Alien: Rubicon

Don't waste your time watching this... Bad script, bad acting (really bad), bad CGI. What more could you ask for?

I could only stomach this for 10 minutes, then bailed on it.

Never saw the Alien. Never saw the Rubicon.

I went back and re-watched "Aliens" just to get the taste of this thing out of my head.

Don't get it confused with Alien: Romulus which might be a better flick.

This movie should be up for a Grand Prize in this year's Golden Raspberry Awards.

I wouldn't be surprised if it swept those awards and took home a bushel of raspberries.

It's that bad. Honest.

Take a nap instead of watching this, it will be time better spent.

You can always spot a poorly made film lazy direction, weak screenwriting, and uninspired performances. Casual viewers might be fooled into giving it four stars, but those who truly understand cinema see the flaws immediately. From the very first scene, everything feels off flat cinematography, predictable dialogue, and a lack of artistic vision. A great film is more than just aesthetics and spectacle; it requires depth, intentional storytelling, and performances that breathe life into every frame. This one fails on all counts.

The problem with bad films isn't just technical flaws it's the absence of passion and originality. A director with a true vision knows how to craft tension, evoke emotion, and make every frame meaningful. When a movie lacks that, it becomes nothing more than a forgettable, soulless product. Some audiences might accept mediocrity, but for those who truly appreciate cinema, it's impossible to ignore when a film is nothing more than a hollow imitation of better works.

I've enjoyed some of The Asylum's movies and have to admit their special effects have gotten better. Many times their movies fall into the so bad and ridiculous they are great category, but unfortunately this is not one of them. For all it's OK effects, 99% of this movie is just actors standing around in a room talking about the action. If you've seen the trailer you have seen the entire minute of good stuff in this fiasco. As usual there is some LOL absurd dialogue but not enough to make this enjoyable. While watching this and being bored by it I did wonder what these actors do when they get a call telling them they got the part in a movie from The Asylum ? Cry ? Laugh and curse fate ? Wonder how they're going to spend the $45 paycheck ? Not worth watching.

I cannot believe Asylum got Michael Paré to play in this Alien Romulus copywrite infringement garbage. This studio has got to be breaking laws somehow by duping unsuspecting theater goers who may mistake this for the latest Alien movie Romulus, or even a newer one than that due to the "different" title "Rubicon" It is a crying shame that resources have to be wasted on trash from people who obviously have nothing to offer original in their lives but to steal others ideas and trash them so miserably. I couldn't get through just a few minutes in when I looked up the studio company and saw "Asylum" then I shut it off. Don't waste your time unless you have NOTHING else to watch at all.

Like another reviewer I thought it was something to do with the Aliens franchise but this movie doesn't even deserve the title of movie, instead it should be called a hodgepodge of how not to act. All the main actors were over doing their roles, especially the man playing the helicopter pilot. Possibly the only actor who played their role correctly was the daughter, she sort of held back her "enthusiasm" and seemed the most normal.

Some of the special effects were good, possibly the only saving grace, though someone needs to learn how to do explosions properly.

All up a waste of money and time.
