I'm much more excited for this film than the streaming series. It seems like Alvarez understands the IP and cares very much about it, I'm a fan of his previous films and the production crew is filled with some of the highest caliber creative talent. I'm not expecting anything as iconic as the first two films. While some of the leaks make me raise an eyebrow, I'm expecting the same kind of film he's produced before -- an effective horror with a relatively simple unconvoluted script.

Yes. I agree with you about everything. Hopefully they don’t over use the face hugger. But I could also see it as a point in the movie like where in Aliens the xenomorphs flanked and snuck up on the marines in the ceiling. As long as this movie gives you the sense of danger in every corner and let your mind do the rest on some of it, that will be a plus. So I’m really waiting on the trailer to let me know how much more excited I’ll be, but so far I’m really excited actually.

Great analogy, that ceiling scene where poor old Hudson was told off for reading the scanner wrong is a perfect example of placing the main characters in a real sense of danger that the audience intensely feels, whilst also providing an amazing amount of thrilling actions visuals the get the adrenaline going. I get the sense I am gonna come out of this film 60/40 in favour of it but I remain guiltily excited for now.

As to the face-huggers getting through the glass: (a) Playing back the original at 25% shows the glass panel in the door is like shattered safety glass (b) There is fire so perhaps rapid heat increase or something prior to this shot can explain the condition of the glass panel? (c) The face-hugger from the original 1979 movie was able to melt its way through Kane's helmet using acid. For me the space station environment of this movie, numerous face-huggers and use of flares seems more ALIEN:ISOLATION themed. Seeing the alien, well - there is not much of the alien creatures we haven't seen before, but I surely hope there is some rationally believable surprises in this movie.

James Cameron with aliens took away that transparent shell of the head as he mentioned that it would break all the time with the more action packed scenes and so he decided keeping the original alien head wasn't necessary, ad he was right aliens was probably the best alien movie of the franchise.

Appreciate that buddy, thanks. There was a definite fall back here to the same formulas which is fine if they pull it off but because it is Alien doesn't always mean a female must lead us. It almost coded into the franchise at this point, very strange to me.

Definitely agree with your assessment. Lots of things to like but a few things to be skeptical of. Teaser trailers always look awesome...I mean, that's their job, to whet the appetite, right? Hell, even the teaser for The Predator (2018) looked cool and that movie was one of the biggest dumpster fire clusterfucks of all time. I agree that this movie looks great visually in the trailer. It really does LOOK FANTASTIC and Fede clearly has tried to emulate the look of the first two films as well as Alien Isolation (which nailed everything on so many levels. Christ, just make THAT game into a movie and call it a day). But I still think we should take this trailer with a gigantic grain of salt, mostly because of all the things we've heard from the screenings leaks. If Big Chap really is somehow coming back and plays a major role in this film, I'm going to fall over from how far my eyes roll back into my head. Like I posted previously, I'll never understand this modern day obsessive need to connect everything together into the same continuous timeline. Just seems lazy and unoriginal. But to be honest, the one moment in the teaser that actually made me angry and gave me the "WTF are we in for" reaction was the shot of Cailee Spaeny holding the pulse rifle at the end. Such a blatant, obvious ripoff of perhaps the most iconic scene from Aliens when Ripley emerges from the power station elevator to begin her search for Newt. That moment legit gives me chills every time. It's the absolute peak of Ripley's bad ass determination and her ultimate "don't fuck with me moment." You could argue that the entire movie has been building up to that one incredible character-defining moment. I know I know, the scene from Romulus will be billed as an "homage" but Cailee Spaeny ain't no Ellen Ripley and Fede Alvarez ain't no James Cameron.

The first two I saw at age 15 and the 20., so of course at that age they shaped my cinematic memories. Each were different. Cameron's military versus aliens had unlimited well done action that stands out still today. The first can never be replicated as it was different from movies up to that time, absolutely convincing space scenes and the ship and alien ship design were exceptional, but what it made it work compared to all the others in the series was the competent writing and cast with real characters that disappeared one by one. It was the creepy buildup to more and tension that worked for the first move. My worry with this one is two dimensional characters, and over kill with the action where you see the " aliens" too many times in scenes instead of more imaginative use of cinema Oh and thumbs up for Prometheus that is one of those movies you can do a repeat watch of in the franchise/

This looks like a "Paint By Numbers" sub-par horror science fiction complete with all the box checks: Diverse young cast. Check. Big explosion. Check. Lots of chaos and running in dark hallways. Check. Stuff as much CGI in as possible. Check. Being overwhelmed by "more and scarier than the last time" monsters. Check. With such a high bar set of the first 2 films, and then a bunch of turds, the odds are high that this is going to be a disappointment. Nothing compelling enough for me to part with $20 to see this in a theater. I'll wait for reviews, then maybe watch it streaming. This trailer offers too many red-flags that support my theory this will be a below-average film. Red flags: Obviously a lot of CGI. The compulsive "bigger, more, badder" monster problem that kills so many franchises. CGI makes the temptation of "too much" easy to over indulge. The ship appears in perfect condition, another CGI problem. Young obviously diverse cast with what appears to be, YET ANOTHER, feminine hero. It has become such a predictable tired trope, it's ruined how many franchises now? Star Wars, Mad Max, Indiana Jones, James Bond, Ghostbusters, the Marvel Universe, Terminator, and on and on.... I readily admit that Alien and Terminator started, and perfected, the brave female hero but at this point it has become a desperate cliche joke that torpedos franchises.

I’m with you on the glass breaking for facehuggers. All the alien isolation influences people keep bringing up kind of annoys me. Alien isolation got most of its influence from the first movie, so why are we leaping to a game as the influence. Hallways? Yeah, that wasn’t an original idea.

It's because the director has already said he copied the game. Also those flares are a giveaway. They are from the game not the movie.

You're dead right as in the film came first of course. I mention Isolation in the vid simply because I feel that game reignited the fans imaginations and sort of brought the terror back to life for many of us in a way that none of the recent films were able to do. Just my opinion anyways ;)

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE The problem with alien ressurection was originally newt was going to be the main character. That's why they hired joss whedon. Makes sense because then you can bring in the buffy fans. But studio did what they always do and change things last minute. So now you have an action film with middle age scavengers saying hip teen dialogue. Bad idea. It would have worked if studio wasnt cowards and let newt be the main character.

Prometheus also had really kick ass trailers..... and then the movie, and its sequel, turned out to be a massive disappointment. Im insanely skeptical. What Im seeing for sure is a lot of fan service of the Alien franchise's high points. Alien, Aliens and Alien: Isolation.

Yeah fan service is probably spot on. I know it's called a teaser trailer but still...

14:28 Yah, I despise that "disturbingly sexualized" shot of the facehugger removal, whether self or by other. And this is causing me to have some cynicism about what we are going to get- horror porn. You know, like car porn, buidling porn, all the porns in this age of social media. I'm not that into Alvarez's output. I hope it all works out well, I do. I went to the theater to see Prometheus, and then outright skipped Covenant. Depending on reviews after release I make up my mind about going to see in theaters.

I was truly impressed with the first half of the trailer, which managed to deliver a genuinely disturbing and terrifying atmosphere, reigniting my hopes that as fans we will finally witness a return to form, giving ode to the original masterpiece that made us all fall in love with the franchise to being with - A dark, brooding, slow-burner that is oozing with atmosphere and terror. Unfortunately, such notions were dismissed with the second half of the trailer, which was packed with fast-paced, action-packed sequences that were more reminiscent of Covenant, perhaps trying to appeal to the fans of Aliens? I can't exactly put my finger on it, but it felt out of place and jarring after the initial 30 seconds of the trailer, and it had me quite disappointed. I hope the actual movie proves me wrong.

The BEST script would be one where Ripley awakens from a nightmare in the Sulaco with Newt and Hicks, and wipes away all the garbage films, and they arrive at a space station where some clever writing reveals a big plot twist, with scientists having previously captured a Zeno for study, and chaos breaks out. There is a great script like this floating around.

I agree he has made maybe the best Alien movie but I feel like his prequels were much less an Alien film than I would have liked sadly. Very interesting films but Covenant really dropped the ball in his what could have been new series of films. It's very difficult to know who else could make a great Alien film but for the most part many of the best directors will not go near the franchise it seems.

One of my biggest issues is that they shot this digitally, which to me takes away a lot of cinematic potential, visually. Digital still looks bland and cheap when compared to older film stock. I think it would have been a ton of fun, had they filmed this on early 80's film stock, or to at least alter the digital look so that it matched closer that older films. The Omen prequel's latest trailer is a great example of clever marketing, where they made a new digital film look very old fashioned. Digital is boring to look at.

It's actually kinda of strange that nobody has made a movie based on Giger's artistic vision. It doesn't necessarily have to be an Alien film but rather the biomechanical horror elements etc. but then I suppose the xenomorph is a big part of that and it's all owned by Disney anyways.

Like you i enjoyed the trailer it was better than i expected. I have a feeling it will be as good as the last Predator movie, enjoyable with pros and cons but nothing on the original. Fede can make gore but as far as intelligent dialogue and storytelling goes he hasn't delivered any in his movies. But, my biggest disappointment is the over use of CGI and not very good CGI at that.

Instead of making another strong, empowered wahmen film, with a diversity, equity, and inclusion cast, why not adapt the book Alien: River of Pain? To see how the colony fell would be much more interesting than this nonsense. Thanks for the video!

I am conflicted to hear these critiques about a proposed movie...only after a 1 minute teaser. Media has just ravaged the enjoyment level of any new presentation. Be it a stand alone or a sequel/prequel film. What happened to the days of going to the movie "blind".....without all these preconceived notions. We ,so called,FANS dissect and fawn over every CGI effect until the enjoyment and wonder is bleached out of any cinema experience. These KZread channels will become a dreaded and moot issue soon enough. Far too many Leaks and predictions are so self defeating. Sorry...I'm cutting off these little nuggets...the Marvel heyday is gone and the rest of the Studio franchises are all crashing. No wonder the big Cinemas are vanishing. I guess TCM and MeTV will rule the next era.

Been there, done that, with the SW prequels and a few others. No thanks. I'll wait for the reviews and then maybe see it streaming. I'm a Gen Xer. My favorite childhood films/franchises have been RUINED by horrible modern renditions, remakes, sequels, and prequels. Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Mad Max, Predator, Alien, Ghostbusters, The Thing, and a dozen more. The same formula: Young diverse cast of terrible wooden actors, massive amounts of bad CGI, bigger/badder enemies/issues, terrible writing, bad plots, and other nonsense. Sure, I can go revisit my old favorite classics, but I (and many fans) hate what has become of these and wish they'd been left undisturbed or done properly. Many of these franchises, like SW and Alien have far more bad entries than excellent ones.

Not at all excited or optimistic about this new offering to a franchise that should've died out a long time ago. I can't imagine anyone would have a fresh take on this when the storyline is consistently the same: a face hugger impregnates a human, a small alien bursts from human chest then becomes a bigger alien later on. Am I missing something? And of course the frail humans will be victorious in the end. Yawn. Show me a movie where all the humans die and the aliens ride off into the sunset. I'll go see that.
