I absolutely adore the fact a lot of this was practical, no green screen, full sets, and CGI where it was needed. I thought this was a fantastic Alien revive/film. I'm not against more!
95% of the movie was excellent! The Ian Holm CGI was terrible, but that was really the only problem. The rest of it was great! Good movie, and I'll watch it again!
Everyone talks about Giger, but the other real world builder in the Alien universe is Ron Cobb. Even in this movie his shapes, iconography and aesthetic is as strong as ever. RIP
THANK YOU FOR NOT USING the typical listed actors/actresses. We for sure need a new face, voice, and personality to Hollywood movies. I'm so sick of every film having the same actor/actresses. That's all I cared about. LOL
What difference it makes when everything else is fan service? More important would be to get the film right and something original going on. Alien 4 failed because of its ending why repeat it. Prometheus failed because of it black goo, but he repeats it
@@africanhistoryAlien 4 failed not because of ending, but because it was bad alien movie and more silly summer blockbuster with comic book vibe. Prometheus failed because it was a complete shitshow of ideas that Ridley changen every five minutes. In the end we have a movie with stupid characters and mash of different ideas. Both hybrid and black goo are great ideas that expand the universe. I don't think that "not being original" is problem, because after many years of failed movies we needed soft reboot. If sequels are not gonna be original - that's a problem
@@africanhistory Prometheus failed because conflict between writer and drirector, and Ridley change everything halfway to the end of the movie, it was like watching two different movie. Watch (or read) original script of the prometheus, it's amazing.
@@dushansinx7149One has a clear skull cover., two didn't. Three was a running alien born of an animal. How are they all the same and this one different for you?
I thought the film was total rubbish, full of cliches, just load all alien movies into AI for scenario, replace all good actors with 15 year old kids, that 1/2 alien 1/2 human is terrible. Make the film accessible to 15 years old here is the reciepy for making cash, not a good film.
Saw it twice what I like the most is how isolated you feel dark hallways suspenseful with great visuals this was totally made with love and passion. As a fan of Alien glad this is doing well and is reaching out to new fans of Alien.
I liked it at most! actually finding The Xenomorph that Ripley is such a big of a stretch!would make more sense if they flew to moon LV 426 and found the Engineers ship again!
Practical effects are only effective if we have believable characters. Jaws is the classic example of that. Aliens is the best cinema experience I ever had. This had none of that.
I'm watching this, I see the sets, miniatures, puppets, costumes, wires, slime and smoke and I think "Wow, that's so impressive, takes real craft and hard work. I wonder if all this costs a lot, maybe doing it with CG would be cheaper?" Then I remember that the budget is $80 mil. Not peanuts, but way less than you'd think, way less than major studios spend on their blockbuster actions filled with CG. Because this movie looks incredible. Like, watch, we can have incredible visuals on a small-ish budget. We can have it so good, just let people who know what they're doing do their thing.
The tools can be quite good these days, but it really shows when someone has the skill, what they pulled off with 80mil and put to film makes that absolutely clear, no amount of money can overcome having the right team for the movie. and having finally finished Alien: Isolation after it terrified me too much years ago, I love all the nods and references to it, was keeping an eye out for those save stations XD
yeah because these hand crafted scenees...i do sometimes thought they are just rendered by unreal engine...fine they wanted to go back in 80s but people in 80s didnt have 4k displays to watch movie...and cinemas image quality was also another feeling
The cast is perfect. They are all good-looking actors. The sequence of scenes from firing that new x44aa pulse rifle is 100% the best-it all has the best angle shots with great sound effects. Congratulations to everyone who made this movie possible-it is well worth it.
as in all things, Moderation is key, it's easy to use too much of something and have it show threw, Romulus did a great job and my only regret is not going back to watch it a second time in theaters
I will say that it was not as gory as I thought it would be. I think the back burster in covenant was more aggressive than the birthing scene in Romulus. However, I really enjoyed this movie!
@@davidstone-haigh4880I didn't like the fact that they changed the design of the xenomorph like literally everything. The previous xenomorph from alien 1 2 3 4 was better!
I love every second of it. As an Alien fan I was not disappointed. The movie is full of heart and soul. I can’t believe Disney didn’t burn the franchise into the ground like they’re doing for with all their of IPs
@@halomultiplayermoments Oh yeah, like your comment, clearly exemplifying your nitwit mentality, is bursting with originality and well-articulated insight, you pathetic pimpf. 🤣
for me it's always justified when a xenomorph looks different, if they get part of their genetic material from the host, then it makes total sense that each one would look at least slightly different. That being said, the OG HR Giger design will always be the best.
I REALLY hope when this is released that it has a great commentary and a deep and rich behind the scenes set of features. I miss Blu-rays and DVDs that you would buy that had that extra disc in it full of behind the scenes stuff. Sometimes an hour or two hours in length I ended up watching those featurettes more than the movie. I have hope when this gets released to digital this is going to have some great behind the scenes stuff!
Just watched this in theaters yesterday and man what a ride this film was, perfectly paced with great characters and nods to every alien film in the franchise. This truly was a love letter to the Fans.
Lol! It was bad fan fiction written by AI filled with cheesy fan service dialog and scenes that’s basically a retelling of that trash Alien Ressurection movie Not only that but it retcons the end of ALIEN and nearly 50 years of established lore.
And best sound effects. The alien scream and pitter patter of the face huggers scurrying around and pulse rifle are top notch. Also the shuttle crashing into the science station was amazing. Special mention to then Rain gets sucked out into space and you hear the dead air of silence. Great visuals and sound. The Easter egg callbacks to the classic lines is a bit cringe but I love it.
Not even close for an oscar, messed around with the lore, brought nothing new to the franchise, the final act was basically a copy of resurrections last act, all stolen to make this mistake
Thanks for this. As others have said Practical effects are amazing. When watching it you have to remind yourself as they are that good. Some of the shots also are truly brilliant.
The use of practical effects is part of what made the original films so good. This was all well done and it made the movie waaaaay better. Didn't think we'd ever get this kind of thing again
Saw this last night and thought it was a fantastic film. So good to see this level of practical effects being used again. CGI just cannot create that same look or atmosphere.
Moderation, loooots of films don't have any moderation with CGI and just shotgun it everywhere, mixing practical effects good set design and a modest use of CGI looks so much better, the animatronics team did great work on the Xenomorph as well as everyone else involved, white a few scenes I'd love to save as Wallpapers for my PC
do people actually believe that they shot the outer space scenes for real? lol, guys the CG isn't bad, what's actually good is the proper use of CG in combination with practical, I bet there were way more CG facehuggers on screen than not, but because they showed a physical puppet our brains are just fooled, which is brilliant and that's pretty much the best way to do it, with invisible CG and practical.
Though the plot was trite and predictable, this is easily the best installment since Aliens. A return-to-form with plenty of quality xenomorph mayhem (the ‘facehugger swarm’ and ‘acid maze’ being highlights). And those Easter eggs! Truly a treat for diehard fans, lovingly-crafted by another.
The acid maze was honestly so cool, and I know they didnt do this so that they COULD have an acid maze, but while watching, I was like why not switch on the gravity and then back off before leaving that doorway with the switch, thus making all of the acid hit the ground and letting them fly through the air above it.
the practical effects definitely came in clutch for this movie. there were some plot things i didn't like so much, but were a lot easier to accept and take seriously thanks to the practical effects, cinematography, lighting, set design, and compelling characters. i definitely feel like without them i could've written this movie off as more of a cash grab nostalgia bait movie than an legitimate attempt to bring back the vibe and feel of the earlier movies. i bet if you were to put some film grain over Romulus, it'd be hard to distinguish it from being made in the 80s. Edit: I also wanted to mention that David Jonsson was my favorite of the cast, he did a phenomenal job of playing Andy, and was probably my favorite part of the movie. He really helped to immerse me into the world with just how well he played a slightly damaged/outdated android, and how quickly he could change to the more cold, calculating Rook-influenced Andy. I wish that they had maybe gone somewhere with the android welfare commentary, like I had expected that Andy would have had a chance to express how much he disliked being "taken over" by Rook so to speak, and how it made him go against his own ideals, but that never really happened which I feel made the metaphor of androids as a minority group fall pretty flat, and felt stranger given the context that Andy is black. Rant Incoming, my apologies it just kinda happened: Historically in the Alien franchise, androids have been used mostly as representative of the Weyland/-Yutani Corp and are meant to be the unempathetic voice of a company that only cares about the bottom line. But as the movies have gone on and androids given more depth, the ideas start to kind of fight each other. Is this essentially the same as a human being, free to make choices? Or are they all subject to programming that will end the life of a human at the drop of a coin if its for the "greater good?" It just feels strange and mishandled the further they play into it, but then drop the ball.
You can really tell they went above and beyond, the movie was outstanding and Flawless i also loved how they Introduced “Andy” I loved Covenant & Prometheus
The film is incredible. It takes the most transcendental elements of the entire Alien lore (leaving out, thank God, the AVP garbage) and takes it to a new level. It's really magnificent what Fede and his team managed to do.
love the refrences to Alien: Isolation too, awesome that the Director enjoyed it too, and I like that he wasn't afraid to use stuff from Prometheus... as much as people give it shit, it still had some neat ideas that would be a shame to waste
At 5:23...That scene with the xenomorph emerging from the wall cocoon was fantastic and brand new cause it's something we have never seen before....any of the other films after the chestburster emerges a crew member or whoever will find its molten skin somewhere and then the alien will be killing left right and center....so seeing it's birth as a full grown xenomorph was so fresh and class looking
I have watch this film twice and honestly the second time knowing all the film, I could appreciate even more than the first time the movie. What a great return for the saga!
This movie is so damn good, forget AVP and Prequels, Alien Romulus and the Trilogy stick with that. Finally a GOOD Alien movie once again. Practical and real. Talent at work.
Just seen the film. A great addition to the franchise, brimming with new ideas. I particularly enjoyed the return of Ash (even if he's called Rook) and the way different elements of the previous films are used to make a new synthesis. It allows for a great story. Oh, and I loved Cailee Spaeny!
First time ever seeing an alien movie and I enjoyed it very much. As a sci-fi fan the world building and visual quality was incredible, especially compared to something like the acolyte that had over twice the budget.
Visually it looked great, I'm so glad they weren't CGI Xenomorphs or anything. Everything looked solid, slick, well shot. I wish the gang could've gotten more character development because I genuinely found them interesting especially Navarro. Would've made their deaths more meaningful.
Finally Prac Eff . I love the movie but some parts not appealing or strong for me .. But it remains faithful to its franchise. Hope nxt itll be intense. I understand the timeline thats why its not putting any drastic changes
I am a die-hard Alien Fan! I have the entire Alien franchise on Blu-ray including Alien vs. Predator, Alien vs. Predator Requiem, as well as Predator I, and II... I can't wait to add Romulus to my collection!! ❤❤❤
Love the alien isolation vibes, even the telephone save points made it from the game to the film. I'm looking forward to the movie novelization to come out and add that to my catalogue of alien audio books, they are also awesome.
Tom Skeerit's trembling😱 voice in the first Alien...."It's alive"..Yes from an actors perspective practical effects always wins over CGI..Even over the gulf of 46 years🎉
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie - have seen all the films and recently rewatched 1, 2 and 3 (the extended cuts). I think Romulus is a bit too similar to the first one and somehow feels smaller than 2 and 3 (military/ research base/ prison). But overall I enjoyed it
I think that's what they were going for though. It's a new alien for a new audience, they wanted to give that first time viewing experience to a new generation. There are so many people who have never seen the original. They are gonna be as in love with this as we were with the og, it's a beautiful thing honestly.
It did look great. Definitely less artificial compared to other Alien movies. Now it just needs more in terms of story for the next one. The setting for the story was an interesting idea but maybe the movie needed to feel more dynamic so somehow they would have needed to transition to a 2nd 3rd 4th or 5th location. The space station was a good starter location but maybe they needed to get off that station. The main story needs something to give the movie more locations while featuring Aliens, Maybe a war or smuggling ship.
I just realized that Cailee Spaeny would be much better choice as Ellie instead of Bella Ramsey in the Last of Us. Cailee's reactions and play would fit better in the character. I can't feel Ellie as Bella plays.
The practical effects are so awesome, I wish more studios would go back to this approach. Loved the movie!
Practical fx are alive and well my friend. They never went away and are still going strong. Ask any makeup fx artist. We're always busy!
It’s cheaper nd faster to film something tht is not there .. can add or even fix a shot with fx but I do prefer pe

@@whiterabbit1632 if that is your opinion, it is fine. Not all the things have an unanimous decision.
This movie is so damn good, forget AVP and Prequels, Alien Romulus and the Trilogy stick with that.
Finally a GOOD Alien movie once again.
Practical and real.
Talent at work.
5:23 love this scene
2:07 Facehugger ASMR :)
This movie is on the right path of genre of Alien franchise and Cailee's role is almost the same as Sigourney Weaver's character in 1979s Alien
Just seen the film. A great addition to the franchise, brimming with new ideas. I particularly enjoyed the return of Ash (even if he's called Rook) and the way different elements of the previous films are used to make a new synthesis. It allows for a great story. Oh, and I loved Cailee Spaeny!
This Movie is a absolute Masterpiece!!!
Love the movie keep it up ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Cailee would be perfect for a The Last of Us show or movie!
i rly loved Andy the most when i watched the movie , all i cna say all did a great job as well ! great movie
just watching david talk makes me cry he is such a gentle being i was rooting for these siblings to survive the entire time
First time ever seeing an alien movie and I enjoyed it very much. As a sci-fi fan the world building and visual quality was incredible, especially compared to something like the acolyte that had over twice the budget.
Would love to see Fede´s 16mm shots he made while doing the film
Really interesting ❤not seen the moovie yet but i'm empressed
Visually it looked great, I'm so glad they weren't CGI Xenomorphs or anything. Everything looked solid, slick, well shot. I wish the gang could've gotten more character development because I genuinely found them interesting especially Navarro. Would've made their deaths more meaningful.
this movie was perfect.
Not perfect but definitely good
Saw this in imax, then watched all of the Alien films then saw this again. I feel crazy for saying it but this one is my favorite.
this movie will last generations because of the props.
Finally Prac Eff . I love the movie but some parts not appealing or strong for me .. But it remains faithful to its franchise. Hope nxt itll be intense.
I understand the timeline thats why its not putting any drastic changes
It's not too too scary but it's awesome🎉
BEST ALIEN MOVIE EVER!
Я посмотрел эту часть в кинотеатре,хорошо снят,захватывает с первых минут!Альварез не разочеровал!Свежая кровь!
I am a die-hard Alien Fan! I have the entire Alien franchise on Blu-ray including Alien vs. Predator, Alien vs. Predator Requiem, as well as Predator I, and II... I can't wait to add Romulus to my collection!!
❤❤❤
I didn't like the fact that they changed the design of the xenomorph like literally everything. The previous xenomorph from alien 1 2 3 4 was better!
WHAT A PECKER
Great cast and acting.This will go down as one of the top Alien series
@@maxchau6973 exactly. I will not be surprised if it grows on people and becomes a classic.
Amazing creation.
@@MindVortex7000pretty much. This film will be like predator 2 in the future.
Glad that Alien is back to the basics
This movie was CRAZYYY
I want a radio-controlled facehugger!!
Cailee Spaeny was the right choice for this, she's an amazing actress.
Love the alien isolation vibes, even the telephone save points made it from the game to the film. I'm looking forward to the movie novelization to come out and add that to my catalogue of alien audio books, they are also awesome.
this movie was so freaky awesome
Ong best movie of 2024
Lol
This was the best alien movie to come out
Tom Skeerit's trembling😱 voice in the first Alien...."It's alive"..Yes from an actors perspective practical effects always wins over CGI..Even over the gulf of 46 years🎉
good movie , one of the best of the year imo
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie - have seen all the films and recently rewatched 1, 2 and 3 (the extended cuts). I think Romulus is a bit too similar to the first one and somehow feels smaller than 2 and 3 (military/ research base/ prison). But overall I enjoyed it
I think that's what they were going for though. It's a new alien for a new audience, they wanted to give that first time viewing experience to a new generation. There are so many people who have never seen the original. They are gonna be as in love with this as we were with the og, it's a beautiful thing honestly.
Great documentary. A nice precursor to the movie's release on blu ray. I wonder if this will be included on the blu ray's bonus features.
No mention of the offspring. What a shame. He deserves a feature.
It did look great. Definitely less artificial compared to other Alien movies. Now it just needs more in terms of story for the next one. The setting for the story was an interesting idea but maybe the movie needed to feel more dynamic so somehow they would have needed to transition to a 2nd 3rd 4th or 5th location. The space station was a good starter location but maybe they needed to get off that station. The main story needs something to give the movie more locations while featuring Aliens, Maybe a war or smuggling ship.
I just realized that Cailee Spaeny would be much better choice as Ellie instead of Bella Ramsey in the Last of Us. Cailee's reactions and play would fit better in the character. I can't feel Ellie as Bella plays.
❤😊
I wonder if they'll ever show how they did the facehugger removal scene.
0:26 da fookin moah 😂
i dont think i understood a single word in that sentence
Holy shit the last arc was so disturbing .. i'm glad they went with practical effect, it really show the uncanny feelings of the aliens
I can’t wait to become a director. I want to make a film like the 80’s. Cheesy stop motion and toy models like Star Wars & puppets like Et
@4:06 Nailed it. Hope Hollywood is listening.
I love this movie. It resonates with me.
Movie is truly cinematic respite after long drought of genuine cinema
