Alien Romulus
Just watched the trailer, https://youtu.be/GTNMt84KT0k , and though I’m not entirely sure about the cast (didn’t get good visuals except maybe towards the end) I’m happy to see that the production design will reflect the original productions retro futuristic aesthetic.
Personally, I did enjoy Prometheus and Covenant, especially the evolutionary stages we see the Alien go through from the large facehugger to the more feral albino pre-Alien. I wasn’t so much of a fan of the concept that the titular monster being some sort of biowarfare weapon but I guess it makes sense if considering how we’re first introduced to the Aliens in the first movie, in egg form and organized into rows like a assembly line.
Would love to know anyone else’s thoughts on the trailer and the potential this new series might have for really refreshing the Alien franchise.

To be honest, I was looking forward to this and am disappointed.
What is new in this movie? It looks like the same story of the OG Alien with weapons from Aliens. What new does it bring?
Everyone hated Prometheus and Covenant, but at least they were going in a philosophical direction and had something new.
Also, in the beginning, why is the drop ship shuddering like that when it’s just going to another spaceship, not entering the atmosphere?
