Brian Tatosky<p>Fascinating look at the 8 shots of Ash in Alien Romulus altered between the movie release and the Blu-Ray. Worth turning on the translation captions for this one.</p><p>Is it better? Mostly, though it looks like obvious matte issues with putting in the darker face over the old face. Seems to have more natural detail and mouth size in the new one.

Admiral Bademeister<p>Puh. Alles in allem sehr unterhaltsam. Bildqualität und -sprache sind klasse. Die Story ist in Ordnung. Endlos Zitate/Fanservice. Der Cast ist mir zu jung. Mit Twens kann ich mich nicht so identifizieren wie mit der Crew der Nostromo oder den Marines der Sulaco. Der Altphilologe in mir sucht noch immer nach 'nem guten Grund für den Titel, bzw. den Namen der Raumstation. Der Ian-Holm-Fan fand Rook absolut schrecklich animiert. Da hat ILM richtig Mist gebaut. <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/AlienRomulus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlienRomulus</span></a></p>

Anomnomnomaly BSC SSC<p>So last night, I went to bed and watch Alien Romulus.</p><p>So here's my quick review.</p><p>Spoilers ahead. You have been warned.</p><p>Quick overview: I enjoyed it, will watch it again.</p><p>Longer overview: Fede Alvarez managed to combine elements of the original Alien, Aliens and even a little bit of a nod to Resurrection, and a call back to Prometheus. A strong female protagonist, mediocre supporting cast that are left to fall by the wayside one by one and the sole (plus artificial human) survivor.</p><p>The timeline setting for this is after Alien, before Aliens.</p><p>Writing is reasonable, direction is above avg, it doesn't completely fall into the 'too dark to see shit' all the time like others do. Musical score is fine, the predictable ending is perfectly acceptable given standard movie tropes.</p><p>It was enjoyable to watch... Not fantastic, a few jump scares of which only one actually made me jump (I guess I'm used to expecting them in the expected points in the plot).</p><p>If I had to rate it alongside the rest of the franchise, it actually climbs into 3rd spot.</p><p>1: Aliens<br>2: Alien<br>3: Alien: Romulus<br>4: Alien3<br>5: Prometheus<br>6: Alien: Convenant<br>7: Alien Resurrection</p><p>But those last 2 are tied for last place... they were both equally bad.</p><p>As for Alien3... It's only that high because I've read up on David Fincher's original screenplay and designs... So I have a rose tinted glasses feel towards it.</p><p>kinda like I do towards the never made Jodorowsky's Dune</p><p>A solid 7/10</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Alien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alien</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/AlienRomulus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlienRomulus</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/MovieNight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MovieNight</span></a> </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@BonehouseWasps" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>BonehouseWasps</span></a></span> because he wanted to know my thoughts after watching it.</p>
Anomnomnomaly BSC SSC<p>Tonight's movie</p><p>Alien Romulus.</p><p>I've avoided any spoilers or trailers for this movie. I'm going in fresh... I'm also going in fresh from the disappointment of Prometheus and Covenant. neither of which I hold very highly in the franchise.</p><p>So, fingers crossed this one will manage to recapture the feeling of the original Alien, or is more action based and fun like Aliens.... I don't want another slow plodding, poorly thought out plot with some of the most stupid 'scientists' ever to venture into space.</p><p>The tagline of the last 2 should have been 'In Space No One Can Hear Your IQ Decrease 80%'</p><p>SO it's not exactly got a high bar to beat has it. 😆 </p><p>The director is an unknown to me too, Fede Alvarez has directed 2 other movies I'm aware of, but haven't seen. The remake of the Evil Dead and the US/English version of The Girl in the Spidersweb... I've not watched any of the English/US made versions of 'The Girl' trilogy</p><p>I really want it to be good... I've longed for another great Alien movie for decades. All I've seen is mediocrity so far.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/MovieNight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MovieNight</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Alien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alien</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/AlienRomulus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlienRomulus</span></a></p>
