Opening Act
Blockbuster Alert! The much-awaited ‘Alien: Romulus’ took the international box office by storm, raking in over a whopping $100 million in its opening weekend. This smashing success not just signaled the franchise’s robust return, but also cemented the possibilities of more cinematic adventures in space. And oh yes, we hear there’s an FX TV series in the pipeline too!
Our Take on ‘Alien: Romulus’
Here at JoBlo, our take on the movie was quite solid, as we rated it a commendable seven out of ten. While the majestic space horror held our interest for about 75% of the time, the remaining portion felt like a leftover from Ridley Scott’s prequels – ‘Prometheus’ and ‘Alien: Covenant’.
Our resident horror expert, Tyler Nichols, echoed these sentiments in a special segment where he discussed the plot’s SPOILERS. We both noticed this particular aspect in the movie’s final phase. But hey, every movie can’t be perfect, right?
A Stirring CGI Debate
The movie sparked a divide over the return of a classic Alien character through CGI. Though critics claim it was less convincing, I wasn’t entirely excited about this addition. However, Tyler seemed unperturbed by it. Whether this move was a stroke of genius or a big faux pas has stirred up a quite polarizing discourse.
Reception Breakdown
Glancing at the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, an overwhelming 81% of critics gave it a positive nod, while the audience score stands at a hefty 86%. It seems like the masses are vibing with Fede Alvarez’s take on the franchise continuation.
