If you watched Alien and Aliens you know they were the best of the franchise. The bar is set high. Like unreachable. In my opinion Alien Romulus recycles too much material from previous films. But it is what it is. Group of humans stumble upon aliens, aliens implant humans, aliens hunt humans and eventually there's one to two survivors. I mean they tried to incorporate something new into this one but it only succeeded in feeling like a combination of Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection. SPOILER: Not to mention at this point any new film from this franchise is predictable. I knew Kay's baby would eventually wind up being an alien or having one inside him as soon as Kay told Rain she was pregnant. The movie itself was enjoyable but that's it. Nothing special.

I will say the story does seem to be well written for the most part. And the animation is excellent. However, there's just a few things that are unbelievable in it. A Terminator shouldn't be shooting like a Storm Trooper. It's an advanced machine, it has a targeting system. And Eiko has performed feats in Episode 1 and 2 that are unrealistic for a mere human. I get it you want action but I want believable action. I'll enjoy it but I wish the writers would think more instead of trying to do the most mission impossible scene they can think of every single time we have action.
