On the topic of Alien, the mrs was at her sister's last night so i watched Romulus. Hmmmmm, I guess i am in the minority that enjoyed the intelligent origin story from Prometheus and Covenent and felt the return to a straight up "monster chases heroes" scenario that people seem to want was not my cup of tea. It wasn't bad*, it just felt ..... surplus to needs.
*OK one thing that is really bothering me with each new Alien film is how fast the process from face hugger to full blown Xenomorph is taking, it's like 8 minutes now when it was what, 2 days in the original film? Even the final act of Romulus, the hybrid, like how did it grow to 8 feet tall in 10 minutes? Really?
