Went into this movie feeling like I didn't ever want or need another "Alien" sequel. Ended up really enjoying it.

While I’m not a die hard fan of the franchise and I have only seen the first 2 Alien movie, I’m a huge horror fan who adores Evil Dead and Don’t Breathe. This is easily my favorite horror movie of the year so far.

Dude…🤦🏼‍♀️. Answer me this…where did the facehuggers come from. One Xenomorph cocooned in space doesn’t 20 facehuggers make. Why were they do desperate to find the Xenomorph in space if they had facehuggers? The could have just made one. So throughout the movies Weyland Yutani have been trying at all costs to get an alien right…so they abandoned a space station with a bunch of facehuggers on it to crash into a moon without doing anything about it? RIGHT. TOO MANY HOLES. WHO GREEN LIT THIS? Especially the ending…just so awful. I don’t even want to watch it again. Not even the first 2/3. Who the fuck read the ending and didn’t say anything about Resurrection and how it wasn’t a good idea? I feel confused, dirty, and angry. Such a good idea only to completely Game of Thrones the ending. I can’t even begin to explain how much this sucked. I couldn’t enjoy it because I kept falling down huge plot holes in the script. Love also how every idea they had worked. I was so looking forward to this. I’m so disappointed. All I need to know now is how much weed do I need to smoke to forget this huge turd of a movie. No wonder why Jim Cameron didn’t say anything. 😫😭🤦🏼‍♀️

I adore this movie and immediately wanted to see it again before even getting up from my seat. The audible gasps in my showing when THAT scene happened...that sequence will stick with me for a long time. Also, I'm one of the few I think that was stoked on the controversial character addition, questionable effects aside. To see my boy meddling again was a treat.

I saw it yesterday and had a good time. I have been a fan since the original Alien movie in 1979. I had no problems with the Easter Eggs paying homage to previous films. When the line was said, that you spoke of, the audience I was with applauded. Go figure. I clapped too. I was entertained, that’s all I ask for. 👍🏾

I mostly agree. Coming as someone who just loves Alien & Aliens and is either pretty indifferent or hated the sequels, Romulus came close to reaching the heights of the first 2 and when it feels like Alvarez was at the wheel, it’s awesome but when it came to the callbacks, which usually don’t bother me when utilized well, felt like studio notes and kept it from fully reaching greatness. I get pleasing the fans and going back to basics was the right approach, especially after Prometheus and Covenant tried to go for a philosophical route and IMO didn’t work, but it does limit the film a bit for me. Also the 3rd act didn’t really work for me, just reminded of Resurrection, which was dumb then and it was still dumb. Still its a very good movie.

Started well. Loved seeing the mining planet. The world was presented really well. Thought Andy, the android was excellent too. Up to the middle of the film, it was standing on its own two feet and i was enjoying it, but the second half paid far too much homage to the previous films and it slowly fell apart for me, especially with the final scene. I appreciate that they incorporated most of the lore that has been set in the Alien world, i just wish they had more balls to create their own story in it, rather than relying to heavily on emulating previous films. Look what Cameron did with Aliens. He totally respected the first film, but made his own vision without relying on what made the first Alien great.

I’m a HUGE movie enthusiast especially horror movies, aspiring business owner and actress. I’ve already watched 27 new releases in the movie theater this year including Alien: Romulus which was one of my most highly anticipated movies of the year. It now has surpassed Dune 2 as my favorite movie of the year. I would highly recommend watching it in IMAX or RPX. This was another good movie review. ❤❤❤❤

Just came home from this movie. Not a big horror fan but definitely a sci-fi fan, I just watched the franchise for the first time last month, my favorite is Prometheus. I really enjoyed this! In many ways it’s familiar but definitely has original ideas, great use of cool new gadgets (is gravity a gadget?), and a cool cast led by the amazing Cailee Spaeny. And yes, the thing at the end… yeah, I’ll have nightmares.

Two of the greatest actors whose greatest talents lies in being able to pace to the storyline of a movie from start to finish would surely has to be Robert de Niro and Jack Nicholson. Here the 7th house is accentuated. 7th deals with the outside world world where we interact with others in an even rhythmic pace. Just think of Robert de Niro. Vall his roles depict the rhytm of life. Even when he does eventually go into a tangent, he is expert in building up a climax like Cape Fear when started as a family friend. For films where he is pitted with great odds like Raging Bull, a melodious and rhythmic free n rasy background classical music fills the entire (7th house rules classical music. The 7th house rules also death like. Situations but usually can be overcomed too ane syes come out unscathed like The Deer Hunter or in Joker where he plays a bridge between the same audience and the near totally breakdown of a person who slowly became a Joker. But make no mistake. 7th house has its killing moments like Taxi Driver but even in that show, he started out as an ordinary bloke. Jack Nicholson has two shows which has the word Easy in it's title -, Five Easy Pieces and Easy Rider. The former shows how one tackles life and the latter ends in a tragedy. In Chinatown,, it shows how the alley people can con him. Something like a cat and mouse game. Even in the cuckoo show, it was about using a strategy to get outt of asylum. 7th is the 11th or gains to the 9th house of. Archetypes. Jack in About Schmidt plays an ordinary bloke which does not follow any standard archetype (the roles Meryl plays are usually standard archetypes but she adds embellishment to them). 7th house is also 3rd or struggle to the 4th house of gearing your consciousness to novel situations. So Robert plays novel situations which has an element of struggle - even in Cape Fear he puts forth a lot of effort to gain the family trust. 7th house usually excludes period dramas. It covers more the modern world we live in So Anthony Hopkins un The Lion In Winter and The Remains of the Day would not come under this category. Neither his horror movie Silence of the Lamb (7th house has no supernatural elements/ and his role in The Father is excluded too )7th house is about John Doe but who can s care of himself. Al Pacino acting in larger than life characters having to make a momentous decision like in Serpuco is out too nor his relentless pursuit of justice in And Justice Fir All. Ofe to the 7th house and the actors classified under this house.

Huge fan here. Sorry but where did they get the facehuggers? One Xenomorph cocooned in space doesn’t 20 facehuggers make. According to cannon Weyland Yutani didn’t have the coordinates to the downed engineer ship on LV426 until they found Ripley in hyper sleep and she told them. If they had facehuggers why were they so eager to find the Xenomorph in space? They could have just used a facehugger to impregnate a human and boom Xenomorph. The whole movie makes no sense. There are HUGE plot holes not to mention the ending that shall not be named. 🤢🤮. Worst ending ever. WTF was that? An Xenomorph/human/Blade 2 Vampire tongue hybrid. 🤦🏼‍♀️. WHO GREEN-LIT THIS MESS? No fan called out the MASSIVE facehugger hole, or why that woman injected herself with the black goo? Like why? She didn’t know what it was and no pregnant women is going to do that. Which brings us back to why bring back another albino hybrid nightmare when the first one is still bitched about by fans? Cause I can’t find a logical explanation for it. Incompetency may be a good start. Unfuckingbelievable. This whole movie was fucked by the awful ending and massive plot holes. Don’t bother watching it if you haven’t. It’s just a massive disappointment. 😒

In fact out inner selves of the 4th house can be grouped into more than one archetypes of the 96h house. When this plays out in religion. We have an affinity with more than one God. The rishis crafted the Vedas in such a way that as Hinduism evolve over the years, there were many Gods to choose from. But all the Hindu Gods were tied to Brahma of creation, Vishnu the God of maintenance and Shiva the God of destruction And there are other religion God's through rebirths The 9th house also represent the 9 planets and each planet has more than one God has his overlord which is why more than 0 God's can exist You can do a particular Pooja )ritual) to control that particular planet I'll effects or you can do a general Pooja to control all the 9 planets to change your overall destiny Therefore 9t house represents versality and contains the seeds of the highest intelligence - even more so than the 5th house Glenn Close calls Meryl Streep a genius. Her genius is shown by her versality in taking up role The 8th house is more than consciousness if the soul if the 6th house. It is the consciousness if the divin If your 1st house is slightly stronger than the 9th, although you are versatile, you tend to do autobiographical picks. Meryl Streep 9yh house is stronger than her 1st. She domanu roles both imagined And real. But her imagined roles never lose touch of what she stands for - the Lagna.

C- the elevator scene reminded me of the water rising with the sharks in the movie Deep Blue Sea! D- the android was annoying, somebody please suck him out of the airlock E- how many times do we need a creature or the aliens being sucked out of the ship? F- when we left the theater we cannot remember any of the characters names. G- by the end of the movie we were hoping everybody was going to die. H- the best part of the movie was all the cool popcorn buckets!!
