Alien Romulus - eviltoast

I just watched alien romulus and I thought it was really frustrating. What happened to the lethal face huggers and the older, experienced crew of spaceships that got paid like shit by the company?

Now they are hitting face huggers left and right with sticks, and people just get up after having one over their face.

I didn’t feel like I cared about the characters. They were actually quite unlikeable. I really miss Ripley. She had enormous amount of character, strength and intelligence. What did we get in this movie? They are all super generic.

Just disappointed. How about you guys?

    I enjoyed it for what it was. Maybe it helped that I saw it on the big screen. It’s difficult to bring new life into what is now the ninth in the series. But overall, I thought it was decent, but not great.

    I did think Prey was a fantastic chapter to the Predator series and I saw that at home. That’s how you reboot a franchise.
