*BEWARE SPOILERS* Alien: Romulus

Can't say I noticed a difference on my physical watch a few weeks back. Then again, that was several months after my theater watch. Hard to tell without comparing the two side by side.

Huh, I didn't realize they had done this. Does the Ian Holm FX look any better on streaming? Apparently they reverted back more to the puppet.

I've watched it twice on disc and didn't realize that the effects were updated, so I'm guessing anyone that hated it before will feel largely the same.

I *did* think he looked better than I remembered, but assumed it was because I was viewing in on a smaller screen.

EDIT: They did include a deleted scene that showed the Rook animatronic with no CGI at all and I actually wish they had gone that route for the entire film. No it didn't look "real" but it still fit the aesthetic better than what we got IMO.
