Director Fede Alvarez sought out the special effects crew from Alien 2 (1986) to work on the creatures
Plot
While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonists come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.. Director Fede Alvarez explains the rule he set on Alien: Romulus that "if it can be practical, it will be practical," so that the cast were always acting opposite a physical representation of the xenomorph.. Physical sets, practical creatures, and miniatures were used wherever possible to help ground later VFX work.. When Rain turns off the ship's gravity and shoots all the aliens, all their blood is suspended in midair in long, smear like patterns.

Zero gravity in real life causes liquids to form into sphere shapes, not spread out into long, flat pieces like in the movie..

The 20th Century Studios fanfare freezes and turns ominous, as in Alien 3 (1992), leading into the film's opening scene.The logo itself suffers a burst of static and turns green..

Theme from AlienWritten by Jerry Goldsmith
Saw it last night and was pretty disappointed. There was so much hype for this. It really is just another average Alien film that we really didn't need. Predictable and shallow plot and characters.
A carbon copy
Some bits made me laugh out loud and not in a good way.It's literally a facsimile of the first 2 films in look, feel, tone. Yes there are some new moments that were interesting but moments don't make a movie. The ending was also a complete miss that we already saw in Alien Resurrection.This is the same story for Terminator. We don't need anymore films.

Everything that needs to be said has already been said with the first 2 films.. The final season of "What We Do in the Shadows" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
