Watched it last night. I have to say being a 44 yr old man. And having watched all the franchise, this movie tied in well between alien and aliens. The backstory was very good leading up to docking with Romulus. It was definitely worth watching.
People often criticize sequels and prequels for either sticking too closely to the original or diverging too much from it, rarely feeling satisfied. However, it's worth noting that even the first 'Alien' initially received mixed reviews. Alien: Romulus is a solid addition to the franchise, deserving an 8 out of 10, mainly due to some questionable CGI and a few unnecessary callback tropes. Despite these issues, the practical effects were outstanding, and the two leads delivered excellent performances, especially Andy, the artificial person. The story was solid, and the acting was top-notch, placing it high in the franchise's rankings, just behind 'Alien' and 'Aliens,' making it a fitting close to what could be seen as a near-perfect trilogy.
Probably because they want to keep him as a secret. The movie just came out. I think it is a better experience for moviegoers without knowing he exists.
Thank god someone speaking the truth. I’m a big alien fan since the 80 s. This was so bad ,I even asked the people around me in the cinema,is it me or was that shit. They all agreed.
After 9 films, 21 short films, 72 different Alien stories, as well as various collected editions, reprints, non-canon crossover comics, and more than a dozen novels, it's not possible to make the xenomorph "scary" to someone familiar with the monster. And people who watched the bootleg version didn't properly experience the movie; poor-quality video and audio ruin movies and shows.
