Alien: Romulus
On a distant mining planet, the Weyland-Yutani Corporation is at it again; abusing & taking advantage of their workers and hiding some secrets. Disenchanted teens have hatched a plan to escape their hopeless situation. They plan to salvage the cryostasis chambers on the deactivated space station Romulus-Remus & to use them on their light years long trip to freedom. However, this is where it all goes wrong when they accidentally unleash the xenomorphs & facehuggers. This sets up the teen slasher/horror genre theme played out in space with a huge homage to the Alien franchise. This timeline takes place between ”Alien” & “Aliens”. If you are familiar with the franchise, certain visual keys will suggest what might happen next. If not, just hang on for the wild ride. It becomes “10 Little Indians” as you start guessing who will die & who will survive. This new young next generation of potential victims does a great job of keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. Film makers have created some amazing visuals for this out-of-this-world concept. Learn more about the xenomorph life cycle & how they track you without eyes. Explore more into what makes these synthetic humans tick & how humans relate to them.
Alien gives it 3½ “In space, there is no gravity” stars out of 4.
