I was so underwhelmed by this film. And I really diminished my expectations before watching it because these Hollywood films of late usually bring with them disappointment.

Alien: Romulus felt very thin. The Rook cameo went way overboard and he became like a main character. The characters were paperthin. I felt for the Robot guy and his relationship with the main character, but it quickly came to a stop when they ‘forced conflict’ with his ‘my brain chip is taking over’ story. It felt so predictable and done-before and lost all emotional weight to me, so that when we finally reached the end I couldn’t bother with any of them.

Ah man… such a bummer.

Highlight tho’! The Prometheus/Xeno Combo at the end was truly horrifying in the initial reveal! He should’ve been introduced a good 10 minutes earlier and lurking in the shadows like Michael Myers whilst he tries to get to understand his body and her character.

The only thing that I think could improve this film is removing a lot of Rook and a good bunch of deleted scenes (if there are any) that develop crucial character moments. As for now this film was so thin I have no interest in ever watching it again.

Prometheus was better. A lot better.
