My Alien: Romulus Brief Thoughts! (Patreon)

I will determine in the future if I want to do a reaction to the film for the channel and such, but in the meantime, between time, I figured I'd share my very basic thoughts after seeing the film for the first time last night.

***SPOILER WARNING***

Positives:

-Set Design was stellar.

-Excellent focus on tension.

-Practical effects really shined.

-Story fits in well to the overall universe.

-I enjoyed how they incorporated the black goo.

-Effective jump scares.

-Novel set pieces, especially Facehugger sneak sequence.

-The Hybrid was HAUNTING.

-Solid performances.

-Great new addition to alien life-cycle that remained in theme with original themes.

-Good world building.

Critiques:

-Too many call-backs and homages to other entries.

-The CGI on Rook was awful.

-Felt very run of the mill.

-Xenomorphs seemed less of a focus.

-The Romulus station seemed underutilized.

-Characters needed more room to breathe.

OVERALL: 7.5 out of 10.

Go see it, y'all!
