Corey P Guys, Alien Romulus was awesome. This was the first genuinely suspenseful movie I’ve seen in a very long while. The premise is super simple, and there’s only six main cast members, yet the stakes in this movie feel so heavy! This film IS scary. But like so many before it, it’s scary because of the atmosphere. The sense of dread builds from one scene to the next constantly. Once one obstacle is cleared, a more danger one presents itself. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a movie in which a situation escalates as consistently as it does in this one. The cast does a fantastic job. Cailee Spaeny and David Jonsson are the two standouts as the main characters. They carry this movie on their shoulders and do a phenomenal job. The other four characters are fleshed out well enough that they feel like real people more so than cannon fodder. You really can’t tell who will survive and who won’t until the end credits roll. The visual effects in this movie are great. There are some truly beautiful shots of outer space, and some very convincing set pieces. I’ve seen online that almost 100% of the face-huggers are practical, and around half of the Xenomorphs are. It is impressive how tangible these aliens feel compared to other sci-fi films. They do some very creative things with the setting in this movie as well, especially with artificial gravity. Gravity plays a huge role in some of the action, and it makes for some very creative sequences. Nonetheless, this movie’s third act! Hohoho… You think it’s over, but again, the tension never stops building, and I’ve never had a visceral reaction in my seat like this film’s final reveal gave me. You just wait for the nightmares that you’ll get that night! 4 out of 5. Very happy to see such an iconic franchise get the TLC it deserves!
