Surely it's got to be recognised for those practical SFX. Maybe Make-Up and Costume as well.
Such a superb cinema experience. Built for a decent screen and audio setup.
My local is garbage, I made sure to travel to a much newer and better equipped cinema.
Half the poor experiences I've had in the last few years are down to aging movie theatres. A lot in the UK could do with some love.

I really hope so! Be great to see! Sci-fi & horror don't tend to get the recognition usually... so blending the two is going to be tough to get acclaim.

Anyway what's important is fans love it. It'd just be nice to see it recognised as worthy of some accolades imo; as it was no mean feat to produce something this good, with the landscape as it was for the Alien franchise. It's easily the best thing since Aliens for me.

Yes you have to give films like this the big screen bells & whistles for sure!

Be interesting to see how much each cost to make... I'm too lazy to look it up myself

Very glad there were no restrictions in China because they earned Alien Romulus an extra 95 million dollars so far

'Alien: Romulus' is the rare Hollywood success at the Chinese box office, a market where local films are now dominant.

Cheers chaps

Not surprised to see Prometheus was the most expensive. Alien by far the cheapest and still my absolute favourite though. Just goes to show money isn't everything!
