@@TheRealSkeletor do you need a new prescription of glasses? I explicitly wrote "if roman numerals worked like that" just in case someone persnickety like you tried to pointlessly argue about the practical realism of a fricking 2-cent joke.
Can't believe it's been 10 years already. Romulus was clearly inspired by Isolation, and I'm glad the success of this movie has finally convinced Sega to greenlight a sequel.
When I saw "Ash" in the shadows first I nudged my brother and was like: "So well done. You can totally see it's him, but they didn't do the aweful CGI like in other movies." 5 minutes later: "WHY!?"
I think they messed up and locked the deepfake onto the incorrect spot on his face, its like the deepfake is locked on the movement of his lower jaw, when it should be locked on his face instead, so it doesn't wobble up and down when he speaks, which makes it extra uncanny. I was also really surprised how its so well done, and at the same time, poorly executed. Its like it's all there, but the positioning and movement locking is screwed up.
Would have been so easy for them to just make an animatronic that looks like Ash. And its robotic movements would have looked convincing since it would have been an actual robot.
Honestly, I am fine with the additions to lore stuff regarding Prometheus, but the only real thing that is hard for me to swallow is the Nostromo having ANY debris left after the explosion it let out, much less bits that still denote the name of it and Ian Holm's Ash being part of a line of similarly designed robots that seemed to let out absolutely no suspicions to the crew, if that was the case. Though, the latter could make sense with a lot of streching...
Outside of the initial explosion, energy from the explosion would dissipate quickly in a vacuum. The alien having somehow evolved to create a cocoon around itself seemed like a bigger stretch.
There's different directions they could have gone to fill in the gap between the first & second movies but this remix just didn't work for me either. A movie about the doomed colony in Aliens would have been fun & fit in with the established lore & they still could've had survivors that the company just didn't know about. Of course, then they wouldn't have any reason to include a dead actor or the humanomorph hybrid.
That made no sense. Also Weyland had no knowledge of what happened to The Nostromo but there was a station belonging to them that knew exactly what happened including how Ripley defeated the Alien. For Prometheus and Covenant ruined the mystery of the Xenomorph.
Why would the crew of the research station be suspicious of the Ian Holm line of robots? He followed company orders to the letter in the original Alien movie. Even if they disagree with his methods they've probably only been appraised of the alien's biology and not certain specifics about what happened on the Nostromo.
7:12 I hadn't noticed they show the skull of the xenomorph, with eyes sockets, quite human-like. That's how Giger designed it. In Covenant they showed their POV, showing they work on "regular" vision like most animals.
If I remember correctly the original Alien costume had the human like skull in it, but it often fogged up so you could barely see it in only a few fleeting moments in the movie.
Everyone compares it to past Alien movies, but when I saw it I mostly saw similarities to the director's earlier "Don't Breathe": both are about a group of young people who are breaking in somewhere to steal from it, are stealing to get away from a terrible current life and end up locked inside with a villain who is blind and finds them by sound. It also had a side of pregnancy horror, which Alien Romulus really dialed up a few notches
The dude who played Andy did a great job! Loved the sibling relationship between him and Raine. Also Kay deserved way better! Seriously that Offspring thing was pure fucking nightmare fuel!
@@JohnGardnerAlhadis Bjorn was basically the human foil to Rook. Both of them against the alien......but totally screwing it up for opposite reasons. Rook had too little humanity, Bjorn had a ton of very human flaws.

There's any number of different choices they could've made there that wouldn't be so violating and tasteless.

This film was awesome and a great return to formula for the alien franchise to being actually terrifying, there are a few jump scares but they earn every single one. I also appreciated that they give proper respect and time to the face huggers, instead of just relying on the xenomore.
Yeah, but the negative side to that apart the pistons having a clean shot to the finals, the season wouldn't be fun anymore because teams start forfeiting because they are scared to play around in the court with a xeno human hybrid whatever the name hoping they dont get their heads mauled off.
My big question after watching this: how in the hell did it take over 40 years for someone to think of giving the xenos a cocoon phase? It just makes so much sense. Edit: To clarify, I mean a cocoon in between the chestburster and full-sized xeno phases.
The Cocoon is more like a suspended state instead of a phase, Rook said that the cocoon was formed once the xenomorph did not have any air, food or water.

Seriously… the face huggers were terrifying. They just woke up from cryosleep and they’re already fast and strong enough to attack like that.. we’re used to seeing them creep around like ambush predators so it’s terrifying seeing them all out sprint after prey when there’s competition. It makes sense, whenever they’re alone they take their time to carefully attack their prey, but when there’s a bunch of them they just sprint and leap wildly trying to be the first to lay their egg. I know some people complained they seemed dumb but they did set up that cryosleep makes you lethargic and sick for a day or so like a “bad hangover” so that’s why most of them survived the first encounters. If those were fully awake and healthy, those people would have been walking eggsacs. I also liked how this movie showed us the middle stage between larval and “adult” drone, and although it seemed fast the Xenomorph reproduction cycle has always been shown to adapt to the situation. If the host is calm and the situation is safe, they take their time to pupate and burst out with strength. In Romulus the alien was clearly premature, it took several tries to burst through her chest and then it was exhausted and just sat there in her chest cavity recovering for a while before it scampered off to make it’s chrysalis. So we see that they really are the perfect organism because they can adapt to nearly any situation, survive premature birth, attacks in its chrysalis stage, the vacuum of space… etc. in my opinion this movie made the aliens genuinely terrifying again because it showed how unstoppable they are, how adaptable they are, and how quickly it can get out of control if they land on a planet. They also create abominations that give us nightmares… ew.
Am I the only one who thought this movie ruled? The practical effects, the tight pacing, the great performances, the visceral production design, and the cinematography were all top notch.
I've never actually watched an Aliens movie before, but I found this fine. Great effects and the characters actually didn't make me hate them before they died.
@@Montesama314 I strongly recommend you watch the first two. They still hold up extremely well. Was from a different time in cinema though so the movies take a bit more time to cook at the start to get to know the crew but it pays off well.
For rook, all they had to do was damage his face more and use animatronics. They had the perfect excuse already, his body was mangled and fans would’ve loved a classic talking rubber head puppet! The deepfake was the only thing that took me out of the movie and I’m 99% sure it was a producer decision because it looks/feels very last minute. Everything else was absolutely perfect quality, gorgeous CGI/practical blended seamlessly and you can tell they made a real rook puppet… but some asshole in a suit demanded that it look more like Ian Holm and look “less fake” or something and ruined it. Just like the Thing sequel where they covered all of the beautiful practical effects with bad CG.
Thank you so much. This was pretty much exactly how I felt about the movie. They took every previous movie's ideas and threw them all together to make this thing. Absolutely nothing new. On top of that, they went out of their way to try and create a new Ripley- probably the most heinous thing they could have done. Maybe if they had avoided making her into that bland wireframe Marine that's just there in every video game that's come out lately...
Another great trailer. And yeah this movie didn't break much in terms of new ground, but it was a lot of fun, well made, had great performances, I'd be up for another Alvarez Alien film.
If this movie had at least one reference to Alien: Isolation and 3 less obvious callbacks to the original trilogy than this would’ve been a great movie
The fact that this movie is coming out on VHS shows that physical media's charm endures and will forever endure.. My only wish is to see Ridley Scott and James Cameron make one more Alien movie each.. difficult reality but anything is possible.
Sadly, most of the copies sold will be to people who want to say, "I've got that on VHS," just to see the weird looks they get, since they haven't owned a player since the 90s.

So we see that they really are the perfect organism because they can adapt to nearly any situation, survive premature birth, attacks in its chrysalis stage, the vacuum of space… etc. in my opinion this movie made the aliens genuinely terrifying again because it showed how unstoppable they are, how adaptable they are, and how quickly it can get out of control if they land on a planet.
They also create abominations that give us nightmares… ew.
Am I the only one who thought this movie ruled? The practical effects, the tight pacing, the great performances, the visceral production design, and the cinematography were all top notch.
It’s the best Alien movie since the first two
The phrase 'low bar to clear' comes to mind, but I do agree with you. A surprisingly solid movie.😊@@j.a.weishaupt1748
I've never actually watched an Aliens movie before, but I found this fine. Great effects and the characters actually didn't make me hate them before they died.
@@Montesama314 I strongly recommend you watch the first two. They still hold up extremely well. Was from a different time in cinema though so the movies take a bit more time to cook at the start to get to know the crew but it pays off well.
i really lked it
Missed joke with "Lethal company" throwback
For rook, all they had to do was damage his face more and use animatronics. They had the perfect excuse already, his body was mangled and fans would’ve loved a classic talking rubber head puppet!
The deepfake was the only thing that took me out of the movie and I’m 99% sure it was a producer decision because it looks/feels very last minute. Everything else was absolutely perfect quality, gorgeous CGI/practical blended seamlessly and you can tell they made a real rook puppet… but some asshole in a suit demanded that it look more like Ian Holm and look “less fake” or something and ruined it. Just like the Thing sequel where they covered all of the beautiful practical effects with bad CG.
Make an Honest Trailer for Transformers One
No.
Yes!
Maybe
They probably will, but they need to wait for it to come out on streaming at least
They probably will when it hits streaming; the voice of Honest Trailers also voiced Soundwave in that film.
Good film watched 3 times and already prepaid for the 4k disc.
Please do the Night at the Museum films soon!
So many good jokes on this one to choose one. 🤣
Ok, damn doors!
"Alien i i i i i i i" i mean romulus 😂😂😂😂😂
Brobot. Well played Screen Junkies. Well played.
5:55 ah I get it, we’re the punchline
“Alien: Unopened Doors” was awesome!
Irony at 3:28 from the channel known for mocking typos in comments. No one does "speak legibly" because "legible" means "readable." 😂
Cool, still waiting for a trailer for "The Substance" though😂
Thank you so much. This was pretty much exactly how I felt about the movie. They took every previous movie's ideas and threw them all together to make this thing. Absolutely nothing new. On top of that, they went out of their way to try and create a new Ripley- probably the most heinous thing they could have done. Maybe if they had avoided making her into that bland wireframe Marine that's just there in every video game that's come out lately...
Another great trailer. And yeah this movie didn't break much in terms of new ground, but it was a lot of fun, well made, had great performances, I'd be up for another Alvarez Alien film.
Okay, that line "light fingering" that just sounded weird... 🤣
Call back to Alien Covenant.
"I'll do the fingering."
Well, that was the point.
Loved the Michael Rapaport burn.
"Alien I I I I I I I, I mean, Romulus"
I swear, the stupidest jokes get me the most 😂
If this movie had at least one reference to Alien: Isolation and 3 less obvious callbacks to the original trilogy than this would’ve been a great movie
Time for the most anticipated musical of the year, Joker 2.
That 'you wot mate?!' was so unexpected 😂😂
Thank you for doing this one! I had zero interest in seeing it, and now I have less than zero interest! And I got a lotta laughs finding out!
It's actually pretty good. Easily the third best in the Alien franchise.
You're not missing anything. Movie is rancid tramp balls.
After first time seeing this- It might be the second best movie in franchise history after Aliens.
The fact that this movie is coming out on VHS shows that physical media's charm endures and will forever endure..
My only wish is to see Ridley Scott and James Cameron make one more Alien movie each.. difficult reality but anything is possible.
Sadly, most of the copies sold will be to people who want to say, "I've got that on VHS," just to see the weird looks they get, since they haven't owned a player since the 90s.
"Got it on VHS. Got the soundtrack on 8-track. Got the script on a cuneiform tablet."
I liked it. Don't understand why people bashed it. It was good.
