ALIEN: ROMULUS || MOVIE REVIEW

Alien Romulus takes us into a dark corner of the universe, a place where the light of distant stars barely reaches, and the silence of space is almost deafening. Here we meet space colonists Rain Caridine played by Kaley Spani, a determined and resourceful young woman who has spent her life in the harsh environment of space.

Alongside her is her android brother, Andy, portrayed by David Johnson, whose advanced capabilities and unwavering loyalty, make him an invaluable ally on their perilous journey.
They're escaping a harsh mining colony controlled by the ruthless Wailand Utani Corporation, a powerful entity that exploits its workers and prioritizes profit over human life.

Their goal, to steal cryopods from the abandoned Renaissance space station, a once thriving hub now left to decay in the cold vacuum of space. But things go terribly wrong when they encounter face huggers and a hive of xenomorphs, deadly alien creatures that turn their mission into a nightmare.

What follows is a desperate fight for survival that's both thrilling and terrifying, as Rain and Andy must use all their wits and strength to outsmart and outlast the relentless alien threat.
Amidst the chaos, the bond between Rain and Andy is tested, revealing the depth of their relationship and the sacrifices they are willing to make for each other.

Alien Romulus is not just a tale of survival,
but also a story of hope and resilience, as our heroes strive to find a new beginning in the vast, unforgiving, expansive space. Let me tell you, as an alien fan, this movie was an absolute roller coaster of emotions. The suspense and action were relentless, keeping me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. The special effects, simply fantastic, and the story, it held my attention every single moment, weaving a narrative that was both gripping and emotionally engaging.

The characters were well developed, and their struggles felt real and compelling. Every twist and turn in the plot had me gasping in surprise and excitement, and can we talk about the visuals for a moment? They were nothing short of breathtaking. The alien landscapes were absolutely stunning, with vibrant colors and intricate details that made you feel like you were truly on another planet.

The makeup and costumes were spot on, bringing the alien characters to life in a way that was both believable and mesmerizing. Alien Romulus may not reach the heights of the original Alien or Aliens, but it carves out its own niche. The original Aliens horror and Aliens action set a high bar, yet Romulus brings something new.

It ties together elements from previous films impressively, enhancing the series. I regret listening to reviews that labeled it bad. Critics missed the nuances that make it special.
While the magic of the first two films is unmatched, each new installment brings fresh perspectives and innovative storytelling.
The alien universe is full of potential with endless possibilities.

I'm excited to see where the franchise goes next.
Now, let's talk about the characters. This is the film's weakest aspect. The characters lack the depth and complexity we expect from this franchise. They aren't as memorable or interesting as those in the first two films.
The original characters were iconic with unique traits and compelling backstories.

However, considering it follows several disappointing entries in the franchise, I'm willing to give this one a good mark. It's a step in the right direction. I hope future installments focus on stronger characters and deeper stories.
The potential is there, and with the right focus, the next film could really shine.
