    The signs on the Yorkshire/Lancashire border got me:
    'KEEP OUT'
    'NO. YOU KEEP OUT'

    absolutely stunning

    really loved the use of the atreides ‘anthem’ melody as the Paul/Chani love theme in this one - big hans has done it again on the score 

    the giedi prime sequences are incredible 

    as one man leaving the cinema said behind me ‘maybe this paul fella isn’t such a nice bloke after all’

    Alien: Romulus

    ★★★½

    Nails the aesthetic of the original Alien/Aliens; I particularly liked the glimpse into the grimness of the wider world under Weyland-Yutani. Where Prometheus/Covenant are flawed explorations of the higher themes/ideas behind the franchise this is a pitch-perfect sci-fi horror that doesn't seek to explore those 'higher' themes, for better or worse. I liked it a lot, and I found the characters vastly more sympathetic than the aforementioned Prometheus/Covenant. The last twenty minutes are creepy as fuck.
