Story
While plundering the depths of an abandoned space station, a group of young space colonists encounter the most fearsome life form in the universe. See how the Alien series movies performed according to IMDb user ratings. Director Fede Alvarez brought in the special effects team from Alien 2 (1986) to work on the creatures. Physical sets, realistic creatures, and miniatures were used wherever possible to support the later VFX work. When Rain turns off the ship’s gravity and shoots all the aliens, their blood floats through the air in long, gooey patterns. In real life, weightlessness causes liquids to form spheres rather than spread out in long, flat pieces like in the movies. Andy: The solution for a claustrophobic astronaut is to give him more space.
Theme from Alien
The 20th Century Studios fanfare freezes and becomes menacing, like in Alien 3 (1992), leading into the film’s opening scene. The logo itself is caught in a static charge and turns green. Featured in Nerdrotic: The Acolyte: The Force Is Female CONFIRMED? The Death of Cinemas – The Real BBC @MauLer @HeelvsBabyface (2024). Written by Jerry Goldsmith. The positives first: good action, great practical special effects and great visuals. Director Fede Alvarez and his production team captured the dark atmosphere of Alien and the thrilling action of Alien almost perfectly.
The action was thrilling with some scary moments
The use of special effects and realistic miniatures was so refreshing in the age of CGI excess. Seeing a fully fleshed out Xenomorph blew me away and the space scenes were gorgeous. The camerawork, visual presentation and use of high quality CGI, while limited when necessary, were excellent. Cons – Average acting, nostalgic story, copy and pasted dialogue from better Alien movies and the inclusion of inferior prequel lore that I wish wasn’t in the official canon. Also, the villain reveal was an “oh get out of here” moment, that’s all I’ll say. Aside from the great lead actress Spaeny, who played her part, the rest of the cast of actors/characters were just fine. I found the nostalgic story to be boring, mind-numbing and almost breaking the fourth wall, it ruined the immersion for me.
The overuse of copy-pasted dialogue from Sigourney Weaver’s best Alien movies was also very embarrassing
I’m tired of sequels/prequels that rely heavily on lazy “memory berries” to delight regular audiences while embarrassing or almost infuriating Alien fans. Honestly, this is just a lazy script and disrespectful to the other Alien movies that made it first! Unnecessary. 20th Century Studios should have called it Alien: Remember due to the overreliance on “oh, you remember that part of…”. Finally, trying to fit all of the controversial and franchise-damaging nonsense from Prometheus into the movie was frustrating. I hated all of the nonsense about the Space Jockey’s origin and the creation of the Xenomorph. And don’t even get me started on the villain, I don’t want to give anything away, but it was ridiculously lazy.
Alien: Romulus, an above-average Alien hit, the fourth best film in the franchise
I think it was a mistake to have the movie take place between the first two movies, because you have to fit your movie into the established continuity of the franchise, with all the connections and plots needed to make it fit. They should have made a sequel set years after Alien: Rebirth, paving the way for a whole new Alien saga to begin long after Weaver’s adventures (and with better writers on board). It had the potential to live up to Aliens, but due to underwhelming characters, a lackluster story by Remember Berry, and a mediocre script, it was a disappointment. Whether they’re exploring the stars, escaping dystopias, or making the world a better place, these women embody the very essence of science fiction.
