Got around to watching Alien Romulus last night. It does seem like the first Alien film in... *checks notes*... 33 years (!?)... to "get" the franchise.
It was great, right up until That Moment, where ugh... why didn't it just end before that? I mean, it was clear this would happen, but I did not need to see it.
The one good thing I will say to that (and a lot of design stuff in the film) is that it really channeled how fucked up Giger's mind was. It fits, even if I don't like it.
