The real problem is that the company don't want a concrete lore to the alien franchise. Just keep making stuff up and not beholden to a clear vision of the alien mythology
Bro Alien Romulus is a Fantastic Movie compared to the rest of this unoriginal trash they keep putting out! Also seeing it on the big screen in complete darkness gave it an entirely different experience than watching it in my living room.
I agree with Uncle T this wasn’t an interesting story to justify making into a film. There was nothing new with too much fans service to previous films. Alien Romulus was more a corporate branded product design to make money on nostalgia. It’s wasn’t a creative works which added to the legacy of the alien storyline. I think alien Romulus missed opportunity killing off the Big Chap alien recovered in space. The film should have been about him not these space teenagers. Ps I know why people don’t like alien 3 but as stand alone film it’s pretty good despite the flaws.
I've watched Alien 👽 Romulus probably a dozen times now and it's still entertaining 🎉 Nothing will ever compare to the original Alien and Aliens movies, but this was a fun semi-soft reboot of the franchise that introduced at least two new characters that I found to be interesting. Andy is my favorite new android and the Scorched Alien 😂😅
I LOVE ALL THE MOVIES... I REALLY ENJOYED THIS MOVIE - NOTHING DEEP - JUST GREAT ALIEN KILLING AND SUSPENCE... NOTHING WILL EVER BE GREATER THAN THE FIRST 2 MOVIES - IT WAS NEW AND ORIGINAL... YOU WILL ALWAYS BE CHASING THE FIRST 2 MOVIES IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN !!!!
I've been burned TOO many times by BAD Aliens follow-ups, that i didn't even bother with this one. Just like Terminator, only the first two movies in the series are worth a crap.
I liked it. It’s the best movie in the franchise in a while. (I didn’t say best movie in the franchise’s, I said best movie in a while meaning all the alien movie since James Cameron).
The movie was just a reminder there are two better Alien movies (the first two). Fan service at its worst. I had high hopes for this one but should have known better.
Alien Resurrection was actually pretty good. Many fans hate it I don't. Alien 3 was well a mess thanks to the damn studio. After Prometheus I stop caring about the Aliens franchise completely. Is been milked at this point. No point to watch this new Alien films.
@ Scott produced it and his production company. He’s the one pushing to get all these movies made and making all the money on the back end. The director is just hired for the job and moves on. Scott has been in charge of the franchise for decades.
It was fun. Prometheus and covenant were considered failures. Ridley has said he felt the aliens story was done, and wanted to explore AI. Which is why david is so pivotal in both movies. The black goo, is as bad as jedi midichlorians, no one needed or want the explanation. The goo and man baby, were the required nod to Ridley. I didnt like those parts, but its the only time i really enjoyed an alien movie since 2. So it did alot for the franchise by not being a convoluted mess, having regularish aliens, and good action. Its the first commercial success for the franchise in a long line of disappointments and mediocrity (im looking at you avp 2)
If ridley would have kept one engineer alive on covenant, it would have made a very interesting movie. The audience would have had a character to learn something about the engineer civilization, but ridley got goo on the brain

I watched it not expecting anything and enjoyed it & the throwback nods to the original.
Better than Alien 3!
Couldn't disagree with you more Unc
Ok, cool what you like most about this movie

It was entertaining. I expected nothing, and got something entertaining...for what it was.
Great review Uncle Tim! Will you be doing more of these?
Yes, soon

It did suck n I'm a aliens fan I hated that bs thing they made at the end, it looked stupid
Agreed 👍💯😊
I agree it was underwhelming but I love what the director did with the 2013 evil dead remake. If you haven't you need to see that movie it's good.
Finnaly something to watch and eat
The Neca Romulus Alien is bad ass though
The movie was just a reminder there are two better Alien movies (the first two). Fan service at its worst. I had high hopes for this one but should have known better.
I thought it was a fun watch
It made money, so that's good for future movies.
The sets and practical effects were cool but yea. Kinda lame. And that hybrid at the end just looked stupid

Ridley Scott needs to retire. He’s milking this franchise to nothing.
Being over the hill is not just a physical thing also. The man's mind and good judgement are also behind him.
Fede alverz made this. Not ridley Scott.
@ Scott produced it and his production company. He’s the one pushing to get all these movies made and making all the money on the back end. The director is just hired for the job and moves on. Scott has been in charge of the franchise for decades.
...and yet you remember every major detail. 😂 It was entertaining, not some work of art film... entertaining.
No, unk there was alot going on in romulus. Unc jes breezed through it.
It sucked

100% agree!

The movie sucked.
Romulus is my least favorite Alien movie
