Alien Romulus
This movie seems to get a lot of love for some reason. I understand the bar was set really low by Prometheus and Covenant but that's not an excuse.
Romulus is just a collection of greatest hits from all the previous movies. None of the beats were new or original. Not a single protagonist or element added to the story in a meaningful way. None of the main characters are memorable in the slightest (compare to the phenomenal characters in Alien or Aliens). It was just so...bland
So, first preview for Alien Romulus happened and I was super excited. Riiiiiiight until I realized it was an Alien movie. I want a damn scifi movie set in the universe to explore the rest of where humanity is at. But Alien movies are so focused on the xenomorph and horror aspects that they create amazing set dressing then just forget about it. Like if they came out with a movie "Weyland-Yutani" and there was a promise there was no Xenomorph, just an exploration of humanities dystopia there, I'd be right there for that movie.
I think that's what RS was trying to do with the franchise by taking it in a new direction. He's a risk taker and always wants to try something new so I applaud him for an least trying with Prometheus despite the flat execution. Oh well
As an Aliens fan, I absolutely hated this movie too. A lot of people I know we're comparing them. I didn't kill them. I swear.
