Only a deal if you are a fan of physical media and fan of the franchise. Cheapest I have seen so far.

Yes I know you can stream it, but I personally prefer to own movies that I like or want, and I want the best quality sound and vision for my AV system.

The 4K is definitely region free but no idea if the std blu ray in this is region free though.

    How about a "this film is terrible" comment instead ?

      I loved it.
      Felt like a proper throw-back to the OG Alien/s even down to the set design, rather than the generic "sci-fi" look of Covenant and such.

      Brb, going to play Isolation now.

  It's on Prime Video if you already are a Prime member. Watched it the other day, it's a good two-hour killer but slightly on a disappointment side for me.

    As I commented, I have yet to watch it but the general consensus from my friends that have would agree with you.

    What I really want to happen is for Ridley Scott to do a 3rd prequel that ties into the original movie. Probably not likely to happen unfortunately. If it does, it will have to be soon, as Ridley is no spring chicken, lol.

    Everything after the original Alien has been a disappointment for me.

      I feel a bit different about them than you do. I like all of them, some more than others though.

      For what my insignificant opinion is worth, not yet having seen Romulus, my order would be;

      Alien,
      Aliens,
      Covenant, but wavering between Covenant and Aliens for 2nd place.
      Prometheus,
      Alien 3,
      Resurrection.

      And the Alien v Predator movies a very distant 6th.

  I wasn’t a huge fan of Alien - Romulus, but I found Goodfellas 4K HDR… which is a must for any collection!

    Great movie, haven't watched in years. I thought I had it, but just checked and I don't. Added to list of movies to buy. Thanks for the reminder:)

  Is this cut with the janky CGI/animatronic Ian Holm head, or the fixed one?

  EDIT:

  For the "Alien: Romulus" home release (4K UHD, Blu-ray, and digital), director Fede Alvarez addressed fan concerns about the CGI used to depict Ian Holm's character, Rook, by re-working the effects to rely more on practical effects and less on digital manipulation, resulting in a more believable visual.
  Here's a more detailed breakdown:
  The Problem:
  During the initial theatrical release, some viewers found the CGI used for Rook, the character with the likeness of the late Ian Holm, to be unconvincing.
  The Solution:
  Alvarez, in collaboration with the studio, secured additional time and resources to revisit and improve the CGI for the home release.
  The Improvement:
  The team leaned more heavily on practical effects, including an animatronic head created by Shane Mahan, which was based on a head cast from "Lord of the Rings".
  The process:
  The team used a mix of practical and digital techniques, but for the home release, they reverted to using the animatronic head more often, resulting in a more believable visual.
  Alvarez's Perspective:
  Alvarez stated that he wasn't 100% happy with the original CGI and that the home release allowed them to "fix it" and "make it better".
  Fan Feedback:
  While the improved CGI is an improvement, some fans still find the character's appearance to be somewhat uncanny.

  I quite enjoyed this one. There was some good horror elements, the photography and composition was good, and some characters absolutely got their deserved comeuppance.
