Alien Romulus [Region Free]

Alien: Romulus is a terrific movie. Filled with the action and horror we all know and love from the Alien franchise. Also great cast and fantastic special effects. The 4K is a stunning presentation of this wonderful thriller.Amazon have slipped lately, making me wait an entire week to deliver this new title, actually not dispatching until 3 days after order, to meet the disappointing delivery estimate. I'm a Prime Member, but lately it's only for Prime Video. The One-Day deliveries have been shocking few and far between for me.But a brilliant addition to my collection. Plus great value from Fox/Disney, bundling both the 4K and regular Blu-ray disc together for only £10 more over the solo Blu-ray, meaning you get the 4K disc for an extra tenner. Can't go wrong with that. And also comes in a slip case, so you could sell off the Blu-ray for a smaller price to a mate and give them a sleeve with it of your choosing and recoup some cash on your 4K. Sweet.In space, you can hear me scream my love for this flick.

I watched this film at the cinema, It was back to its horror roots, and a great Film that follows after Alien and Between Aliens, Giving More terrifing and intense Moment with a generic change Xenomorph. Well worth getting.

Another good installment in the Alien story.Good script and prop connection to the original.But the actual product feels cheap and flimsy.Possibly my fault in being a dinosaur and buying a DVD when I could otherwise stream the movie and not halm the environment by using more plastic!...The box is very lightweight compared to boxes of old, and the disc is plain white and uninspiring.But the digital recording is what it is all about, and that played fine. And when the online services pull the title, I'll still have it!

The latest in the Alien franchise, this will probably prove divisive for die hard fans. I’ve seen most of the films over many years, but out of sequence and I’ve treated them all as a one off. This latest addition, for me, works on that standalone basis.There’s a slow build for the first thirty or so minutes as the scene is set and characters introduced. The spacecraft settings are excellent. There’s a real sense of claustrophobia and isolation and when the creatures arrive, the effects are incredible. Some great sequences, quite a few nods to the preceding films in various ways, but on first viewing, I just wanted to sit back and enjoy a great sci fi movie without thinking at a cerebral level whether it fits with others in the franchise. It works as a scary sci fi and I’ll certainly watch it more than once.

I like another reviewer rate Prometheus!I enjoyed Romulus, very much. A good story and a refreshing younger cast, a worthy addition to the Alien franchise.This steelbook has some great artwork, much better than the standard package, in my opinion.I have even got my Hot Toys figure of Rain on order, looks fantastic, so life like, a piece of art!!

Having taken delivery of the DVD yesterday I have already watched it twice. The Dolby vision and the Atmos come together to make a brilliant movie overall. I have been an Alien fan since 79, some movies have received high praise and others not so much. The alien franchise needs all the help it can get these days and I honestly think that this latest movie has helped the overall credibility of our favourite extraterrestrial beastie. I do accept that Ridly Scott is the grandfather of the franchise however just like Simon Pegg should be kept away from story writing (Star Trek beyond) of my other science-fiction passion Mr. Scott must be reminded that other producers and directors may have new fresh ideas on which direction to take the franchise from here. Overall alien Romulus is a good blood dripping scary movie. 7.1.6

A decent watch but not special. I'm slightly disappointed as I love the Alien movies. Of the major ones, I think it's the weakest in some ways. The plot was minimal and was a less interesting rehash of Alien 3. Nothing was added to the lore. The cast was bland and not a patch on Ripley and Hicks etc. The original Alien and Aliens casts particularly blow them out of the water. Direction was solid without being dazzling but somehow the CGI/effects just seemed a little too 'glossy' for this universe. I felt very little suspense throughout the movie and had a strong sense that I'd seen every scene before (after the slow first 20 mins). The only thing that really stood out for me was David Jonsson and the Andy character. I was rooting for Andy (bad or good lol). It's not a bad film. It's not a major letdown. Pretty much everything is competent to a level you would expect of this franchise. BUT it wasn't compelling for me and for the first time I felt no tension or horror throughout the movie when the xenomorphs appeared. I will watch it again and hope it will grow on me (or reveal more than I got on first watch).

EnjoyedThe surprise of the return of a character from the original film stunned meWell paced and actedRecommended for fans of the original
