Alien: Romulus - 4K + Blu-ray + Digital [4K UHD]

I've only watched it once so far so good. Pretty scary movie. A lot like the original Alien. Takes place about 20 years after Alien so pretty close in movietime. I like it better than the last two Alien movies by Ridley, they always left me with an uneasy feeling, like I just watched something I shouldn;t have watched, especially Covenant. The actors actually play mostly smart and competent parts in this movie. Ridley's last two Alien movies I swear. The people couldn't have been stupider or more incompetent, with attitude also. Sometimes I was actually rooting for the alien to put them out of our misery lol

I watched Alien: Romulus and thought it was a solid addition to the series. It brought back the suspense and horror elements that made the original films so engaging. The atmosphere was tense, and the visuals were impressive. Cailee Spaeny did a great job as the lead, bringing a fresh energy to the story. The film had some intense moments that kept me on edge. That said, it did rely heavily on nostalgia, with many callbacks to earlier movies. While that was fun at times, it also made parts of the film feel a bit predictable. Some of the characters could have been more developed, but overall, the movie delivered on the thrills and scares I was hoping for.If you’re a fan of the Alien franchise, this one is worth checking out. It may not surpass the classics, but it captures the essence of what made them great.

3 1/2 star more like it. Good but the ending so murky spoiled it for me. A little too long for the predictable finish, but otherwise watchable. The two main characters played well by the actors.

Maybe I am just getting old but i love the throwback movies that make me feel like i am back in the 80's and 90's. I wanted to watch watch this before it came to streaming platforms and well after since sometimes I miss movies in the theater but still wanna watch before they hit streamers.

I watched the movie in theater for two times when it was released a few months ago. I could not help to tap my smartphone to purchase it as soon as I learned it was available in Amazon. I am so delighted when I finally receive it. I would like to repeat such a fantastic expense received from the theater at home.I have waiting for over years since Alien: Covenant in 2017. Like all the other fans, I wonder how the new story will turn out, especially how the new story is to connect to the other prequels. The director takes us all by surprise that he simply starts a new story that connects to the first Alien movie back in 1979. Obviously, the director wants a think-out-of-the-box strategy in the new Alien movie to give a astonishing experience to audience. That simply sets him free from all the burdens for facilitating seamless connections to the two prequels. The comments over the two prequels are very extreme, some say they are brilliant but some disagree.In the new movie, it is a fusion of the great ingredients of all the previous Alien movies that makes it one of the great work in the hall of fame in the Alien series. In this movie, there are many scenes and quotes inspired by the other previous movies. They are connecting to each other seamlessly, plus other new elements in the movie, a thrilling experience is created for the audience. It is the movie you should not miss. I hope you will enjoy it as I do.

Remember the first 2 Alien movies? You know: the only 2 in pretty much the entire franchise that can realistically be called "good?" Remember how they had great characters, memorable action and some of the most quotable dialog in cinema? Alien Romulus remembers.For the good, of the six main characters, four of them actually act like they want to survive and, save for a particularly boneheaded decision by one in an elevator, make decisions that believably correlate with the whole "not trying to die in a horror movie" shtick. Said characters also have pretty redeemable motivations (Escape corporate oppression) and maintain just enough interest in their plight to make them likable. Throw in a downright nostalgic Alien retro setting, a few effective scares and the best way to deal with an army of xenomorphs ever and this should have been the movie that proved decisively that this franchise had more than fumes left in the tank. What went wrong?Unfortunately, this movie not only wears its nostalgia proudly on its sleeve but uses it as a crutch for the majority of the runtime. Remember those cool quotes? There here and are lamely spewed so you can point at the screen and say "They said the thing!" Remember how final those first 2 great movies were? This one feels like none of it mattered because sequels got to happen. A good-to-great movie is in here but it seems so intent in pulling a Super 8 gimmick (the movie spent most of its runtime trying to tell me how good ET was rather than make itself good) that it forgets that it should be competing with that quality instead of mimicking it.Final verdict: While the movie drags itself down with awkward callbacks to superior movies and revisiting stupid concepts from much worse movies in the franchise (you'll know when you see it), it rides high on a fun cast with their hearts fully in it and a few memorable set pieces. Should the rental price ever fall below $5, this would feel like a must watch for the franchise as a whole. Just be prepared at just how unthorough the heroes from the best movies were the first time around (how the Xenomorph got there is beyond stupid). At least it isn't Prometheus.

i cannot express how much i love this movie, it fills in so many gaps answers so many questions and the effects are astounding! the image quality is so crisp and clean and perfect!

Good scary movie
