Alien: Romulus fixed a CGI issue for the home video release
Viewers had a negative reaction to a CGI effect in Alien: Romulus, so an attempt was made to fix it for home video
Director Fede Álvarez, says he run out of time to get the look of the character Rook completed to his satisfaction. For the home release, he's apparently spent more money correcting it which according to him, leans more towards the practical animatronic than the CGI face.
As someone who's only seen the first Alien and part of Alien 2, I really enjoyed it.
That's nice, as it was the worst part of the movie. I still don't understand, why they had to use Ian Holmes' face as it wasn't even the same android.
I presume it's the fact they're all just made on a production line like the way all T800,Cyberdyne systems model 101 terminators all look like Arnold.
The fact it looks like Ash means fans are already suspicious of it's intentions, caring more for the preservation of the xenomorph rather than human life. It's also a blatant nostalgic throwback for fans of the original.
Personally, I didn't like the fact it links back to Prometheus. The whole film has too many Easter eggs which was too distracting.
I found the whole movie disappointing, it felt way too disneyesque in its treatment of the originals. So many forced references and unneeded quotes, it distracted and degraded the otherwise decent plot (why the fuck does the android have to quote ripley saving newt? Why does every second shot look like they desperately try to evoke previous imagery?).
I found the exact same scheme in place when watching the predator remake, it hits way too hard on the reference bag, to the point I could predict certain dialogues.
That was seriously dumb and confusing
