Alien: Romulus


Movie: Alien: Romulus

Running Time: 1:59

Nominated for: Visual Effects

How I watched: Hulu

When it had me: Andy the robot guy

When it lost me: I don't recall

What systems does it challenge: Space Colonization

I tapped out of watching Alien movies years ago. The first two are so great and then it just becomes a glut. But this one was a very enjoyable space horror movie and it felt like it essentially worked as a self-contained piece.

I appreciated the writing very much. The problem was set up succinctly. The relationship between the two main characters was simple but drew you in. And everyone else was there to die. 

They all did some stupid things but not so dumb that you had to turn the movie off. We thought about seeing this in 4DX but I was really worried about what the chestburster scenes would feel like! It was an enjoyable at home watch.
