Alien: Romulus
2024
🎯 Verdict
✍️ Full Review
The Anti-Elon-Bezos sci-fi horrorRevival of an old project which has a stink that even the original creator couldn't get rid of and that means new faces, fresh new premise and a setting, embracing the horror side of it rather than the science fiction side and above all, putting Xenomorph at the centre stage instead of as a nuisance making straggler and the most important of 'em all, removing David from the principal plot. Too many shots with amber at the focus which makes it funnier without Ridley being at the helm, but, then again we are familiar with Alvarez's filmography. So, it's not missing the mark by quite a bit of wide berth. Still pretty ballsy there to expand the lore from Alien Resurrection. Romulus is more like a horror video game than a full-fledged movie.
