Ok, I'm not naming any specific scenes as my top 5, but rather 5 quality points.
1. The look.
From start to finish.
Everything looks incredibly good.
(Ok except for Rook, but even I didn't think that was so bad the second time I watched it)
2. The tension flow.
It feels a bit like a trip through a ghost train, but the film is never boring for a second and the tension continues to build.
3.Creature Design. The aliens and facehuggers look much better than in Ressurection, for example.
I have now made peace with the offspring. You learn to appreciate it more when you see the work and talent behind it.
4.Sound and music.
The sound effects are some of the best in the entire saga.
The music was also great, although sometimes too techno-heavy for my taste.
I love the choruses when Big Chap is brought back.
Reminded me a little of The Omen.
5. The cast.
YES THE CAST.
They play really well. They usually behave exactly as the situation requires.
They act believably.
You take away their fear.
I also can't understand why some people say that we don't learn enough about the characters.
Within 5 minutes we learned a lot more than we did from the crew of the Nostromo.
In itself, Romulus is a really great film.
Yes, I have my problems with the logic and therefore also the canon. I actually don't count it as part of the original series at the moment. In order to do that, a few things would have to be clarified and a few things would have to have been done completely differently.
At the moment I would say that for me Romulus is the best fan film in the world.
