If Andy wasn't interested in Rain, why was he trying to kill her ex boyfriend Tyler? And why did their potentially getting back together bother him? If he truly thought of Rain as his sister, then he'd love Tyler! Tyler was a really nice guy!
I saw it as Andy's main directive still being to protect Rain, but I haven't once felt that was on the romantic side. I think he wanted to continue to be just him and her.
I really like how emotional the synthetics are in these Alien movies, such a difference from other films where the androids are so emotionless or just learning them.
once i heard her say romantic, i went to the comments in search of this. luckily it was the first comment to pop up and with most likes. phew, thats a relief.
Grace I'm sorry but Andy and Rain's relationship was clearly supposed to be brother and sister. He wasn't wasn't trying for her to fall in love with him what 😭
Romantic interest? Ew. Not only does she call him a brother numerous times , their relationship is also coded as a big sister taking care of her vulnerable little brother. Nothing romantic in there.
i think it was intentionally done so that you could see it both ways. Human-android relations as well as Xenomorph-human relations are themes that Scott and Giger were interested in exploring virtually from the beginning, so it will undoubtedly happen in an Alien installment in the future
As one of the few who *loves* Prometheus & Covenant, I couldn't be happier it finally ties into the bigger picture of the franchise. Hearing that musical cue of the Prometheus soundtrack made me very happy.
Kay had the worst death out of everyone. What she had to go through before biting it, waking up from cryo thinking she had made it only to experience that horror.
There isn't, at all, but maybe they'll go that route. Same way Alvarez literally could've dropped the entire 4th act by not showing Merced's character taking the black goo injection.
I did pick up on the potential for that storyline about 3/4 into the movie they had a moment where I picked up that vibe. However I took it more as she’s completely alone and actually sees him as a brother, because we learned at the beginning of the film that both of her parents have died. However I can see why Grace and others were getting romantic vibes, because it kinda would match the twisted creepy alien baby that ended up happening so I kinda like it lol.
@@BALL_BUZZ We aren’t talking about interpreting what an abstract painting means. It’s a brother/sister relationship, clearly stated and there is nothing shown or implied it is romantic.
The blue light is in the original movie covering the eggs. Also the Xeno that saves Rain doesn’t kill her because it wanted to impregnate her, you can see the face hugger sneaking in the corner.
Let’s go ! I loved Romulus. It was the right amounts of Prometheus and alien that this really worked for me. The zero gravity acid blood and Andy as a synthetic were my stand outs. I felt there was enough new material mixed with old that it was refreshing and nostalgic. Loved it
I felt so bad for Isabella’s character i think she suffered the most and movie just kept torturing her. Travel sickness, traumatic death of her friend (that she had no idea what was happening cause she was resting), getting stabbed by the xeno and cocooned, witnessing her brothers death to later making her believe she was safe to then painfully give REAL birth to a xenobaby hybrid to THEN finally die by essentially feeding her newborn. Wow… that was messed up
@@e3vL1yes! Thank you for noticing that! Apparently not everyone figured it out that Bjorn was the father. The way they looked and hold each other just before K.O., was a big tell.
Yeah that was wild. I was not expecting to see a gruesome alien-human hybrid birth scene in such detail but it sure added some shock horror to the movie.
Yea I’ve not seen a lot of Fede’s work aside from Evil Dead, but I’m starting to see a pattern where things happen because there was a clear issue and logical motivations and decisions were established to push the story forward rather than just, “oh it is what it is”. Which I think is why we just enjoy the movie so much.
@@SMRMUSICATX idk i wish it’s body language was more aggressive because when it snatched kay (the pregnant women) i thought she died at first so i kinda wish that scene was sped up more
I wish Kay had survived the movie because I think there could’ve been development in her story since she injected herself with that goo. I think it would’ve been more impactful for her to survive and recover from that pregnancy and show the effects of the goo in a sequel.
no romantic aspect between characters....you're projecting!....killing her boyfriend? wasn't tryin to kill him. although he may have had an ambivalence towards humans with the upgrade given to him as humans being inferior. you missed the mark entirely Gracie.
I love how the hybrid felt like such a freak accident, with how her being pregnant + injecting a bioengineered version of the parasite resulted in that thing being created. It was nightmarish seeing her play hot potato with it and throwing it in the corridor, and it’s peeling, and it melting through the floor to get it to a safe place as a defense mechanism so it can grow. SICK. 10/10.
I know everyone else is saying it but there is no implication at all of anything beyond a sibling love for each other. Him almost getting the humans killing was cold calculating Android logic in tight scenarios. What a bizarre way to view these characters
The scarred xenomorph seemed more interested in salvaging bodies and abducting hosts for the face-huggers. It didn’t kill Rain because there was a face-hugger about to attack her.
I liked the movie a lot, just wish we had more time with with main cast before the plot kicked in. In both Alien and Aliens we get to see the characters having a meal, joking, and interacting with each other, this really helped in setting up the dynamic of the characters in regards to each other and flash out their personalities.
Grace don’t forget the hybrid looked like an Engineer! The callbacks to the best and most intriguing part of Prometheus/Covenant was great! The black goo, the cylinder, even down to bleeding those facehuggers in that tank. Just how the Engineers worshipped and bled that original deacon alien which was their source of black goo.
Man hell no lol. There was absolutely nothing romantic about there relationship…. Nothing because he said he wanted his sister to stop treating him like a kid he wanted to get with his sister ? No Grace that shit is weird and I didn’t get that at all watching the movie.
im pretty sure teh hybrid was meant to look like an engineer because the goal now is to make "perfect" humans capable of living in new worlds. It's coming in full circle and i think thats the intent
The alien that caught the the MC in the elevator shaft confused me at first too. But the reason why it didn't kill her was because the alien was going to use her for reproduction rather than killing her for food or fun.
I'm admittedly happy to see so many agree there was absolutely nothing romantic about their relationship and it's remarkable to hear you focus on it so much in your review. It really makes me wonder why it's something you see or perhaps just really want to see? For me, I thought it actually worked really well as a sibling type relationship and I loved that aspect. But I guess we all see what we want to see.
God forbid someone wanna see romance. They aren’t related, he’s a synth, and a few edits of the script and they aren’t even adopted siblings lol. It’s not like you’d tell at a glance. I would have preferred a romantic relationship too
I enjoyed Alien Romulus from an entertainment standpoint barely. There was nothing original about this movie and the characters were not that competent. I'd argue that were not even smart and as much as I love parts of this movie, it honestly felt like a recreation of the first 4 Alien movies. I wasn't even surprised about the third act. I absolutely saw that coming.
The xenomorph didn't kill Rain because it's a drone. It's job is to get hosts for implantation. Rain was going to be another host for an alien. That's why it didn't kill her.
The blue light field as an element has been there since the first Alien movie. Probably there to activate the eggs when it gets breached. I heard somewhere that they originally wanted to use webbing or membrane in the first film but cannot get it to look good. They then borrowed the laser light from The Who concert nearby and fitted some smoke machines and walah! creepy sci fi light effect. This light field on the floor is absolutely creepy and iconic.
This was a GREAT MOVIE!! Bringing the horror back to the Aliens' franchise was well done. The past few movies went away from the horror elements so I was pleasantly surprised.
Also I agree! Alien Romulus is now definitely the third best movie overall in the alien franchise! Not sure if I’m still on a theater high but I might actually prefer it over the original! Even though I absolutely love those films!
Nope, on the oposite the third act was stupid for me. The rest of the movie was amazing. Human-xeno hybrids will take this movie into a cheese fast that I know most alien fans will run away from. Also Grace have you never seen brotherly love? This was clearly a sister caring for her brother. I have a sister I could totally see this.
Which makes sense since the black goo she injects herself with is a synthesised version of the black goo from Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. So it would make sense for it to carry some of the genetic template from the Engineers considering they are the ones who originally created the black goo
@@TheFallofTheEleventhRook mentioned that the humans were too weak to explore the universe therefore developed the black goo who would bring a stronger being. I feel like it could be an engineer origin story
@@FrappuccinoDrinkswouldn’t be possible since Alien Romulus takes place after Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. Engineers already exist at this point and are the ones who created Humanity when an Engineer consumed their version of the Black Goo and disintegrated while falling into the Water Supply on Earth, which kick starts evolution and creates us. The Engineers were trying to potentially recreate the “creature” that looks like a much more natural type of Xenomorph, with some believing they’re trying to recreate the “Xenomorph” like creature that we see on the Engineers Mural inside of their ship but they never managed to do it until David came along and even then, he was only able to create the Xenomorph as we know them on screen which are artificially altered Xenomorphs. That’s why they have the bio-mechanical parts on their body and it’s why the “Xenomorph” on the Engineer doesnt.

Watched this with my dad today, we both LOVED IT! But I have to admit, with me being a 2000s kid who grew up with this franchise, I really do think it's time for another ALIENS VS PREDATOR movie!!! We're living in an age where the most recent Predator (PREY) and Alien (ROMULUS) solo films were great, why not bring them together once more with the great minds behind both films?
If Andy wasn't interested in Rain, why was he trying to kill her ex boyfriend Tyler? And why did their potentially getting back together bother him?
If he truly thought of Rain as his sister, then he'd love Tyler! Tyler was a really nice guy!

@maurreese she was protecting him for being a synthetic. He was programmed to protect her.

Loved the audio que!

the hybrid xeno at the end kinda looked like the ENGINEERS! Anyone else think so?
I thou that too
Absolutely
YES!!
No shit, Sherlock
for sure that was intentional
Andy was so obviously an android in the trailer, but the way it’s actually revealed that it was actually rook’s programming taking over was amazing.

Watched this with my dad today, we both LOVED IT! But I have to admit, with me being a 2000s kid who grew up with this franchise, I really do think it's time for another ALIENS VS PREDATOR movie!!! We're living in an age where the most recent Predator (PREY) and Alien (ROMULUS) solo films were great, why not bring them together once more with the great minds behind both films?
I loved it! Third act, AMAZING 😮
Great Alien movie. One of the best.
I disagree on their not being a lot of great movies this year, there is! Just gotta see em, especially the smaller movies
“Full Splice” got me 😂😂😂
21:08, lmaoooo I laughed so hard cause that Xenomorph did all but yell out “SURPRISE!!” 😂😂😂😂😂
I just saw the movie and I loved it! I appreciated the “twist” and I am grateful it didn’t go too far. Just the right amount of shock value
From seeing a guy take a syringe needle from his eye in Evil Dead, I was hopping for little bit more splatter and gloop, still very enjoyable 🎉
I was shocked. Loved every second of it
Regarding the blue floor lasers...watch the first 5 mins of Aliens (1986)
Just watched it & the best Alien movie after Alien & Aliens
A lot of callbacks to them & even the prequels 👍
I did not pick up on a romantic relationship at ALL. They were brother and sister. It reminded of my own relationship with my sister. Really great.
As a huge fan of Alien and Prometheus, this movie was phenomenal! This is what covenant wanted to be!
I just saw it this afternoon and it was awesome and scary. Loved it!
