alien romulus editon
/hor/- horror general
romulus
Was it any good? I downloaded it but haven't felt the impulse to watch the damn thing yet. I've been fucked over so many times I'm gunshy.
has he been in any horror films aside from the alien prequels? Fell like he'd kill hit in a better project.
its really good the first time you watch it, me personally I dont like watching it multiple times. its the best alien movie in like 20+ years though.
mods pruned the avatarfags thread
why did we let him earlyfag and post in the thread anyways?
Hm. Okay.
/mulls it over
Currently watching him in Eden Lake as we speak
wtf happened to the other thread anyway
Lowlifes posting is not gonna stop
It was a solid 7. Best Alien movie in 40 years, so there's that.
Need him to get up off his ass and direct more horror kino
he always puts hot hispanics in his films so thats a plus
its going to be hard for higher ups to work with him since hes earned the right to assume majority control over his shit and even turned down a Marvel project back in his early days cause he felt they weren't going to give him much control.
Sexo
Best Alien movie in 40 years,
im thinking shit franchise
Best Alien since Aliens
Lowlifes posting is not gonna stop

All practical effects. It's a must see. A few of the sequences are really good.

Dracula Untold, starring Canadian actress Sarah Gadon
its the best alien movie in like 20+ years though.
It's not. It's a knock-off of Alien Isolation which is the true best recent alien media. There's just too many losers too lazy to play a "game" and must passively consoom theor entertainment, even though it's the most scary entry of the entire franchise and the only way to have the xeno actually be frightening anymore.
It's a decent action horror flick. It's a kind of a movie that doesn't stand on its own feet as it borrows so heavily from what came before it. That also leads into is biggest problem which is that it doesn't offer anything surprising or new.
It’s good. There are some bafflingly stupid choices that make it worse than it could have been but given how shit the franchise has been for so long it felt like a breath of fresh air.
The retrofuturism was really cool and looked great. The android was one of the best characters and it’s pretty heartless when it comes to the rest of the cast. This is a good thing and more like Alien was originally. Aliens started to compromise on letting the cute couple and kid live. After that fuck it.
It’s really the attempts to tie it all together with previous lore that stands out as shitty. The returning character just didn’t need to be there and didn’t look good enough to pull off the cameo either.
the people calling romulus good are retarded. the first like half up to when that chick gets trapped behind a locked door are decent. it falls off a massive cliff after that and turns into marvel slop.
the aliens stop being threatening whatsoever. the one liners are cringe as fuck. any sense of pacing goes out the window and we get unoriginal shittier done callbacks to the old movies.
say what u want about ridley's later alien movies or even 3/4. at least they could stand on their own and tried to bring in new ideas.
the bar is so fucking low now that horrible movies like romulus and prey get lauded as good. it's just sad.
The android was one of the best characters
You have to be brown or black lmfao.
Dude from Smile mogs.
Alien as a franchise has overall fared better than either Predator or Terminator. I know some people will swear by Predator 2 but I didn't like it very much personally and I still haven't seen Prey yet but the reception to Badlands' reveal trailer hasn't been very positive either. Terminator is that rare franchise with two masterpieces just like Alien but literally all of the sequels post-T2 are terrible. Prometheus alone is better than any of those and Romulus is solid even if derivative.
Predator>>>>Predator 2>>>>>Powergap>>>>Predators>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Powergap>>>>>Prey>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>The Predator
I don't include AVP in either since we only got 2 movies and 1 easter egg outside of the games and comics
Watching 30 Coins. I can recommend Marianne.
first entry in those three series are perfect movies fuck all the sequels
Sinners
shieeeet imma muddafuggin vampire now?
it clicked
I will watch a watered down Romulus sequel if Spaeny returns
still haven't seen Prey yet
it's awful. few recent films have pissed me off as much as Prey did.
the effects in Romulus harlem globetrot all over Prey's shitty cgi
Liiife is a waterfaaall
We're one in the river and one again after the faaaaalllll
saw ASH
usually love non-linear narratives but here it was very poorly executed and about half way through i realized there's a twist coming the first thing i thought of turned out to be the twist
had some nice beauty shots
reading some interviews with flying lotus he said it was inspired by dead space, death stranding, and giallo films. it was meant to prove that he could make a more mainstream film, shame it barely made it past $1 million BO as i liked his previous film kuso
Romulus was probably the worst alien film since 3
reeked of disney meddling with 'member berries and subpar acting strewn throughout the entirety of the film
Prometheus was a lot better. Flawed but more willing to do its own new thing instead of shoving memberberries at you
wonder why it didn't do well. people usually love dumb space shit.
personally I liked it, it didn't do anything to annoy me aside from that surgery robot (goofy and out of place) and as you said had the occasional nice visual. I liked the space suit design.
That shot when she was walking around and the ginger woman looks out of the hallway at her was spooky, only because her face looked like a completely different person.
the bar is so fucking low now that horrible movies like romulus and prey get lauded as good. it's just sad.
Nuff said.
Romulus vindicates what Ridley did with Prometheus: keep dreaming. The new elements were cool and to this day people post memes about the engineer, black goo, etc.
i haven't seen a single meme about romulus since it went out of theaters
The only meme is basically dayum dat Spaeny girl cute.
The main thing holding Prometheus back is its forced connection to Alien. If it was a stand alone ancient aliens film it would have been much better.
this I remember when people trashed alien 3 but its much better than anything after it
I didn't mind it being in the same universe, but the more xenomorphy monster went too close.
It had a lot of stupid stuff in it but with time all I remember is how much I liked the strong parts. The emergency abortion was awesome and Noomi Rapace was in amazing shape.
I have to really strain my memory to remember anything about Covenant.
Pretty much everything that brings the movie down stems from it trying to fit in with the original Alien. The engineer retcon (the design is cool its just clearly not the engineer), le decon at the end because remember Alien?, high tech instead of retro futurism etc.
Whoever recommended me Horror in the High Desert, fuck you

So what exactly does "It" do to kill you?
pricks your scalp apparently
