A lively and light-hearted alternate history filled to the brim with colourful animation. I was lucky enough to catch this in the early-release IMAX screening, and was blown away by the sweeping, fish eyed vistas of the colonies shot from ground level. While I would have enjoyed seeing more character setup for our colourful cast, the movie still delights with frenetic action sequences and by laying the groundwork for series-long mysteries. As a fan of the original 0079 film trilogy,…

Alien: Romulus 2024
Alien Romulus has 2 feet firmly stuck in the past, often to a fault.

Despite dragging a bit in the middle, this movie remains an entertaining counter-point to last years Godzilla Minus One, and proves that the goofy side of Godzilla can be enjoyed right alongside the more serious entries.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
It's messy and weirdly paced, but that doesn't detract from what feels like a fitting capstone to this chapter of Gundam's Universal Century.
Char himself feels better defined than he has in the past, despite the seemingly radical character shift Char undergoes between Zeta and this movie. I've always found him to be an interedting character, but his actual motivation was sometimes ambiguous to a fault. Here his purpose is complex but understandable - perhaps earnestly a continuation of his…
