Alien: Romulus (2024) - Alvarez
Quick thoughts after viewing:
-Rehash of the first from the set design to plotpoints. But not as good or as effective. It gets grimyness right but nothing really memorable.
-The cast is too young. It feels like kids playing dressup.
-Facehuggers are rubbery. The first Alien came out 47 years ago and it has more realistic looking practical effects? How?
-Xenomorphs not menacing or scary enough.
-What they did to Ian Holm is a travesty
-Thoroughly PG-13
-I never thought I'd say this but I miss Ridley Scott. However trashy and incomprehensible Prometheus and Covenant were, they were superb entertainment.
