*BEWARE SPOILERS* Alien: Romulus

[Rotfish]

thetv show was bad?

I liked the first season. Haven't seen the second or third yet.

 

[davejames]

Yeah these early screening reviews are always way too glowing and enthusiastic. But it does at least suggest that the movie will be pretty good and not another run-of-the-mill Alien sequel, so I'm happy to hear that.

actually I think I saw the first season and I forgot. I only remember Chucky mentioning Pokemon.

if anything it just shows that it's better than average. even if it's fanboys. its a good sign.

I'm steering clear of reviews and any more trailers or BTS stuff. I want to experience this in as pristine a way as possible.

 

[jye4ever]

BTS stuff gave a-lot away.

It's a Fede Alvarez film. I'm expecting a shallow but competent horror/slasher movie but nothing more.

Yes , it looked like this from the start...
But that's not what I want from an Alien film.

Do you want the slow claustrophobic feel?

Yea. Why would they give away the RDJ as Ripley cameo?


Damn. Sorry for the spoiler guys

Yeah I’m on media blackout too, I already know too much as it is.

Personally , I want a bigger sci fi tale. I want the lore to evolve.we got the creation story, let's see what happens when the "most perfect organism" gets loose.....

Bring in societal and political story more than "bad corporations "

Just expand.....

Chasing and killing in the dark is just so overdone,

Most of the time when 'lore evolves' it gets over-complicated and/or loses the element of mystery ... I can't get behind the origin story presented to us. Personally I think it's a mess.

But having these things on the loose and widespread would make for an interesting problem and some horrific action. I guess the challenge is keeping it from devolving into 'Space Zombie Movie' which is maybe the main pitfall for a monster like this.

Bring in societal and political story more than "bad corporations "

I agree with this. We get it, Weyland-Yutani bad.

Just expand.....

Chasing and killing in the dark is just so overdone,

Agreed again. Which begs the question, is that what this creature is, and there's no more story to tell, or could they actually find competent writers to give us a good expansion?

At this point I'm not sure, given stories like this seem over-saturated due in no small part to the inspiration and influence of the first two films. I think I'm just rendered cynical by the slew of bad writing I've seen in recent years.

The whole 'content-over-story' thing.

I’ve taken the day off and will be shooting down to the local flix first showing.

 

[ScoutingForToys]

I hope of the rumours of

Spoiler:

a human/alien hybrid

aren't true. That'd kill the movie dead for me. Hell I might walk out.

 

[Wor-Gar]

That'd kill the movie dead for me. Hell I might walk out.

Then this movie is dead to you. Don't go.

 

[ScoutingForToys]

Then this movie is dead to you. Don't go.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll just pretend this movie doesn't exist.

Why

 

[BeefEaster]

Wouldn't every xenomorph with a human host technically be a human/alien hybrid?

 

[ScoutingForToys]

Why

Because I really hate that ****. It was stupid in

Spoiler:

Alien Resurrection

and I have no interest in seeing it again. Just hate the idea.

 

[ScoutingForToys]

Yes but that's not what the we're talking about. We're talking

Spoiler:

Alien:R style hybrid creatures. Like the failed Ripley clones or the horrible "Newborn" thing
