I have yet to muster the intellectual and creative energy to write a review of Alien: Romulus. While I thought the movie was okay, I also felt that it failed to meet the lowest of creative baselines: having an actual reason to exist.
Maybe that counts as a review. Whatever.
There was one thing that did rankle me, though. The unnecessary and borderline offensive use of the late Ian Holm's likeness in the film as the quasi-villainous android Rook. It was a part that could, and should, have been played by anyone else. There was zero need to use Holm's likeness.
It was a distasteful distraction to an otherwise mid-to-lower tier monster movie.
