Pretty bummed out they didn't continue the Prometheus storyline but Romulus does look promising. Now, maybe this film will introduce a Xenomorph king as the name "Romulus" is the name of the founder of ancient Rome.

The part where the girl is trapped behind the door reminds me of Covenant. Also when she is crawling under the grate reminds me of Newt in Aliens.

Nah, I just want a good alien movie before I die. Missed the first two. Saw resurrection in theaters when I was 9. Even at a young age, I felt like that movie was trash compared to the others. 3 seemed so much better as a kid than 4. I was so stoked for Prometheus, and like many was partially disappointed. Mostly with the stupidity of the characters/ odd ending. A lot of the religious undertones were so cheesy and pseudo intellectual, ancient aliens ridiculousness. Covenant isn’t even worth watching again after the trip to the theater. At least Prometheus has a bit of replay value. So forgive me when I say I couldn’t give two cents about the engineers or David or any stupid answer to the question of life seen through the lens of a horror movie…?

Jesus, I don’t know if that helps the story flow for you better but I wish Prometheus would’ve answered more questions.

I would love to see an alien movie go back to the intense action formula of the 2nd alien movie. I would like to see the full might of the military unleashed on the aliens. They could have militarized versions of synthetics going in and laying waste to nests.

For me Romulus is a big meh . We have already seen the ''crew trapped into a space station and being hunted by Xenomorphs'' type of Alien movies at least a thusand of times ... Engineer/AI lore is far more fascinating ,with far more potential to surprise the viewer considering the existential questions that are being touched.

I agree. I think the studio played it safe with an all-out action movie rather than going deep into Alien lore again. Too bad, I LOVED the David character again and would have loved to have seen what happened with him and the colonists. (even if a different actor played him)

Hell yeah, more Kroft videos. Keep the good work going man, I really love your videos as I'm a fan of the series.

Excellent work on the scene analyses.

I like the idea of the eggs being mutated human hosts more than the queen being an eggs layer. It makes more sense for the aliens symbiotic nature rather than making them like insects.

I don’t believe they’ve confirmed, or even implied, that the planetoid they’re on at the beginning of the film is LV-426(Acheron). It could very well just be another “shake n’ bake” colony in the process of being terraformed. The way that Van Leuwen spoke to Ripley about it implied that it’s something the company had been doing for a while, on more than a few worlds, by the events of Aliens.

Kroft the Elcor. Archivist of the Citadel.

Is it just me, or have we already seen this movie?

Your analysis and details are always good. This new movie will disappoint many for not bringing out the detailed background and try to go off to a less revealing one. I'll definitely not watch it in cinemas to waste money.

Romulus!!! Whooooooooooo!!!!!

The theme seems to be a familiar one, keeping the xenomorphs from reaching earth at all cost. Throw away the theme and let the creatures get to earth, and see how fresh of a story can be told from that perspective.

Regarding the Mist... it appears that we have similar in this Movie and so it will be interesting to see how this came to be, as the logical conclusion for it in ALIEN would be to Prevent any Eggs from Opening etc, unless someone came within close Range/under the Beam etc. We had to assume it was a Engineer/Space Jockey Safety Device... but WHY we see similar in Alien Romulus in a area of the Space Station that appears to have undergone some Xenomorph Hive Tera forming is interesting.. but i think it would be odd that the Xeno Hive produces it

Ill be glad when we get some engineers vs predators

That fully grown Alien being born could be an Alien morphing to it's next form like Praetorian or into a Queen we've not seen

10:46 missed the biggest clue…..yes, that is a Queen tail behind the malformed hand….but the HAND itself is incomplete, it is a fusion of both alien and human-see the human thumb sticking out?

Thank you for this analysis. Your gifted at subtle detail discernment, I as well would hope to see the line of Covenant be pursued at some point.

Here you have a time frame that’s not to far away from today’s world but we’re still super far away in technology of the alien movies, my point is you have a “Ai” or robot so fascinated in the alien life, their basically trying to kill the human race by converting humans into the alien species and how Ai is going to be our demise if we keep up with Ai development. A lot of these fictional movies and stuff that gotta deal with robots, aliens, and Ai seems like documentaries more than some fantasy movie someone came up with. 🤔 I’m saying mankind so interesting in finding other life forms and wanna live in other planets, that we’re heading right in that direction on how a lot of these fictional movies be.

Very good analysis and breakdown. I just hope every scene of this trailer makes it to the Final Cut. I kinda have doubts about that scene where alien roars and shows inner jaw to the tied up girl. A little throwback at alien 3.

Love the whole franchise, especially David. I watched 3 of your videos back to back, I saw Alien when it first came out in the cinema in the late 70s (79?) I mix it up with Blade Runner for some reason which I also saw but, because of who my date was it must have been in the 80s. I think it's about time for a new Alien movie right enough but would love to see more of David's story.

Alien has lost its element of surprise and spook simply because people who had watched it regularly especially are already familiar with the nature of these aliens. You want to know what makes Alien/Aliens so cool in the first place? First, all the actors were matured people not a bunch of woky teenagers! Secondly, the concept was considered novel then. Also, Aliens in particular had so many memorable lines especially the exchanges between Paxton's Hudson and Al Matthews' Sgt Apone but also the dialogues in general were matured and cool especially Apone's esoteric phrases. But after a few reiterations of the same things over and over again it becomes dull and nothing special. Just watch it for the fun and adventure of it I guess.

I want engineer vs predator lol

i feel like david will be revealed to be the original xenomorph from the first movie…

The girl at the end is NOT Rain. She looks like Isabela Kay in the movie.

I hope Ridley is working on a follow on from Covenant & Prometheus, as the direction of the Engineer's & David was definitely worth exploring further. I know they can never please everyone & there was a lot of ppl who just want monster movies, but a story where David goes to the Engineer home world could be amazing, as there's references to both David & the Engineer' in this trailer.
