Why are there two Alien Romulus threads? Multiple threads for the same show/film are cluttering up this section.

I dont think Call came as close to humanity as Andy. Maybe that's just down to Winona'a acting but I didnt buy her as genuinely human.
She definitely WANTED to be. She had ridiculous amounts of self loathing related to being a synthetic. But I didnt see her genuinely caring for anyone besides Ripley... and I felt that was because she didnt see Ripley as fully human, either.

Touch a nerve there did I....??....
Your review of my review is just plain wrong on practically all levels...so let's review your review, so I can review it....Spoiler Ahead....
Alien Romulus is all the other Alien movies, shoved in a blender and then spilled out onto the floor. Also the giant man alien at the end is laughable as a monster and/or alien.
I'm right, you're wrong...the end. Your entitled to your opinion, but your wrong.
I give your review of my review that is now reviewed a BIG 0/10

Well he did attack me and said this.....I'm sorry, but your one line review sounds tired, repetitive, and never breaks any real new ground as it relates to reviews...I don't think this person is sorry at all
So I'm having a big cry about someone attacking me online...
All jokes aside, everyone is entitled to an opinion and I think Alien Romulus is a steaming pile of excrement....It' not ok to attack someone for their opinion like she did and while I did the same thing, that's completely different because I'm right and everyone else is wrong.....

Call had sufficient self determination to rebel, and self loathing is a very human emotion. Andy is what Rain's father programmed him to be. Then, once he gets upgraded he is what WY programmed him to be. Call's line were massacred because they could not be reprogrammed, they had free will and are therefore closer to humanity by definition . It's in the dialogue...

It's all good. I think the exuberance with which they retorted shows the nerve that was touched in fact lies within themselves.Wow dude... wanna back over her a few more times with the tractor?

Amazing powers of observation
Additionally, "attack" seems like a bit of a strong word, considering the line that you quoted began with "I'm sorry..."
Unless I'm Canadian, I doubt I'm going to apologize before "attacking" someone

While I'm not disputing what they wrote, i;'m stating that *I* didn't buy it. that is my personal observation. You can share that view, or not. But it's a statement of what I personally felt watching it. And while that is subjective, it also isn't up for debate with others. I felt what I felt.
The wife and I finally saw this last night. Free time hasn’t been available anyway and then our daughter had to have emergency surgery last weekend.
Anyway, she spent about a third of the movie hiding behind her hands, and it spiked her anxiety. And yet, she enjoyed it quite a lot.
I loved the production design, it had a bit too much fan service and needed a bit of editing. (I say that for every movie)
Wasn’t perfect, but was entertaining. Doubt it has rewatchability the way the first two do, but I didn’t walk out hating it the way I did 3. I can see where people don’t like it, and that’s fine too, and maybe if I watch it again my perspective might change but it made for a good evening out watching a flick and munching popcorn.

I'd definitely put it above 3 and later. (Haven't seen the not-directors cut of 3.)
But I doubt I'll make a point of watching it again.
BTW what happened to the caddy full of black goo vials? What's her face brought it aboard their ship and then it wasn't seen again.

finally got to see it.
I thought it worked great as a horror movie, got a bit weird at the end
I think it was a great return to the franchise and was much better than than any movies that had come since Aliens
I think the only fan service that really bugged me was the "get away from her you b***h line" it just felt so out of place and unnecessary
I know people ding it for having too much fan service but honestly, for me, it checked all the boxes I need for an Alien movie without being the mess of Alien 3, or the terribleness of Alien Resurection, or just dumbness of the Alien VS Predators series, or the misguided "prequel, but not a prequel" mysterybox vagueness of Prometheus, or completely forgettable Alien Covenant (really, I have seen the movie, but can't remember anything about it)

Why was there the laser-mist on the floor in that random hallway? And Andy puts in hand in it and has an "Oh ****" look on his face but it's never addressed. Wonder if there's a deleted scene that explains it?
True it's never addressed; so it's likely another throwback to ALIEN.
