I might have enjoyed this more if I hadn’t watched every other Alien movie in the past few weeks. So I was already kind of exhausted going in and this one didn’t seem to do much to separate itself in my mind.
It definitely looks great (but dark), other than one CGI character is pretty rough at times. It adds to the lore in interesting ways and pulls elements from many of the previous films. I liked Cailee Spaeny and…
I’ve heard good things about Chapter 2 so I want to remind everyone I’ve been here from the start 💁🏻♂️
Great battles and an amusing performance from Phoenix don’t quite make up for the emotionlessness and choppiness of this one for me.
Vanessa Kirby is incredible and I really would have liked more of her character. I don’t really understand anything about her outside of her exasperation with Napoleon.
This really just made me want to watch Marie Antoinette instead.
I knew going to anything other than a big dumb blockbuster on a weekend night was taking a risk, but I was relieved (but also sad) to see no one in my screen when I arrived right as the trailers were ending. Spoke too soon… 15 minutes into the movie (35 minutes after the “showtime”) this middle aged couple walks in with I’m assuming their 20 something son (at 9:35 who the hell are these people??). Talking the whole way…
