Alien Romulus is both an homage to the very first Alien film and an worthy addition to the franchise. The film doesn't tread any new ground but ups the ante in every aspect: surprises, suspense, jump scares, action, slime, drooling grossness and quantity of Xenomorphs.




The explorers in this trip are a group of young adults trapped on a mining planet as indentured workers who can never earn enough credits to leave, the rules keep changing in favor of the company. Their only hope of escape is an abandoned research vessel that drifts close to the planet. The ship has cryropods that will enable the 90 year trip to another solar system. Except the Romulus space station is not so abandoned as they think.

The facehuggers are back!



The scenes are dark and claustrophobic. We feel as trapped as the characters with the intensity growing by the minute.




Alien: Romulus must to be watched at night with all the lights off. The film is very dark, my Panasonic plasma TV does 100% black which made the dark scenes extra creepy.

I didn't like it as much.  It took parts of better alien movies and did the "memberberries" of them.  The zero-G sequence was great though.

My wife and I thought it was such an embarrassingly bad rehash of previous visual tropes from the series we turned it off and couldn't even finish the movie. Horrible. Thank goodness we got it from the library and didn't pay money to watch as far as we did. Totally unsympathetic and unbelievable characters as well IMO.

The guy playing the android was great.  But unfortunately he had to say the line that Sigourney Weaver says at the end of Aliens but it doesn't make any sense when he says it.
