Alien: Romulus

The characters didn’t grab me, they were kind of faceless, the main character herself resembles Lawrence, and for me that’s just a red rag. But the director’s love for the franchise and the atmosphere are inviting, and space fantasy is a rare guest on the screens.

Borscht is everywhere: the pathos of the score is off the charts, the facial expressions of the characters overshadow the entire silent film, the atrophied Hollywood logic is in full bloom. Was there not enough graphics for Bilbo? You can’t please everyone. But it’s good that the franchise is alive and developing. An android with the eyes of an abandoned puppy surpassed the look of Puss in Boots)

If you do reboots, then only like this one, namely, those that treat the franchise with respect. It was surprising to see such a successful sequel after the shitty "Covenant". I hope the franchise will now go in the right direction. P.S. The finale was a real brick wall. Creepy.

A couple of points for the graphics and the non-irritating cast. The script is complete crap, even a dog or a goldfish would have done better. The film shows the last minutes of the lives of imbeciles, it’s amazing how they survived and came out of puberty with such mental abilities.

2025. I’m just glad that the series has moved away from the Prometheus line back closer to the origins. Considering that not all the films in the original quadrology were up to par, Romulus is a worthy representative of the Aliens. Thanks to Fedya.

A good movie that respects the original. But I wouldn’t say I saw a masterpiece. The most interesting things were already brought by Alien and Aliens . Here, the atmosphere is mostly captivating, the monsters' design is more refined.

A tense horror that returns the franchise to its roots. Featuring strong performances, especially from Cailee Spaeny and David Jonsson, and impressive effects, the film successfully builds tension, although it uses familiar tropes that can feel repetitive.

The best and most elaborate part of the franchise. The plot tells the story in detail between the 1st and 2nd parts.

A very worthy continuation of the Xenomorphs' adventures in space. The human heroes are not annoying, the android is a success, except that Bilbo is not finished. Otherwise, the atmosphere of complete hopelessness is conveyed well. Keep up the good work.

The Goonies in Alien(s). As befits an attraction, it’s very bright, flashy and empty. Behind the carefully copied scenery there is nothing but mechanical suspense props in the form of a countdown and a threatening soundtrack. And you wanted mainstream with Ideas? It’s not in the interests of the companies.

This is the best thing that came out after Cameron’s Aliens. There are references to the first two films. And although the lore of the aliens is not very revealed, and there are questions about some moments, the story is interesting to follow. And the characters are not bad, and the smart scientists from the Covenant behave.

A lot came together here, the fact that the film is in the recommendations, and that I’m preparing for the Oscars, and that it seems like a good movie and that I have some very favorite films in this series of films, and they’ll also give me a badge. Well, it’s one of those films that will probably be remembered in 2024.

A benchmark sci-fi horror with stunningly stylish visuals and camera work. The characters lack color, but this is compensated by the viscous atmosphere of an inevitable threat. The moment with chaotic shooting from a pulse carbine and splashing xenomorphs drives you to madness.

Alternative title: "Kids in Space". The authors took the key moments of the early films, turned them into lazy remakes, did not introduce anything new and wrapped everything up in a teenage thriller, which, due to the budget, resembled a "B". On the positive side – competent production.

A sequel-prequel soft-bootstrap about people running along corridors and xenomorphs. A cinematic munculus created by artificial intelligence, seemingly cobbled together from 3 films at once. But it’s beautiful when there’s no epileptic editing and the director doesn’t rotate the camera 5 times in a row per scene

I read that the director was inspired by the game Alien: Isolation, so I expected something a little different. No one even sat under the table or in the closet. But I caught a lot in common with the original film. I would also like to note the characters – all bright, it’s a pity they were merged without unnecessary drama.

Alvarez is certainly great that he respects the original, but I think this is too much. The film as a whole does not offer anything new, because it was shot strictly according to the canons of the genre. It came to life that at least somewhere the film will surprise… Alas.

It’s well done, it’s a shame without Sigourney Weaver. But I enjoyed it, shed a tear, got tense a couple of times. It’s quite enjoyable to watch.

I haven’t watched a horror movie for a long time, I decided to watch it and didn’t regret it, the movie is okay.

Give it this way: this is great. Remember how we all wanted more and got Prometheus-Covenant? A normal story in a favorite setting, which has not been done for a long time. The final creepster – is this an allusion to Ridley Scott’s unloved child (franchise)? I’m waiting for new stories, without more heroines

An unexpectedly good addition to the Alien cinematic universe. The authors very successfully rethought spectacular scenes from previous films and tried not to spoil the established canon. Fans of the film series will not learn anything new from "Romulus", but they will not be disappointed.

Finally a good sequel, the film is a combo of Aliens and Resurrection. The characters are not reckless hysterics, like in Covenant, they even try to make reasonable decisions, the protagonist is essentially a "new Ripley". It looks tense. Objectively 7/10, but I’ll give it an 8.
