When Exactly Did The Alien Movies Stop Being About Space Truckers?

1 year, 5 months - Alien: Romulus has touted (and I think delivered on) the idea of returning the Alien franchise to its “roots.” But what does that really mean? The kneejerk reaction might be an emphasis on practical effects work, or simply setting it in the years between Ridley Scott’s original Alien and the James Cameron sequel Aliens. But I think that’s not quite it. I think it’s a return the stories of blue collar everymen and women. What Alien sorely needed to return to, were the space truckers!Ridley Scott, James Cameron, David Fincher… some of the greatest names in directing have all piloted a ship filled with Xenomorph and facehuggers. Whether or not they’re CGI or a hybrid breed invented by David the synthetic is not the point. Weyland Yutani and their bottom line focused obsession with acquiring one for their weapons division continually casts regular people in the role of collateral damage. And THAT is what the franchise should be returning to.This video was written and edited by Clint Gage.

Alien: Romulus Video Review

1 year, 6 months - Alien: Romulus reviewed by Tom Jorgensen. In theaters August 16, 2024.Evoking the genetic f***ery that always spells doom in these movies, Alien: Romulus is a lean, mean, chimeric beauty. Fede Álvarez proves that his Evil Dead remake was no fluke: The director seamlessly keys into the narrative and aesthetic touchstones of the series and marshals them to breathtaking ends. Romulus occasionally takes a turn down a dead end hall pace-wise – and unfortunately its most audacious bridge to the franchise’s past is extremely rickety – but those missteps are forgivable considering how confidently and judiciously Álvarez handles them elsewhere. Helped along by a talented ensemble of young actors and reference-quality production design, Alien: Romulus’s back-to-basics approach to blockbuster horror boils everything fans love about the tonally-fluid franchise into one film, and it’s one that you’re going to need to start making time for the next time you plan on marathoning Alien and Aliens.
