Alien Romulus Review

[@mattjazzfan2288]

This movie confirms that my all time favorite sci-fi aesthetic is the look and sound of the low quality CRTVs in the spaceships

[@pixelzgmd]

Lol! Prometheus and Covenant Fans: Not enough Alien! Romulus Fans: TOO MUCH ALIEN!

[@ScarletStarAudios]

As a fan of covenant and Prometheus I actually feel like there wasn’t enough alien in Romulus 🤣 I still really really enjoyed it! Tho maybe the trailer spoiled to much

[@Lionel212001]

I loved Prometheus despite many fans hating it. Even Covenant. I just hope that Ridley Scott gets to finish Awakening with David coming back. I am glad that they used some interesting elements from the lore in Romulus.

[@JaelenBrown]

As a big Alien fan, I’ve seen Romulus twice! I agree with most of your review. Especially Ash-I really enjoyed his addition and didn’t think of it as pandering at all.

[@finalact5302]

"I dont think you walked into this movie actually wanting to enjoy it" Yes! Say it louder for the horror podcasts in the back.

[@StarPlatinumV]

6 people walked out of the theatre I was in due to fear. THAT is an official seal of horror quality. I never had that happen in my generation.

[@ScarletStarAudios]

Wait.. seriously?

[@ChainShrine]

Sounds like a big assumption. If so then they definitely didn’t know what kind of movies these are.

[@LiminalVegas]

I just went old school, and put my hands over my face, peeking through my fingers.

[@StarPlatinumV]

@@ScarletStarAudios Yeah. 4 people in the middle and 2 people toward the end. The film's pacing should win an oscar. It just getting more and more intense.

[@StarPlatinumV]

@@LiminalVegas LOL! I saw plenty of people do that. I almost did so myself.

[@ChrisPTenders]

The word "freaky" really best describes what I love about this franchise. I think the first movie is the freakiest, every movie after just riffs on the freakiness of that first one, like a remix only plus action, plus gothic themes, plus studio interference, plus dark comedy, plus other popular alien-monster franchise. One thing I respect and found captivating about Prometheus and Covenant is how they had their own fresh freaky elements, like existential and skin-crawling kinds of freaky, not like Resurrection's goofy levels of freaky. This movie kept evolving the freakiness of the Ridley Scott prequels while taking it back to the edge of your seat horror of the first film.

[@starcourtfoodcourt797]

Agree with what you said about fan service! It came off way less egregious than other movies. Any fan service in Romulus was done with real love for the franchise being Fede is a huge fan and less of just dangling keys in front of the audience.

[@HauntedHippie]

!!!!

[@kojo7485]

​@@HauntedHippie You had me at "A Horror 🎬 Director has matched my Freak" 😮🎉❤

[@entertainmentwizard2703]

Have to disagree about two iconic lines from Aliens, by using them in this movie they effectively gave them away to a character in a movie that pre dates Aliens and effectively stole them!

[@simonbeech576]

that line belongs to one character only , the iconic ripley

[@simonbeech576]

she should calm down , its an ok movie , but cant touch the original trilogy

[@SennyGamingHQ]

Fan service films hit or miss with me depending on one deciding factor: 1) Was it done out of love for the franchise and to just have a fun film? 2) Or was it done for fear of stepping out of the comfort zone and hoping to tug on sentimental strings for brownie points? Basically, if they just say nah we just wanted a fun movie to reminisce about, I can respect that.

[@kfitz387]

Had a man in my theater genuinely shout “oh hell nah” at that third act reveal, and even better on a second watch! Fede Alvarez confirmed goat status

[@Roseforthethorns]

I legit screamed and then laughed at myself several times and I was in a fairly quiet PACKED theater. I don’t get how people can just. Not make noise at all when watching something like this. Idk. I loved it.

[@Roseforthethorns]

This felt like a love letter to a series FROM a fan of the series. Like. I felt the moments of allusion and reference were earned for the most part!

[@Roseforthethorns]

17:46 oh and with Ash/Rook - I saw it as reflecting the fact that Ash was a ROBOT. And the company absolutely would have more of that type model. Also, didn’t they get the permission of Holm’s family? Yeah the uncanny valley was so uncomfortable.

[@arndnaj]

@Roseforthethorns I jumped out of my seat three times. Something made me chuckle but I can't remember what it was.

[@DarthTingleBinks]

I did appreciate that Fede kept it pretty quiet for the most part in space. But he didn't keep it purely silent. We could hear Rain breathing. We could hear the sounds inside her suit. And we could also hear the vacuum of space pulling the air from the ship towards her, which to me feel less like a sound thing, and more like a touch thing. She could FEEL the air being pulled out around her. As anyone who's ever placed their and on their heart before knows, physical sense is heavily associated with sound. And of course I'm not even mentioning the fact that you can be knocked down by a literal sound wave. Except now. I just mentioned it. And that is honestly my favorite use of film sound in a space scene. Using sounds we (or the character) would hear, but also simulating touch THROUGH sound. Which is very cool.

[@derrickwilliams1902]

I like how director played around with the gravity element of the movie. How or where gravity was produced was kind of the elephant in the room with previous Alien movies but really never touched on, I really enjoyed that.

[@aknightofhorror]

I just wish they would have made the last man standing more unpredictable. Along the lines of how watching aliens for the first time. It wasn't obvious that Ripley would be the last one standing.

[@sebraven]

That is true which is what made that movie so good

[@tillermydudes117]

Really? I felt it was very obvious Ripley was going to be the last one standing. But beyond that…I feel like the final girl trope especially in aliens is wild. I understand that it’s like a “tradition” but can we have others either survive or maybe just the android?

[@Yeaster]

Yeah Ripley is a pretty traditional final girl all things considered. She isn't super epic until the sequel ​@tillermydudes117

[@Meatslinger2323]

I seen Romulus, blink twice, and Deadpool in that last two weeks. Great month for movies and more great ones to come.

[@liquidrufus]

Yeah the horror from the facehuggers probuscis forcing its way down your gullet...*shivers*

[@MattDraper]

Great review! I loved Romulus. I thought it was funny how similar it was to Evil Dead 2013. A main character that’s possessed and becomes an antagonist until they are un-possessed for finale. A young woman reuniting with an estranged friend group. Vague past family trouble in a brother-sister relationship. A surprise 4th act showdown with an abomination humanoid. And of course, being made for the freaks!

[@HauntedHippie]

!! It was a mixture of all the best parts of evil dead, don’t breathe, and alien

[@chriscze6153]

I genuinely screamed a few times during the film, I was utterly terrified and on the edge of my seat SO many times. I had a blast, to just enjoy a thrilling horrific ride this movie is definitely perfect.

[@licechrispies]

Absolutely agreed on the sound design. Alvarez really understood how to use silence effectively here

[@whitehorse4318]

What I loved about this movie is all the Easter eggs throughout the movie. Me and my son pointed out all the Easter eggs.

[@sprcrzy110]

Your review got me so hyped to watch it again! You're a great communicator.

[@lH3ll0.]

I know that this is a small part of the movie but the fast beats in of the scenes (i forgot which one) were so good it genuinely made me anxious and stressed for the characters

[@roysavageanimations5489]

I can tell Fede was influenced by Alien Isolation, every time I see the movie, I see a reference to the game.At this point I’m rewatching it just to look for more Alien Isolation Easter eggs. It’s not a bad place to draw inspiration from, at all. It’s the best thing to come out of this franchise since Aliens, and to be honest, the game made me scream a few times. Plus I love how the Xenomorph adapts as a hunter. *SPOILER* The Xenomorph grabs Kay by impaling her, but in doing so, causing her to lose blood, making her unsuitable for embryo implantation. This same Xenomorph grabs Rain in the elevator sequence, but notice how it doesn’t impale her, it learned from its mistake. It’s the depiction of the alien’s intelligence that I love.

[@CyrissSmith-w9t]

Ranking the Alien and Predator movies from worst to best. The Predator (2018) Alien³ (1992) Prometheus (2012) Alien Covenant (2017) AVP (2004) AVP Requiem (2007) Prey (2022) Predators (2010) Predator 2 (1992) Alien Resurrection (1998) Predator (1987) Alien Romulus (2024) Aliens (1986) Alien (1979)

[@RHYNOX27]

Honestly just wished there were a couple more scenes with the characters before they went up e.g. 1) After Rain finds out her contract gets extended, we see her day-to-day before her ex, Tyler, calls (Instead, the call happens after she walks out and helps Andy from the bullies) 2) After the mission brief, Rain goes home to pack what she needs and/or they all have one last meal or something before they take off (Instead, they seem to leave immediately) Also, fun fact: they recorded all the audio on tape to emulate the sound quality (especially screams) in the 70-80s

[@babytoshiro7014]

I wish for more on the planet too but I still love the movie

[@johnt84]

I appreciate how you geek out on reviews. Fede Alvarez's style usually hits for me bro definitely understands intensity. I can't wait to see this.

[@twisted_fo0l]

Alien probably has the best power level for their main monster. Like, if your un armed or just unprepared, you are just fucked. Boom, horror. Characters get armed and are in a good position? Awsome action. Characters run out of ammo? Well, your back to horror

[@RealBradMiller]

Silly hat falls onto Aliens head. Well, now we have a comedy folks! 😂😂😂

[@doctorstrange4868]

I have never understood why fan service is always seen as negative. Fans spend the most money. Can't ignore the fans. I loved this movie. Glad you did as well!

[@jamesmiller7367]

I completely agree with you on the fan service aspect. I don’t get whatever everybody is complaining about. I thought the fan service in this movie was executed perfectly. I’ll give you that the CGI cameo could have been better. I gave this movie a 4.5 out of five. I was not a fan of the design of the antagonist, for the final showdown. You need to watch Prometheus. There are some things that you won’t understand in Romulus until you watch Prometheus. This director is masterful at remakes and sequels. We need him to put in some work on other franchises.

[@patricklauer4452]

Romulus freaking ruled and I hope we get that crossover movie between this and prey:D

[@skdee1013]

I totally agree! Alien Romulus has quickly become my favorite horror film of the year.

[@rogerbowen5753]

Hello! Been lurking for a while, but, I just watched this movie on DVD and thought I'd swing by after watching your review. I feel that this movie is just the return to form the franchise really needed. I agree with you about the fan service nods to previous films, I really liked them. It was great to see the 79 designs carried over into the overall look of everything, it really made you feel at home. I also got real Alien Isolation vibes from the space station and thought the Xenomorph design borrowed a bit from there too. While Cailee Spaeny may not be Sigourney by any stretch, she was the final girl for this generation and I still really liked her character. Bringing back the A2 android in the shape of Rook was a nice touch to me and on my TV I didn't think the CGI was that jarring, perhaps it's different in 4K. Anyway, loving the channel, keep up the good work!

[@sprcrzy110]

It's my favorite movie of the year. I'm going to watch it tomorrow for a third time. It captures everything I love about space horror. I agree that they used the Xenomorph's blood to the fullest effect. The facehuggers in that one scene even reminded me of the Tremors from Tremors 2. I loved it!!

[@jwnj9716]

I'm 50/50 with this one. I really liked David Jonsson's character Andy. I wish it was just about him. Looks like he's involved with Stephen King's The Long Walk. Great, I'm ready. The other characters didn't do it for me. Huge points for the production design. Who knows, maybe it will grow on me. Hey, I'm one of the few who likes Alien Resurrection despite its flaws. Overall, good job with the review. And yeah, I avoid trailers as well especially if I'm a fan of the director.

[@MrSeedi76]

I liked Resurrection too. In fact I liked all Alien movies so far 😊.

[@robj577]

Finally somebody gets it!!! I couldn't believe the reception of this.... It's not like they did a copy-paste, this was a well crafted addition to the franchise and a course correction back to the horror

[@NightOwl_30]

Fede is a huge fan of Alien Isolation, and it showed.

[@atanamorell2]

Old OG fan here. Alien: Romulus was good. If you enjoy the franchise, it's a great film for the theater and worth the ticket price.

[@baileytate3938]

This was everything that i had been wanting from the Alien Franchise. I have already seen it three times.

[@Mr49r1681]

Glad Fede and Ridley tied a number of things together between Alien and Aliens with much love into details and practical effects after seeing it two times.

[@dreamshell.121]

So satisfying watching someone share my disdain for the crybabies that love to hate on this and the newer alien movies

[@peterstachura8595]

As a HARDCORE Alien fan (was supposed to be my very first R rated movie that I was going to watch with my dad & uncles back in ‘79) I REALLY liked Romulus!! Yes, I had a SLIGHT dislike for the amount of the call back lines (mostly just towards the end) but the only other thing that I wasn’t all that crazy about was the rebirth but I’ll take it over Resurrection’s every day of the week and twice on Sunday! There were also times where Rook looked WAY too CGI-ish for Ian Holm but other than those, Fede knocked it out of the park!! He has the keys to the Alien kingdom for as long as he wants em!! I saw it on the Monday after it dropped on IMAX and I plan on seeing it again on IMAX!! I also didn’t mind Alien 3. I know a lot of other hardcore fans don’t really care for it, I didn’t mind it. I remember leaving the theater thinking “That was DARK and FUCKED UP!!!” Lol DEFINITELY the best Alien movie since Prometheus!

[@arndnaj]

I jumped three fucking times during the film. I loved it!

[@terryburke1489]

The biggest surprise for me was how well it tied in a lot of broken lore. Prometheus and Covenant felt so removed from the series and Romulus took the time to rope them in. Fantastic movie, the fan service dismissals are just lazy bandwagon bullshit.

[@terryburke1489]

@@jordanjohnston655 Most criticism is legitimate when there is thought behind it, but in the Romulus case it felt very knee-jerk since it came hard and fast on day one. Having seen it a few times, I think the choices they made of what series references to include enhanced the themes they were presenting in such a way to not make the callbacks cheap. Emperor Palpatine this is not.

[@HeroesKey]

I have never seen too many of the Alien movies but I can understand why they are iconic. Appreciate the review and I'm happy you liked it! Thank you for another review!

[@HauntedHippie]

Thanks for watching!

[@DarthTingleBinks]

In regards to the Ian Holmes situation, not only did he serve a purpose in the story, as you said, but it was also his widow who okayed it. You know, someone who literally knows him better than anyone else? I think that's fine. I've seen some people respond to that fact saying that a great grandchild who didn't know them shouldn't be able to sign off on something like that for money, but... While I agree with that, it's also irrelevant, because it's not what happened. I'm not in a relationship currently. But I'd assume that if I ever got married, that I would think that my spouse would be able to speak for me after I died because they will have known me that well. Of course I'd also expect them to demand a higher quality of deepfake, or just use purely practical effects to replicate my face, because I wouldn't want to be artificially resurrected and be in the uncanny valley. Edit: I am pretty sure that they did use an animatronic as well, but they definitely deepfaked its entire face.

[@LiminalVegas]

One of my siblings likes this series. Not that much of a fan myself, although I liked Prometheus, and the ideas explored in that series. Body horror really isn't my cup of tea. In any case, the visuals, especially the outer space stuff, those planet rings specifically, were...stellar. After thinking about the movie for a few days (it left an impression for sure), I realized that the movie was a testament to human ingenuity, as the others in series. And it was difficult to ignore the class dynamics of the movie. These characters, essentially everyday working people, got a glimpse behind the curtain, so to speak, and saw the machinations of a conspiracy. Nice review. Like hearing your thoughts. Hopefully, the channel covers the Salem's Lot show on cable?

[@DrDetfink]

I was thoroughly entertained as well. The chemistry between Raine and Andy was touching. Having said that, there is a difference in fan service. Deadpool & Wolverine gave the fans everything they wanted to see that the studio said, would never work. Example, 24 yrs ago the studio had no faith in Wolverine wearing his mask & costume. Deadpool & Wolviner finally did it and Hugh Jackman looked iconic in it. Alien Romulus paid homage to a lot of things we’ve seen and/ or dialogue we’ve heard before. 🤷‍♂️ Not a deal breaker but it didn’t take any risks.

[@digitalbridge]

I loved Alien Romulus in Dolby. My fillings are still shaking.

[@poeticnation6251]

Awesome review, breakdown and analysis (I just joined your channel fam). I 100% agree with your assessment. Alien: Romulus is phenomenal, I'm so hyped to see where they take the story next with the survivors. You have an amazing personality by the way (Very refreshing to see someone reviewing/reacting who's actually an authentic person).

Kylie, I like your video on Alien Romulus. Is really good. Fede Alvarez is a good director. Who did a good job with. Evil Dead and others. As I die hard Alien fan.

You hit the nail on the head for the CGI on the controversial character. From a storytelling perspective it completely made sense, but the uncanny valley of the CGI was so distracting. Otherwise this movie was damn near perfect! Absolutely perfect tension and suspense.

[@mrspiderhead8794]

Supposedly the thing that looks like bad cg was actually done with an animatronic. Maybe they added CG over parts of it, but if so then fingers crossed we might get to see it without the CG some day if we're lucky.

[@HauntedHippie]

That’s just so hard to believe but I hope so

[@beatrizmagalhaes9963]

I absolutely loved this movie as well! And you just made me want to go rewatch it

[@casualblogger3810]

I mean yeah I had fun with it but it’s a little safe and afraid to move out of the shadow it’s living under, namely the legacy of the first two films. It’s too reliant on fan service and thin characters to carry a story that’s already been done better decades before. It didn’t have much of a voice beyond nostalgia and I’m really getting tired of legacy films retreading instead of innovating. Still, I’m glad it’s doing well and I didn’t hate it for what it is. Glad you enjoyed it though! Your reviews are always insightful.

[@victorvyim]

Omg you are so on point! I love the setup with alien romulus! There's good acting, expertly crafted props and CGI, virtually everything were created with a purpose/reason in mind and there's resolution to each of the setup. Though I would say there might have been some pacing/logic issues with it, for example, when the aliens close in, Rain and Andy even have time to talk about their old jokes... Which is a bit weird. Also, Rain told Kay to go back to the ship by herself.. That was a bit forced, I mean she was so badly injured and everything, at least send her back to the ship first.... But overall, it's still a great movie of the year that you can't miss!

That's the first time I've heard someone say that about Dolby vs IMAX theaters, but I totally agree. In fact, I've thought for years that the Dolby theater I go to in Kansas City is noticeably better in sound and picture quality than the IMAX across the lobby. The low end in a Dolby theater is unmatched, for sure. I believe every seat has its own subwoofer.

Always nice to see someone else appreciate an unfairly (imo) maligned movie like Covenant. I’ve loved it since day one and love it more and more with each viewing. It really is an old school mad scientist movie but done with huge amounts of resources with a dash of Alien goodness thrown in.

James Cameron's 1986 masterpiece can never be duplicated. It should have ended there.

[@parthoroy9141]

We actually watched all four "Alien" movies back in 1995 for a seminar course I was taking in the Women's Studies department at the University of Florida; it was interesting to regard Sigourney Weaver's Ripley as an "unlikely" (female) hero (for the 1980's, at least), and to pit her up against another formidable female enemy (the Alien Queen); her motherhood relationship with Newt in the second film, and of course her alien "motherhood" in the final film ("Alien 4"). Never had thought about those films that way until that college class

The last review I watched of yours was Cuckoo, and I said something like, "This is my favorite horror movie of the year, but I'm seeing Romulus tomorrow...". Yeah, pretty quick (and easy) dethroning. Like you, my expectations for this were way too high, and it met them and maybe exceeded them. Aside from a few bits of REALLY bad CG, this was incredible. And you should definitely see Prometheus, it's way better than a lot of people make it out to be, and it also ties into Romulus in several ways. And Covenant is okay. Great review! 😀

[@HauntedHippie]

Prometheus is on the menu tonight!!

[@CardboardKitchen]

Agree with most of your review. It was a great film, but for me the downside isn't fan service, but it was how the plot felt like a mashup of the previous Alien/Prometheus stories. Would have been nice to see it branch out a bit more. (Which is more an issue with the industry right now than just this movie) Still thoroughly enjoyed it and looking forward to another watch

[@ScarletStarAudios]

Definitely see Prometheus and covenant specifically are fantastic The gothic mad scientist horror of covenant is AMAZING

[@1992Magnascopics]

Alien:Romulus is probably the first major Hollywood film I've given a 10/10 since The Dark Knight. I do have a few minor issues with it (such as Ian Holm's vfx), but this film is so damn entertaining. I'd say that 95% of the fan service elements are kickass. This is the movie that The Force Awakens could have been.

[@intelligencecycle3523]

Hey Kylie, Solid review as always glad to hear you enjoyed alien Romulus. The main reasons why I'd also like it we're because of Fede Alvarez direction relatively felt stoic, atmospheric and chilling, camera shots and the overall practical effects were amazing. Also the face huggers how they were able to do all these movements crawling, running, skipping & maneuvering on the ship was very creepy & eerie. Definitely agree with you, it was way less fan service than the other previous alien films. They're we're references, lines which directly intertwined with the first two. Also definitely feel at times the CGI did feel a bit distracting. The ending felt a bit too anticlimactic! Otherwise the film is definitely a recommended watch.

[@KazeTalks]

Alien Romulus is way better than Deadpool & Wolverine and The Rise of Skywalker, without a doubt. Visually it’s stunning, it’s very scary and has interesting elements. But it still has stupid callbacks / fan service that were not needed.

[@suemurray2109]

interesting to hear you so enthusiastic about the movie - i feel like this was a remake of the 1st alien targeting a younger audience who may not have seen the original...and when i saw it there were a bunch of 20 somethings in the theater - LAUGHING. all i could think was FAIL for that target audience. lol but im glad to hear you enjoyed it for what it was!

[@jasonbetts6591]

The surprise didn't bug me but I didn't like certain ties to the prior fair , I was hoping this would stand on it's own feet , with a clean break but am going to revisit this material again because the rest of the film is so strong

[@sherwoodjames7999]

I really enjoyed how Romulus called back to the old alien movies, doing the human/alien hybrid from Resurrection and the black goo from Prometheus/Covenant with a more sensible explanation imo. If you rewatch Alien 3, make sure it's the superior Assembly Cut, it's much more thoughtful than the theatrical version.
