FEDE GETS IT. I’m so glad someone with this much passion and understanding of what makes this franchise great gets his chance to show us his vision.

@buzzfunk Ай бұрын

I think so. I mean its hard to do something new new. People wanna see the Alien. So i feel its like he said it will be like a new "remix" in a way. Evil Dead was very good even tho they completely missed the original humor. Still i have high hopes for this one.

That feeling will never come back. You were a child once. You are an adult. Trying g to view things through the sphere of childhood never offers anything but disappointment. Here's to Romous being AS CLOSE to that childhood feeling.

Just been quite disappointed with the recent films in the franchise, Covenant in particular. Anyway, will go in to watch Romulus with an open mind and see what Fede will bring to the audience. I’m hopeful because I personally think his Evil Dead remake was great. Didn’t even think there will be another Alien film made after Covenant. So, can’t wait for Romulus to hit the theaters. It’s been 7 years since Covenant already and that’s a pretty long time.

Correct. The original was the "perfect storm" of talent, and Scott did his part. But without the rest of the talent, he f'ed up Prometheus and Covenant. They look great, but the story and the characters are trash.

I've never cared if I am in the minority on anything... but I am so thankful Neil Blomkamp did not make Alien 5 as I really have no enjoyment in watching his films. Fede is an absolutely stellar choice to bring the franchise back to it's roots in a way that is very approachable to old and new fans.

@andrewcardenas1314 26 күн бұрын

I like his films but I agree, he wouldn't have been good for what his ideas were for the Francise as a whole. Love em or hate em, he wanted to retcon alien 3 and 4 like they never existed. This would have happened after Prometheus was made, and after release of alien : covenant which were two new timeline prequels with little retcons of their own already. It would have muddled the timeline even more and we'd end in the same position as the Terminator Francise after dark fate bombed.

The set design from the trailer and teaser look incredible! The acting looks great! The practical effects look insane! The premise looks interesting! The deaths appear to be unique for an older franchise where you think how many ways can you kill someone! I love the retro futuristic atmosphere which was abandoned in the Prometheus/Covenant. The most important thing though is you have a director that respects and understands the Alien universe. I haven't looked forward to a movie this much in forever. I'm praying the asteroid looking thing is actually The Big Chap in a cocooned state after being blown out by Ripley with the grappling gun since he clearly didn't die on screen. The only other one I guess was John Wick 4.

@Leondrius Ай бұрын

I think overall it will be decent, but I'm getting Friday the 13th vibes. Dude's like, "There's something in the water!" yet continues to lay in the water. Based on that alone, I'm guessing a lot of these deaths will be the kind you cheer for because the character's actions will be so stupid. 😅

@mremu Ай бұрын

@@Leondrius He is stuck in the room though? The power is out and is trapped in there until they can get the power back on so I don't think him freaking out while not moving is an out of character thing to do. I mean what would you do if you were trapped in a room and you think there's something in the water but aren't able to see it? On the spot, I think most people would freeze and try to see it or a sign of where it could be to better buy enough time for someone to get the door open.

I have some doubts regarding adding relationship element to the Alien movie. We had this love element in Prometheus and in My opinion relation here for example (Android and the girl) feels like acid in milk. Are we expecting a love sacrifice here like Andy will save the day buy saving the girl. But at the same time, since android is personal property so his behaviour could be altered based on who owns it.
