Alien Romulus (self.movies)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by 1984 to c/movies@lemmy.world
 

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 more just hated the writing and plot. Couldn't they have said they were taking the androids backup system so as to explain them both cognitively functioning at a high level at the same time. The android should have immediately acknowledged his new directive instead of being told. Why does he say we for a hull breach killing them all especially when he just recently walked around without a space suit. Why is she putting the android in cryosleep? then the plot is so Cliché. oh the ship gets knocked around and back onto the station on the other end so you have to walk through and your invisible to them if your body temp is the same as the surrounding because they can't see the android or tables or such ordinarily (maybe the android is hot or cold but unlikely the same temp as a human). It felt so much like a reboot made to be just different enough but the new young actess is the new ripley. The cryocompound is so frigging strong its cooling down a room one away from its bottle with sealed doors that they usually show in these kind of things as strong enough to protect you from a hull breach on the other side. It was alright but really nothing has been all that great since the first two and this one you really have to turn you brain off to enjoy.
