Ok almost done with Romulus.. I liked it. But damn if there aren't some pretty glaring plot/universe issues. Since when are the Aliens afraid of guns, and since when do they hold off on attacking. How come the anti gravity trick at the end only seemed to apply to the Blood when she was shooting them. How did Ash get on this space station? Oh and another human-oid alien?
I also don't love how this movie only gives you 3 or 4 alien "cannon fodder" victims, right from the get go.. and two of which, you clearly see what happens to them in the trailer.
And the call backs were great, until it got to like the 8th one and they were almost groan inducing.
All that said (lol), it was still a great reset to the franchise. It didn't really swing for the fences, but maybe that's a good thing. There's already a sequel in the works, but they could actually do a prequel with what happens to this weirdly-unexplained space station that was already ripped apart by aliens. Fede Alvarez laid the ground work, and now he can really put his mark on the Alien franchise.
