Fede Alvarez - Blog Posts

I just watched Alien : Romulus in theatres, and I think Fede Alvarez now owes me therapy.

Without getting into spoiler territory-

Alien Romulus is fantastic. A wonderful homage to each film in the series, while somehow also managing to change things up and remain fresh. (Well, a lot of that freshness comes from how it takes certain ideas from the past and improves upon them)

My only real critque is the reuse of a few lines from previous films (seriously, just write your own dialogue) one of which got an eye roll out of me.

All in all, I really loved this film

(Fede Alvarez should direct a Doom movie)

For anyone who was wondering, here's my ranking of the Alien films

Alien

Aliens

Alien: Romulus

Alien 3

Alien: Resurrection

Alien: Covenant

Prometheus

Alien vs. Predator

AVP: Requiem

Guys I just had a dream that Kay and Rain from Alien: Romulus actually were lesbians and for sure had a kiss scene. I did not realize I was so invested in them…

If you haven't seen the final trailer yet, you're missing out

The chokehold this has on me rn...

Favorite part is definitely the callback to "You Are My Lucky Star". It was genius of them to put the original tune in there. Really affective too!

Had to see Alien right before it went out of theaters for the second time in a week :)

An even bigger screen. Might have cried at the end.
