It's so cool that you loved it too! I had so much fun watching it at the theater. It kept me on the edge of my seat. As someone who loved Prometheus and Covenant more than most, I really appreciated those hints in the movie.
I saw it today, and love that it reference Prometheus and Covenant. That body temperature scene with the face huggers had me on edge. I love how they showed how horrifying they were. Andy is the best!!! Great review, keep up the great work!!!
Thanks again Marianna. Just came home from space. Unlike most roller coaster,s this one just kept slowly ascending until the breakneck downhill whiplash of that final third of the film. I wasn't so put off by the 'digital element'. And yes do a big Alien video! It's been quite a year for horror. And dolls and androids have been themes for a couple of years now. (Hey we need your Longlegs!)
@@ImpressionBlendGreat review of a pretty good movie Not everyone's gonna be happy with it some people aren't going to like the direction it takes but most people these days are just so unpleasant they don't like nothing hate it just to hate it because they don't like what happens or because it's not the movie they wanted made I respect it for being fun and not pushing some kind of agenda like 90% of the movies out there today I was able to sit down watch it without having to be brainwashed and just had fun at the theater and that acid cocoon scene oh my goodness also the World building the production was beautiful either way I don't want to be called weird for saying I liked it have a great day new subscriber
Fantastic review! I’m super excited to see it this week and I’ve been a huge Alien fan for years, so I’m always pumped for something new even when they keep putting out stinkers. The vibe of Romulus reminds me a lot of Alien: Isolation. Have you played that. Would love more Alien videos from you!
The woman vaginally egg laying at the end, which hatches into a smiling engineer-human thing was a bit of a misstep, expecially with how rain uses the acid left in the broken egg to dissolve the floor of her ship to create a hole that it gets sucked through. Shocking, too, how she is able to use her smart machine gun to destroy the entire hive of aliens like they are nothing. Rain being the only survivor and signing off like Ripley in the end is a bit disappointing, too. That's my review anyway. Let me know what you think when you've seen it.
@@ImpressionBlendAs an old school Alien/Aliens fan (who was so excited in 1992 because Alien 3 was coming out on my birthday) I can’t recommend enough playing Alien Isolation to completion. It’s essentially Alien 2 and in an alternate universe where Ridley Scott made the sequel. Meanwhile, Aliens: Dark Descent is the only video game I’ve ever experienced in 30 years understands how to adapt Aliens. It feels like if James Cameron returned to make Alien 3.
I'm so excited! As someone with a pretty intense fear of spiders, the facehugger scenes we glimpsed in the trailer are NIGHTMARE fuel to me. I've always found them creepy but I think Alvarez has possibly made them shine even more!
Found you trough the top letterbox review lol, really looking forward seeing your other opinions ! Agreed, I enjoyed the move a lot and the ending blew my mind, I felt like I was surprised again as in the first movie.
disagree with the cgi character. They sacrificed an insignificant visual for storytelling. Good call. But I agree with almost everything else. Good shit!
When you have a character called "Andy" in *this* series, adding that "I'm being vague on purpose" becomes the same thing as saying the spoiler out loud.
@@steveforsyth7269 Yeah, although this one is so corny that people might not have noticed if not for the flag. If I really don't want to spoil anything then I don't tell people that I don't want to spoil anything, otherwise that's a least a mini-spoiler in itself because they're going to be watching alert for the "surprise" (and they're much more likely to spot it).
Well, i finally saw Alien Romulus.... While i typically agree with many of your opinions on films you review in this case I have to really disagree. I found the film boring. Much of that came from what i think is a very underdeveloped script particularly with regards to the characters. Besides what little I knew about the main character and her android friend, the rest if that group were essentially anonymous. The director doesn't seem to understand that if you don't have any understanding of who these people are you won't care when they get killed. The director also wasn't able to deftly build tension and dred that eventually leads to the violence. The whole film felt like a cut and paste from previous films only out of context and poorly done. This leads me to the gawd- awful memberberries. Its obvious that the film you are watching can't be taken seriously if every five minutes it has to reference previous films in the franchise with blatant dialog lifts and other rips. The film also mostly looked dim or underlit (in a bad way) . Prometheus and Covenant were bad and angered me. Romulus was terribly unoriginal and bored me. 2 stars out of 5
My thoughts exactly, I was very satisfied with this movie. Being a rehash of previous films prevent it from being groundbreaking, but it was really well done.
I had such a fun time watching this one. It felt like a fresh new addition to the franchise that will likely draw in a new, younger crowd to see the originals which I think is a great thing. Cool to see it standalone but also tie into the other installments. Great horror in space!
The production and direction were top notch, but the movie is brought down by card board cut out characters with no personality, except Andy and the main girl. I liked it fine, but it wasn't scary. The person I saw it with said "I'd never watch it again." At first I thought that was harsh but the more I thought about the movie I realized I'd never watch it again either. It's a 6/10 for me. It's the character development and some writing that brought it down. Plus I'm not a fan of the prequels, but I guess they're Canon now and are going to bleed into all future Alien movies. So I'm just going to tap out on the Alien franchise completely after this.
Great review as always! I liked the film alot but there were things I didn't like the one character you were talking about with the CGI element. That didn't need to be here. I also felt like the film was a little too derivative of earlier films and I felt like there wasn't enough of the zenomorphs but overall, I think Fede Alvarez did a great directing because everything looked visually stunning. The tone of the movie was perfect. Hope he comes back to do another one. But lets have it set on maybe a colony of people on a planet or something instead of a spaceship for 7th time
@@MovieFanMitchkeep glazing bro. Grammar aside, the film is such an obviously botched Disney attempt at an Alien film and it’s separating the wheat from the chaff. Ah well.
being a 46 year old alien fan. I smiled at the cinema. I liked prometheous too but since the follow up movie didnt conclude anything from that one. there is no question this is the third best alien movie for me. Somethings feelt off for sure but overall that does not matter. This is cinema when its great and Im thankfull I still can experience that cause I thought cinema was dying.
A friend and I review movies ourselves. We appreciate the honest but fair opinion. There’s been a lot of unfair criticism because it’s not what people wanted. You have to take what the movie gives you.
Thank you! This movie was so fun! The tension was fantastic I was on the edge of my seat and the third act is perfectly bonkers! And Andy was the absolute stand out! And that alien nest corridor set, my god! Can’t wait to grab the blu ray!
Thanks for the review. Can't wait to see it🌌 I enjoyed Fede's work on Evil Dead remake and hope Ridley gave him enough freedom to create what he wanted in the first place. Without unnecessary compromises)
@@ImpressionBlend Aww, pity. I was waiting for your rant, knowing the original one is your favorite movie and watching your reaction to the trailer. I knew the chances that somehow the new one subverted all the expectations and became a masterpiece were like 1% but I wasn’t counting with it being completely destroyed by critics, I assumed some slight level of quality would be put into it.
I’ve been waiting for this movie since seeing the trailer months ago and it’s only 2 days away until I get to see more face huggers attaching themselves to other unsuspecting humans. This is gonna be a killer ride for sure 😁 Thanks for the review 😊
YES! I'm glad we finally have a great ALIEN movie! Most people are praising the movie, and the reviews that are coming out are with high scores. It seems that finally critics and viewers agree on something, even if it's just a little. Fede is a awesome director, his version of EVIL DEAD is great and really recommend watching it. 💪
Please do a franchise ranking. I’d love to hear your take on all the films, in particular Resurrection, which I love in all of its crazy glory. (But I was 17 when it came out and I was beyond hyped to see it in the theater so I’m sure I have no objectivity about it.)
Seems like it's a resounding yes from people on the franchise ranking, so I'm looking forward to rewatch ALL the "Alien" movies next week. Haven't seen "Resurrection" myself since catching it on TV in my late teens, so that will be interesting...
I’ve actually heard this complaint from other people, so you’re definitely not alone. I didn’t have this issue but I also saw it in Dolby, so maybe this made a difference
I didn't have a problem with the CGI character that appears in the film, Marianna. I enjoyed this one just as much as you did but I wasn't a fan of the 3rd act as it reminded too much of the 3rd act in the 4th film in series. Also, please to a ranking video if you haven't already, Marianna.
Is this ‘Don’t Breathe’ in space by replacing a blind man with aliens? I thought it was an interesting opinion when I first heard it. What do you think?
I knew to trust the film the moment i saw Fede Alvarez name attach to it. He is great with tension. Ever since Evil Dead he has become my go to for tension.
Great review, thanks for posting it! Dreading the horrible CGI as I’m seeing it with some animator friends. Do you think the familiar things are meant to welcome viewers back? Do you think Fede will be back to direct future instalments?
I think they’re meant as a love letter to the franchise, but also to reassure the viewers they’re in safe hands and we’re going back to where it all began. I would love to see Fede direct more “Alien” films, I hope he does!
@@ImpressionBlend So its a better welcome back than JJ Abrams and Star Wars. Thats a relief. I hope he does too! Then he can really explore and do his thing.
Saw it yesterday and I loved it! I totally agree tho that the cgi element was distracting and felt out of place. Everything else looked so cool and real
Certified fresh ! Solid 8/10 ✅ “Honoring its nightmarish predecessors while chestbursting at the seams with new frights of its own, Romulus injects some fresh acid blood into one of cinema's great horror franchises.” - RT
People just want to criticize anything. Some just don't know how to enjoy anything anymore. I thought it looked great and realized that seeing him made me believe that this was between Alien and Aliens. That rifle scene made me appreciate the colonial marines waaaaay more!!!!
I was impressed w/ his version of The Evil Dead so I'm sure I'm gonna love the movie. The Evil Dead remake creeped me the F out & a movie hasn't had that effect on me in decades. Most of the reviews I've read were positive. 🥚
You're my favorite person!!🥰 It's understandable why many others would think these are young high school kids. Cailee is only 5'1. Very petite!😂 I have my ticket for tomorrow, can't wait! Did you get an Alien Romulus popcorn bucket?👽🍿
The trailer was not so appealing to me as a very dedicated alien fan, but the movie itself really succeeds in many aspects surprisingly. Trust the hype! You will love it if you love alien & aliens!
@@ImpressionBlend I still like Prometheus more compared to Covenant. It had Noomi Rapace too (an actress that I like) and I also first saw it in 3D (back then I think the 3D was still a fairly new thing for movies 😅). I still remember that scene when that big ship crashes down and I kinda felt a need to raise my arm (like out of fear of that ship being ready to fall on me 😂 it was an amazing feeling back then / it looked so damn real). I also saw that with my brother who back then visited us kinda rarely (from other country that he was living in) ..like once or twice a year so it was extra special to see that movie in our home city and in the movie theater. I will never hate that Prometheus movie 😂 I have some good memories with it (from my first viewing). Me and my brother had a good time watching it (we didn't exit from the movie theater like a bunch of haters of that movie / as SOME other people from around the world ..MAY have been) 😂. I even have it on a bluray disc in my movies collection.
@@cianeck6993 Prometheus is still one of my favorite movies. It was disappointing that they just left that story line from Alien Covenant on a huge cliff hanger and never planned to wrap it up. Very frustrating because I liked the cast. Now they are doing another spin off? Nothing will ever compare to the first 4 Alien movies. But Prometheus was close for me. I will still check out the new movie.
@@ConsciousSoul2I love Prometheus and invested so much to the series too. It is so disheartening to me they just forgo the series. Therefore I was not so excited with this new alien movie at all but after the viewing, I could say I am surprisingly satisfied with this movie and the hype is no lie!
@@Taku10619 Right on, I will defiantly check it out . I just hate having something that huge left unfinished.They could have done so much with the Prometheus story line. 😁
That whole portion was laughable and unnecessary. I found the pregnant woman uninteresting, so I couldn't wait for her to be killed by the alien. Instead, she gives birth to the most ridiculous CGI fail I have seen in quite some time. Fail.
@ImpressionBlend I am so damn excited for this movie that I actually decided to watch the entire franchise past aliens for the first time ever and honestly, I don’t see why people hate Alien 3 so much, was it a major step down in quality from the first 2 films? Absolutely it was, however I thought it still had it’s great moments particularly the chase sequence between the Alien and the prisoners on Fury the prison planet was pretty intense and fantastic. I don’t know it was a major step down in quality in my opinion but, I didn’t outright hate it like a lot of people did I thought there was some interesting ideas brought to the franchise in it personally.
Thanks for keeping the conversation interesting Marianna, I would love an Alien unpacking. I just purchased the currently available post of William Gibson’s Alien^3. [I also have the version Dark Knight Comics had before… well you know 🐭] Off topic, After I finish listening to the Grapes of Wrath, I am listening to Anne Applebaum’s Red Famine.
I don't understand why people don't like CGI beloved characters, if it doesn't look like cgi people would still say "oh, hmm, but he is dead", i like when i see cgi of characters regardless of quality
For me the third act ruined the experience, unfortunately, I believe it's better to keep things simple. But there was a lot to love, still. Love to watch your reviews and would really enjoy to know your thoughts on the prequels 🙂
Can't wait to see this i was so impressed with his evil dead 2013 remake of the film he done. From all the trailers i've been seeing from his new alien films looks what i wanted from Prometheus and Covenant but failed back to it roots from the the first 2 Alien films
Thank you for this review. Was wondering if you plan on posting a 'House of the Dragon' season finale recap video and what series you will review next. Thanks Marianna.😃
Yes, of course! As far as episode recaps, I'll definitely do "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" next year because I'm committed to Westeros, but I'm also considering "Dune: Prophecy", depending on how much there is to talk about after the premiere.

Agreed! You hit it on the nose when you described this as “somewhere between Alien and Aliens”.. I enjoyed this!
Glad you enjoyed it!

I loved Romulus and Prey, it's great to see two beloved sci-fi franchises take a return to form.
My favorite reviewer is back reviewing horror content! 😇
Fantastic review! I’m super excited to see it this week and I’ve been a huge Alien fan for years, so I’m always pumped for something new even when they keep putting out stinkers. The vibe of Romulus reminds me a lot of Alien: Isolation. Have you played that. Would love more Alien videos from you!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Played “Alien: Isolation” very briefly, and I agree, definitely had similar vibes
I beat Alien:Isolation recently and it’s good to hear that, it had very similar vibes

Same here! I don’t really care the obvious CGI of that character as it does serve a significant purpose.
When you have a character called "Andy" in *this* series, adding that "I'm being vague on purpose" becomes the same thing as saying the spoiler out loud.
So he's the android...
@@LennyNero2019That gets revealed within the first 5 minutes.
I mean, just when she said the name I immediately said out lout "Andy the Android" so .. but it's Alien, you're always looking for the android reveal.
@@steveforsyth7269 Yeah, although this one is so corny that people might not have noticed if not for the flag.

How in the hell did that cgi face get past quality control. Absolutely a failure. The rest of the movie was really good though
Had a blast with this, would definitely love an Alien ranking video!
Well, i finally saw Alien Romulus....
While i typically agree with many of your opinions on films you review in this case I have to really disagree.
I found the film boring. Much of that came from what i think is a very underdeveloped script particularly with regards to the characters. Besides what little I knew about the main character and her android friend, the rest if that group were essentially anonymous. The director doesn't seem to understand that if you don't have any understanding of who these people are you won't care when they get killed.
The director also wasn't able to deftly build tension and dred that eventually leads to the violence.
The whole film felt like a cut and paste from previous films only out of context and poorly done. This leads me to the gawd- awful memberberries.
Its obvious that the film you are watching can't be taken seriously if every five minutes it has to reference previous films in the franchise with blatant dialog lifts and other rips.
The film also mostly looked dim or underlit (in a bad way) .
Prometheus and Covenant were bad and angered me. Romulus was terribly unoriginal and bored me.
2 stars out of 5
I just watched it yesterdya and loved it! Really great movie- hope it will get a big audience to watch it😊
My thoughts exactly, I was very satisfied with this movie. Being a rehash of previous films prevent it from being groundbreaking, but it was really well done.
I had such a fun time watching this one. It felt like a fresh new addition to the franchise that will likely draw in a new, younger crowd to see the originals which I think is a great thing. Cool to see it standalone but also tie into the other installments. Great horror in space!

Romulus was alright. The other sequels lowered the bar so bad, I'd rate this 3rd place after Alien and Aliens. The ending could have been far better.

It's understandable why many others would think these are young high school kids. Cailee is only 5'1. Very petite!😂
I have my ticket for tomorrow, can't wait! Did you get an Alien Romulus popcorn bucket?👽🍿
Excited to see this but respectfully, where’s the HOD e8 review!?
Next week, sorry, it’s my birthday this week
@@ImpressionBlend Oh no worries at all, I just look forward to them after every episode! Hope you have a Happy Birthday!!!! 😊🎉🎈🎂
Thank you! ☺️
I love aliens, but when I saw the trailer, i thought it looked like a poor Netflix movie.
Really? I can't say the trailers gave me that impression
The trailer was not so appealing to me as a very dedicated alien fan, but the movie itself really succeeds in many aspects surprisingly. Trust the hype! You will love it if you love alien & aliens!
Didn't alien covenant also bring back the horror element?
I mean… it tried, especially compared to “Prometheus”. But “Romulus” is a lot more successful on that front.
@@ImpressionBlend I still like Prometheus more compared to Covenant. It had Noomi Rapace too (an actress that I like) and I also first saw it in 3D (back then I think the 3D was still a fairly new thing for movies 😅). I still remember that scene when that big ship crashes down and I kinda felt a need to raise my arm (like out of fear of that ship being ready to fall on me 😂 it was an amazing feeling back then / it looked so damn real). I also saw that with my brother who back then visited us kinda rarely (from other country that he was living in) ..like once or twice a year so it was extra special to see that movie in our home city and in the movie theater. I will never hate that Prometheus movie 😂 I have some good memories with it (from my first viewing). Me and my brother had a good time watching it (we didn't exit from the movie theater like a bunch of haters of that movie / as SOME other people from around the world ..MAY have been) 😂. I even have it on a bluray disc in my movies collection.

Prometheus is still one of my favorite movies. It was disappointing that they just left that story line from Alien Covenant on a huge cliff hanger and never planned to wrap it up. Very frustrating because I liked the cast.
Now they are doing another spin off? Nothing will ever compare to the first 4 Alien movies. But Prometheus was close for me.
I will still check out the new movie.
@@ConsciousSoul2I love Prometheus and invested so much to the series too. It is so disheartening to me they just forgo the series. Therefore I was not so excited with this new alien movie at all but after the viewing, I could say I am surprisingly satisfied with this movie and the hype is no lie!
@@Taku10619 Right on, I will defiantly check it out .
I just hate having something that huge left unfinished.They could have done so much with the Prometheus story line. 😁
I'm still conflicted about the "2nd ending with the hybrid." Maybe I'll come around when i watch it a 2nd time
That whole portion was laughable and unnecessary. I found the pregnant woman uninteresting, so I couldn't wait for her to be killed by the alien. Instead, she gives birth to the most ridiculous CGI fail I have seen in quite some time.
Fail.
Space: where no one can hear you *MEME.*
Man it'd be awesome if something similar could be done to the Terminator franchise.
@ImpressionBlend I am so damn excited for this movie that I actually decided to watch the entire franchise past aliens for the first time ever and honestly, I don’t see why people hate Alien 3 so much, was it a major step down in quality from the first 2 films?
Absolutely it was, however I thought it still had it’s great moments particularly the chase sequence between the Alien and the prisoners on Fury the prison planet was pretty intense and fantastic.
I don’t know it was a major step down in quality in my opinion but, I didn’t outright hate it like a lot of people did I thought there was some interesting ideas brought to the franchise in it personally.
agree with you about the CGI character...didnt need to be "him"...coule have been someone else...avoiding spoilers here
Thanks for keeping the conversation interesting Marianna, I would love an Alien unpacking. I just purchased the currently available post of William Gibson’s Alien^3. [I also have the version Dark Knight Comics had before… well you know 🐭]
Off topic, After I finish listening to the Grapes of Wrath, I am listening to Anne Applebaum’s Red Famine.
10:13, yes please do rank the movies that would be cool and the controversy probably would drive engagement as well.
I don't understand why people don't like CGI beloved characters, if it doesn't look like cgi people would still say "oh, hmm, but he is dead", i like when i see cgi of characters regardless of quality
For me the third act ruined the experience, unfortunately, I believe it's better to keep things simple. But there was a lot to love, still. Love to watch your reviews and would really enjoy to know your thoughts on the prequels 🙂
Can't wait to see this i was so impressed with his evil dead 2013 remake of the film he done. From all the trailers i've been seeing from his new alien films looks what i wanted from Prometheus and Covenant but failed back to it roots from the the first 2 Alien films
Yup I almost sh!t my pants on the 1st jump scare. I hate them. The sound was way too loud! I liked it, the end was a bit cheesy.
I feel I'm a hard to please moviegoer. I liked it. 8/10.
Extremely exciting for this one
At first glance I thought your necklace was the derelict ship lol.
Thank you for this review. Was wondering if you plan on posting a 'House of the Dragon' season finale recap video and what series you will review next. Thanks Marianna.😃
Yes, of course! As far as episode recaps, I'll definitely do "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" next year because I'm committed to Westeros, but I'm also considering "Dune: Prophecy", depending on how much there is to talk about after the premiere.
i think it should have been named ALIEN: The Thrill is Gone. i actually fell asleep... twice
I like Fede's remakes but I want another original film from him. Don't Breathe was an excellent film.
It's fine
I'm just hoping I enjoy it more than the prequels....
Try Ranking the whole Alien Franchise !
