There are 2 types of stories that I wish they could have made into a movie. 1. A dark grim film that reflects what happened on the colony in Aliens, a film where we know will be met by a group of inhabitants, who no matter how much they try to survive, they will still meet the same fate.( this movie could easily have several nostalgia baiting) 2. A film where we get to see what happens if Xenomorphs succeed in invading an Earth type planet, of which the movie focus on the war and ending with the last part of mankind trying to escape the planet.

Brilliant movie

[@EllieRaarrrr]

This review reflected my every thought. I was confused when I came out because the movie was beautifully Alien/Aliens visually and the audio was spot on. It had the best chest burster scene in all the movies and Andy was great! However apart from when the first adult alien took the pregnant women, every other encounter seemed to be lacking the threat element that Alien and Aliens did perfectly. Effectively if you are in a room with an adult alien or face hugger you are dead unless you have a crap ton of 10mm caseless ammunition in your pulse rifle which may still get you killed, I’m referring to multiple moments in Aliens or like in Alien a flame thrower which will only bide you time. I mean swatting face huggers, finding a way to remove a face hugger in 5 mins which was previously impossible, aliens being generally crap at getting the job done and a skinny pale AF dick-tongued mother-trucker for a finally? Yes I laughed too. I was slowly putting on my shoes at this point. A sign that I’m ready to wrap this up and go home. [Edited all the mobile autocorrects I just discovered in my comment, oops].

Sir Didley Squat became a hack quite a while back. He blasted out of the gates with his first three films that are incredible masterpieces. But he deeply wanted, apparently, to be too buddy buddy with Hollywood. Coupled with his suffering his own version of George Lucas Syndrome (such as not properly coming to terms with the fact that he is not a gifted 'auteur' storyteller, and needs to stick to his own skillset while letting other talent do their jobs when it comes to the core of the story) AND also being an evident Stanley Kubrick wannabe... these elements contributed to his banality and pompous pretentiousness.🤠

Nah you are tweaking. This movie kicks ass. The dumb character point is valid but unfortunately most horror movies have and always will have this problem, the original alien even had that problem. The whole stealing scenes point is whack because the movie is most obviously paying a homage to the old but gold of the franchise.

@aunbomb Not exactly. I mean they didn’t have to make some sort of wild swing. Just a solid movie that tried to stand on its own merits, and not and not worry about in universe references all time. As I said in the video, pretty much everything in the movie works really well. It’s just the stuff that doesn’t, does a ton of damage to the overall experience for me. But as I’ve said many times before, what really matters is how we all as individuals feel about a movie. In my reviews, I only give my recommendations and opinions.

Sadly we were served this beautiful garbage. Give me a character that can actually absorb themselves into the movie and make something out of it. Give me an alien that just doesnt chase you around a space station. Eh just too much things to ask for. Andy was the only thing keeping this shit together.

[@gensoustudio4703]

Youre saying the characters are "really stupid" but I can't think of them actually doing something "really stupid". Using the electric prod in water - quick action taken in a moment of desperation and the only weapon they had to save someone's life, not stupid at all. Experimental drug was also out of desperation. You're bleeding out dying and a supposedly trustworthy individual tells you this drug could be your only hope based on what they know, your alternative is potentially being frozen to only delay your death, in your mind you're dying either way so why not take the chance? We the audience understand its a bad choice and know the consequences, the character doesn't. I'll grant not moving out of the way to make sure its dead when theres a spike, not the smartest, but they guy wasn't "staring at it really closely" as you say, nor had he been looking at it that long at all, he actually backed up after just having attacked the thing. And no, nobody in the movie saw the alien get in that cocoon. The people on the ship only saw it as a small creature, and then later find the cocoon on a wall, they had no idea what it was at that point. The characters are 100x smarter than any in Prometheus and Covenant and most all of their actions make sense like the characters in the original Alien movie. It also makes sense a band of young adults from a mining colony would make some unwise decisions in an unfamiliar and dangerous environment. You can call them bland or have poor development but I dont see how they're actually stupid. Also removing the facehugger was explained very well in the movie, they used cryogenic spray to freeze it and weaken its grip on her.

[@reviewbomb85]

Ok. I had to switch to my computer to type all this out. So, using the electric prod, maybe have been a move of desperation. That doesn't mean it wasn't a stupid choice. Secondly, Rain specifically said, when Andy offered Kay the goo injection, " Stop. I don't trust this. Don't do it." Third, Homeboy was starring closely at the spike. He even walks up closer to it to get a better look at what it is. And I would like to also mention that he just let acid drip all over him, instead of rolling out of the way after the first drop hits his skin. And that same guy did know the Aline was in the cocoon, because on the ship, he grabs Kay, covers her mouth, and points to it. Indicating that that is where the Alien is. True he may not have known that a full grown Xenomorph was inside it. But considering he figured it was at least the monster that burst out of his girl friends chest, sticking your face as close as you can get to an ominous looking spike is a dumb thing to do. Using the Cryo-spray was used to loosen the tail. But they fingers of the face hugger also have large inward facing hooks, that would be incredibly hard to get off. They just lift gently, and it's not problem. Are they smarter that the Prometheus and Covenant crews? Possibly. I really don't remember. But I don't think that is really relevant to this movie. Anyway. Thanks for watching the video.

[@gensoustudio4703]

@@reviewbomb85 Rain is another character that says she doesn't trust it, that makes sense for her character but she isn't in the quandary of taking it. She also tells Kay to "take this" to the ship, so she may not have trusted it but still bought into Rook and Andy's ideas about its importance enough to have it brought on the ship. Also Kay is dying and maybe doesn't trust she will make it so whether Rain doesn't trust the drug or not, she only has Andy confidently saying "it worked on the mouse" and Rain not disputing anything he says and just not feeling right about it. I'm not seeing "sticking your face as close as you can get to an ominous looking spike" that youre seeing in that scene. The scene is in your vid and it looks at closest 6 feet, the tail is shown to have extended out quite a bit too, the guy was way closer, practically hugging it, when he was attacking it. He also didn't "let acid drip on him" he was blinded by the tail and already had the acid continuously dripping on him at that point and was in extreme pain on the ground, he was basically already dead. And here at best you only have one "stupid" character whose actions are congruent as its shown to be part of his character to take risk and make rash and unwise decisions, such as in the smoking and gravity scene, and its the same guy who uses the electric prod in the water. There are "stupid" characters in Alien and Aliens like Brett, Kane, and Gorman. Why did Brett just stare dumbstruck at the Alien? The facehugger was frozen on its back towards the base of the tail, it was a rather large area, its not a huge leap to assume the facehugger was weakened by the cryo spray, it even behaves as such in the film. What Dallas says doesnt really factor in this situation. Also it wasn't "gently lifted", it cut to a side view of them lifting it off after the fingers were already detached from her head.

The movie would have been better without the second ending. Characters were dumb that made it fun to see them die, especially the one looking at the spike sicking out. He was annoying. But one of the things that rubbed me the wrong way was how the Xeno gently catches her and then slowly brings her to him. It took me out of the film.

Couldn't agree more with everything you said and especially about Andy/David Jonsson! But, I can see watching the first 2 acts of this film again. I enjoyed it more than most anything after Alien 3, which, granted doesn't mean a whole bunch but I'll take what I can get. I know that kind of thinking is the issue with legacy sequels but if they can manage to actually kill the past and try something new, it usually doesn't work financially/critically but when they do the same, it will usually make money but be derivative, member berry trash. Oh, Hollywood: still can't get out of its own way, Hilarious review! I really enjoy your channel!

The movie basically conjures up stupid missions so she can play the hero. Ripley wasn't a Hero or cared to be one at the beginning. She was plain & afraid as any normal person. It was only her care for the child that ignited her. As the audience even we felt yeah for a moment we can fu to our biggest fear if something so precious is on the line. There is nothing precious in Romulus. Nothing & nobody was worth saving.

The worst part of this movie was it got my hopes up in the first third (maybe quarter), the absolutely fantastic set design, the lack of horrendous green screen, good lighting, the cool world building showing us what a working space colony looks like, the spooky atmosphere, aaaaand then it proceeds to flush it all down the drain.

What really bugs me is why can’t they just use this black goo in something else? You know? You’ve got already a sci fi horror element there, why mix with it another? It takes the horror away from the Xenomorph for me, because what made Alien so good was it’s horror of the unknown. Complete nobody’s stumble upon something that they really wish they hadn’t. I just think we’ve completely lost Alien. It’s dead. For me at least, after this movie. I’ve completely given up on Alien. I’m a huge fan but I won’t be supporting anything else in terms of movies now. It’s being made by people who don’t know what they’re doing anymore. The movie was so forced and lazy, I was fed up with it half way through and I couldn’t even care about Andy that much because the rest of the characters I hated for how dull they were. And just god, why are they so young? That little teen is a pilot? Yeah right. 🤦‍♂️ lol It’s not made for people like me and that’s fine, I guess but I’m fed up with these type of movies.

[@robertc7072]

Exactly. And what is it that we have to have such young actors in these movies now as well not to mention they are always having to be so politically correct. Make sure you have the Black Man, The Asian, The Hispanic, The White, The Aussie ect ect ect. Oh and don't forget the Boss babe who's always smarter than the Men because the Men always make bad decisions and act like fools. None of them can beat the original because you developed a connection with the characters. They never overplayed the Alien because sometimes what you don't see is scarier than what you do. Because this one sucks so bad I think I will watch the original again just for the hell of it.

I'm a huge, long-time fan of the franchise I've come to realize, this wasn't made for me. I didn't care for most of the cast, but I can get past that, What bothered me most was the beat down of fan service. I was so frustrated by the end of this movie. From the uncanny valley CGI bringing back a dead actor, the out of character lines that were shoe-horned from previous films, to recycling the climax of Resurrection with the New Born (which I have hated for 26 years)...The constant recycling all pulled me out of this story. I was just depressed by the end of this, with the thought that all we have left is to recycle even the bad ideas. But again, this wasn't for me, the person that would feel this as an unabashed, unoriginal retread. It was an effort by Fede Alvarez, Ridley Scott, and Disney, using a Gen Z cast, to keep the property and all of the older movies, alive. The original movies...good or bad..were always a way to launch new, innovative film-makers. This was just an attempt to make sure the money printers don't stall. I would have completely enjoyed simply a well-done, stand-alone movie, that had compelling, well-developed characters, set against the backdrop of the Alien horror aspects. No problem with that. It doesn't have to take the big swings that Prometheus did (which I liked) for long time fans to enjoy, as long as it is well done. I just don't want to feel pandered to.

Alien Ridiculous: so glad I did not waste my money nor my time, attempting to find out whether this latest incarnation is going to be any good, or not. Despite really and seriously wanting it to be as good as or nearly as good as the last sequel (Resurrection), I must confess that my initial apprehension (or doubt) was justified. Not very surprised either, if I am honest. What sets major IPs in the Sci-Fi genre apart is the quality of the authorship, first and foremost. If and when that is then expertly, immaginatively, and originally transformed into a true-to-the-lore movie script, can this then be moulded and shaped by an equally amazing character team. Then the magic of world creation, and set design and all these elements (such sfx and CGI etc) can be brought to bear. If this process is reversed or in some way compromised, (by cheap and lazy writing, contradictory story lines, and dumb plot points) then you will not get anything worth writing home about. It's just another mediocre, wanna-be title, like so many others like it, coming out of the vacuous and superficial stable of such clones being dished out of HollowWood - to a consumer base that willingly and happily laps up meaningless stories, boring and shallow characters, and wants to simply enjoy mindless gore and violence - perhaps escape reality in the form of a few jump scares. Does this movei suck? A better question to ask is why are they so intent on destroying the very premise of the original Alien which is a timeless classic? It's a farce.
