The movie starts out really promising, then it pulls the rug out exactly an hour in. The Designated Nerd goes on a rant about how Humans are only smart enough to destroy ourselves and that "*We don't rule the planet! Sure, we change the environment, but once the Earth gets tired of us it will shake us off like a summer cold.*" Whatever, dude. He later reveals himself to be a little comrade.

There's also a Latinx family (*I use that label intentionally*) with a girl boss daughter, her cucked dad, ugly little spic sister and buffoon pothead boyfriend who always gets everyone in trouble; which of course Ms. Girl Boss always gets them out of because she's got the balls. You will NEVER fear for their safety because [Latinos buy more movie tickets per capita than any other demographic in the U.S.](https://remezcla.com/lists/film/mpaa-theatrical-market-statistics-report-2016/) and Pedowood jews want to keep them happy.

Rupert Friend, cast here as Evil Rich White Man, is ... well, rich and evil and there for you to hate him because it's not enough to just fear the dinosaurs. Mahershala Ali, who was handed an Oscar for being black and muslim, is there to be the strong, masculine, heroic foil to Evil Rich White Man ... BUT never to outshine Scarlett Johansson's Navy SEAL SpecOps TactiKool Recon Bad Bitch.

It was also weird how the Big Bad Dino is not so much a dino as it is a leftover "Cloverfield" monster. Because it's directed by Gareth Edwards, the monster is only on screen for literally 2 minutes (*just like he did in his "Godzilla" movie*), looks literally retarded (*like himself*) and is entirely unmemorable (*like his directing career.*) However, I did get a little chuckle out of the female pilot of the rescue helicopter crashing into the dinosaur in light of the Potomac River crash.

... honestly, it's all so very tiring, exhausting and fatiguing. It's all paint-by-ideology bullshit. — 0/5 🍿

*Covenant* is kind of dull by comparison to *Romulus*. The former plays around with some wildly heady concepts that just don't materialize well on screen, or, they didn't know how to shoot it.

It retconned peoples imagination about the aliens into some rogue android trying to gene splice... which I personally thought was kind of creepy, sort of a Frankenstein inception, but I think people have been wanting to see an alien home world since the first film.

In any case, *Romulus* uses a couple old bones from *Covenant's* storyline, but ultimately tells it's own story with a completely new cast, save for one very old throwback.

I've never wanted to see a Xenomorph "home world" because it's antithetical to the whole premise that the Xenomorph are a kind of parasite, more specifically a parasitoid, meaning they must kill their host to complete their life cycle. They don't have a "home world" because their specifies just hijacks whatever world they can reach. That's what really makes them scary -- *like the alien invaders coming over our borders, they threaten to hijack our nation and wipe out our genes with their own!*

If you've ever watched *"Alien"* with the director commentary on, Ridley Scott explains a lot about what he thought the alien was and how they were used.

Essentially they were a bio-weapon created by one race in order to use against another. The ship from the first film was a bulk transporter that must have had a accident and met an untimely fate.

So, to your credit, you're absolutely on the mark. There isn't an alien home world and never was, and it was never intended.

But the vast amount of movie watchers are absolutely fucking retarded, and connected the alien life cycle (face hugger, soldier, queen) to an actual species and home world. It's the McDonalds of imagination when it comes to these films.

That's insane. I was actually being facetious, but damn! I have the Anniversary Edition Blu-ray but I can't say that I've given the time to listen to the commentary; and I am one to appreciate those kind of supplements.
