Wait, what? I thought it was just a CGI monster, I didn't realize at all that it was practical.

Inside Ridley Scott’s Producing Empire: “Tell Me the Film in Two Sentences”
Behind the scenes of his production company Scott Free: How the iconic director picks his projects, and his one real business regret.

i think fede is working on a seperate alien romulus sequel which he wants to tie in closer to Prometheus, plus the FX Alien Earth (Alien prequel) TV show. Seems like a lot of Alien. I just wonder if Ridley's alien movie is finishing up Prometheus/Covenant with a third, which is a big "NO THANKS" for me, or a sequel to Aliens that erases Aliens 3-?? (no clue how many there are lol)

I'd be down with finishing the Prometheus trilogy. They left us on a brutal cliffhanger as to what hellish plans David had for humanity next with his theoretical army of Xenomorphs on a spaceship.

The whole movie could be made with AI and is just a montage of Xenomorphs slaughtering humanity set to bittersweet symphony?

There was also the matter of the Engineer Homeworld, which we were supposed to see in the third movie (the colony of humanoids in Covenant wasn't their homeworld and I don't even think those were engineers). So it'd be cool to see that. I'm assuming David's final destination is attacking their homeworld with his Xeno-army, though I suppose he could just as easily go back to Earth since he hates/has contempt for humanity (that'd actually be a hell of a setup for the TV series on Earth, and continue the "Paradise Lost" theme with him deciding to wage war on his creators).
I also doubt we'll ever get anything else with the David storyline so this is all pretty moot

The whole story is kinds dumb with the engineers. The gene stealers can barely beat humans with our lower tech, but the killed off some giant super smart aliens with god tech?
I mean they way they reproduce is so retarded. Just throw anyone infected into an incinerator and they cease to exist. A big gaggle of them wouldn't be able to beat a competent squad of light infantry in open terrain.

What was really stupid about this movie was how ridiculously fast the aliens changed. In the old movies the gestation period was long, in this one it was like facehug to chest burst in 10 minutes of in movie time. Looked amazing, substance sucked. It was a nostalgia attempt, just made my wife and I want to watch the first two.

This documentary on some British people making a stage play of Alien honestly looks better and more fun than Romulus.

Because it's a piece of shit, even if it's a good looking piece of shit. The whole third act was just trying to do alien or aliens again for stupid fan service. The whole first part of the film was just rewriting the lore.
I saw in the theater and I regret paying those ticket prices. I've even tried rewatching it and it's still bad.

For me it was the scale of some of it. Pilot of a zillion dollar colony ship risks the lives of everyone on board to get really, really close to the planet because he's concerned about losing contact with his wife. Contrast that with Ripley refusing to open the door when a crewman had an unknown organism on his face. I've also got zero tolerance left for the incredibly bloated and ridiculous video game cutscene action these things have. Terminator Dark Fate was the same way.

Go watch the original trilogy before you waste your time on it again, or at least rewatch the first two films. I know people don't necessarily care for three but I think it's still great specifically the director's cut. Everything past three is pretty crappy though.
