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?
No, I didn’t like it much either. Some interesting ideas, but I think I’m starting to actively despise soft-reboots, which too much of Romulus is. I don’t want to be reminded of a better movie with a more iconic lead, and I don’t have the same nostalgia fetish that a good chunk of audiences seem to have.
