Alien: Romulus (2024) Movie Review

[@Weiselberry]

If you'd prefer some more festive content, here's a playlist of Christmassy reviews I've done over the years! kzbin.info/aero/PLgzy2Zy55qWfnm3u8iE0D-sdfMnEuZJKI

[@gpalmerify]

What most your subscribers appreciate (as do I) are your sincere reviews. Too many "reviewers" might be better described as "marketers" for the studios. Your mentioning "Easter eggs" aka "Memberberries" is absolutely accurate along with the copy/paste plot contents. Merry Christmas Jerome!

[@doloresabernathy9809]

it’s amazing that you haven’t aged a day in 9 years! Good review too! Im glad this channel popped up in my feed. 😊

The Picture of Dorian Weiselberry.

[@doloresabernathy9809]

@ haha exactly. One wonders what mischief she has been up to all these years … and what the portrait looks like

[@Michelle-Eden]

On the various pronunciations of the word, Xenomorph: ZEE-no-morph: A space alien who will never discover the true meaning of Christmas; ZEN-o-morph: A pint of pork-fried rice able to turn into a zen master at will.

[@DanKyrke]

Hi JW. Thanks for the review. Yes, this movie is very derivative of previous Alien films, but I saw it for free (and therefore had lower expectations) and enjoyed it well enough. It was better than Alien Covenant at least. Have a wonderful Christmas. May it be your best one yet.

[@Ned_of_the_Hill]

Dear Ms. Weiselberry, Thanks for the thoughtful review. I recently saw "Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim" and that also had way too many references and nods to earlier movies. There's planting Easter eggs for fans, and then there's pummeling a house with crates of eggs. In any case, have a Merry Christmas!

[@sumo0172]

Thank you for sharing this video. Overall I like Romulus. I think it feels more like ALIENS than ALIEN. The final creature was the biggest let down for me. The action and intensity was good. I just didn't care for the creature's design. I agree the references were a little much but hopefully the sequel is less dependent on so much fan service. I am tentatively excited for the overall franchise revival. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@Hum0ng0us]

Merry Christmas!! All the best in the New Year!!!

[@johnpryor2063]

I love when you go into full bore attack mode, because it's so rare. It's nice to see you parcel it out so rarely, as it's effective.

[@Robert_Howcroft]

If only every reviewer was as erudite as JW. Top stuff as ever. Merry Christmas everyone!

[@damianstarks3338]

Great honest review of this new Alien movie. Merry Christmas to you

[@bartolomeuomacduibheamhnad6855]

Happy Sunday :) I saw this recently and agree that it does feel like a copy and paste, there’s so little originality in it, well I guess casting such a young group of actors to play forgettable characters is different from the other films because even when bad those films had some memorable characters, maybe I’m being unfair to David Jonsson because he did do a decent job as Andy. Unfortunately it seems Alien: Romulus has followed the same path as other franchise films like The Force Awakens, Ghostbusters : Afterlife and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice by just filling it with references and lines from the previous instalments and in some cases even including actors who have passed, Ghostbusters: Afterlife did that too. Overall I thought the film wasn’t terrible, i was entertained enough by it but will probably forget everything about the film in a few months. I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on this film and no need to fret about it not being Christmas related because Xenomorphs are much more Christmasy in person : D I hope you and your family have a very Happy Christmas 🎄🌟 :) I love the cameo from XenoTeddy on your shelf for this review. I think he manages to get even cuter the more you see him. ~ Thank you Ms Weiselberry ~

[@Tatkirbologna]

It was just a movie filled with plot holes and member berries. There are two Terminator movies and two alien movies. Life is much easier when you realize that.

[@northmokka]

Having watched this in theaters soon after release (to dodge the spoilers), I felt uneasy and walked out kind of disappointed, without being clearly able to tell what exactly it was that caused that feeling. Thanks for summing up all the issues. You have helped me put things into words, and my hesitation to recommend this movie is confirmed. It's such a pity they never managed to live up to the first 2 movies - they should have kept Neill Blomkamp on board. But that was just one in a long sequence of wrong turns.

[@pistoschio]

Thanks for this great review. I love how nuanced your reviews are, quite the opposite to most YT critics. Happy christmas!

[@opathoris]

When we saw it the theaters we were so disappointed. It was fan service run amok. Side note: There was something wrong with the audio in our theater in the first 3rd of the film. We literally couldn't understand any of the dialog. The heavy cockney accents of the two male leads in the beginning didn't help, but we had no idea what plot development was happening if any. What was clear, Romulus is just a mash up of callbacks.

[@rickpalacio7]

Hi Jerome!! It's been a long time since I've commented as I've been buried underground due to work and life stuff for months. I'm just now getting caught up on your latest videos. This is a great, observant review and I agree with you almost completely on this one. I especially concur with you on the sad tendency of the studios to reference back too much to the classic originals when they create new installments or revive their "franchises" ("The Force Awakens" is in many ways a remake of "Star Wars: A New Hope", "Gladiator II" shares many story elements with "Gladiator", etc.). Maybe even the fact that they look at them as "franchises", with all the mercenary connotations that word indicates, is part of the problem. The only thing I differ with you on and was more okay with is Cailee's character going back for Andy. My understanding is that she grew up with him so she saw him as a brother, so I figured she had years where she knew him with his original personality before the "upgrade" changed him only in the recent hours. I can see why she would have an emotional attachment for the person he was to her all those years and wouldn't want to abandon him despite the recent events. That said, you're right about going back for him being another repeated story element. If it weren't for so many others surrounding it, that too may have had a more genuine impact. Cheers, Jerome, and a Merry Christmas to you and your family!!

[@danbendix1398]

Thanks! Looking forward to the blooper reel.

[@AnthonyWW68]

Holy cow, I SOOO agree with your review. The #1 thing I agree on is how difficult it was to follow. Where are they? Who's in what group? Which ship are they on? Now how did they get there? And funnily enough, I noticed the references, but about half the amount you did. I'm 56 so I saw ALIEN when I was 11, ALIENS when I was 18, and well, I don't care for any of the films after that so I didn't spot the references to those. I did however play "Alien: Isolation" which was an incredible game, and had to smile when I saw references to that. :) Anyway, it was a pleasure to watch your review and know that someone as intelligent as you couldn't follow certain parts, just like I couldn't.

[@russellfarina9099]

Nice review as usual. Without Ripley, this franchise is kinda second rate anyway. Have a happy and safe Christmas. ❤

[@Ruby_Kang]

Hi Miss Weiselberry. I haven't seen Romulus yet. I've been kind of put off by a few clips because the young cast makes it look to me like it might feel more like a teen Alien movie. I will reserve judgement though until I've gotten around to seeing it properly. One to tick off the list. I just want to jump in here and wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thank you for all the wonderfully entertaining videos in 2024.

[@donkelley7407]

Hi there J. Great discussion. I've only seen the first Alien, but I imagine with a franchise like this it must be difficult to balance the original with the familiar. I'm just now finishing the Fargo series, based somewhat on the movie. Lots of references (some call them Easter eggs) to the earlier film. I've discovered about 12 of them so far, but in one case a brief yet violent scene was a carbon copy. I was happy spotting the Easter eggs, but that scene was too much. “Oh, come on!” was my reaction. So, very good points made. Again, happy holidays to you and yours, take care.

[@PaintDryPictures]

I thought the movie was okay, but problematic. You hit the nail on the wall with everything you mentioned. I couldn’t stand the references to the previous movies or should I say movies that would later take place, because they made no sense. I also HATED the ending! It was such a copycat of the first movie’s climax. I would have loved this movie more if all of the characters, even Rain and Andy died and the movie would leave the opening for Aliens. So that’s how I really feel about the film. I wish it was better than it is now. Merry Christmas to you and your family, J! 🎄

[@IAMNationX]

PLEASE dont ever lose this 80s style video, I love it! Film wise im still on the shelf about it. The beginning seemed so slow paced

[@robertdanielpickard]

I liked in the beginning we get to see what day to day life is like at a Weyland Yutani colony/mining town. Other than some bits in Ripley's apartment in Aliens I dont think we've seen what 'normal' life is like for people under the rule of WY

[@AJBell-dh6ry]

Merry Christmas, JW!

[@Paladin12572]

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[@damienfenton3880]

I heard this movie being described as the Alien franchise karaoke, and I think that pretty much sums up the considerable reliance on referencing past movies.

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

I thought it was just a remake of the original Alien only not nearly as good. Everybody in that movie was A list. Why would Ridley Scott approve of this? Besides the money...

[@davidcauley9400]

100% agree on *every single point*. I honestly don't get how they didnt think they were basically ruining it with the copy/paste ethic. It felt like some kind of ALIEN theme park experience. What REALLY annoys me is that clearly younger Gen Z and Millenials will be seeing this as their first ALIEN film..... And the makers just robbed these people of experiencing those ICONIC "history of cinema" moments in their original context FIRST (see also the disgusting line for line, beat for beat lifting of the American Werewolf "Moor" scene in Zack Snyders ARMY OF THE DEAD, a film which also lifts from ALIENS). I genuinely find this an immoral act, stealing choice and iconic surprises from people, it genuinely offends me artistically and ethically. Fede is a GREAT horror director, and I genuinely think he had to deal with including a lot of this nonsense because of Studio Notes and Ridley's demands. The potential is there on screen for a much better version.

[@jaygee6738]

If it's Saturday.. that means another JW video!! yay!!

[@firekind1980]

Jingle Bells. Jingle Bells. There's a facehugger on your face. Have a nice Christmas.

[@billlatham9895]

Spot on review. Recycling overload. Proof of the old adage that a camel is a horse designed by a committee.

[@Kilgore6549]

Overall I liked the movie a lot, especially the aesthetics and the actor who played Andy. One thing that no one has mentioned is why is there a rogue space station captured in the gravity of that planet, which the characters assume is an abandoned space ship? You can tell it’s abandoned from the planet, but you can’t tell it’s a space station?

[@honeyforce996]

Merry Christmas to Weiselberry & all you Weiselers

[@Welles009]

I'm going to start referring to fans of this channel as "Weiselers" from now on.

[@zebradun7407]

Merry Christmas!

[@wkanost]

I’m with you. It was a bit overdone in terms of fan service. I enjoyed the film but speaking as someone who was sitt8ng in a big theater opening weekend in 1979, you’ll never get that mojo back. Not even for ALIENS as it played out. I loved BOTH films but the franchise has completely run out of steam and needs to be allowed to die. Alas, Hollywood doesn’t work like that. They are entirely motivated by money instead of art. When Alan Ladd jr greenlit alien in 1977 or 78, he did so because of the success of Star Wars. ALIEN happened to be the only scifi script they had at the moment. If the only script they’d had at the time was Logan’s Run they’d have made that instead. Unfortunately things have gotten worse. Much worse. Hollywood is bleeding money at an unsustainable rate and the financial demands are the only motivating factors now. No one is even slightly interested in originality. Disney made the John Carter film a few years ago and it bombed spectacularly and with it, killed any hope of another original project being launched. That’s why this film got made. It was deemed safe by the suits and would put money in the coffers. I hate that.

[@tentaclestv2476]

I’m a huge Alien fan and I was really looking forward to Romulus. However the references ruined the film for me. It’s “alien film karaoke”. Took me right out of the film. It’s so in your face and lacking subtly that it shatters the 4th wall. Also, it’s completely predictable. You know exactly who survives from the beginning so there’s no sense of peril and nothing to care about.

[@jaykay01]

Have a lovely Christmas JW!

[@premis5198]

I feel this is the problem with any sequel that keeps going. We need to move on and create new, not keep going back.

[@sergioramdass2856]

Hello. Yes, I saw this in the theater when it came out. I thought it was alright. This is the first solo Alien movie that I have gone to see in a theater. "Alein vs. Predator: Requiem" is the only other movie that I saw in a theater that had "Alein" in its title. Most of your critique I do agree with. Who knows if there will be a sequel. We shall see. I wish you and your family a very safe, Blessed, Merry Christmas!!

[@KIager]

Great review, agreed on all points, except that I probably enjoyed the movie more in the moment when watching it in the theater. As for "what's left?" I don't know, make the sequel about Weyland-Yutani tracking down Andy/Rain for the behind-the-ear chip/a vial of goo, then have an all-out action romp on Yvaga with a bunch of colonial Marines...

[@Ravenscroft82]

Regarding the inclusion of Ian Holm (and I agree with your take on the whole concept), I wondered if you've seen the new Star Trek short that's getting lots of press? I have some specific thoughts on it which I won't share for fear of spoiling your potential viewing. As to this film, well, I've kind of resigned myself to the idea that the Alien franchise is dead, like so many others. They've tried and tried but nothing seems to have worked past Aliens. At any rate, will check out your holiday links, and wish you and your family a VERY Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@dosdes888]

Amazing review! New subscriber here. I'm so glad one of your videos appeared on my feed! I love that you are balanced and don't incline to either side, even though I'd like to think you're based! It's better if you don't directly say what other youtubers you watch/follow... and better keeping it vague. Merry Christmass!!!

[@niallboyle5211]

There's going to be another 'Alien' movie? Will it be a musical?

[@EricWoodend]

I mean if you're going to defy gravity you might as well do it in space.

[@JakobNoone]

Eminently logical, Captain.

[@B3ansGuy]

It sounds like a Star Wars Episode 4 vs Episode 7 situation, with episode 7 copying a lot of Episode 4 and just giving it a nice new coat of paint for newer audiences. Incidentally I never really loved the original trilogy as a kid and the only Alien movies I've watched Prometheus and Covenant so to me Episode 7 and Alien: Romulus really worked and I had a great time with both. Especially since I haven't seen the original Alien movies I had no clue that so much of Romulus was callbacks, so to me it felt pretty fresh and entertaining. I also thought David Jonsson was incredible in this movie, but I agree that digitally resurrecting a dead actor is not cool, even if his family gave their blessing to do it. Great review as usual, it was fun listening to a completely different (but equally valid) perspective than mine

[@niallboyle5211]

Dear Miss W, I'm a supporter of recycling but this movie takes it to a whole new level.

[@buzzawuzza3743]

You caught me off guard with the idea that there was an incest element to an Aliens movie, didn't see that coming.

[@hermitation]

Yes, feel the same. But I was just happy to be back in this world. Don't know what this says about me though..

[@Hum0ng0us]

I didn't like the Ripley line being used as well, but I'm okay with the rest.

[@FrankFurankisanBall]

Very spot on. Nothing original about it and hated that freak alien at the end. Awful. Happy Holidays and be safe.

[@winterburden]

Thanks for reviewing it!

[@charlescameron2177]

Another incisive and (here) brutal review by the Pauline Kael of the Midwest. Thank you for the best movie reviews in the media sphere today. Keep it up, no fear or favor please.

[@DarwinsChihuahua]

That was roughly my take on it as well.

[@nilbob]

merry christmas jerome

[@ziggurat-builder8755]

It was a GenX reboot mashing several films together and stealing lots of scenes, shots and even lines of dialogue. Hated the characters and was happy to see them all be toasted!! Lazy writing - hidden behind flashy action scenes. I love the originals and I’m ok with the prequels. This was a fire sale of the originals. Hated it.

[@juxapostion]

Alien:Callback sooo overated. ...was happy to see you flag up the same issues i had with the film. It wasnt just me:) Anyway, Have a Merry Chistmas Miss Weiselberry.

[@Malan.Joseph]

Great review, Jerome! Out of curiosity, have you reviewed O Brother Where Art Thou? I'm curious to hear your thoughts on it

[@tomjohnson4922]

Merry Christmas to you also. I'm watching Black Christmas tomorrow to celebrate the season. I've never seen it so I think I need to fix it. Christmas Day I try and always watch Alastair Sim's version of Scrooge.

[@benjamindover4337]

I agree the incessant references were grating.

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

Thank you for doing this review, for me this film was subpar over all, not a stand out at all. I want to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas and New Year, all the very best for 2025. Take care and much love from the U.K.

[@szeltovivarsydroxan9944]

It was the only movie this year I took the effort to go to the cinema for, and I was very disappointed lol. 11:39 Not only is it odd that they named him after a chess piece because of Bishop, they also failed to uphold the tradition of naming the android after the alphabetical order (Alien: Ash | Aliens: Bishop | Alien 4: Call | Prometheus: David ... well I guess Covenant already effed it up with Walter).

[@BLASTOWICZ]

Big Jerome Weiselberry fan btw

[@Chrisfeb68]

I saw the first alien when it came out at the theatre when I was a kid. I still remember that night to this day. Alien Romulus just didn't do it for me. The first two alien movies in the series are the absolute best by a long shot.

[@macgonzo]

Just discovered your channel. Couldn't agree more! It's one of those movies made by committee, but the committee is too scared to lose money. They think they have to play it safe, so make 80% of the movie nothing more than nostalgia fodder. When it comes to these kinds of franchises, it seems to be a common refrain. Play it safe. It's an interesting thing.

[@only257]

Good review 😊

[@foursail100]

I enjoyed watching this on the big screen. I found it to be an exciting space adventure!

[@AmishFan]

I saw it in theater. I thought it was nice fan service from the silent opening shot pointing to the tagline from the first movie "In space, no one can hear you scream", all the way till the end. It's just that the movie forgot it was supposed to be scary along the way. I felt nothing.

[@-iIIiiiiiIiiiiIIIiiIi-]

Mmmmm. Fig Newtons....

[@krumbergify]

You don’t have to like all movies you watch although some were recommended by your followers. We want to hear your views, not just validate our own preferences:). Btw, one doesn’t have to enjoy (modern) horror movies, I don’t. I love suspenseful thrillers and they can have elements of horror (like the amazing “Get Out”), but I despise gore.

[@mpulsiveartist]

Merry Christmas to all!

[@defshrimp]

I completely agree with the copy and paste of old scenes and lines. I liked Romulus the first time but did not like it as much the second viewing. It made me kind of mad how lazy they got with the writing. Everybody runs out of ideas eventually.

[@bryan81584]

Aliens has a special place in my heart

[@dannywalsh5608]

you have an adorable voice

[@pariksithnr6021]

Hey, fantastic review as always. Also if you haven't check out the game alien isolation, this film certainly has many similarities with this film and there are a few homages to the game

[@tonydeluna8095]

Merry Christmas to you too Jerome and to your family! I thought Romulus was really well done!

[@EricWoodend]

I kind of hate the acid blood in the franchise, especially when they treat it like it's magic and can burn through several decks of a ship. That is not how acid works, no matter how strong it is. But when it just threatens to kill/injure people (like in the zero gravity scene) it can be cool.

[@mikeazeka1753]

Merry Christmas JW to you and your family. Thank you for all your KZbin reviews and insights. Lately, it seems big movie writers have run out of ideas, ever movie is either a reimagining of a classic employing recently minted woke cliches, a series of tropes strung together, mind-numbing girl-boss impossibilities, and lazy dialogue.

[@justinplayfair4638]

Apparently the previous film references shot up markedly when the film did reshoots. I gotta agree Jerome…while I liked the film, the callbacks took me out of the film, every time.

[@printisdead1983]

Keep up the gulldern top notch work miss lady

[@alandhopewell]

Merry CHRIST-mas to you and your family!

[@mykal.7424]

I liked Alien Romulus , but i was surprised it turned out to be a greatest hits compilation of all the other Alien films . It does have more issues though overall well made , but not great.

[@jamesodonnell3636]

10+ minutes into this review, I think JW is absolutely nailing it. Too derivative, too much obsequious fan service, too much lazy writing, characters not especially memorable... "Teen Alien Squad" or somesuch B.S. (This is not the franchise reboot I was hoping for.) Post-video addendum: I definitely do *not* think the creators of this film "stuck the landing." For my money, the third act is where this whole mess falls apart. Alien Resurrection did it better -- and wasn't half as pretentious.

[@MrMoshmuma]

Could not agree more.

[@laioren]

I always love your reviews. I actually quite enjoyed Alien: Romulus, but I think it's because I had the lowest expectations possible. Like... if a film nowadays doesn't make "anti-sense," I consider it a win. I also liked David Jonsson's performance as Andy. And, I'm assuming the reason that the "he's an autistic android" is supposed to "make sense" is because the bio-androids of Alien and Bladerunner are both supposed to be modeled on humans. And the director, if I had to guess, is making a commentary that the things that humans make can often exhibit the traits of the humans that make them. But that's just a guess. I also liked a lot of the action and visuals. Rant time! But sadly, the era of good storytelling died once J.J. Abrams' nonsensical "Lost" became popular. Even more depressing is that in this post-modern era of marketing-led screenwriting we're getting to see just how many directors of yore were also nothing but "vibe technicians," like Ridley Scott. They just had other people working in the industry that would point out when the emperor had no clothes so that a film that actually made sense would make it to screen. And we just don't have that luck anymore. Also on the plus side for me was seeing the influence the video game, "Alien: Isolation" had on the film. Of course, that's also just one more thing the movie... uh... "emulated." Anyway, great review. And I'm sorry that movies now are all about the vibes and are intended for consumption by people who are doom scrolling on their smartphones. But on a positive note, it does make me have a greater appreciation for all the old timey films your reviews introduce me to. So thanks for that!

[@DudeAbidez]

You have a lovely smile.

[@johnbaca8692]

I don't get the cornbread references unless it's the chin being poked with a finger, or a punch out of a sleeve. This movie was okay, just okay. I love SF, so I have a pretty low bar for enjoyment as long as the science is correct.

[@rustedbeetle]

I found it fairly forgettable as (as you say) there is nothing new, and what is there is mostly a lesser version of the original. The sets, many of the shots, the imagery and sound design are much better than I had anticipated. Each character is generic enough to fade into the background. To me, Andy was the most memorable character, at least while he was Andy and not company bot. I do think that this is the best outing since Aliens, but that is more of a reflection on how little I think of the other films. For me, Alien and Aliens are the only ones I rewatch. The rest never quite found a compelling narrative or characters to being me back.

[@nrgspike]

I had fun when I first saw it, but given time to reflect it has a lot of problems. I think there's potentially a decent, fun little film in there somewhere if you can cut out all the Prometheus nonsense and the egregious nostalgia-bait/member-berries. I might re-edit it someday if I can find the blu-ray cheap enough.

[@drewlotzmoore]

[@TheWorkmansPomp]

I just watched this on the way back from an international flight to America. I thought this movie had the skeleton to be an awesome movie, but ultimately just felt lackluster in almost every aspect and didn’t have enough meat to make it memorable. I really wanted to like it, but ultimately it felt just “ok”.

[@Chiefqueef-]

I agree. I gave it a 5.5/10. Huge disappointment

[@jamesdenofantiquity]

Hello, I hope that you don't mind an off topic recommendation, I keep meaning to send this to you but forgot on the previous occasions. I would like to recommend a movie, here on KZbin, entitled Al Mummia - The Night of Counting the Years. The version that is 138 minutes I believe is the better version. I watched it in preparation of writing an article and I really enjoyed it. It is a bit slow but the movie is not about horror. I may have another, I'm not sure how you feel about a more recent war movie. It's entitled Lebanon - tank in a field of flowers for the poster - and available on Prime. I thought it was great, but it may not be your cup of tea? I'll leave that to you.

[@JimmyDawson1013]

NO WAY, YOU DID IT! Haha, thanks!!

[@Warp75]

I didn’t hate this I just thought it recycled everything before & it was bland.

[@dragdragon23]

I liked the movie, but I was one of the first people to mention how the guy who all this together going to make the next movie without any parts from the other films? yes, they want him to make the next movie and I think he might not able to do it, I am hoping he can.

[@Welles009]

Did your mom fall asleep while watching the movie, or before you started it? That's some pretty important context. 😆 The constant references to past movies were so grating. That's the main thing that frustrated me about the movie. They throw all this stuff in that's supposed to appeal to fans, but they get the series lore that fans actually care about wrong. You can now get attacked by a face huger, impregnated with an alien, and give birth to that alien all in about 5 minutes? Seriously? There's a lot to like in Alien: Romulus. The use of practical effects was great and there are some genuinely compelling set pieces in the movie. The highs were high and the lows were low, which averaged out to a pretty mediocre film that I likely won't ever re-watch. Just like the last 4 Alien movies.

[@Hum0ng0us]

Prometheus is mostly all stuff that they had to cut out of the original Alien due to budget and time.
