Hi folks, first time poster so let me know if this kinda post belongs anywhere else. Just saw alien romulus and wanted to see others thoughts on the movie :-).
Personally the visuals were great and the xenomorph itself terrifying but I didn’t care much for the story and the characters seemed a little 2dimensional. I also think it drifted a little away from the fear factor to shock. I’d say 6/10. Enjoyable watch but nothing special.
Every modern movie… If it leaves open-ended questions at the end of the first movie, they are NEVER being answered. They will be hinted at and dragged through a million sequels before they are completely abandoned with zero closure.
It’s not about art or storytelling. It’s simply a process of extracting money from consumers invested in the franchise.
