Here’s our review.
For many fans, theAlienfranchise officially ended after James CameronsAliens.
Their only mission is to find a way out of danger.
20th Century
Its a simple but effective throwback to the film that Scott once famously pitched as Jawsin space.
The film doesnt wreak havoc across the timeline
TheAlientimeline spans centuries.
For the most part,Alien: Romulusgets it right, though there are one or two slip-ups here.
Case in point: The title of the film.
In the mythology, Romulus kills Remus to take the empire of Rome.
The analogy works here, establishing the fractured relationship between the humans and aliens and how they cant coexist.
In the end, one must die for the other to rule.
The question is: Who is Romulus and who is Remus in this scenario?
The more that one thinks about it, though, the more the concept makes sense.
As the films demonstrate, the DNA of the creatures evolve with every other organism they infect.
Undoubtedly, the finale ofAlien: Romulusdivides the audience right down the middle.
Its the ultimate love letter written both in blood and acid.
