It has a very Alien: Romulus vibe - high production values although it's really "dark" visually, seems like it will have lots of fan service and limited new ideas. Old, but new! Sigh...
Even though Prometheus had significant problems, at least it reached higher. This doesn't appear to be reaching beyond what came before at all. |

Date: August 15th, 2025 2:11 AM Author: Iridescent violent stag film I watched the first two episodes (all that’s been released so far) of the FX/Hulu show Alien: Earth tonight. I wanted something light and brainless and it’s delivered it so far; there’s really not much to dissect here content wise. It’s very reminiscent of the recently released movie Alien: Romulus which I surprisingly liked because of its quite strong production values and my very low expectations. Earth’s production values are significantly worse - everything is crouched in dark cinematography, even though the season supposedly cost $250+ million - but it delivers some minor scares and creepy atmosphere so far.
Both Romulus and Earth suffer from the same problem, though: a lack of imagination. Just like Star Wars and every other remake and sequel these days, the producers/writers think the audience wants “the same as before, just with a different twist.” And they’re right - it’s slop for the masses, fan service, it pays dividends and makes money, and it’s oh so boring.
While Prometheus had significant problems with its script, especially in the form of character choices, and it bizarrely cut most of the most important scene from the film (only available as a deleted scene, when the engineer wakes up), it at least tried to be different even as it kept the underlying Alien form (i.e. ship goes to another planet or is in space, alien kills everyone, alpha female protagonist knows the alien better than everyone else and is the lone or almost lone survivor). Prometheus introduced the engineer (an amazing character) and how the engineer race gave birth to humanity, that it had a totally different conception of birth and death than we do, it introduced the alien as a bioweapon intended to destroy humanity with, and it implicitly tied that intent to the death of Christ.
In both Romulus and Earth, there is no mythology being built, there is no attempt to change the underlying perspective or mythos of what came before. Instead - change the setting a bit, change the technology a bit (in Romulus the android personalities could be changed with a data stick, in Earth there’s different types of robots), maybe have a slightly different alien, the end.
Yawn. Boring. I may continue watching it for mindless entertainment - other than the now ubiquitous race mixing and female empowerment it hasn’t pushed for much underlying symbolic manipulation - but I knew after the first episode what I was going to get, and it did deliver that same shlock in the second.

Also the early scenes on the ship were straight up fan service, entire crew sitting around the table, etc, they nailed that. |

alien has always had a weird mix of colored people among the lower classes. it seemed to add to the dystopian feel of the future.
"Somebody said alien...Sanchez thought they said illegal alien and signed up."
when i saw the cyborg in the first episode the first thing i thought was what a good job they'd done finding a Yaphet Kotto stand in.
