And Ridley also made Prometheus so....*Alien: Romulus Director Shares James Cameron & Ridley Scott’s Reactions (& How They Were Different)

*IMO, Prometheus is a great Sci-Fi movie. It sucks as an Alien movie.
It looks very formulaic, but then that's the Alien franchise. Having said that, I will go and see this in the cinema.
Ok, this is too much for me, this is Fede Alvarez wearing one of my bullion scrambled eggs Nostromo cap’s on set!:
I can recognize my particular Nostromo shoulder patch a mile away.

Woo hoo! Congrats man!
It looks properly weathered!
And they did a good job. One would think they were professionals!
Eh, not for me. It just looks like cherry-picked, mash-up of ALIEN and ALIENS and heavily reliant on the "more, and faster is scary" mentality. I've always thought this franchise was creatively exhausted after the first movie. As a series, because the first two are so well received, there is honestly no where to go with this premise: you either have to stick to space truckers or space marines, make the xenomorph an intelligent stalker or mindless animal. There's no inbetween and there's nothing to do to push it forward.

Well, it has instinct...It's not a mindless animal (if we can characterize it as animal). It's not as if the Xenomorph is holding a human skull in his hand and getting shakespearean with "To be, or not to be"
The audience wants horror (how many ways can I use to kill those puny humans?)Some serious fire-power, from said humans and some gore/exploding flesh and bodies...

Well, the audience wants compelling humans, too. If you don't have a Hicks, Hudson, Bishop, Drake, and Vasquez to go with your Ripley, the killings become super dull. Anyone remember anything about Crowe or Wierzbowski? Gotta develop those characters!
It’s a big universe. If the Engineers made the Alien as a weapon, who were they fighting? Seems the scope is wide open.
Must agree that character development, along with good actors and plot is critical. Special effects adds to the movie but by itself it can not carry the load.
