculous ending with the "true born" hybrid. Yet here they are, repeating the same mistakes again. Why? The first two Alien films are beloved for their innovative blend of horror, science fiction, and intelligent storytelling. Alien Romulus is none of this. I feel that some die-hard fans of the franchise are being overly generous in their praise, perhaps out of a desire to protect the series, but it's not going to help in the long run. I'm being generous with a 6.5/10, and it received good ratings and had a strong opening weekend at the box office thanks to clever marketing, which is not reflective of the movie. It just makes me sad.
@@MusicShaneCollins it might be one of those films some may have to compartmentalize and appreciate it separately perhaps to the comparisons of the originals. I saw it as a separate entity and was happy for the ride, but I do understand the flaws you guys point out
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE The meaning with bringing Ash back,is to show that the engineers had the elixir to both bring dead back to life,and to prolongue life.That is the mission of the spaceship "Prometheus"in the first movie.This secret mission was hidden from the crew,and is essential in the first movie,so i feel that a conclusion is needed 😀
Huge disappointment. Drop the last 20min and it would have been better
@@danielwesther3634 I was watching a RUclips vid on the actor who played the spoiler end segment, very interesting from an acting point of view.
Funny, I thought final part was some of the best. No fan service, it was original, and it felt like a horror movie. The rest of the movie was very good but the line repeating fan service was the only big weakness
@@aaroncall5274 it was so creepy that it made me stop asking questions about how it can exist. True horror should disgust us with the unknown 👍
I think that it was not necessary and that the 20 Minutes could have been used to give us more time with the Characters and Xenomorphs. I can see that Alvarez wanted to make this a love letter to the Franchise as a whole though.
@@davebear9825 I feel like the Xenos died to quick and all at once 🤔 Maybe some extra time with them might have been more productive in terms of their ending.
It is worse than i imagined. Compare and contrast just the opening scene, the opening few seconds, to what we got in Aliens. You know, that scene where they find Ripley, and there's this machine scanner thing and half a dozen men dressed as firemen, the brief exchange of dialogue. Reminscent of the *feeling* we got from Alien, where there are normal people doing their job in a normal way, that we can relate to. But what do we get in Romulus? We get a scene without dialogue (at least i dont remember any) and the people act like they're from a 1950s scifi flick, and a bad one at that. What was that all about, was that deliberate, was that some kind homage to something or other, more member berries! It didnt get much better in the next scene, i mean for goodness sake, that bit where they add the years, omg, why! And of course Andy gets a beating, just like something out of the 80s. The characters are unlikable, which seems be to standard fair these days. Either they should have been shown to be extremely lucky in their escapade or shown to be uniquely gifted in some way. Instead they just thought of it first, cuz reasons, and yet they are not just unlikable but typically dumb and ignorant, so much so one wonders how they managed to survive for so long in such a society, never mind be the sort of people in this society to have access to such wonders, techonology and machines. It is just awful.
@@ITSREALLYNOTYOURFAULT you didn't like it then? 😉. In comparison to Prometheus, I much preferred these characters but I understand your complaints buddy. I think many will share your views
Wow. Glad we are all unique in interests. I'm glad I saw a different Alien movie!
@@michaelg.1786 Enjoying the enormity of it all, revelling in the jump scares, appreciating the cinemetography, does not a good movie make. It is not a good movie, it is a few stitched together horror scenes that feel good at the time but are ultimately devoid of any meaningful attachment, a bit like what you get from having a one night stand, it was ok while it lasted (about two hours). It is full of member berries that ellicited the most passionate groans of the night. Ive got nothing against anyone that watches lots of pawn and gets off on having one night stands, btw - you do you, and all that.
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE There were bits i liked, thought were great, even enjoyed, but i'm not gonna let any of that get in the way of a good rant. 🙂
@@ITSREALLYNOTYOURFAULT Sometimes you gotta rant to feel better ;)
It's crap, a new low. They really should have done the sequel to covenant
I want to see how that continues also. Plus, another Marines expedition into a highly contentious area of Weyland interest would be a nice surprise.
Alien is nothing without Ripley ;-D So yeah, the new movie may be not bad, but Ripley is missing badly.
@@zzzzzap impossible to have her back at this stage sadly and I never want to see a CGI version of her haha!
Ripley is just one drama. I've moved on from her.
@@Khultan the actress also accepted Alien 4, which in my view kinda finished her credibility 😲. That being said, she is one of my favourite actors and a true legend, just saying 😉
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE Others can bring different characteristics in different situations.
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE I don't want her back. Disgraceful just like the original STAR WARS cast.
This film was set in-between Alien 1 and 2 and took both the horror and tension from the first and some of the action from the second. It even included small tie-ins to Prometheus, which I loved as I liked them as spin-offs. Perfect reboot to the Alien franchise in my opinion
@@bozcoustics5448 if it gets better from here then that will be good news indeed. Maybe Ridley will finally get his Covenant 2 green lit?
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE that would be cool to see mate, we'll have to see how Alien Earth does though for now I expect
The best Alien movie in the franchise since Aliens
@@chination1796 I still have fond memories of Alien 3 imo, but both films have their minor flaws in comparison to the first two. This one was a great cinema experience though 👍
I was disappointed, and left wishing i had been able to see alien or aliens in the cinema.
It's a horrible feeling when that happens. There is something to be said about tempering your expectations, especially when comparing to the mighty Alien and Aliens. I also want somebody to make another The Thing movie but i know bloody well that it won't be on par with the original sadly.
Just go watch the original movie. I don't get all the complaints.
Going to watch today. I've mostly avoided reviews and story element spoilers, so I should experience it fresh, mostly. I am aware of the "typical gen z characters" angle and the solid dose of fan service "'memberberries". I can live with those (I think). I'm hoping to enjoy some sweet practical effect aliens and atmosphere, and hopefully a return to more "alien focused" Alien stories lol.
Good luck buddy and hopefully I didn't spoil anything for you in this vid, I tried not to ;) The practical elements were very noticeable for me and loved that nothing looked bad in any way. It really did add so much tension and eye candy at the same time.
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE I skipped forward one moment near the end where my Spidey senses thought I heard you getting ready to say something I didn't want to hear yet, but you delivered a spoiler free experience. 😅👍
Don't worry mate, they may be classed as genz in age but they really aren't written as that in my opinion. If you're a fan of 1-4, you'll probably love it. There's references to every one and I loved it as a big Alien fan
@@bozcoustics5448 nice to hear! I'm sitting in the theater now waiting for trailers to start. ⚡🥳 ⚡
@@catbertz make sure you go for a piss early on lol. I found myself having to wait for about an hour half way in because I didn't want to miss anything haha
He was a good soldier/marine but he was a bad leader. Simple as that really.
Makes a boring theory though 😉😉😉
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE don't get me wrong I'd sooner serve under a bad soldier who was a good leader than a good soldier who was a bad leader. A bad leader will kill more of his own people than a bad soldier.
7.5 / 10
@@cosmosrunner that's not too bad 👌
Hey buddy. I just saw the movie today. I wont add my true feelings till your spolier review. But im kinda disappointed which saddens me. Alot to like but....
@@bsmith6646 I get which parts are going to be devisive but for some reason I enjoyed it quite a bit. I have an overwhelming feeling of needing more as Romulus felt like a tiny chapter in something much larger. So I hope we get further projects and time for things to be fine tuned.
I watched it on Friday and absolutely loved it but I'm a massive fan of Fede so may be biased. It felt like a love letter to all four films with references to each one! The guy sat next to me who was clearly a big horror fan, didn't feel quite the same but still enjoyed it. We chatted for a while as the credits were rolling. I loved it though. I'd have just have liked a little more xenomorph but otherwise it was a really sick film and I fully enjoyed it
@@bozcoustics5448 great to hear. I went at mid day and there were only a few others in the theatre with me. All dad's that grew up with this franchise and sitting alone like me in pure appreciation of experiencing another Alien film. I share your optimism and think the pros far outweigh the cons here. There were shots of the Xenos moving slowly with hesitation or that lift sequence! But then the film more than made up for it with terrifying close ups of Xenos doing things you'd never seen them perform before. It left me with much to think about and I love that in a film.
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDEClose up of Xenos doing what? Lol The Xenos didn't do anything special in this movie and were so underwhelming . They were a minor factor and got very little screen time. Heck they were even used as fodder cannon plot device for the acid sequence to take place. The movie was very disappointing !
@@ikaros21 I have to agree. Xeno time was very limited
