Transcripts
let's
[Music]
go I don't do a ton of movie reviews um
in general but I do on some franchises I
I talked about like Predator prey uh we
talk a little bit about some fighting
game movie stuff to a certain degree uh
and obviously a brand new alien movie is
something I would like to talk about I I
won't get into spoilers immediately not
immediately but it is something that I
think is worth mentioning to a certain
degree so I'll try to hover around it
without getting too deep into it so the
only reason I would be here to discuss
something at all regarding alien Romulus
uh is because I didn't hate it is
because no it actually is the third best
alien movie that isn't a massive hurdle
to jump I think it lacks the Intrigue
that I really enjoyed about a movie like
Prometheus Prometheus at least was
interesting I really didn't like a lot
of parts of that movie but at least it
set up a lot of interesting questions
alen Romulus hits enough where I'm like
I don't think I hated it I think I kind
of liked it you don't like aliens 3 so
understand I grew up when aliens 3 was
coming out in theaters and everyone
hated that [ __ ] everyone absolutely
hated the almost a character betrayal
that happened from Aliens moving into
Alien 3 and one of the biggest reasons
that happened was because of an insane
amount of Studio interference like a
ridiculous amount of Studio interference
forced the movie to be into that
situation so Alien 3 um I think is a lot
better nowadays it's brutal man it like
it's the first big that I can remember
in terms of follow-ups and sequels like
a giant like [ __ ] you it had less money
you know and they had to figure out how
to make it work it was it was the first
time we're going to subvert expectations
so hard and it did in a way that was
like oh this is oh so that's my feelings
on Alien 3 to summarize it I think Alien
Resurrection is a stupid movie with some
so bad it's good elements and then uh
Prometheus is sort of serviceable
interesting at least but you know with
some really dumb characters and Covenant
is butt trash it's the lint that
collects in your ass I do not like it
man and David once again is the most
interesting part of that movie I really
dislike it in a movie that's trying to
be smart it is
unbearingly stupid and that's in
comparison to alien one and aliens and
alien one is one of the greatest movies
of all time and in my opinion aliens is
actually up there with being the best
movie ever made next to um Back to the
Future so that's where my perspective is
that's where my head Cannon is and I'm
not completely uh Alien to this genre we
made a massive movie we made a big ass
45 minute short film that we reviewed
with Yo video games a couple of days ago
called alien assist me and it was a huge
undertaking we had a lot of aliens we
had a lot of action we had a lot of set
pieces and all this wild stuff uh that
we shot for relatively really low budget
with just
that costume right there that was our
and my big attempt at filming a
xenomorph with just one costume that
doesn't really animate or anything and
doing our best with that so um we had a
lot of fun and I learned a lot of
lessons of how do we shoot an alien to
make it look convincing getting into
alien Romulus it's good like and I I
think especially the first 30 minutes of
the film is really good I hear that it
has a relatively lower production budget
which is mind-blowing that this film
started off as like a direct to Hulu
movie the same way that Predator prey
did it's
mindblowing that the quality of the set
pieces and most of the stuff we saw the
actual production quality was wild it
was crazy dude they actually have like
offworld stuff within the first 15
minutes and it's like whoa this doesn't
happen too often um and the fact that
they did it for pretty much by all
comparison ridic ridiculously cheap is
crazy it's so crazy um I loved it and I
think the production aspect of it is one
of my favorite Parts the way they they
shoot the alien again the way directors
have chosen to film the alien from
Ridley Scott and alien one to James
Cameron in Alien 2 [ __ ] Covenant we're
not even going to talk about that uh but
Alien 3 which had a lot of difficulty
filming the alien like a lot of those
obviously they didn't know how to film
this thing and then Alien Resurrection
which has them literally just swimming
around and [ __ ] with full body features
everywhere and it's like these things
aren't even scary anymore dude it's been
kind of hard for any director post
aliens to even film a xenomorph to
actually put it on screen and make it
look convincing in some way I'd honestly
argue that one of the next best attempts
is probably the fraking AP movies to be
real I think like if you want to if you
want to start reaching I think the way
they film aliens in AP1 and ap2 is
probably better which is crazy to think
that because the movies are not
particularly great so I am extremely
happy extremely happy that this movie
felt tactile it felt like there was
obviously a lot of CG in some parts but
necessary for storytelling reasons but
the majority of stuff that we see in the
film feels so lovingly tactile like
everything just feel feels like it's
there every like most of the shots of
like the xenomorph and alien Romulus or
you know anytime we see this thing
moving around the way they film it is
not the Loosey Goosey ass goofy way that
they sort of shoot in all the other ones
it's shockingly well done it's handled
with a lot of care and I'm like oh so
even points when aliens you know take
damage they quite literally handle it in
a very similar fashion where uh they
they do an aliens the only time in Alien
movies you actually see aliens get
[ __ ] wasted um is aliens it's like
the only one of the only movies where
you really see them get wasted by
bullets you know and Romulus has a very
similar approach they're like don't
let's not let's not mess with what
already works from a filmmaker's
perspective you know another credit I
want to give it to it um I was on the
edge of my seat throughout a lot of it I
was on the edge of my seat I actually
felt the tension in the movie and there
were several points where was like oh
god what the hell is about to happen
what what's about to H what am I about
to see dude so that's good that's legit
like good but it comes with some caveats
I'm trying to mention all the things I
really liked about it because again I
think I think my review of the film is
still about a seven and A2 I think an
eight is too high I I think the movie is
about like a seven and a half personally
and that might seem low but that's
actually super high that's actually very
high considering most Alien films that
have existed past um aliens
character-wise uh there's a couple of
great characters and the rest of them
are just nothing which leads to another
criticism of the movie that we'll talk
about a bit later which is the movie has
no time the overall plot in story is
kept relatively simple but tries to also
get kind of big in some places which was
genuinely surprising to me that like oh
we're actually going here Whoa We went
here we're actually wrapping this up wa
okay this is kind of cool and I didn't
hate that I thought I would hate that
but I didn't hate that and it's it was
something that kind of caught me by
surprise and I really enjoyed it uh so
what I feel about the film as an alien
fan is that it is the third best alien
movie I would gladly watch it again too
i' would gladly watch it again I love
some of the stuff in terms of the
tactile feel and the way they shoot the
aliens the fact that it was actually
kind of spooky in some situations there
was a lot of tension it did feel like
what alien movies are supposed to be
which are Thrillers they're supposed to
be thrillers this one tries to lean on
the horror link it definitely wants to
lean into horror more than it's ever
done before better than prey no no no no
I thought prey was like a nine dude
can't remember what I rated prey I
thought prey was much better but and
that will lead us into some of the
criticism criticisms I have with it this
is some some spoilers I'm not I'm I'm
really going to try to not ruin
individual elements of the film for you
guys alien Romulus most captivating
Parts its greatest strength is also its
biggest weakness and that strength
strength and weakness at times are
callbacks in ways that they are either
effectively done or mind numbingly
cringey as somebody that is like
familiar to Alien movies is just like oh
[ __ ] that was painful there's parts of
this movie that just feel like aliens
alien Greatest Hits um and there's other
parts of the movie where I was like you
know now that's alien you know instead
of now that's music now that's alien
where it's like track four put the space
suit on uh I that's what I was getting
by the end of this when when it was like
no we're not don't do it and then they
do it I'm like oh god dude really okay
all right Force awakens way worse Force
awakens is tame by comparison what they
eventually do in the final half of this
movie it takes you out of the film so
much um which is kind of disappointing
because the first half of Romulus I'm
sorry the first quarter first like one/
third one quarter of it is awesome it's
so sick I'm like damn this is a about to
be like one of the best [ __ ] Alien
movies there is like this is like maybe
up there I'm liking this just as much as
like alien one type [ __ ] this is really
cool and then it just it just leans so
heavily into like okay so now it's not
really an alien remake anymore now it's
aliens okay so now it's not really
aliens anymore now it's also Prometheus
no it's not Prometheus now now it's also
alien resurrection and I'm like oh oh
dear and it feels like Studio interfer
100% it feels like there was a big
criticism of Prometheus and that there
was no xenomorph stuff and there was a
big criticism of Covenant that when they
put the alien and nobody liked it it
100% feels like okay so we have to have
all these things these callbacks we need
to have callbacks and stuff like that
and they just they they get shoved in so
much but to be fair some of them are
really cool some of them I actually
legit liked and other ones I found
painful just this is this just [ __ ]
painful but still even when the painful
[ __ ] was there I'm still kind of on the
edge of my seat because the quality of
the film making is legit good the CGI
face was one thing you know that's I get
it it doesn't look great rook and is
Mega Pander there's no reason it should
have been that character that was like
the beginning of it but after that it's
like the alien isolation stuff I kind of
loved because to reiterate the first 30
to 45 minutes of this film is dude we're
getting a big screen like giant
production movie of alien isolation and
I'm into it bro I am super into it the
first chunk of this movie is just alien
isolation and I [ __ ] love it I love
it dude this is so sick it's when it
moves away from being alien isolation it
sort of loses that vision and it starts
to get like it starts to go all over the
place where it's like the the whole
movie becomes Throwbacks and I'm like
whoa and just to give the movie some
credit and this is some spoilery stuff
characters dropping
I can't even count them there was like
it felt like there was 10 lines of
dialogue that characters would drop that
are just from Alien one or alien 2 just
so many lines of dialogue that are just
straight out there's no reason the
characters are practically looking at
the camera and winking type [ __ ] and I'm
like oo man I don't know about this but
in other situations you don't even
realize that they're doing it you don't
because it's handled it's handled well
they take a throwback and I I would like
to provide examples if anybody's seen
the movie this is a couple of examples
that are sort of key plot relevant so
you might want to mute the video and
stuff like that just as not all of them
are bad there is a couple of prime
examples of them doing this [ __ ] really
good in terms of pandering one of the
most iconic sequences in Aliens you'd
say the power loader you would say the
queen fight you'd say the The Nest fight
bro one of the coolest sequences in
Aliens is the drop ship sequence is them
you know 3 2 1 launch and them get
entering orbit from the drop ship
sequence it is [ __ ] sick such a sick
sequence this movie has a drop ship
sequence but guess what they do it's
100% a call back/ throwback but they do
it differently instead of going down
they're going up the whole point is that
they have to exit atmosphere and they
have to exit ridiculously fast because
of like you know space [ __ ] so there's a
scene of them going up you don't feel
like oh this is just pandering and a
call back but that is literally a call
back to the drop the drop ship sequence
but it's sick and it's like oh it's
handled in a different way I like this
and I didn't even make that connection
until until later it's like oh that's
what we're doing here that's actually
kind of cool I like that without making
me completely disconnecting me from the
movie there is another sequence that
happens later that is similar to
previous films but is not the exact same
as and they twist it in some way and
it's the pulse rifle sequence this is
another gripe of mine it feels like the
movie has so many ideas uh the movie
doesn't even take any time to have our
characters even talk to each other after
like the first hour characters get no
time to talk to each other bro we got to
move because guess what we got a massive
set piece next to another massive set
piece next to another massive set piece
it's just set piece after set piece and
don't get me wrong they're awesome the
set pieces they have are super good but
bro characters don't even get to talk to
each other there's any there's barely
any line of dialogue between the
characters that is relevant to the
characters being the characters it's
mostly just them getting from this point
to the next point and it's like okay so
we we're just we're just moving right
now we just [ __ ] once this [ __ ]
happens once these things get out we
just start cooking from this point
forward and it isn't even like it's that
fast it's that there's like so much of
it it's like they had this idea and this
idea and this idea and this idea and
this idea and it feels like they wanted
to fit everything it feels like from a
production standpoint like the producers
wanted to put everything in the movie
and then it gets a little like yeah we
maybe could have just not had a couple
of those and just maybe let characters
exist a little bit that I might have
liked a bit it gets like a bit too it's
like we're going to lose the it feels
like we're going to lose the audience if
we don't keep it going that doesn't take
away from some characters the main
girl's great and the the the hero of the
story the best character of the story
everyone agrees it's Andy he's awesome
the actor does an amazing job the the
hook that they have for Andy is also
incredibly cool what they do with him so
I loved it I was like oh this is cool oh
this is cool where are they going with
this [ __ ] man so again some really cool
ideas but it's like they're trying to
shove in they're trying to shove in like
a bit too much I'll go back to the
example that I was about to say they try
to explain things very haaz L bro they
literally introduce pulse rifles and
they're like hey we got guns we got guns
and uh they give our characters guns and
they they do another aliens throwback
yada y y but then immediately a
character is like you know oh you can't
shoot those and they're like wait what
and they're like yeah no you can't shoot
those if you shoot the alien it bleeds
and it busts a open in the hole in the
hole and you can't [ __ ] use them and
they're like oh but they'll be like a of
the guns they think we're going to shoot
them like it's a cop pulling you over
and I'm
like is that a [ __ ] assist me gag is
that literally an assist me gag my dude
where like the whole point of me giving
Simmons a fake gun is that the alien
doesn't know that the gun isn't real
it's a [ __ ] assist me gag but it's
it's played for real and the aliens go
whoa they have guns
so it's but it's done in service of a
reason right they're they're giving our
characters pulse rifles no everyone's
running around with them nobody uses
them bro I'm like dude what the [ __ ] was
the point of these guns like literally
characters are carrying them around for
20 minutes and nobody shoots nothing and
I'm
like and it's it's like it's like we're
eventually going to have to lead up to
an alien situation where it's like we
have to unload on these [ __ ]
right so anyway um they eventually get
to the point where it's like okay so we
have to shoot some guns now and we're
going to make it a big moment and guess
what it's one of my it's one of the
coolest [ __ ] moments in the movie
it's one of the sickest moments the
setup for it the set piece for it I love
it I don't want to spoil it but it's
it's super [ __ ] cool and then I
ultimately realized oh dude this was the
reason they did it they they had like a
a a they had like a zero reason why
characters should have guns they
literally had like we we we just want
our our scene like we need our scene so
how do we explain them having the scene
without having to shoot and the
reasoning is just like well we have no
idea so we'll just come up with
something and characters just carry
these things around for a hell of a long
time until they eventually get to use it
and it's like oh in the exact same way
there is a character that is pregnant
and that is their whole
character and it's like oh this is being
set up for something there's a lot of
[ __ ] like that that is like this is
obvious okay like we get it we're giving
our characters guns the reasoning behind
it doesn't make any sense this and then
our character exists it's revealed that
she's pregnant the whole point of her
being pregnant is that I'm pregnant and
that's I'm going to be used used as a
plot device because of me being pregnant
and it's like okay I get it it gets it
gets a little like it doesn't it doesn't
cover itself very well and this is where
I say some of its coolest moments are
also some of its like biggest weaknesses
where that's not covering the other
stuff where it's like the insane obvious
aliens call backs and alien call backs
and starts off as alien isolation but
doesn't end as like an alien isolation
alien one sort of movie it doesn't this
movie is Alien Resurrection all this
movie actually is is a better Alien
Resurrection the only thing that they
took away from Alien Resurrection was
the fact that there was like a clone
Ripley that was it almost every other
aspect of the film is kind of like a
similar it's the same thing it's kind of
the exact same thing for the most part
you're getting from one end of the ship
to the other end of the ship and you're
trying to like get in between all that
stuff and what happens by the time you
get to the end of the ship is always
pretty much the same thing so but yes
outside of like the minor character
differences that happen in between yeah
those [ __ ] A A lot of the [ __ ] that goes
down in between the events of the film
once it's not alien isolation is more so
Alien Resurrection uh straight down to
we on a space station that was sort of a
research and development center type
[ __ ] and we're a we're a ragtag derel
group of Misfits that is like going to
go through here and you know steal their
resources and [ __ ] I'm like oh so this
is just Alien Resurrection now without
Ripley like without Ripley so with all
that being said that's that's what the
movie kind of lost me in some points but
I still liked it that's the crazy part I
still liked it I still thought it was
okay I feel like the movie is
significantly better if you don't give a
[ __ ] about aliens to be real I think
it's probably much more interesting and
less distracting of a film if this is
your first introduction to like it if
all you knew was Prometheus and alien
Covenant and you're like hey those
movies are kind of [ __ ] stupid if
that's your only reference of the last
10 years of like alien mov M then you're
probably going to really like this to be
completely honest because the stuff
that's distracting is if you're aliens
fans if you're a fan of the first and
second movie or the old movies in any
way if you watch the old movies if you
are it's distracting as [ __ ] and it's
like o it takes you out of the movie uh
unless it's the first 30 minutes like
first 30 to 45 minutes is Godlike bro it
is so good was it actually scary yeah it
was there was some legit moments where I
got kind of freaked out where I was like
watching the movie and it's like oh bro
what the [ __ ] is about to happen what
what are we doing here oh God and they
do try to do some weird freaky [ __ ] with
it which which is as much as it sort of
like is on the edge of being like I
don't know about this but it's also like
oh what the hell is going on there was
definitely some moments that I was like
oh God o this is this is weird and
creepy dude so I it it did it that is
what you're supposed to feel like during
an alien movie you're supposed to feel
like what what the hell is about to
happen what the [ __ ] are we about to see
type [ __ ] I appreciate the film for that
I appreciate the way they shot the
aliens I appreciate the tone I
appreciate the way the movie felt I just
didn't appreciate the fact that it
halfway through seems to lose all
originality it seems to just it seems to
just like literally jump it and pull
from an aliens Greatest Hits catalog or
an alienaliens Greatest Hits catalog uh
and it and it and it sometimes it's cool
and at other times it's really
distracting it felt like the movie was
directed by two different people it's
very weird so anyway I love the way that
you dude I love so many aspects of this
film it's like I almost wish I wasn't an
alien or aliens fan it's crazy dude
third act yeah SE second and a half to
third act got some big issues but it I'm
I'm not I was not disappointed I liked
it I thought it was actually good it's
the third best alien movie dude like no
kidding uh I I feel like this will
resonate quite a bit with a lot of
people which is why it's getting decent
reviews which is why it's getting a good
word of mouth because if you don't if
you're not [ __ ] super turbo you know
if you weren't born on LV 426 and you
sucked up the black goo up your [ __ ]
had a face hugger literally [ __ ] your
own face and then you know followed n's
Dad into the hell hole then you're
probably really going to like this
you're probably going to think it's sort
of sick so anyway that's my review it's
a good time here's the thing I actually
recommend you see it I do I I would
recommend it even if you're an aliens
fan I feel like even if you're OG alien
fan I feel like you should watch it
because there's at least some of it that
is like oh we're finally doing some of
this right oh that's good oh that's
actually kind of cool that we're doing
some of this right it felt really good
to actually have something that was like
Alien aliens again not be shitty it was
like oh oh some parts of this are
actually [ __ ] sick really like some
parts of this and then you know I
recommend you actually see it in movie
theaters I do my favorite scene was the
pulse rifle scene
and it's it's all stupid it's set up so
dumb like how how they eventually get to
the pulse rifle scene I [ __ ] loved it
dude it's like a straight up like let's
rock and I'm like oh [ __ ] I'm [ __ ]
I'm super into this [ __ ] now man I
thought it was super cool so but it's
also like Mega Pander you know I think
it's completely serviceable is what I'm
trying to say I think it's a serviceable
movie you start to think about any part
of it and it's like but when you when
you watch it and you're kind of on the
edge of your seat yeah it's pretty good
