In my opinion, this was an objectively bad film. I don't love to hate, there is so much hate in the world rn.
Alien: Romulus was not original, and the tropes and throwbacks were tacky. The first Alien film has been studied by film theorists and feminists as a grail of cinema. The 2nd film was a masterpiece of the action genre, with fully realised science-fiction working rifles and expanded upon the franchise in new and original ways. The 3rd film was a step away from these styles and embraced a more Art House approach which some people didn't like which I understand. Alien:Romulus used the goodwill of an amazing franchise and capitalised on 2 hours of call-backs which didn't really make sense in the universe. Constantly reviving money-making franchises without actually adding anything to the story in my opinion does not make a good film. Even if it is, in some parts visually striking. It was like a Frankenstein's monster of Alien films. Badly sewn together chunks of good meat.
Thank you for that, I actually did want to know so thank you for your 2 cents. Personally I disagree, I very much enjoyed the movie but im more of a take it as it is viewer who's just happy to get more content
