ALIEN ROMULUS BREAKDOWN! Easter Eggs & Details You Missed!

So BASICALLY, if WE used the “alien” genes to create this humanoid THING, and because these beings can accelerate growth (including intelligence), perhaps …. These beings evolve to become engineers! We CREATED the engineers???? Who would eventually get away from us and establish their home ELSEWHERE?? And perhaps… these engineers (like in Prometheus/Covenant) try to enhance themselves so much that they evolve to become … Predators, like the Predators are won’t to do 😀

Best easter egg for me is that --like Alien and Aliens-- the 't-minus..' countdown happens in real time. It's exactly 30 minutes (after the ship crashes and messes up the trajectory) from the first "T-minus 30 minutes until impact" announcement until the ship starts getting shredded by the asteroid field. I find it oddly satisfying when movies do this and very cool that the three best Alien films all have this in it.

I absolutely Loved the Copious amounts of Alien Isolation References there was in this movie!

[@blizzyhan]

When Andy said “what, leave someone behind?” That had me speaking under my breath “dayuuuum” I loved it hahaha petty for no reason

[@vivabeta7217]

Nice! A few corrections. The tracker wasn't a motion tracker it detected heat signatures. The father of Kay's baby was Bjorn. And yeah Acheron was the name of LV426.

[@phillaysheo8]

Proof?

[@AkiTerry]

True it was a heat tracker. That's how they found the very cold cyro pods fuel.

[@kevinbyrd3531]

The Offspring’s inner mouth jaw reminds me of the Reaper strain Vampires from Blade 2.

[@orpheus0108]

The offspring looks so goofy 😂

[@user-ky9pz8wo3t]

16:10 just the alien casually smiling next to his actor at the red carpet makes me laugh 😂

[@nevermindmyname9153]

14:50 - I like to think the Chest Burster's lethargy was due to the fact is wasn't properly formed due to a shortened Incubation period. If you note other Xenomorphs from Alien and Alien 3 all had over a Day or so before birth.

[@theeLonelyRedPanda]

love the nod of those older models were always a bit twitchy, and even rook said he was an older model that predated him Andi was always twitchy. And the whole androids couldn't harm humans but they could let them die.

[@jsmusicanddrums]

We need perfect humans. Ignoring perfectly good synthetics that do everything they're looking for😅

[@northerncrisp]

Makes me wonder, how many worlds did the engineers seed? How many different variations of Xenomorphs occurred from these other worlds; it, at all? How did the Predator race fall into this? Were they created by the Engineers as well to help purge or something?

[@Flat_3_6]

AVP isnt cannon so they dont fall into it at all. Predator is its own universe and AVP is its own. Blade Runner and Alien are in the same universe.

[@dicedbyher]

​@@Flat_3_6 wait so the predators arent in this same universe? How is that possible if later they are in war?

[@troylovel6714]

@@dicedbyher if i recall correct like the AVP Comics, novels, and movies are not canon to either franchise. the same can be said for the Alien vs. Predator Vs. Terminator comics. but again i could be wrong

[@cesarsimon3143]

You didn’t mention that Rain wakes up almost same frame as Ripley and when rain blocks the sun, the shade looks like an alien’s hand

[@reptilian_overlord]

The original Alien movie is a masterpiece.

[@dragonknightofamiraka3636]

a racist masterpiece

[@reptilian_overlord]

@@dragonknightofamiraka3636 ahahaha carry on

[@TheCurlyfryBaggins]

I recently watched it for the first time and it was good but I guess I think it’s a bit overhyped cause I would not call it a masterpiece

[@gabevelarde3215]

Incredible movie but my god was that last jump scare scene perfect. "The Offspring" has to be the single most unsettling and horrifying thing I've ever seen in a movie. Loved it and maybe there's a sequel in the works?

[@_GuyInTheChair]

I don’t think the facehuggers were in cryo sleep. The screen in the room that has an image of the facehugger says “PRINTING” beneath it

[@evil_noodles]

This was the Alien version of The Force Awakens. I kinda enjoyed it, but as the same time felt like we'd been-there, done-that before.

[@LydellBaker]

The Metapod and Kakuna reference completely made my day !

[@zmaxx21]

The artificial gravity was not malfunctioning. It was turned off and would periodically turn back on so the station would not explode.

[@BaebyBear23]

Dude when the egg opened up to a humanoid looking thing i nearly jumped outta my seat! What a reveal, I LOVED this movie. Saw it for the 2nd time today and yeah, its a wonderful addition to the Alien series

[@SolarDNA]

I wouldn't say Romulus is the best Alien film of course, but I'd say its a definite improvement over Covenant. Also, not that I'd necessarily want a big ongoing cinematic universe, but I'd like a film that does canonically tie together Alien with Blade Runner and maybe the other franchises that seem to share continuity. I just think it would be cool.

[@lordvlygar2963]

Terminator, Aliens, and Blade Runner are all in the same universe, just at different points. Cyberdyne becomes Hyperdyne and Tyrell partners with Weyland Yutani.

[@ricardomejias4771]

there's a theory that Charlize Theron's character in Prometheus is actually a "replicant" and not an android, so there's potentially that...

[@daftPirate15]

So do we have any idea what the point of the blue laser layer is about? It prompted Andy to stop as if it was meaningful.

[@johnny1902]

I liked this movie. That hybrid was more creepy than the one from alien resurrection

[@shanehicok9849]

What is the deal with the cornbread? All the movies have them eating cornbread. Easter egg.

[@dsouthernflyboi]

People were on the edge of their seats when that thing was born.

[@GeorgeHawes]

Anyone else notice the xenomorph shape in the clouds at 3:22 ?

[@joniscudder4089]

Yes

[@chernobylcharles1625]

I friggin loved the movie.

[@kenko7735]

This was my first Alien movie, very very fun.

[@buddyredd5554]

Isn’t the smoothed headed xenomorphs called drones I thought warriors had the rigid skull like the one in aliens

[@carmenmele9352]

4:31 in this shot of Jackson’s Star, the bright red neon sign that says “Bar” is the same one found on the colony site that the Colonial Marines check out early on in “Aliens”

[@ryanthedinosaur_]

In alien isolation too!

[@michaelkearney5616]

Was really hoping someone would mention that

[@freedomfirst5557]

The Rook effect were absolutely terrible. I am amazed someone didn't see that cut and said...."Yeah, that's good enough, print it".

[@BullyMaguire4ever]

Probably ran out of time and funding.

[@jasonhurdlow6607]

He was a failing android though, so the uncanny bit kinda worked I thought.

[@With_Kris]

This movie gave me so much hope for the classic movie franchises.

[@LeoArenales18]

Great bridge to the originals, glad they showed it in theaters and not just Hulu Now we need the sequel to covenant or an in between with Shaw
