Synopsis
As they liberate the depths of an abandoned space station, a group of young space colonists come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe. See how movies in the Alien franchise rank according to IMDb user ratings. Director Fed Alvarez sought out the special effects team from Alien 2 (1986) to work on the creatures. Physical sets, practical creatures and miniatures were used whenever possible to help ground the later VFX work.
Andy: The solution for a claustrophobic astronaut is to give him more space
When Rain shuts down the ship’s gravity and shoots all the aliens, all their blood is suspended in the air in long, stain-like patterns. . Zero gravity in real life causes liquids to form sphere shapes instead of breaking up into long, flat pieces like in the movie. The 20th Century Studios fanfare freezes and turns ominous, as in Alien 3 (1992), leading up to the film’s opening scene.
Theme from AlienWritten by Jerry Goldsmith
The logo itself suffers from static and turns green. Featured in Nerdrotic: The Acolyte: Force is Female CONFIRMED? Death of Theaters – Real BBC @MauLer @HeelvsBabyface (2024). Nothing special, many of the really positive reviews are exaggerated.
clichés to add real color to the plot and screenplay
The characters are mostly completely limp and without real character, except for Andy. To be honest, I had no emotional attachment to most of the characters and most of them were just annoying and thick. The film was atrocious at times, seemed to take an age to get going, and relied heavily on the Alien franchise. The special effects were decent enough and the design of the original xenomorph was great, although the face huggers look worse in this movie than in Alien and Aliens.
As a big fan of the originals, I came away disappointed
Don&# I’m not thrilled with the current hype around Romulus, it’s not a terrible movie, but it’s not great either. Whether they’re exploring the stars, escaping dystopias, or making the world a better place, these women are at the heart of science fiction.
