    This VHS promo video for Alien Romulus is maybe the best piece of marketing I have seen for any film release in recent years. It really boosts my confidence for the movie knowing that the director (Fede Alvarez) cares so much, even right down to the small details. God I hope this film nails it!

      @@ENTERTAINtheDUDE I heard Fede is an alien AI bot, sent to back in time to earth to bring peace to humanity by giving us the best alien film since James Cameron's Aliens. Im so close to seeing this in the imax and i cannot belive it. By this clip only, i feel so positive and i have a feeling i will start calling him his true name: Fede "the fu*king legend" Alvarez. Im pretty sure he is as much as a fan of alien and aliens as you and me and will bring order to reality and for us fans and just give us the best movie since my dad went and saw terminator 2 and brough me home a signed poster and braged about it! Goddammit, that's *not* all! but.... I hate to hype myself to much, but damn!! Alvarez! Alvarez! Alvarez!!

    It's hard for me to hide my excitement at this point. I couldn't have asked for better visuals, sound, and atmosphere. Whoever edited the trailer is also a genius. The acting seems good, and we already know what the main story is, but I hope we're in for some surprises too. Now the last thing that remains to be seen is the character development. Will they make us care?

    I'm surprised nobody has de-interlaced this footage, upscaled it to 1440x1080 at 60fps and uploaded it - just for the hell of it. The clickity-clack ratchet sound of the seat gives me nostalgic yeebie-jeebies. Whoever cracked the whip on this at Disney must've gone up to the Me-Too Lesbians on the Board (yes, they have them) and went full Jack Nicholson SHINING: I HAVE LET YOU FUCK UP MY LIFE SO FAR BUT I AM NOT GONNA LET YOU FUCK THIS UP. It is everything the STAR WARS/INDIANA JONES reboots were not. Can't wait to see those tapes turn up on eBay for a hundred grand right next to that 1998 McDonald's Mulan Szechuan Sauce for McNuggets (all hail Rick & Morty). I grew up in the country and we had to ride bikes to a country gas station to rent those old tapes, it also had PHOENIX, GALAGA, POLE POSITION, and PLEIADES arcade cabinets in a little room - it was like civilization to us. They never bothered to check for age and thus at 15 were able to watch the Rated-R THE TERMINATOR.
    I love the drama of the drop ship takeoffs and landings. For anyone thinking the real deal is a picnic, I submit to you this footage from inside the empty ARTEMIS moon capsule during re-entry testing last year. If no one told you what it was like and you were onboard, you would think were about to die. The popping sound is the valves opening and closing for the attitude jets... which you would hear were you, say, matching the roll vector of a space station (I wonder if Fede will tip to the hat to Kubrick w/ "2001" music just as Cameron did in ALIENS?). If it looks like she reentered the atmosphere and skipped back out then came in again, it's because that's exactly what she did:

    Not gonna lie, I was super skeptical about this film at first. The confirmation that the Big Chap does in fact make some sort of appearance just seemed like a cheap and lazy way to connect the films. And if the Big Chap did in fact survive and is the cause of more death and terror, then everything Ripley endured and suffered through was all for nothing! Still not 100% sure how I feel about that but further plot leaks and all the excellent marketing up to this point has helped me change my mind a bit and I am now actually getting excited for this film. Cinematography and practical effects look FANTASTIC. Additional leaks and footage indicate that it will in fact be a different Xenomorph that terrorizes the crew so that's very reassuring. We'll evidently get to see an expansion of lore by witnessing more of the Alien's life-cycle. And Alvarez's assertion that this will be a back-to-basics straight-up horror film is a welcome relief from Ridley Scott's ridiculous bullshit attempt as more deep underlying philosophical themes. It's a freaking monster movie, man. Monsters stalk and kill people because that's what monsters in horror films do. As usual, a movie like this will come down to characters and story but I am much more hopeful now than I was a few months ago. The marketing has been absolutely brilliant so let's hope that's not the best thing about this film!

    It looks promising. But we'll never know if the movie will be a hit until we hear the dialogue and how they act upon things, pacing and if the alien can appear frightening. I'm not hoping for a reinventing the wheel-movie, just something that stay true to the atmosphere and seriousness of the first 2 movies. The replay value is very much about not getting annoyed at things in the movie from pretty much the first minute, as we can experience over and over again watching garbage Prometheus and trash bin Covenant.

      My thoughts exactly. It's a nice promo, but when you think of the high quality medium available now, this promo on VHS at its best would still have worked. I'm probably in the minority here, but I think Aliens really lost something with all the constant releases just to improve the quality, there was just something special about that grainy look.
