At this point I'll take full spoilers because I'm not interested in another bad alien movie

I prefer the term "artificial person" myself.

Soon as he said “group of kids” I’m like no thanks

If I remember from the scraped Prometheus scripts, the black goo was actually the blood from a previous Deacon type alien that the Engineers worshiped (The one in the mural) and used it's blood to try seed life on other planets. Idk, it's something like that.

I saw the original Alien film when I was a kid. I was horrified and in awe of the film at the same time. Plus I fell in love with HR Gigers art work. The zeno was so original in its appearance and life cycle that it really worked and an alien life form. Where had it come from? Why was it so brutal? Why the two stage life form and what of the alien bone ship with its deadly cargo? And the space jockey??? This was pretty much as good as the zeno itself. I read a lot of books as a kid around the film and noted that the zeno lifecycle used the face hugger to obtain DNA from the host in order for the zeno to have a better chance of being able to live in the hosts world or environment. It was super aggressive in the Nostromo because it was alone with no other zenomorphs to " educate it. " I thought Aliens was also an excellent film and liked the Queen zeno but admit to loving the idea of egg morphing a captured life form into a face hugger and egg, truly horrific and nightmare inducing as the zeno itself. The unanswered questions from the first film made it soo "Alien." that you would have to be such a good story teller and creator to bring good ideas to the table to answer them that I don't think they ever will be. Modern films today are mostly ill thought out and poorly executed. Just a cash grab and nothing more. instead we get re hash and cash in films that are easy to make and have no decent cannon connection to the original. Or story for that matter. The film industry should have left Alien alone after the 2nd film. Ridley Scotts prequel films COULD have been brilliant but we're mediocre at best. Very disappointing. Right, time to step off my soap box. 👍

Touch of isolation in there with the space station and such

Not sure about the human face xenomoroph. We already got that in Resurrection and it was not that great tbh. However, everything else sounds promising.

What happening with the 2000 hostages that David has for his experimentals? Finish that plotline at all?

Not gonna lie ,some of the leaks sound garbage, Im not a fan of hybrid aliens, and the societal dislike of androids sounds like it could get preachy, other than that I like some of the setup, of stealing the cryo chambers and the space station setting sounds great, I hope this is good

AVP galaxy are a great channel

I like the thought of many xenomorphs bouncing around the station. Really ramps up the action aspect

AI playing an AI

Not gonna lie, This sounds pretty generic unfortunately, If they can nail the atmosphere and Suspense while having good characters that we actually care for then it could work

As much as people dunk on Prometheus and Covenant, I still want a bookend on Davids story he is a fantastic villain.

Is this the one that articles were basically calling “Zoomers in space”? Lol. Alien films can’t get away with gore and lore anymore. You NEED characters. So when I hear they’re “serviceable” that doesn’t give me any hope.

Sounds like small pieces of the Alien novel titled The Cold Forge is being used incorporated as well (experimenting with the black goo and the xenos). Also the dynamic between the two lead characters is similar to the Alien young adult novel Echo. Part of me is worried, but part of me is very intrigued. What would be a really cool twist is if they decided to do Ridley's original ending of no survivors. They could do it if it's a stand alone film.

I cant even get excited for any new Alien stuff ever since disney aquired the franchise. I'll probably watch it on a pirate site at some point after it releases lol

Sounds too safe to me but will see what happens. I hope it ties in David from Prometheus and Covenant in some way just to give them closure.

Another 10+ years till we find out what happened after covenant and how the ship full of eggs from alien came to be on lv426. Surely i cant be the only one that wants to know this

I really hope that Prometheus and Covenant can be wrapped up.

looking forward to it, got a midly cynical thought comcerning Alien Res, but would also sort of fit.

Interesting.. Thanks for sharing 🤔

So, you said the FINAL creature in this one is more "humanoid face" like?? Alien Resurrection be like: "Yeah about that!"

All sounds pretty interesting, apart from (for me) the human hybrid sounding alien. I mean in the expanded lore, books, comics etc don’t they take on traits and genetic material from their hosts anyway, so are kinda hybridised anyway… obviously will get a better opinion when I’ve seen it of course, think the Newborn has still left that bad taste in my mouth. But haunted house in space again, that sounds promising

Love the fact that Ian Holm (like Peter Cushing in Rogue One) is returning

Thank you ! Love the info !

Helloo, Yep, it's gonna be shite, just as I thought and just like 4,5, and 6. As soon as you mentioned the "newborn" you confirmed that I'll only watch this for free and only when I'm not doing something more interesting, laundry for instance. I don't know how they keep fxxking this up. They've got such fantastic base material, but they do it every time, same comments with Predator. AVP is the best thing since Alien 3 (which is ace) by a foxtrotting mile. I just rewatched Promethius and Covenant this weekend and, I can confirm i was right the first time, they are both shite. Good video though mate and thanks for helping me make up my mind :-). PS. I was 19 when Alien was released, i saw it on the silver screen at the Odeon in Leeds and it was magnificent, i consider myself to be very, very lucky in that :-) Regards Gee

I was excited before but now it's a bit more amped up!

Studio- We have our top men watching the screening. Everyone - who?? Studio-Top...men

Definitely intrigued by this

Sounds pretty good, it kinda reminds me of Scavengers Reign, that fantastic Hbo Max show that nobody seemed to ever cover. (anyone who likes hard sci fi should definitely give it a go)I hope we get some original style Engineers more akin to the Space Jockey's from the first movie.

Sounds really good a new twisted version of the Xenomorphs I'm interested but it sucks the prequals are still cannon.

Just realized I’ve been watching you for years, I don’t even know how long. I always wondered what you looked like. Crazy now we’re all used to seeing you. Thanks for the alien update! Watched your old videos on covenant years ago

I don’t understand why Weyland Yutani would leave that space station abandoned. The Xenomorphs are like the most important thing in the galaxy to them.

This has to be BETTER

I don’t know much but I know that Eaglemoss Bull alien has a broken tail inside that box

It sounds interesting so far. Wonder where the eggs were collected from.

So Goonies in Space. I really wanted an end to David's story in Ridleys films.

Good stuff, can't wait

Not really excited about a new xenomorph since every movie since Aliens has shown a new variant, as well as the comics and video games. Nothing really beats the original Giger design IMO.

I know a lot of folks hated Prometheus and Covenant but I loved them. I also loved all of the originals (minus 4 and the AVP nonsense) so im usually excited for anything Alien/s.

Trailer this month? Interesting. I am hopefully optimistic to get a decent alien film .

Good video ❤

Can’t wait to watch this film 🍿

So excited for this film even more now. The horde of face huggers sounds terrifying. Thank u Mr H

Ok I'm very excited now.. The setting and set-up alone sound great.

I’m stoked for Romulus. I’m glad Fireteam Elite lit a fire for new fans because I’ve been dying for another good “Alien” movie since “Aliens”!

Because of this video, im hyped for this. My son & I are huge fans of Alien and Predator. Thank you so much mrhreviews for the video.

I'm cautiously optimistic. I'm very excited to see the new creature designs/variations, and the plot does sound good.

Why do they always have to redesign the alien? Hearing that immediately takes me out of wanting to watch it. I wasn't overly interested in this one before and I'm still not sure about it.

I wanted a sequel to covenant because of the cliffhanger at the end of the movie, but this sounds pretty interesting, I'm kinda hyped

Another bit of info that avp galaxy seems to have confirmed is that all the xenos here come from Big chap (the alien from the first movie), they recovered his remains and have been experimenting on it

I think we should prevent Ridley Scott from getting involved

I think the big problem with the later alien films is we know what to expect. The first one was great because we didn't see the alien until the end. The second one was good because it was wall-to-wall action. Sadly the rest were predictable rubbish. Scott took himself and the story far too seriously when he went down the ridiculous 'engineers' route. It sounds like this one is back to the old tried and trusted 'scary monster in a confined dark space killing everyone' format. Should be a winner.

cant wait

I was hoping that the end monster you have mentioned would have been the alien king

Maybe the goo was used to make the Ripley from Resurrection.

Curious about the new creature. Almost describes the Alien Clone skin in Dead by Daylight. Or perhaps like the concepts/alternative Fifield mutant in Prometheus.

There was such missed opportunity with a Trilogy starting with Prometheus. Instead we got 2 sequel films all repeating the same old plot from ALIEN: “Run away from alien in cramped spaces”

So far this all lines up! New trailer dropped today and we see a lot of the things mentioned here 💪

Why make new aliens? They've done it several times now and it doesn't match up to the original design

Maybe its like an alien action horror and psychological slasher movie.

Bunmed out by the fact that we won't get a resolution as to what happened to david and the Covenant...but that was to be expected

I’m trying not to get too excited, but man, this film sounds awesome. I absolutely love the Ash element to it, it’s just a terrible shame that Ian Holm is no longer with us to play the part.

"Romulus station abandoned for years" - Yeah, no...I am not buying that.The company would never leave its most prized specimens and research for anyone to find!

Just watched Alien again last night, With what Prom and Covenant did to the cannon, How are they going to get to LV426 and find the Space Jockey who is carbonized due to old age. But in the film it was code 437 or something that the science officer had the details, so Weyland/Yutani did know that the derelict was sending that warning/rescue out, that means they would know about Prom and Cov but never got a specimen? so that's why in Alien they do get the coordinates for LV426? any thoughts?

Will certainly watch this, hope it has loose ties to Prometheus/Covenant to give it closure. Main concern is the predominantly young cast, I'm not really for a teen slasher with Aliens type of movie. Also, while all these new xenos, loads of facehuggers and everything might sound nice, I hope they've realised the Aliens work in short controlled bursts - without the tension being built up you don't get the pay off. The threat of them should be just as terrifying as when they actually strike/attack.

There is a piece of info that was released about 2 weeks ago where director Noah Hawley, director of the upcoming ALIEN series discussed with Ridley Scott not only the aesthetics of the Human technology as being as gritty over at least the 3 original movies and why they are not advanced as with our current tech within the established timelines and in contrast with Prometheus and Covenant. The thing is that there is this Super Computer Virus released by the Monks from the William Gibson ALIEN 3 script that has damaged technology to the point of having it be sort of retro, and the Prometheus and Covenant ships are one of a kind each due to WY investing Trillions of dollars in them. And the Computer Virus has never been able to be destroyed, keeping Human technology as less advanced as we hoped to see and why it favors the original 3 films well. That was the coolest part to explain the 3 original movie aesthetics in Tech, and their contrast with Ridley Scott's last movies. But here is the cream of the crop, since Disney is now Owners of FOX, they didn't like Scott's story paths with Prometheus and Covenant, and they demanded changes to be more directed in line with the original 3 movies. As such, Hawley discussed his idea for the Xenomorph origins, which is that neither creatures from the Scott's last films ARE Xenomorphs, but experimental variants, derived from actual Xenomorph DNA, which is the Black Goo Accelerant. The actual Xenomorphs on the 3 original movies are NATURAL Xenomorphs, specifying that the species was not created by anyone, neither the Engineers, nor David, and not even the Space Jockeys which now are within the ALIEN universe as a separate race from the Engineers (as they should be). The Xenomorphs are a natural ancient species, Millions of Years old, and a product of Millions of years of Evolution. And as per Hawley, Ridley Scott LOVED the ideas, so now this is canon, and Scott's last two films are basically Side Stories within the ALIEN universe and in line with what Disney wanted and supposedly this would feature a bit on ROMULUS but mostly on the ALIEN series, so we'll see.

I'm SO happy that there is actually going to be something new and cool in this one. I felt so alienated by the trailer as it was so fucking boring and samey, I just couldn't get excited, it looked like the laziest copypaste job I'd ever seen. But hearing that the reverse engineered aliens will be different in some capacity, even if it's a subtle one (I didn't care for how close David's praetomorphs were to the XX121 species, they really should have been more creative, but if they're using black goo direct from big chap that seems more plausible), as well as a brand new genetic mutant alien fills me with hope. I'm really wanting to see more praetorians and some different hosts other than humans, those are always at the top of my list for a new alien movie when belugaheads are out of the question (seriously they're in the RPG I want them in a movie make it happen), but honestly ANY new content whatsoever is the bare minimum to at least get me to give a shit. Who knows if it'll end up being any good, but at least I know now I won't be just walking into a movie I've already seen. ...little worried about the cast potentially being annoying teenagers, though. They already tried that in an alien movie and it didn't go so well. I don't care if they're young I just don't want the counselors from a Jason movie.

Early image depicts a version of a Pulse Rifle, so this sounds like a greatest hits compilation for Alien.

Nice! 😮

sounds like alien 4 is a delightful experience in contrast to this movie

Good thing I went to see Prometheus with a Bad hangover... Tip-toeing between the front row & the exit door waiting to gag!

Interesting. There's an audio-comic here on YT that dubbed the comic where there's a Space Station that is doing experimentation with Xenomorphs, and they made a way for the Xenomorph to infest someone through a like spray or gas. Instead of a burster coming out of the host, it actually transform the host into a Xenomorph, and there were a bunch of other experimental and new types of Xeno-variant types all over the place, pretty cool imo. Sounds like it may be pulling some inspiration from that which sounds great imo, and them making this a continuation from the last 2 is also great. I really was hoping to see something that would weave into the overall lore better than the last 2 did. Also, I wonder if this movie will include or mention what David did at the end of Covenant, or if that will be a part of a different movie/series or whatever they plan to do with that story thread. I have a better outlook on this than I did yesterday so, guess we'll just have to wait and see it when it comes out!

I’m trying to stay hopeful. If you were to talk about the plot of Alien 3 for example without have seen it, it would sound like a terrible film. But, it’s an excellent movie in my opinion, highly underrated. I think one of the things that made the first 3 alien films special was that each director had their own style. My hope is that this director has a unique style and still manages to capture some very tense and gory moments.

@Mr H Reviews we got a runtime?

Sounds legit good. Fingers crossed.

They should had made a movie right after David took the ship after convant to indicate where was his destination was it LV 426

I think it sounds like it has the potential to be as bad as Covenant and maybe reach Alien Resurrection levels of good (meaning still awful just not as bad as covenant).

Looking forward to it

Just saw the trailer and the leaks match up with what is in that. Looks like this could be right then. Sounds good to me 😊

Wonder if the appearance of the black goo will have us see the Deacon again??

If it took place on the dark planet, it would be like Pitch Black with Xenomorphs. 😁

“Humanoid face with an elongated body” makes me think the final creature will resemble Pumpkinhead

Fede has done it again! This is the Mr. H content I return for. Great stuff on compiling and vetting sources. I didn't waste my time with other sources and was waiting for this.

Negatives: Lead characters being 'kids' ... High probability that several of them will be unwatchable. ANOTHER hybrid Alien that has a humanoid-like face ... These films always try to create something 'new', when the truth is NOTHING comes close to the original Aliens. Positives: Pleasantly surprised to hear about the Ian Holm digital return. Connections to Scott's films ... even though I dislike them, I still want that story to have a conclusion. Could the abandoned station be the result of the company finding David and the Covenant?

Nice one h

Hhhmmmm David finally decided to experiment on himself with the black goo so now he’s a hybrid

Cant wait

If you want a more human-like Xenomorph, watch Species (1995)

I love spoilers. And I still look forward to your review of this movie when it comes out. I heard there was a covenant connection, and now there's a similar to the newborn alien? Interesting

The Kids must be survivors from the Covenant ship colony, assuming they reached Origae-6, the point is from where the face huggers reached the Romulus space ship?!! Especially the story takes place between Alien and Alien!! Unless they reached the station by the Covenant ship and David work, in this case it is a prequel to Alien and an indirect sequel for Covenant

If it has nothing to do with covenant we don’t want it!

This sounds so good and I'm so hyped. I didn't want to get my hopes up again but how can I help it?

im kinda getting Alien resurrection vibes with the description of the new xeno at the end. Using just imagination based on the description

I love that idea tbh

Wonder what the run time will be this cannot be rushed ,, really hyped

I for one am looking forward to it

Sounds like more questions than answers…definitely not keen on the Human/Alien hybrid monster at the end. Shame we couldn’t just follow Amanda Ripley’s journey!?

Sounds very interesting/i can't wait for the official trailer for it this month
