Genuinely the best Alien since the 80s.

>>212532585 (OP)
It was mostly soulless

not that hard to achieve when every other alien movie since the 80s has been complete shit

Didn't watch.

>>212532585 (OP)
That's Alien Isolation. This is just a cheap knockoff missing the best parts

>>212532884
That was a game tho

It started great but lost steam. The later half ruined it.

>>212532939
It was still the best.

I really liked the mining colony setting. Shame they ditched it within like 10 minutes.

>>212532722
Don’t like to regurgitate 4chanisms but yeah this. The mining colony was the single fresh idea it had. Everything else was a considerably less interesting version of something weve already seen.

are you intentionally leaving out words at this point?
also where was the dog in the movie?

>>212532585 (OP)
Objectively shit. Every scene has something wrong with it. Nice bait though

>>212532585 (OP)
But it wasn't thoughbeit.
It was alright, sure but it wasn't better than Alien or Aliens, heck, even the one with that girl from Bettlejuice was more enjoyable than this.

Sorry anon, but you're wrong.

It was terrible since they've just flanderized it from the actual good setting of Aliens. Now they're no longer happy colonists working for something better, they're le slaves, indebted for life, who work til they die, then their offspring are slaves too.

>>212534292
people don't have to be grandparents to fight an alien

>>212534343

>>212534292
I actually liked how the cast was all zoomers
It felt topical and relevant given how zoomers irl feel trapped and desperately want to escape from a hyper-capitalist corporate work culture that doesn't properly reward their efforts and keeps them stuck in a neverending rat race of servitude. The mining colony setting was great at showing this in how the company just arbitrarily boosts contractual working years on a whim and lives are cut short working in the mines themselves. Then they venture into space and come face to face with the real monster: corporate nostalgia and necromancy.

>>212534427
I also read all the letterboxd reviews.

>>212534343
I got the impression that the setting of Aliens and Romulus are totally different types of places and societies. Just like Earth can have relatively peaceful and free countries and wartorn dystopias on the same planet, the universe can have human colonies serving different purposes.

>>212534427
>how the company just arbitrarily boosts contractual working years on a whim
They canonically don't do that though. They have very good and fair contracts that they strictly abide by and workers enjoy being employed by them. It was a shock for the company to do something unusually cruel to them in Alien.

>>212534507
Absolutely.
>>212532992
Inclined to agree. I'd have rather it was shorter and just finished before it lost steam.

>>212532884
It should have been 6-7 hours long just like re7

>>212534642
the prolonged experience just adds to the horror

>>212532585 (OP)
It mogged Prometheus hard.

>two short fat assed hoes

Im sorry the lanky cum dude at the end took off too many points for me..I was laughing so hard at that CGI monstrosity

Modern Alien flicks are afraid of the sex factor
even the phallic and rapey parts that Giger made

>>212534343
>Now they're no longer happy colonists working for something better, they're le slaves
Alien was literally always a cyberpunk dystopia setting where Weyland-Yutani had way too much power. I'm sure there are clean-looking better-off colonies, but what we see in the mining colony are the "slums" of human society, which would definitely exist in a megacorporation-controlled sci-fi future

>>212534560
To be fair, unionized space teamsters and mining serfs are almost certainly not getting the same treatment as one another. They wouldn't IRL anyway.

>brown haired midget girl protag AGAIN

>>212534972
just american things
though its more likely a result of studios wanting to make as much money as possible so keeping the age rating down = more potential audience

>>212532585 (OP)
it was entertaining slop.
all the fan service was unnecessary in my opinion, it could have done without.
the story is clearly a mix of ALL the other movies almost... maybe apart from Alien3? I think it was more entertaining than anything after Aliens to be honest... I would considering myself a diehard fan of Alien.
Idk, All the sequels since Aliens where pretty trash and this I found entertaining at least.

You notice the cgi got worse at the end

True, but only because Prometheus doesn't directly mention Alien in the title.

>>212532585 (OP)
>brown haired midget girl protag AGAIN

>>212535087
Exactly the point. You can show children people getting mutilated, killed in all sorts of ways, gore out that wazoo, but don't you dare show a nipple! They're too young for that! Nipples increase the age rating!

>>212535470
this webm is very foreskin coded

I didn't like the characters or the story

>>212535553
that's how uncircumcised look to girls

>>212532722
No youre just a contrarian fag. It was good. I went into not expecting to like it. I loved it. I was high.

>>212534807
Lmfao you say this about a movie where an alien egg directly resembles a vagina thats stabbed repeatedly with a long taser resembling a cock. Youre a fucking moron

>>212535806
that's how it looks to me! pretty awesome. Thank God I wasn't abused at birth. Please stop this from happening to others.

>>212532585 (OP)
it's soulless IP mining video game bullshit

>>212536345
Makes sense that you would find that sexual, disgusting zoomer freak

Mid

Cailee Spaeny can act, way better actress than Sydney Sweeney.

>>212536536
weird comparision but not wrong

>>212532585 (OP)
>there's summink in de water
did we ever find out or is that a hook for a sequel? or to keep you thinking about it like Prometheus?

>>212536345
>you say this about a movie where an alien egg directly resembles a vagina thats stabbed repeatedly with a long taser resembling a cock. Youre a fucking moron
????

>>212536572
I have Sweeney fatigue, that;s why I brought her up.

could have been if they didn't shoehorn in all the member berries

>>212536946
understandable, i share your pain

>>212536345
you must be b8
otherwise you should kill yourself now

It was great for like the first 20-30 minutes, then CGI Ian Holm showed up and it took a nosedive that it was never able to recover from.

>>212532585 (OP)
Prometheus blows it the fuck out.

They stole everything else from Isolation, why didn't they just put Samuels in the movie rather than Ash for no reason?

>>212532585 (OP)
The set design and the Offspring were good but dropping the android sibling plot early and having teenagers as the main cast was a bad choice.

>Fan service to the point of it being flat out detrimental to the movie, if the offspring didn't exist the movie wouldn't even have the little identity it does
>Everything starts happening way too fast once they get onboard the station, there's no "boo haunted house phase or putting piece of the puzzle together" since Rook spoils everything
>CGI Ian Holmes jesus christ why didn't they just pick some random actor to play this part and call it another android model
I don't hate the movie but I'm so sick of nostalgia wankery.
