Alien: Romulus - Movie Review

A new Alien film that looks to recapture what made Alien great! Does it succeed? Here's my review for ALIEN: ROMULUS!

"I expected this movie to exist in a vacuum..."

Well, it's set in space, so...

Having a second ending is essential for an Alien movie. The first 2 films had that “oh phew it’s all over…oh fuck no it’s not!”

Alien: Romulus makes me want to play through Alien: Isolation.

[PandaEatsPlanetEarth]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned how beautiful this film is to look at.
The scenes in space have epic visuals, the set design is another level! It's incredible. Also, there are a lot of practical effects in this film that are really impressive.

I really enjoyed this film.

The movie is actually heavily inspired by the Alien Isolation game! The director loved the game and even references it with the save phones

Out of all the movie reviewers on YouTube, Jeremy has earned not only my subscription but he's earned my repeat viewing for the last 6 years because he's honest, doesn't waste time and is one of the most accurate reviewers without giving away spoilers. Hats off to you sir.

Facehuggers will always be the most anxiety inducing creatures ever designed for horror. They're like space spiders with long tails, and scurry about the floor with that spider like reflex. Their only goal is to impregnate their victim. The fact that they tripled the amount for this film, and made them faster....pure dread.

The sound design for this movie was gorgeous! The silence of space is horrifying and they played with it perfectly!

[jimberjamber]

It's interesting that Fede Alvarez was able to film this movie in chronological order. The fact that he had that much control over production definitely seems like a good thing. Great choice for a director for a new Alien movie. He knows horror.

Spoilers:

This movie’s climax is a battle with the Orphan of Kos. We finally got that Bloodborne remake.

[CaptainJoystick]

I hear what you're saying with the 'second ending' stuff, but for me that's a critical element of a proper Alien story. Alien, Aliens, Alien Isolation, and I think even 3 and Resurrection all have these moments when we have the climax and are left exhausted and emotionally drained - and then the survivors realize they're still in danger and we get to share in their sense of exhaustion.

“I Just wanna do right by you.”

Jeremy treating me better than anyone in my actual life. 😭😭😭

[timlitondo]

Still waiting for the deadpool & wolverine spoiler review

[rosslane]

If you’re into games Alien: Isolation is a fantastic game, really captures the feel of the original movies.

[rampage]

AVP has a special place in my heart. The movie sucked as a crossover horror film people initially expected, but it wasn't meant to be a horror film. I enjoyed it as an action movie about monsters kicking the shit out of eachother while humans just run around trying to not die.

[dannyl]

The way they filmed all the gravity scenes was incredible

[Nicholas_Chen_]

I’m glad you mentioned the trailer didn’t spoil that much. I was worried if it showed the entire film looks like the actual film has a lot more surprises for us.

[RizandaRiceBarrels]

that "lord of the Rings" referrence out of nowhere made me laugh so hard 😂

[pauldavidson]

Aliens was one of my favourite movies as a kid. I damn near wore the VHS tape out.

[Sandeep-ryqq]

Please do a spoiler talk of this . I freakin loved this movie
