Huomenna 14.8. ensi-iltansa saavan Alien: Romuluksen ensifiilikset on julkaistu ennen keskiyöllä poistuvaa embargoa.
Elokuvaa hehkutetaan lähes varauksetta. Kriitikot ovat yksiäänisiä sen suhteen, että Fede Álvarez on tehnyt yhden koko Alien-franchisen parhaista elokuvista.
Myös muun muassa sen R-ikärajaa, näyttelijöitä, praktikaaliefektejä sekä kauhistuttavia kohtauksia kehutaan.
Tästähän on tulossa hitti!
Alla X:n twiittejä.
#AlienRomulus is a bonkers roller coaster ride through the previous six Alien movies, using bits of all them, to tell a focused, mostly standalone story filled with glorious gore & scares. It gets better as it goes along, ending with a phenomenal big swing of a third act. pic.twitter.com/mY8Hkbe0gD

#AlienRomulus The bitch is back. Was skeptical going in, but this is easily one of the better films in the franchise. Fede Álvarez doesn't disappoint. Awesome sound design and world-building. The practical effects are so good that the film gave me nightmares. pic.twitter.com/Z46KNWxYhn

Fede Alvarez’s #AlienRomulus is gnarly, gripping & gorgeously bleak (everything from the story to Olivares’ cinematography to Wallfisch’s score). Innovatively delivering smart, savvy stuff, subtly playing the greatest hits. Cailee Spaeny & David Jonsson dominate. This rules! pic.twitter.com/kEuDZku2Oz

Alien: Romulus pays perfect homage to the original, using practical effects whenever possible. This works so well that the CGI stands out when used. It is slow to start but man, once it gets going, you will be on the edge of your seat until the very end! #AlienRomulus pic.twitter.com/1o3urLGSiV

I really dug #AlienRomulus! It’s a gory monster movie with some truly inventive set pieces. Act 3 had me gasping in horror.
It does play like a best of the Alien franchise for better and worse (one element I did not like) but it feels like the sequels finally found their footing pic.twitter.com/x78B2Dl1v2

I loved #AlienRomulus. Riveting from start to finish w/ surprising emotional stakes & an absolutely stunning third act. Álvarez brings immense style & creativity to the franchise. The practical effects / real sets captured the dark & gritty world of ALIEN beautifully. Tense &… pic.twitter.com/ko2qESEpe8

There’s a lot to love, with splendid horror elements, visceral imagery and incredible creature design! David Jonsson is a scene stealer. However, it rallies the best elements of the franchise together instead of standing on its own and characters are forgettable. pic.twitter.com/8NSlyW0PfY

#AlienRomulus is a big win!
Fede Álvarez continues to be one the best directors in the game.
The atmosphere is impeccable, and the Alien in action is terrific.
What really makes this entry memorable is how inventive some sequences are. A truly disturbing third act 👌 pic.twitter.com/uV7qWzname

Alien: Romulus is a chest-bursting good time! It fuses so many elements from the franchise's mythos together so well, all punctuated with some great action set pieces. I think people will be talking about this one (in a good way) for some time to come #AlienRomulus

When I tell you Fede Alvarez did his thang with this flick bringing that slimy heifer back for another run! The suspenseful anticipation will kill you, but once it kicks in all bets are off. The production and sound design alone are bananas 🍌 #AlienRomulus pic.twitter.com/pAMGN6VKCg

#AlienRomulus was a lot of fun. It's gritty and gruesome in all the best ways. The thematic elements get lost in the shuffle by the third act, and some minor fanservice moments feel mildly tacky. Outside of that, it's a great Alien film with solid casting, sets, and effects. pic.twitter.com/DuatcB0pEX

#AlienRomulus is a well-paced sci-fi horror. There are some great jump scares scattered throughout the film. The callbacks to the original and newer stuff helps bridge the gap between the films. Many highs and a few lows. Cailee Spaeny & David Jonsson are great leads pic.twitter.com/NFytyF4wF6
