There have been several whoppers of disappointments movie-wise in 2024 and one of them was Fede Alvarez's Alien: Romulus, which I had super high hopes for... as I do with ever Alien movie, super-fan that I am. Here is my review of the film in case you missed it in August. I am hoping that Noah Hawley's spin-off series Alien: Earth (which just got its first teaser, see that here) rights the ship, so to speak -- that's out next summer. For now Romulus has landed on Hulu today and despite my complaints I plan on re-watching it when the opportunity arises (probably over the holiday next week) because part of me feels that I'll like it more with my expectations now dashed on the rocks -- nowhere to go but up! Oh and these two photos are of cute actor Archie Renaux, who plays something or other in the movie -- I don't even remember here three months later haha. You know your movie is memorable when!

I loved Alien Romulus and am a lifelong fan who loathed Prometheus and and it's David as God nonsense only liked bits of Covenant,the outfit he is wearing esp the belt and jumper is something i'd wear so points to him,looking forward to Alien Earth though lord knows when i'd get to see it as I only do dvd's.
Do you know where these pics are from.
Just watched Romulus, really liked it, especially David Jonsson. Renaux looks older in the film than in these pics and even handsomer. Jonsson, though, was really a stand out. I didn't even mind Cailie Spaeny. I hated her in Civil War, but here she was pretty good, though still very bland. Wish they had had a more diverse cast age wise. It felt a little Hunger Games.
