Back to the Good Old Days - Alien Romulus Trailer Reaction

I do believe Jay’s Xenomorph was already featured in Space Balls… “Hello, my darling, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal…” It even had a hat.

“If you’re gonna get Xenomorphed, you might as well get as many as you can in there”. Just use the Clown Car method on your body when it comes to Aliens.

[@ZakhadWOW]

as someone who was in high school and saw the first teasers for this show on some weird sci-fi movie show, I am applauding the brilliance of recreating some of the original trailer including the way the word Alien gets formed bit by bit. SO EVOCATIVE.

[@EclecticMuse4]

That was just a well done trailer. Very well done. Can trailers get an Oscar for Best Sound Design?

How about for best sound design and visuals?

Jay talking about his xenomorph is bringing back the diner scene from Spaceballs.

[@nunadelong9671]

Reminds me of Godzilla (2014) H.A.L.O Jump Scene. Almost 2 minutes with no dialect, but still so intense & powerful. That’s ballsy cinematography.

I'm sooooo looking forward to this movie! I think we've all earned a good Alien flick since 1979. Granted, I wasn't even born yet and I was way too young to be watching those movies. But I can't freaking wait!

[@imaginalex5850]

The creativity is very good in this one, from using the powerfull lamp to show what's up in her ribcage to the facehugger's anatomical details / action and special mention for 0 gravity acid blood floating in corridors forming deadly webs, someone passing through this would be wrapped into acidic blood and possibly cut into pieces if you can't control your movements in absence of gravity

[@eberwald4438]

Of course Jaymorph would have a little hat, but, which of Adamorphs mouths would be GAMING THE SYSTEM, BAAABAAAYYYYY?

[@embrown1442000]

A return to form for the franchise.

[@literalsarcasm1830]

"Xenomorphed" is my new favorite adjective.

[@jaymac7349]

A proper Alien film with suspense and horror. Fede is in his element! Can’t wait!

[@AnythingGeeky]

The end of this is madness and I love it

[@LordLOC]

So, Fede Alvarez played Alien: Isolation - and got the idea for this movie from the game. If this movie turns out to be an actual Alien: Isolation adaptation, that's freaking awesome. If not, it still looks incredible. The visuals look absolutely amazing and going back to the horror roots is just awesome. Especially from the director of the Evil Dead remake, I mean come on.

[@EclecticMuse4]

my sister has played Isolation and is like haha we're all going to diiieeee

[@LordLOC]

@@EclecticMuse4 I had major technical problems on PC playing the game, and I never went back. Got about 5 hours in I think, I might pop back in and see if it runs ok these days. One of my cousins actually played Isolation in VR when a mod came out supporting it - she DID NOT ENJOY IT lol

[@EclecticMuse4]

@@LordLOC oh no! I'm sorry you had such a poor experience, and RIP to your cousin. 😂 My sister said she could only play in about 30 minutes bursts because it was so scary to her, and also so frustrating because the xenomorph could hear EVERYTHING which made it incredibly difficult to get to save points. But she said the atmosphere and vibe was immaculate and that if Fede really is adapting it then we are in for a hell of a ride.

[@clarissa182]

First, I LOVE Aliens. It's one of my all-time favorite movies. Alien 1-3 is a great Alien trilogy for me. After that, with the exception of AVP which I enjoy, I have not like a single other Alien movie. They were so disappointing. Like Jay said, cool idea for the philosophical side, but I did not care. This trailer made me SO HAPPY! I can't wait to see it. And also like, Jay, when I first saw the trailer, I literally said, "I could have gone all of my life without ever seeing the face hugger put it's thing down someone's throat." 🤣I didn't need that visual at all. 😬

[@tombess2673]

Always a treat when y'all react to genre trailers, even if the odds of you seeing it in theaters is virtually nil. Come to think of it, a FIX IT! for Alien: Resurrection would be interesting listening, should you be looking for some synergy later this summer. Utterly unrelated, I'd wager it's too late to get the 'In a Violent Nature' trailer added to an upcoming Palooza, but if you ever tackled that movie on Patreon, I'd join at the highest of tiers. Excellent work as always!

[@starsfell]

Oh man, I'd LOVE to see them do a FIX IT! for Resurrection. I'm fond of that movie because I'm a huge Leland Orser fan and just a sucker for the franchise in general, and I appreciate was it was trying to do, but whew was it not perfect.

I just watched it today and I can't remember the last film I saw that made me jump on my seat or hide in my sweater. so yeah don't want to spoil much but this movie is probably takes the name of ' best sci-fi horror ' and is one of my favorites that up there with Alien's 2.

This movie takes place right before aliens before Ripley and the army came to try to save em. So in this movie we'll get the queen we'll ger quite a few aliens and Nwet and her family before they died

[@LordLOC]

While this takes place between Alien and Aliens, it's a standalone movie with none of the characters from the franchise - though from the trailer it sure looks like an Alien: Isolation adaptation if you ask me. So, Ellen Ripley's daughter looking for her on a space station that just so happens to have tons o xenomorphs running around? Sign me up.

[@alexdean9287]

well these studios were confident in fucking trash like madame web so

[@zippomage]

horror always gets treated this way by major production companies, though. Same with scifi movies that aren't specifically part of a massive IP.

[@reconsoldier135]

@@zippomagebut this is part of a massive ip

[@conflictstar]

Traditionally, yes. However we also need to remember that 20th Century is owned by Disney now and they are alot more strategic with their release schedule in order not to cannibalize their other releases by Disney, Marvel, and Pixar. They might see August as an opportunity to mop up competition without cutting into profits on their other projects.

[@LordLOC]

The movie supposedly only had a 30-40 million $ budget. So even a decent run at the box office bodes well for it making money. And considering Fede Alvarez has said if it does well, he wants to continue this "offshoot" of the franchise and maybe tie it into Aliens at some point (other than the obvious things in common lol)

[@helzapoppin9810]

I don't see anything new or different about it though. Just looks like a rehash.

[@TheSupriest]

The good old days?! This franchise is fubar. Like the Evil Dead reboot, or all other horror movie franchises for that matter. I just hope that at the end of Alien Romulus, the diverse group of kids and the xenomorphs learn to accept each others and eventually, through the power of tolerance and friendship, end racism in the universe. I mean wtf is that? Big hallways to look like Alien Isolation, blue laser (in a hallway?!) to look like the first Alien, a cast that would better fit in a mediocre slasher, etc. Yes, there will be a lot of gore, Alvarez isn't stingy about it, but with nothing else of any significance, nothing to add to the lore, nothing to set it appart from any actual blockbuster bs.

[@jasminelong3234]

Wow... just say you're bitter next time, damn.

[@LordLOC]

@@jasminelong3234 They probably just see a "diverse" cast and think the movie is WOKE and going to push the "agenda", and probably make the aliens trans (seriously I've seen this on X/Twitter, like wtf lol) And it's funny, I've seen "conservative" channels basically bashing this as nothing more than a re-skinned Alien that is "woke" or pushing diversity but Tyrone Magnus of all of them loved the trailer and is honestly excited for the movie. So there's always hope :)

I'm not going to say your mindset is wrong, but I will say this sort of mindset will make it difficult to find anything of quality or if certain standards in your eyes. Sometimes it is best to accept the way things are at least to some extent cause if not, happiness is almost unobtainable.
