Alien Romulus Reaction & Review | October Patreon Pick

[@ElCactus7567]

The Deepfake. The family was involved, and they agreed because the actor really enjoyed his role in Alien and wanted to be in another one, but didn't get a chance.

[@2nd3rd1st]

Great story, it still turned out shit. I doubt he wanted to look like shit after death.

It was such a perfect touch to the script that I can forgive the fact that it looks like a video game. The xenomorph effects were all excellent anyway.

"I'd almost rather be eaten." What's the difference? I'll take the blunt force trauma. Digestive fluids are highly corrosive anyway.

[@Robert_Douglass]

Hydrofluoroantimonic acid, the most corrosive substance in existence, has a pH of approximately -256. THIS shit, that Xenomorph blood, is maybe twenty times worse. You don't even feel it melting you because it dissolves the nerve endings way too quickly. The shock is what kills you.

I feel like Romulus was a love letter to the Alien franchise. It took so many existing elements and mixed them into something fresh, new, and terrifying. I cannot rave enough about the performances, set design, audio design, scriptwriting... all of it! This rocketed into the top three for me, absolutely brilliantly done!

[@orangewarm1]

45:58 This was not CGI, but practical effects. The guy playing the character of the Offspring is a Romanian basketball player named Robert Bobrosczky, he's 7'7" tall. For reference, the tallest female supermodel in the world is Ekaterina Lisina, at 6'10" in height.

[@MrElfyrion]

It reminds and kinda referred to the guy playing the original ALIEN.

The monster at the end is called “The Offspring” according to the production notes. I assume because he’s pretty fly for a white guy.

The 'fossilised' Alien at the beginning, is the one Ripley fought at the end of ALIEN. Didn't you see that these were the remnants debris of the NOSTROMO ? :)

The joke is, Weyland-Yutani already created perfect superhuman robots but they still want to brutally mutate humans into perfect workers and soldiers that don't get sick and don't get paid.

[@JohnnyJohnny-f5o]

@@decepticonsretreat So instead let's make our workforce a bunch of mindless killing machines who attack on sight and you have no chance of controlling lol. Never understood why anyone in the alien universe considered these walking nightmares "the perfect organism"

[@zolahVR]

I think they meant to gave the superserum to adults who then they become immune to diseases and recover from injuries quickly, and they probably pass these abilites to the children. The problem was that she was pregnant. The serum worked, she recovered from the injury, it gave her the upgrades the android promised, however the serum affected the baby that started developing abnormally, because it received the serum as a developing fetus. The scientists didn't have time to test the serum, so the android probably wasn't aware that it would cause this to a fetus.

[@Krisishere]

>Do the little guys have acid blood? (39:38) Yes, as portrayed in the original movie hehe

Fede gave himself an incredible cameo

[@Robert_Douglass]

I was only jump scared once in this whole movie, but what really got under my skin was Navarro's facehugging. That was revolting and disturbing on so many levels.

[@Kamzino01]

The human hybrid was a practical to what a amazing movie

[@eaglescott17]

So I'm not sure if you caught it, but the original xenomorph from the Nostromo secreted the resin stuff and formed a cocoon for itself before going into hibernation. All the other xenomorphs were born from facehuggers that attacked the research team and made the station go dark, then went into hibernation once they were the only living things on the station. Xenomorphs can hibernate for extremely long periods of time, and I'm not even sure if old age is something they die from. The eggs can last for thousands of years, as seen in the original movie, at the very least.

[@nitsugazemag]

The creature at the end was played by basketball player, Robert Bobroczkyi, a 7’7” man. The physical frame was all him. The creature was a practical prosthetic creation. Seeing it in theater, it really grossed and creeped me out. Fede succeeded. Romulus was an incredible addition and expansion of the Alien universe/franchise.

[@kylereese4822]

Rook is Ian Holm aka ASH, Ian Holm British actor (1931-2020)

[@hyperspacey]

I’m very happy they’re starting on a potential sequel to this- I enjoyed it but it’s very much a Greatest Hits version of the first six Alien movies. This level of horror direction with less dependency on the past could be amazing.

[@Thund3rfist]

Rook was not a deepfake as you and I refer to a deepfake, it was actually a practacle effect, they used lifecasts from Ian Holm to build an animatronic, then used digital effects to enhance the facial features like the eyes and mouth movements.

[@jareeohs]

Also!!! I loved this film, it was one of my surprise favorites out of the year.... maXXXine was my favorite of the year... not including the blockbuster Deadpool v Wolverine or Twisters. - - - Yall should do Dolores Claiborne 1995 - Kathy Bates best role and Stephen King's favorite film adaptation. It's a masterclass in filmmaking with god teir level acting from Kathy & Jennifer Jason Leigh. - It's dark and the material is mature. - I loved the book. King wrote the book with Kathy in mind after seeing her in Misery. - - - highly recommend. Danny Elfman does the score and John C. Riley makes a guest appearance. ****** I felt so bad for Kay, the whole film. She literally had the worst day ever. She wakes up and witnesses a creature burst out of her friend. she survives total chaos in a crash, only to see the father of her child die underneath the very personification of Satan's vagina, if Satan was indeed a female..... that creature then crowned out of Satan's vagina and then attacked her. This robot persuaded her into injecting herself with this fluid that would allow for her unborn child to see the sun one day. .... She then goes to sleep, only to awaken to birth this spawn of satan in an egg, then burns through the ship. Crawls back up to feed off of her.... All within the span of what, one hour ???? --- from the time the crash , ring impact, .... she literally had the worst hour and a half of any person in the Alien Franchise.....

[@marvelstarwarsgeek1511]

As you really enjoyed Alien Romulus you should really check out Don't Breathe from 2016 one of Fede Alvarez's earlier films , its a tense , creepy , atmospheric , scary thriller I highly recommend it . 😁😁😁😁

[@heyitsmefadi8024]

“I like how it looks like the alien from Prometheus btw” ooof you don’t know how right u are, there so many theories but one of them is confirmed thru prologues and deleted scenes and scripts, that the android david in Prometheus altered that black liquid in his own way incorporating xenomorph and none other than the ENGINEER DNA so when she jabbed herself with the needle of black liquid it’s the new modified version which essentially she gave birth to 3 species hybrid, a xenomorph, engineer, human hybrid, which would explain the similarities in the appearance 🫣🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 they’re finally slowly bringing back the engineer storyline 👀🤞🏽

[@alexkramerblogs]

The black goo here was reverse engineered from the Xeno from original Alien. As far as we can tell in-universe, that batch of Xeno eggs was much, much older than even the movie Prometheus. So, as of the moment they're kind of parallel elements at play, unless the third prequel ties things closer together more concretely.

[@PossiblyKayla]

Clarus reminds me of Anya Taylor-Joy. Gorgeous 🥰

[@ileamonster]

[@kageyama1083]

there’s never an explanation for why they have different accents but Spike Fearn (Bjorn, the asshole) auditioned in a self-proclaimed terrible American accent and Fede asked him to redo it in his natural accent and ended up casting him for the movie first! also, Kane in the og was British so maybe Fede wanted to keep a similar feel

[@deanthemachine8879]

I was completely onboard with the movie *right up* until Ian Holm appeared and then it just felt like an onslaught of fanservice. All Alien movies are effectively the same plot but through different directors’ visions with a bit of worldbuilding, but this one felt like Fede Alvarez had an idea and the studio or Ridley Scott stepped in to tell him to plug in references. The movie could very much work without all that fanservice shit, but as it stands you could just watch Alien, Aliens, Alien Resurrection, and Prometheus and you’ll have all that this movie gave you

Love the cinematography, sound design, special effect! I agree that get away from her line is a bit too much, but that doesn't ruin the movie for me. Fede also played Alien isolation and has a few easter egg from the game in the movie, such as a safe station from the game. I heard that Ash's actor was supposed to have a cameo or a small voice acting in the game, but he had to refuse due to his health issue. His family said that he loved filming Alien and gave them the permission to use his likeness since he would have want to be in this movie.

[@willmendoza8498]

Such a fun watch

[@paratus04]

41:15 I watched all your Expanse reactions and I was wondering if you guys would have the same thoughts as I did. That elevator scene was straight out of Naomi taking out Diego. I also think there’s some other bits of Expanse DNA in this movie. Making gravity part of the story, and Rooks (Ash) description of why the company wanted the Prometheus black goo sounded suspiciously like why Jules Pierre Mao wanted the protomolecule. I actually really like this reasoning for pursuing the Alien/black goo/ engineers as it elevates Prometheus and Covenant a bit I think.
