Hi folks, first time poster so let me know if this kinda post belongs anywhere else. Just saw alien romulus and wanted to see others thoughts on the movie :-).

Personally the visuals were great and the xenomorph itself terrifying but I didn’t care much for the story and the characters seemed a little 2dimensional. I also think it drifted a little away from the fear factor to shock. I’d say 6/10. Enjoyable watch but nothing special.

    • The acid kill retcons 4. One drop goes completely through the guy’s leg, while in 4 it only burns the skin slightly.

    That seems more like a 4 problem.

    Look at the OG acid scene from Alien:

      Acid never follows reality in fiction anyway, I’m mostly fine with it just being whatever it needs to be to make the plot work
