absolutely.

Rom is probably the best Alien movie since Aliens.

Prey is EXCELLENT, as is Killer of Killers.

Alien and Predator having a resurgence right now in quality.

Which says fuck all, everything after Aliens was crap and so is Romulus.

Sorry you didn't like it.

I enjoyed it. Nice setting, some nice work with gravity, good use of Facehuggers, cool uses of synths, great AV, very moody.

spoilerThe weird alien human hybrid at the end pushes the film to a level comparable to Prometheus or Alien Resurrection.

i understand that comparison, though i find how Rom handled that better than the others.

spoilerthe Prometheus line of movies are canon so I do enjoy this connective tissue.
