Alien: Romulus - 4K + Blu-ray + Digital [4K UHD]

A solid return
I watched Alien: Romulus and thought it was a solid addition to the series. It brought back the suspense and horror elements that made the original films so engaging. The atmosphere was tense, and the visuals were impressive. Cailee Spaeny did a great job as the lead, bringing a fresh energy to the story. The film had some intense moments that kept me on edge. That said, it did rely heavily on nostalgia, with many callbacks to earlier movies. While that was fun at times, it also made parts of the film feel a bit predictable. Some of the characters could have been more developed, but overall, the movie delivered on the thrills and scares I was hoping for.If you’re a fan of the Alien franchise, this one is worth checking out. It may not surpass the classics, but it captures the essence of what made them great.

One of the best movies I've ever seen
10/10 Masterpiece.Even if the later part of the plot is a little crazy, This is still my favorite movie of 2024 and one of the best films I've ever seen. The acting is amazing, the soundtrack is perfect, and the plot and special effects are mostly perfect. My only complaints are there are some wonky looking alien CGI heads and the Offspring alien was a little stupid.

Its hits just below the mark
two real main characters actually do a great job at acting even tho there is a fodder character in the end stretch that I thought was a main until then who was also a great actor, the actual fodder characters where also not bad, the art for the movie on the cover is a spoiler to who dies so that was a buzzkill already knew as soon as I saw the character show up. people say in the comments that there are cringy scenes and I really didn't think there were really any at all, or im just to blonde. the movie kept my attention, I had to read a text in a part and realized I was only 3 minutes ahead and already going wow what happened. The director did a great job and making sure there was a good nostalgia factor along with the modern day sprinkle in it. I do wish they took a different approach as in completely brand new rather then making it in the time frame between the first and second alien/s. I did not like the slight predictability and the Prometheus idea pull, but I guess thats how this movie is in play because its a sequel/prequel. Alot of inspiration was taking from space odyssey and alien isolation (the video game). all in all a good watch.. excited for alien isolation 2 the game and hoping for a brand new alien movie with a different plot line would be nice and minus the hybrid xeno's thats kinda lame.. I liked in alien Dark Decent (the game) they had a massive xeno that would be sweet to see on the big screen.the practical effects did steal my soul, I come from (82's) the thing (no im not that old but I watched it when i was 8), the dark crystal both movie and show(F netflix tho for not continuing the show), and of course alien. 4 stars only because I do love my xeno's on the big screen!

Outstanding !
Focusing on the wrong subject matter can kill a franchise. Fortunately, this franchise will never die and someone finally made another good Alien movie. The perfect trilogy path for this franchise -- ALIEN, ALIEN ROMULUS, ALIENS.Three movies together that are a Suspenseful, Frightening, Pulse-pounding journey.I highly recommend Alien Romulus as a true part of the originally intended Alien story.

Great movie Good addition to the Alien franchise
I've only watched it once so far so good. Pretty scary movie. A lot like the original Alien. Takes place about 20 years after Alien so pretty close in movietime. I like it better than the last two Alien movies by Ridley, they always left me with an uneasy feeling, like I just watched something I shouldn;t have watched, especially Covenant. The actors actually play mostly smart and competent parts in this movie. Ridley's last two Alien movies I swear. The people couldn't have been stupider or more incompetent, with attitude also. Sometimes I was actually rooting for the alien to put them out of our misery lol

Tied for Last
If it wasn't for the last 15 minutes it would be hands down the weakest of the 7 Alien movies.Guess it's tied with Alien 3. Which it's close to losing since Sigourney Weaver is amazing.IDK why these producers think an all teenager cast is believable...at least the plot support it in this. They didn't spend nearly enough time on the right story though. It's too much suspense in a universe we already know. This could have been a great movie but it's really lacking...in much the same way Alien 3 was.At least this movie introduces more new elements than Alien 3 - the pulse rifle, andriod expansion, new monster and continuation of the OG Alien story. Maybe they can come out with another that is more like Aliens (the 2nd one). That would be a good direction to go.Worth a watch if you don't mind waiting a while for a short gut wrenching finale and are a huge Alien fan.
