Alien: Romulus (Fede Alvarez, August 16th, 2024) Movie • Page 18

Stay off the interwebs people

 

@JoshIsMediocre cant

 

I'm def curious about this big third act twist considering Alien movies tend to be... fairly straightforward (not a bad thing!)

 

was it good

 

It’s definitely familiar…ties in Prometheus/Covenant.

Here’s the spoiler, not sure if true but multiple people were agreeing… third act features a hybrid xeno/human being born, the main character infects herself with the Prometheus black goo (which is on the space station) to birth a hybrid to battle the xenos on board

 

gonna unfollow until Thursday lest my thumb accidentally hover over the spoiler, lol

 

I have Aliens playing in the background while I work. Love that the action kicks in RIGHT at the one hour mark and it's nearly non-stop from there.

 

My non-horror loving but Alien-loving friend is gonna struggle with this lol

I'm also probably just getting defensive over a movie I haven't seen but I hate when someone has the privilege to see and review a movie like this early and the best wording they can muster up is "mostly...fine"

 

My friend had a family emergency and is going to be away now, so we had to refund our tickets for this. Not sure when I’ll be seeing this now, so I will be dipping out until then. Hope everyone loves it!

 

ikr!

I used to get so mad when people got to experience media early and their impressions were generic or thoughtless, I would get so jealous

 

Kind of suspected this but pleasantly surprised to see this, if this is how it happens.

 

This is the boat I'm in. I'm a scaredy cat, but I really want to see it.

 

Watching Aliens right now; man, such a cool film. Can def tell the James Csmeron style throughout, and how it would evolve into Terminator 2 a few years later

 

Just as good as the original in a different way. I always thought the first one being "horror" and the second one being "terror" was a cool way to describe the difference between those two words. One is like a haunted house film in space while the other is a total thrill ride.

 

No way this is worse then 3

 

few major critics whose opinions i usually find myself at complete odds with more than ole dave

 

I find his analysis very compelling even when I mostly disagree with him, so I'll be interested in what he was to say.

 

Just no way it’s worse than promtheus or covenant

 

Yeah I like David a lot but wasn’t he pretty meh on Dune and Villenue in general?

 

I like Prometheus and Covenant too. I’m sure this’ll be a blast.

 

those are 2 good movies

 

Maybe homie just doesn’t like sci fi. Cuz Dune and Alien are sci fi af

 

I thought I recalled David really liking Prometheus and Covenant - I think he’s just more interested in those for Fassbenders performance more than the actual movies

 

Saw Trap and Cuckoo tonight, if this is even an 8/10 it will be a GOATed horror movie week in my life
