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 just finished it. The fan service ruined it for me, the lines from other movies, the shots recreated, whole sequences plundered.

    I wanted an Alien movie, not an expensive piece of fan art.

    Also the CG on the Rook character was hilarious. How on earth did that make it into the movie?

      The worst part is that all the original stuff in the movie is great but they didn’t have faith in sticking with it.
