How Alien: Romulus SAVED The Franchise!!

[@vyaruz38]

I honestly felt that alien:romulus is a better sequel to Alien than Aliens was, not because I don’t like Aliens (I think it’s a great movie that adds so much world building, fleshes out interesting characters and complex motivations masterfully) but because Alien Romulus bridges the gap between the two so excellently. Through the movie we transition from the claustrophobic horror of Alien while starting to add in the action thriller of Aliens without losing the fear factor that a single Xenomorph can provide. Anyway I totally agree, it was a great movie that glued the whole franchise back together

This was the best Alien movie in quite some time idc. I mean this one was fantastic. The alien baby thing that comes out of the woman is the creepiest antagonist they've ever had.

[@TapiTalk]

I complete agree! It was such a fun experience in the theatre, and I'm excited for more, although I hope they change up the environment for the next go around!

Good job guy

[@TapiTalk]

Thanks dude 😎

[@DtheMan112]

Those calling this a teenage horror film should reflect on how desensitized they are to gore lol.

[@TapiTalk]

lol yeah even if I find it restrained, the gore hits hard when it counts!

I really respect the point of view expressed in the video: for me, the plot could have been fine, if there had been some very easy adjustments to make it more fluid (for example, the fact that the kids can take off from a world totally dominated by WY without that they need some justification: it would have been enough to have the leader of the boys say that he had obtained permission for mining in a nearby moon, but that they would have used the excuse to plunder the station), not to mention the fact that some workers capture the signal of a structure WY, when the company on the mining planet fails. On the characters, I draw a veil: Andy and his sister are not bad, but the rest of the roles were written in a too simplistic and predictable way. Ok, the audience knows what facehuggers do, but they could have done better in using the Asian girl, playing on the expectations not of the audience, but of the characters and taking Purvis from Alien 4 as an example. However, I would like to praise not only the production effort in the sets and in the use of animatronics and costumed actors, but also for the photography and direction of some very suggestive sequences, such as the crash of the Renaissance on the crystals of the planet. If I wanted to average between the 4/10 I would give to the plot, and the 8/10 for the production, I would say that for me it is a 6 out of 10.

Ooo I definitely agree to that first point, did throw me off as odd at the time but given they normally have no where to go i could let it slide. I suppose when it comes to characters provided I found them to be understandable and relatable, that was enough for me, I'm here to watch them die after all I'd rather they focus up most the effort onto Rain & Andy, and give the others little moments to shine here and there, which they did to me! I actually really liked how Nevarro got facehugged, because there's a tension throughout the previous scene on whos going to get it. They manage to escape the chamber but alas 1 happens to get Nevarro instead right at the end, and it sets up David being better timed with the doors later so that doesn't happen to Rain or Tyler. I think this films goal was ultimately to bring the casual audience back into the fold, while throwing a few lore bones to us, so a more standard Alien plot is fine, though I wouldn't be praising it if they did this again for a sequel, they definitely need to change up the environments, but I respect your take & thank you for writing it out, I love hearing different viewpoints!!

[@Toshiro93]

@@TapiTalk It may be trivial to say, but the important thing is to respect each other, especially in divergent opinions.😉 Thank you for your kind reply and good luck!🍻

[@TapiTalk]

Exactly! That's my main goal with this channel, have a good day!

Thanks for the engagement!

enjoyable edits in this vid

[@TapiTalk]

Thanks it was alot of fun making this one!

[@ilabelle1]

A very big pile of steamy poo. Alien has been reduced to a teenage horror movie. They have yet to make a worthy sequel to the first two Alien movies.

[@TapiTalk]

I'd say it's deeper than a majority of teen horror flicks, so I'll agree to disagree about the worthiness, though to be fair I also like Prometheus lol

[@InfinateRadiant]

Yeah sorry guy this movie was ass. Writing and acting was the worst part. Like why tf are these kids with no training able to do all this? And why do I care? Seeing the old ship was the best part of the movie. The creature was cool too. Overall was a massive fail tho.

[@TapiTalk]

I mean they don't do anything that would go against their background, and they explain everything that isn't like having the gun have aim assist? It's fine if you didn't buy into the premise, but it's well setup and given it's the highest grossing Horror film with generally great reviews, it's a massive win.

[@tobias1075]

Lol, it's awful and you cannot defend the poor writing and acting

[@deathmagneto-soy]

The practical effects and visuals were very good but yeah, the writing and acting was pure garbage all round.

[@deathmagneto-soy]

That goofy looking human alien at the end had me in stitches though. I literally burst out laughing in the theater.

[@TapiTalk]

Nah i disagree, they writing and acting are strong points to me! The acting is realistic to the characters and the info they're given, and there's very few writing choices i didn't like, which i do call out btw. What we're your actual problems with the writing & acting I'm curious?

[@alexandervelez9507]

me when i talk about prometheus and covenant. everyone say thank you fede for saving the franchise from ridley.
