I will never be right after seeing the last 20 minutes of this movie. Thanks for watching and give this video some love (like and comment) if you want me to check out the rest of the Alien movies! Much love as always and I hope you enjoy the video! - Cole
Definitely would recommend checking them out though go in with lowered expectations, quality wise they’re kind of all over the place and not nearly as good as 1, 2 and Romulus
you're the first reactor i've watched so far who appreciated the scream from that actress during the chestburster scene. it's one of the best scenes in the movie. she should be in more horror movies
The fact that there are several beats of silent shock then the primal scream of fear and horror, it just dialed it up to 11. It's easily one of the best screams I've heard in a movie. ❤
You know what's brilliant about the offspring? Aside from being nearly entirely practical effects, it's behavior mimics both that of the sadistic xenomorphs but also that of an innocent toddler that doesn't understand the effects it's actions have. It's impossible to know whether it's being malicious or if it just doesn't understand it's strength and throws tantrums when rejected/threatened.
@@NigelShepherd-z7k cannot imagine the horror of that thing crawling towards you to get some milk with that weird mouth worm lol. Thanks for the love and enjoying my idiocy as always 😂
Totally worthy of being a sequel set between Alien and Aliens. If you thought the Human/Xenomorph hybrid in this one was bad, wait til you see Alien: Resurrection.
@@MJRegulYou are just nostalgia blind. Resurrection one was like a muppet 😂😂😂 this one was creepy. I saw it three times on theatre and people gasped one that thing appeared
@@aidanclarke6106 its the nostalgia talking... the romulus one was good, looked a lot like an engineer. The Resurrection was a f up muppet, the concepts were waaay better than the final thing
@@aidanclarke6106You are entitled to your wrong opinion lol But seriously like what you like, I just can’t stand Resurrections. I think it ruined the solid ending we got in 3.
@@TheDorkSideTVWhen the music went silent and they showed the grown babymorph, the guy next to me shouted "oh my god, what the HELL" 😂 the whole theater nervously laughed because we agreed lol like wtf is THAT, can't wait to have nightmares
This was a great movie because they did not try to make it more than it needed to be. They also got the SFX artists from “Aliens” to work on the movie. Hence, why everything looked AMAZING. Watch the Alien 3 Assembly Cut-it’s the only version that matters.
And these aliens were practical - at least the up-close and personal classic aliens (facehuggers, chestburster, solo XX-121). I think the new one might have been CGI (or mostly), since I can't find the name of an actor.
I’ve been very obsessed with the musical score of this movie ever since I found out who was gonna be scoring it. Benjamin Wallfisch killed it here! Not only did he paid homage to the previous films, he did so in a really respectful and meaningful way. He also didn’t over-rely heavy on them either and still was able to put his own unique spin on the music. Particularly with his electronics and orchestral writing. The choirs was creepy as fuck too! The music was basically IT, The Invisible Man and The Flash with moments of Alien mixed in.
I loved how Fede Alvarez blended horror and sci-fi in this. I hope the success of this will lead to another Prometheus/Covenant movie, and with the success of Prey and a sequel to that on the way, I wouldn't say no to another AvP movie further down the line.
David Jonsson was so fantastic as Andy , the VFX are amazing and the Offspring`s design is awesome. I would rank this movie in my top three for the Alien franchise and in my top four for Best Movies of 2024.
The Offspring also kind of pissed me off when it was smiling at Rain, like it was a Saturday morning cartoon villain waiting to tell off their victory monologue or some shit. The AUDACITY! LOL.
Kay isn't dumb, she just wasn't with the rest of them for all the explanations, so she has no idea what's going on and must trust what little information is on hand. Also, I'm sure she's got nothing but pain and adrenaline in her system. Poor girl 😢
@@Felix-misc I do feel so bad for Kay. She was sweet to everyone and was just trying to give her baby a better life. I just wish she wouldn’t have put that black goo in her neck cause she did at least hear Rain talk about putting her in cryo freeze instead of the injection. But I’m sure she was in extreme pain and just trying to survive.
@@TheDorkSideTV It's possible Kay misunderstood what Rain said. Rain told her 'take this and get into a cyropod' Rain meant take it with you but she may have thought she meant to take a dose. She heard Andy mention it might help her and wasn't around to hear what it was or why that might be a bad idea.
Not only they show we can care about anyone, but Ripley (which I still think Hicks and Bishop we cared after 2, but we know what happens), they gave Rain and Andy(i).
@@Tyler-i9k dang!! No wonder he was massive lol. I gotta see some behind the scenes of that because seeing a giant monster on set like that would still be freaky 😂
Another great reaction. Now, when we get our first look at the Alien/Human Hybrid crouching on the floor, I was horrified. I'd probably died instantly just from seeing it. And yes, Tyler did not deserve his death. I hated to see him go. Would have liked seeing a trio escape this film to be in the next sequel.
This was such a great movie to see in theaters, whole theater dropped quiet when the abomination showed up. If you like the Aloen franchise, I'd recommend Prometheus and Alien ³, even though these movoes are not God-Tier like the first 2 and Rommulus, I still believe they have a lot of good content, Prometheus specially as it sets up some elements we saw here in Rommulus
@@fakenuke7487 I’m definitely interested in the prequels! The world is interesting enough that I want to see more. But I did miss Ripley in this one (still loved it though)
Haven't watched the vid yet but the title and thumbnail are golden! It was a decent movie. Great to watch in Imax in the theaters. Can't wait to see your reaction!
@@jenniferarmstrong7722 this is one of my favorite thumbnails on the channel so that just made my night that you like it too! You’re amazing Jennifer!!
@@dannyjorde2677 I’ve got an issue with my right ear that doesn’t allow me to use any headphones for long durations (like movie runtimes). So it is how I have to do it, not by choice 🙏 or else it would always be in horrible pain after a movie viewing. Trust me, I wish I could!
@@TheDorkSideTV How about something like "Shokz OpenRun Pro", can you use those kind? I personally use these a lot in combination with both in-ears and over-ears. None of them are perfect, each type has their advantages, but the combining makes so I can use them for longer periods (helps with my tinnitus).
If you plan on watching more of the series then definitely watch the assembly cut of Alien 3, there's a few minor differences from the theatrical cut but it adds in a lot of relevant scenes. Alien: Resurrection has a strange tone and isn't as scary as the others but can still be a fun watch. The two prequels: Prometheus and Covenant both have some very strong points but also some very weak points. And if you feel like watching the crossover movies with Predator then the first is good but the second is a trash fire. Watching the other movies will actually make watching this one better as there's a lot of references and plot elements you won't understand without seeing them.
If you want to see really stupid characters and stupid decisions, watch Alien Covenant and Prometheus. The guys are practically geniuses compared to the team of Covenant and Prometheus.😂
So this is actually my first time watching Romulus, and after hearing nothing but great things about it I have to say the movie was pretty disappointing. The reuse of dialogue from previous installments was cheesy and took me out of the movie, the decision to copy the ending of another Alien movie which was hated when it originally came out was a weird choice, and tying this movie to the terrible prequels was something I could've done without. Your reaction was great though!
This one would make more sense if you watched Prometheus and Covenant. Alien 3 is ok, but has some bad decisions. And Resurrection i consider the wrose film innthe franchise.
I dont see anyone else commenting it from my quick glance, but Bjorn was confirmed baby daddy by the director like you originally guessed. Mustve been a real small mining community to pick your own cousin 🤢😵💫
Why?! What for?! All after Allien 3 is an absolute "god from machine"! Such a legend failed... Will not even try to watch. There is such a thing - TASTE.
I’m so happy you liked this one too. In my opinion, there’s no need to rush to the rest of them. They ain’t very good. I requested this a couple times last year, but you should watch Talk To Me. I’d love to see some more horror before the end of the month.
Haven't watched this yet, but I saw what you said about never having kids and I just want to say, hang in there, man. I'm sure that eventually you'll find some woman who'll have sex with you. I know it's a long shot, but there are some really desperate women out there.
Glad you enjoyed this movie. None of the other Alien movies are as good as these three, but I do think they are worth a watch, even though Alien 3 will tick you off early on. All of them do a good job of having a very different scenario and a a very different group of people going against the xenomorph. Just go in with expectations tempered and I would love to see your reactions.
