She wastes more oxygen by worrying about oxygen
I meant the gas not the movie. 🤣
I recently went to the real Sleepy Hollow near the Hudson River. It was pretty cool.
Another stuck in space short film. Well done with the score and acting

The film was shot in the UK where they seem more geared up for this type of production. It would be interesting to compare the actual town when this story was told, with today.I recently went to the real Sleepy Hollow near the Hudson River. It was pretty cool.

I swear I had a wooden horse just like that one.
Oh dear, where do I begin? It may as well of called itself Alien Remix or Alien All Sorts (a brand of mixed sweets).. some of the best and a lot of the worst parts of previous films (including the script!), put into a mixing a bowel, stirred up, only it was left to mix on far too high a speed and for far too long, and is just a runny goo of mess that doesn’t bond together at all!
This is a film purely for the Gen Z in the world, who have never once seen or even heard of all the other Alien films. For me sorry there are only TWO Alien films, end off, Alien and Aliens Special Edition with the latter being my favourite by far, Cameron making a better film then Scott.
But I’m sorry, as far as I’m concerned with the Alien franchise it was ‘Game over man’ a long long long time ago. Now it’s purely just remaking it over and over to milk that money, and each iteration worst then the last…
Do you know what this franchise needs? It needs Ridley Scott to be removed from it entirely, and for Niell Blomkamp to make his interpretation, to make it a 3 to 4 hour spectacular, keeping the same theme, mix it up a little but not a lot, to hire competent known actors and actresses, to give it a massive budget, and to not change the ******* God damn Alien! Again!… forget the goo forget the injections…. Give us Colonel Marines and Pulse Rifles! And scary closed corridors WITHOUT the stupid camera angles..

I think Duel was Spielberg's first big director job.
"as far as I’m concerned with the Alien franchise it was ‘Game over man’ " when they killed off Newt...
Heck, let the alien finally eat the damn cat (or the other way around).
As a fan film Romulus stands up, as a stand alone film falls flat on it face. Ridley Scott needs to keep out of the franchise as he's lost the plot in his elder years. Revealing or explaining the horror is big no. The 1979 Alien was perfect without his later interference...
I dont know what "Gen" Romulus was targeted for but it wasn't mine. Better then Covenant which isn't saying much. That was rubbish. Visually enticing, narrative written by an old fool acted out by planks of wood. Thankfully the Alien go the majority of idiots...
Me I like 1, 3 & 2. Alien should be dark & dangerous, not happy families or explained. Do it right or dont do it at all. Best film never made is Alien Isolation as continues the story in an intelligent manner. Draws the player into a very dark place.
Prey reinvigorated Predator, Romulus fails to do the same as is just more of the same. There's an Alien fan film based in WW1 that does far better as you barely see the Alien, has a lot more stones & imagination...

I saw it in the theater as just a waste of time. I came away thinking it was an average show in a sea of below average Hollywood releases. However the main actress was quite good for her part in an unimportant film.
I don’t think I it stands up as it’s far far too fast paced, blink and you miss half the film. I get annoyed when they come up with the tired same old let’s make a human alien BS. It’s so utterly cliche. Wanna see a human turned alien film done right? Go and watch The Titan. Alien should not be it. And what on earth is up with Scott being utterly obsessed with it ALWAYS being the android that’s the baddy? Give it a rest already..
Based on it's entirety, I'd describe the the Aliens franchise as a train wreck with 2.5/6 bright spots.

It's a fan film that's it. Not a good Alien film the WW1 one on YouTube is better by a wide margin as it has originality & depth to it. Romulus is just a mishmash of all the previous films...
