Hi folks, first time poster so let me know if this kinda post belongs anywhere else. Just saw alien romulus and wanted to see others thoughts on the movie :-).

Personally the visuals were great and the xenomorph itself terrifying but I didn’t care much for the story and the characters seemed a little 2dimensional. I also think it drifted a little away from the fear factor to shock. I’d say 6/10. Enjoyable watch but nothing special.

      The Prometheus sequel was Alien: Covenant. Also not a great film.

      Alien vs Predator is non-canon (if you can even give this series a “canon” anymore), so I guess the number is either 5, 7, or 9 movies depending on which things you see as part of “the series”.
