ALIEN ROMULUS: Fresh Sci-Fi Horror or What We've Seen Before? - Nerd Legion Ep. 41

[@teraformerr]

First time I watched a nerd legion episode. I really enjoy this show, I feel like I'm talking with some friends about what we watched.

[@CountCocofang]

50:33 Characters playing a movie in Story-Mode is a really funny analogy for situations where the universe seems to conspire to help them at any cost.

Monte and doa running mmo dungeons together would be banger content 😂

[@LoLPunky]

Damn was not expecting Doa to be the uber critical one -- totally here for 'Bitchy Doa' though. And super keen for the WoW movie review 👍

I gave the movie a 7.5/10, a fun watch. I really enjoyed Andy in the movie. I do feel like the more I think about the movie, the less shiny the movie appears.

[@KaylaVioxx]

David Johnson is half the reason i wanted to actually see the film! I loved him in a film called Rye Lane

[@izcoatpv]

I liked a lot this movie,story separated from Riplely, more of a return to the roots of Alien while relating some of the story to a few of the most interesting things in Covenant and Prometheus. There are many conveniences and dumber things at the end, plus it drags a little bit too long, but I still enjoyed it greatly. If we are very lucky I'd love to see more franchises like Terminator get the same treatment and respect, and for this type of Alien movies to continue. Pretty cool of you guys to take the time to get it out soon after the release, love the series and it's so wonderful to finally get some sci-fi sequel/reboot that does justice to the series

[@LikeACrouton]

We saw it last week. I think the main issue is you know exactly how the first 2/3 of the movie are gonna go just from knowing who the cast is. I genuinely liked the last 3rd, but I wish they'd condensed the obvious and tropey formula of having 5 teens trying to escape their fate in favor of more time with the cool stuff.

banger film and a banger power spike on the same day? we are fed

[@maskedriderkiva1]

I love aliens covenant esp because of Michael Fassbender but unfortunately, they didnt continue with that time line for now... Hope they revisit it!

[@fireelemen6]

I can't wait for Monte to detour the sword and sorcery filler arc with an episode about his new favorite show Van Pires

[@Ridghost]

After having 3 really kind of shit Alien movies in a row, I really love this movie. It's defacto the 3rd best Alien movie for me. Yeah, it has flaws, but I could easily watch this movie again. Gives me hope for the future of the franchise.

[@Ragendan]

So sad to see that during this entire episode there is no mention of Dark star, the actual ultimate sci-fi film.

[@matthewtomlinson2681]

Was going to watch more LFNC stuff and Monty drops that "wow lore is trash" at the end. Never change lmao

[@NoradNoxtus]

The WoW movie is giga underrated.

[@snafuv2520]

There was a period of 20-30 minutes of the film which was banging, around when the leader, the yob and the android are locked in that room. Hated the callbacks obviously.. The autoaim buttstock and Ripley's line pissed me off the most. Feel like they threw too many ideas and callbacks into this just so they could get a guaranteed sequel. Like how they added more to the motivations of the Company (Weyland Yutani) and seeing more of what exactly humans colonising the stars looks because we never really got that, Wish the 'intro' into Rain and her android was expanded a little and let CS showcase her talents abit more. Feel this movie should have been more slow paced/horror focused then when the sequel gets green lit bring in the Colonial Marines and Xeno/Human hybrid.

[@LuapmanNA]

Literally all they had to do was adapt Alien Isolation to the big screen.

[@FMD-FullMetalDragon]

They should have made the Alien Isolation video game as a movie instead of Romulas.

[@Washi81]

Bjorn calls Andy a bitch, that's why he uses that word.

[@silvafangtv]

I enjoyed the movie overall, the deepfake Ian Holm took me out of it, the callbacks also took me out of it, expected better from Fede Alvarez

[@ZanCartoons]

It’s the best alien movie since the first. Is it derivative? Yea, but so are almost all horror movies it’s a played out genre. I’m sick of reboots but I am enjoying the expansion of the alien universe. I like what they are doing with the games and expanded universe as well

[@TheOtaxephon]

I'm sorry, I don't agree with Monte's take regarding keeping in-line with previous lore. This movie has a vanishingly small number of its own ideas and the ending was incredibly derivative. The movie is well made but after the first half, it rapidly loses its footing and more closely resembles an episode of Family Guy with its innumerable call backs than an Alien film.

1:09:44. Og WOW sounds like 2 cups 1 cup. 🤢🤮
