Gary Thomas

I went and saw Alien Romulus this afternoon. I actually saw the original Alien in 1979 in the theater ( I was 19). Alien Romulus was a bit of a let down. They borrowed alot from other Alien movies to try to tie things together, but for me it didn't work. The movie moved too quickly. It didn't spend enough time to make the characters matter. Although I did enjoy the xenomorph action, there just wasn't enough of it. A positive. The special effect were great. The ships looked good inside and out. The tie in with Aliens was okay with the colony. Spoiler Alert!!! Using Ash was weak. The director and Ridley Scott could have done better. The acting, in its limited capacity was okay but as I said before, things just seemed rushed. I'll give it a 75 out of 100.
