Alien: Romulus NEW Trailer - Breakdown, Analysis & Hidden Details
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- The full "Alien: Romulus" trailer just came out and looks fantastic. It appears to be a blend of the tension from the first "Alien" movie, the action-packed intensity of "Aliens" and the horror of the "Alien: Isolation" game. So in this video, we'll break down the trailer and analyze all the hidden details and references.
Make sure to subscribe to the channel to not miss any updates, and consider contributing on Patreon if you want to help me make more videos like this one. And without further ado, let's get to the trailer.
In the first few seconds, a station is revealed in the distance, with the letters possibly reading "Acheron," the same terraforming base on LV-426 from the movie "Aliens." The movie takes place sometime between 2122 and 2179, making the presence of the Acheron station logical and fitting within the established timeline.
I always thought the blue mist was a kind of barrier that kept the eggs from activating when living beings were around it, made by the engineers to keep themselves safe while walking around them
That's smart
always saw it as a security system. It detected motion, as you can see when kane steps down. It gives away an eerie sound. My guess it was a motion detector for the space jockey so he knew if any egg would hatch.
I think as soon as you break through this blue barrier, the eggs are activated, hormonally or something.
Yes that’s what I always understood as well. Makes sense that since Andy is a synth, he would investigate it, since he isn’t biological maybe he wouldn’t set off the security system(?)
For me, I see it more as a motion sensor, some kind of alert system, perhaps alerting the Ships inhabitants of movement down in the cargo bay where the eggs were kept. I remember hearing and seeing the light accompanied by a very soft but discernible tone when the light was broken by the Nostromo crew.
Feels like Alien Isolation... and that is a good thing
Feels like everything that's come before that we've already seen...and that is a bad thing.
Yet 48 morons agree with her.
Alvarez said he was inspired by Isolation. He played it and felt compelled to turn it into a movie.
@@RingoLoadagainIt’s directed by the director of Evil Dead 2013.
Look. If I have a question about Aliens I go to my knee gah Kroft.
The xenomorph is molting. Looks like we get to see it's growth cycle.
Oh shit i was wondering what was happening. I saw fingers breaking out of a cocoon of sorts.
That's an excellent catch! Good thinking!
great point and that would be interesting
What you mean molting?
@@xyoungdipsetx Molting is when an animal sheds his skin. Snakes, scorpions, salamaders, etc.
I'm so disappointed in what I've seen so far. This movie doesn't look like it has a single unique or original idea so far. And to think, they abandoned Prometheus for this??
Exactly.... Prometheus was an awesome frighting movie. I loved it I don't know why people hate on it so much. Covenant is the worst alien movie ever I'm not gonna lie but Prometheus fantastic
@@reginoramos9030agree, Prometheus had a strong sense of mystery and discovery. Elizabeth Shaw was such a good character too. And then they destroyed it.
When Andy's eyes roll , there looks to be hands behind him and apparently when you zoom in on the white eyes , the weyland yutani logo shows
He’s probably being reset or given a special order
Wonder if he starts out helpful and then turns heel for Weyland Yutani
Let's keep in mind that anything associated with the Weyland company is always associated with a form of betrayal.
I want to See covenant 2,i want to See engineers fight david aliens,we need the Story to Go further.we Need ridley
They really spoiled a couple of characters deaths just for the trailer🤦♂️ I really wish movie trailers would stop doing that….
They only showed one death for sure
Well its not like we will be getting many survivors... so they are all pretty much going to die, the Trailer does confirm the Fate of one Character but you can't really have a ALIEN movie without a Chest Burster
With a Small Cast... it will be interesting to see how each death is Handled, i don't think we will see more than ONE Chest Burster
A guy who worked on it has a big break down of the trailer and he hints that that isn't the case and there is a more than what we see.
what is ther to spoil? do you really think some stupid kids would survive against the aliens? they are bound to die
Looks like they are playing it safe. I'm not sure at age 70 I need to see more of this.... But I was drawn into the "lore". I'd love to see a continuation exploring the Engineers and Synthetics' role in originating the Xenomorphs...
Jump scares with panicked, idiotic teenagers getting dismembered in space will have to wait... but I'll get around to it eventually.... unless there is a gigantic surge of support when it's released, like what happened with Godzilla Minus One.
Cha Ching... Just saying ... but worthy nonetheless.
audiences were to stupid to appreciate the engineers storyline possibilities, most people just want a monster and screams, why they cant make both type when there seems to be a dozen superhero movies a year I don't know.
I love how the girl at 2:34 has her hand up and the sun creates a shadow on her face that resembles the face hugger
Nice, I didn't think of that.
I dont want her being impregnated too :( but in alien franchise no one made it
Nice catch
I thought the same. Gotta love the foreshadowing in the new era of these movies!
The Colonist will not be leaving LV-426, this is a different Colony. Hadleys Hope is not around for another 15 Years
Never get tired of saying that is a total pleasure to see your analysis on alien universe!!! Hardcore fans are gonna love this movie!!! Welcome new audience. 👊
Lol. Hardcore fans are gonna skip this movie like the last one.
@@ameliaward7429 I'm not gonna argue with you. What to watch and what to like!!!
Do as you please ✌️
i though the next sequel would have been David at war with the engineers. very disappointing
I agree. I think the studio played it safe with an all-out action movie rather than going deep into Alien lore again. Too bad, I LOVED the David character again and would have loved to have seen what happened with him and the colonists. (even if a different actor played him)
The scene where you see the xenomorph emerging from something in the hive was it moulting its exoskeleton probably going from a drone to a warrior or warrior into something bigger.
I think that would be really cool.
I thought that was cool they’re showing molting in the movie when I saw that. You can see it’s hands holding its head as it comes out of the old exoskeleton
@@thefilmlodge i dont thing it will affect it becouse they are made out of that stuff
POTENTIAL SPOILERS there's a huge chance its melting into a queen xenomorph because you can see two little arms and as a different guy pointed out the queen has a extra pair of smaller forearms who knows maybe big chap turns into the queen from aliens
Indeed it certainly looks like the Clear Carapace is Melting away with the Xenomorph holding on to the Top of its Head.
Has it suffered a Injury to its Head?
Or indeed we could be seeing the Drone, Molting into a Warrior which would help draw some connective tissue to ALIENS, but i certainly don't see a Queen being in this Movie...... but who knows...
I certainly don't think that the Drone is the ONLY Xenomorph in this Movie
Good catch on the use of 80 degrees fahrenheit ... I think this is flawed though as there is no way everyone isn't metric in the future!
I am not curious about aliens ,i am curious about engineers
Facts
Nah, I just want a good alien movie before I die. Missed the first two. Saw resurrection in theaters when I was 9. Even at a young age, I felt like that movie was trash compared to the others. 3 seemed so much better as a kid than 4. I was so stoked for Prometheus, and like many was partially disappointed. Mostly with the stupidity of the characters/ odd ending. A lot of the religious undertones were so cheesy and pseudo intellectual, ancient aliens ridiculousness. Covenant isn’t even worth watching again after the trip to the theater. At least Prometheus has a bit of replay value. So forgive me when I say I couldn’t give two cents about the engineers or David or any stupid answer to the question of life seen through the lens of a horror movie…?
I hope we will never see and Engineers anymore. It should have stayed mystery. And I liked Prometheus & covenant, but it's bull shit, in Alien 1979 the spacejokey is about 3meters tall at least. The engineers looks 1m50 at best
@@s.tegosaurus
Absolutely agree with your views. Just want to enjoy the ride and have a Good Alien movie before I’m dead too. After waiting for so many years, still has not a Good enough Alien sequel or prequel to have that elusive satisfaction.. 😅
@@s.tegosaurus I think the problem is with Prometheus A lot of stuff was cut. You can look up some of the deleted dialogue where the engineers talk about how they sent a human boy to live among them and return to earth to teach humans the ways of paradise and we killed him a.k.a. Jesus, I don’t know if that helps the story flow for you better but I wish Prometheus would’ve answered more questions.
I too love the direction that Prometheus and Covenant were going. But I also think Romulus is going to be a great horror/thriller...hopefully it's also somewhat of a continuation of Covenant.
Im sure it will be a continuation
It will fail don't worry
Alien: Romulus is set to be released in theaters on August 16, 2024
thanks nigga❤❤❤
I thought it was in July 😭
My birthday too, it will be a good day
thanks nigga❤️❤️❤️
We know
no engineers no interest from me
I was hoping the next Alien film was going to be an engineers origin story. This just looks like Aliens with teenagers😒
Lololol the only good ones are 1 and 2 so this one will be a fresh breath of air compared to the convoluted story of the engineers 😂😂
@@lea-anne9133 And thats a bad thing?
The engineers were a dumb retcon of the more interesting space jockey anyway.
I want to see engineers and predator
This is the best trailer analysis I’ve seen. Great work mate
Hope we get a continuation to Covenant one day
Fede can make it as far as I’m concerned
@@Streetrocker28 its not about Fede or Ridley, is up to the script how good the movie will be
Same
Too bad no engineers
Not sure who asked for pretty much the same formula movie as all previous alien films
I hope this movie scores big in theatres so that they could further explore davids lore in a alien covenant sequel
This movie will probably get a 7.5 or 7.8 on IMDb
You think that's what their takeaway will be if this movie does well? They'll probably say "see? fans just wanted more of the same, not new stuff like prometheus"
@@RingoLoadagain maybe ridley can convince them if it does good who knows
Nope it will be woke and woke=trash and trash= well, you get i
@@WPC29 woke in space when an alien is trying to kill them?
The blue mist is like a spider web ..it informs the egg ..a host is near ..
I want more engineers
Yes, the whole back story around creation, gods and black goo was amazing.
Eh I don't... I'm glad they essentially retconned all that and is returning to form. Maybe if this movie does well, we'll get the "real Alien 3" that we were supposed to get with the "Chappie" director (dont remember his name sry), so we can continue having more sequels after that, as well...
Agreed
Amen to that. The Decon needs his spotlight
Unfortunately a lot of the backstory Kroft talked about turned out to be from a fan-made script. The black goo has nothing to do with 'the blood of the Deacon' for example.
I wanted more David lore.
This seems too much like Force Awakens for me.
“Ripley… we’re home..”
The part where the girl is trapped behind the door reminds me of Covenant. Also when she is crawling under the grate reminds me of Newt in Aliens.
I would love to see an alien movie go back to the intense action formula of the 2nd alien movie. I would like to see the full might of the military unleashed on the aliens. They could have militarized versions of synthetics going in and laying waste to nests.
At least Ridley Scott was trying to expand the Alien univers. This new teen movie won't do much except give folks nostalgia....
Already had low expectations because the directors previous movies, and I agree that this looks like just another dressed up monster chase horror movie, when I was hoping for more of a Prometheus/Covenant type of movie...
Don't Breathe is a good movie.
Big call dude. Off course it's subjective but he has made some bangers, especially his remake of Evil Dead. The first 3 Alien films are basically the same movie, and they are loved (sure some people have issues with the 3rd) but this has the feel of the same horror Alien film that is loved by the fan base.
Just give me the third David movie FFS. 😫
Never those movies sucked
@@relaxedmuffin3666 David, Engineers and Shaw are easily the most interesting things in the entire franchise.
@@consonaadversapars nah
@@consonaadversapars Have to agree - this next one just looks like utter "memba" berries bullshit mixed with the recent david story movies.
David 3 would've been better, it has as specific aesthetic and feel to it that I like as an addendum to the franchise.
David 3 😮 holy heck that's what i wanted. Please let this address the David story please God
I waited for this for so long
7 years
@@johnhanson1419 i was talking about Kroft rewiews on the trailer 😆
David won't be part of it.. it may have the black goo but remember , "Reverse engineer"
Don't they reverse engineer big chap to get the black goo?
That covenant cliffhanger had me wanting and waiting for the next movie this looks good but it doesn't have David in it 😢
Yeah NO David.... not in Physical sense at least 🙄
@@davebear9825 I doubt he will be in this movie in any form
@@J479fstknvds David is overrated, he's not the creator of anything he says he did, there was thousands of specimens from the derelict at LV-426 way before Prometheus. You can watch Alien, with an updated commentary about the crashed derelict being there for thousands of years.
@@SergeiKraven I just want a conclusion to the cliffhanger I never said he was the best character in the franchise?
@@J479fstknvds certainly not in any physical sense...🙄
New Kroft video, lets goooo
I'm not going to watch it tho because I don't want any spoilers
:((
I’m excited for this movie, but it really is a shame that they are abandoning the prequels without finishing the connection to the originals. It’s a real slap in the face to the fans.
Follow up Covenant please!!!
Thank you for this analysis. Your gifted at subtle detail discernment, I as well would hope to see the line of Covenant be pursued at some point. Perhaps is the Universal draw towards Source or God or our Creation that is of deepest interest. Focus on horror is of less intrigue than to understand how that comes to be in the first place. Cheers and Bravo.
Alien has lost its element of surprise and spook simply because people who had watched it regularly especially are already familiar with the nature of these aliens. You want to know what makes Alien/Aliens so cool in the first place? First, all the actors were matured people not a bunch of woky teenagers! Secondly, the concept was considered novel then. Also, Aliens in particular had so many memorable lines especially the exchanges between Paxton's Hudson and Al Matthews' Sgt Apone but also the dialogues in general were matured and cool especially Apone's esoteric phrases. But after a few reiterations of the same things over and over again it becomes dull and nothing special. Just watch it for the fun and adventure of it I guess.
The thing that just came to mind is how everyone keeps saying how Ai is going to take over humanity and all that stuff plus how robots going to start a war against humans like in the terminator or matrix. Here you have a time frame that’s not to far away from today’s world but we’re still super far away in technology of the alien movies, my point is you have a “Ai” or robot so fascinated in the alien life, their basically trying to kill the human race by converting humans into the alien species and how Ai is going to be our demise if we keep up with Ai development. A lot of these fictional movies and stuff that gotta deal with robots, aliens, and Ai seems like documentaries more than some fantasy movie someone came up with. 🤔 I’m saying mankind so interesting in finding other life forms and wanna live in other planets, that we’re heading right in that direction on how a lot of these fictional movies be.
But I’m thinking way too much into this. Forget everything I just said. 😅
Looks like another convoluted bomb. Maybe its time to give it back to Cameron.
They don’t live on Acheron
There's definitely a transformation happening at 4:11 or a different class of alien emerging. (fused/dual)
Where?
Im excited for any Alien franchise movie , but I would prefer that they followed the PROMETHEUS trajectory .
Soft reboot from our Hollywood clowns
“The movie centers around rebellious teenagers.”
Lord have mercy!!!!
This is good but id rather see davids story be finished. It was a amazing story
Unfortunately, many people did not think so. I certainly did, but the Haters seem to be in the majority or at least they seem most vocal about their dislike.
Give Ridley to shot his final Alien movie, my gosh
eh
A lot will depend on how this Movie does, it will Aim to bring back the Vibe of ALIEN while making some connective tissue to the Prequels and ALIEN Franchise as far as Xenomorphology/Biology.
If its complained about for the Xenos etc... and not touching on stuff from the Prequels much, then maybe Ridley could make another Movie.
If Fans complain about it not being like ALIENS and No Queen... and Disney see that as a major complaint then we could get a more Popcorn ALIENS Movie un future
Keep him far away from it cause the last 2 were shit.
Is it just me, or have we already seen this movie?
Horror is the easiest way to write a movie with no plot. Sucks for fans who actually enjoyed thinking during the last couple movies.
Bring back the engineers mannn!!!
I’m optimistic that we’ve finally got a good Alien movie
Kroft your the best man!!
Thanks for the insights🎉
Is Andy not rebooting hence the eyes?
Regarding the Mist... it appears that we have similar in this Movie and so it will be interesting to see how this came to be, as the logical conclusion for it in ALIEN would be to Prevent any Eggs from Opening etc, unless someone came within close Range/under the Beam etc. We had to assume it was a Engineer/Space Jockey Safety Device... but WHY we see similar in Alien Romulus in a area of the Space Station that appears to have undergone some Xenomorph Hive Tera forming is interesting.. but i think it would be odd that the Xeno Hive produces it
He said older models were a little twitchy but he was following orders, not working on his own so... eh maybe maybe not
Kroft the Elcor. Archivist of the Citadel.
maybe we'll be surprised at the end or so in the movie with a connection to the engineers. Just a tiny note.
I'd heard that the Xenomorph in Romulus is the Big Guy from the original film. Is that confirmed?
It seems we’re getting multiple xenos, big chap being one of them.
im not impressed,simply because its not doing anything new or imaginative,sure its just the first trailer,but usually you can tell what way its going to go...the cast are too young as well ,at least have someone over 40 in charge or something....
I don’t believe they’ve confirmed, or even implied, that the planetoid they’re on at the beginning of the film is LV-426(Acheron). It could very well just be another “shake n’ bake” colony in the process of being terraformed. The way that Van Leuwen spoke to Ripley about it implied that it’s something the company had been doing for a while, on more than a few worlds, by the events of Aliens.
Yeah having the World they are leaving to be LV-426 is too much of a Convenience....to then have the Space Station (Orbiting Calpamos) so close to the Colony... but we can't rule out that the Station is Orbiting that Planet
i'm still obsessed with prometheus, the engineers and all that story.
im still waiting for alien awakening.
cant get it out of my head.
i hate this.
From some of the shots, I believe we might get to see the process of a drone malting into a queen
I think the one emerging from the hive wall in perhaps a queen is malting
I checked all these alien fan channels and not one of you people have said anything negative about Romulus.
After all the fails in this franchise suddenly a new movie is "Fantastic" and "A perfect blend between Alien 1 and Aliens and Isolation".
Same talking points in every channel, almost like you people are being coordinated - Not fishy at all, no...
Keeping my expectations super, super low as the trailer did nothing for me. The casting for this movie does nothing for me and I can't care less about the 'scary' scenes.
I love the trailer, Funny on the trailer top comment says about how their hs students. Well u don’t want old ppl for a colony. Their supposed to populate smh
I hope somehow David caused the infestation somehow. Maybe he hid a ovamorph or something in the cargo like a sneaky snitch. I ain’t gonna suffer through bad movies with good lore and just not want to hear about David and what he did on the colony ship. Even one name drop would get me hyped.
Romulus!!! Whooooooooooo!!!!!
Are you saying FER SURE that because of the direction the Studio went in making this movie of "Alien: Romulus" that We As Fans, the Fans who spent OUR Hard earned Money to go see ALL the previous movies will "DEFINITELY NOT" GET A 3RD MOVIE TO FINISH OUT THE "DAVID" TRILOGY IN THE ALIENS STORYLINE?!?!!!! I am INCREDIBLY Sorry for the outburst! I think Fede Alvarez's "Alien: Romulus" looks Amazingly Fantastic and I can't wait to see it! But I Really would Absolutely LOVE to see what happened to"David" and what happened with HIS Story after that pulse racing ending of "Alien: Covenant"! AMEN!!!
Another stupid bloody mess, I would rather learn about the backstory and how engineer are involved in Overall timeline
I've heard Andy the synthetic was receiving an update that's why his eyes were rolling & if you look closely you can see the Weyland-Yutani logo on his eyes
Like any update, great timing when you are in the middle of an hive.
I heard that as well. Hopefully Andy is a good guy and not a menace like David or the other guy that I've heard is in this. (Avoiding saying the name as it's a big spoiler.)
@barryjames73 Yeah let's hope Weyland-Yutani didn't send him any updates that might make him more like you know who with the same directives 😳
I want engineer vs predator lol
I’m hoping this movie does well and justifies spending the money to finish the Prometheus story
The Alien, my beloved. I hope there are no surviving humans. :)
This movie already looks like total garbage - I‘m so disappointed.
Your analysis and details are always good. This new movie will disappoint many for not bringing out the detailed background and try to go off to a less revealing one. I'll definitely not watch it in cinemas to waste money.
the direction that Prometheus and Covenant took is one of the worst ideas ever by Ridley Scott. I truly hope this one is different and Ridley does not touch the franchise anymore. David morphing the Alien. That's so stupid and lame. The queen/hive idea is so much better
LONG SHOT BUT: ORIGAE 6?!?
Could the planet they’re terraforming, atmospheric processing and then leaving at the beginning of the trailer for the Renaissance Station be: ORIGAE 6?
I don’t want anymore trailers I’m already gonna go and this trailer was amazing. I don’t want anymore spoiled. We potentially know the characters outcome but for sure 1 and prolly 2. One girl might be hurt but I bet it’s a chest
Love your content! I hope this movie succeeds and encourages them to make alien awakening!
Anyone else notice in the near last shot that someone is floating through space and basically there is alien blood all strung out in space that they are about to float into
Nightmare.
Yea I think it's the girl with longer curly hair about to float into her death by the alien acid green blood
Love seeing and hearing your perspectives on these films! 😊
Theres something in the fuckin WhOT´Ah🤣
im not gonna watch the trailer and so xP but im super hyped to come back here when its out and iv'e seen the movie :D
The girl at the end is NOT Rain. She looks like Isabela Kay in the movie.
i feel like david will be revealed to be the original xenomorph from the first movie…
They need to bring david back and a full movie just on the engineers
Didn’t know the trailer dropped but I knew after seeing the Romulus leaks like a year ago it wasn’t going to be like Prometheus
Great analysis...
I new Alien pase. Maybe an eggmorph. I really enjoyed this video. See you soon Kroft
Ill be glad when we get some engineers vs predators
This movie looks so good. I would like to see Ridley Scott continuing his prequel exploration though. I know people disliked it but I love how different it is from the original saga. I think they should divide the story lines and stop trying to please all the fan base. Some horror/action movies following the originals and the background story trying to understand the lore and the origin of the aliens and engineers
Me too. I only care about what Ridley wants to explore. Same thing with Star Wars and george lucas.
Irony? Karmic payback? Those scenes from Aliens indicates that WY "researchers" in Aliens too were also turned into xenomorph breeding bags🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
im afraid it will end up as space teen drama with aliens. all cast is literally teen looking actors, wtf.
Yeah there is a reason
Agreed, Alien turns into Twilight 😢. Let's face it, Big Hollywood is all about propaganda.
I agree, if it was some combo of older + younger chars, I would have zero problems with that, but it looks like whole fleet is made of 20 yo kids
@@ItsRinzler7 yes it is. And there is a reason for it. Just said.
@@prpwnage9296 what's the reason
Humans can still be molded into eggs if queen is not around imo.
We want them to dive into the lore, don't we? I do. I'm going to be disappointed if we don't get something more on the Engineers.
If the Xenomorphs are different, could mean sequel to Alien Covenant?
Supposed to be a new type of xeno in the movie that's what we're seeing
Scooby-Doo in Space
Yes, another soft reboot from the Hollywood clowns
Preach it
In regards to Andy the synthetic. Apparently he tries to reboot himself because Weyland Utani programmed him to save the Xenomorph hence the crew are expendable. Someone reported on it after some extended screening. Apparently.
