Title: Alien: Romulus Release Date: August 16, 2024 Duration: 1 hour 57 minutes Director: Fede Alvarez Starring: Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn, Aileen Wu Genre: Sci-Fi Horror Rating: R Score:...
A prequel set between the events of Alien and Aliens, Alien: Romulus follows a group of young colonists on the derelict space station Romulus who find themselves hunted by the universe’s most lethal life form.
Unfortunately, the characters and their relationships never quite reach the level of depth needed to fully engage the audience. Once the Xenomorph threat makes its presence known, the film kicks into a tense, albeit familiar, game of survival.Visually, Alien: Romulus is a triumph. The filmmakers have meticulously crafted a believable and terrifying world within the confines of the dilapidated Romulus station.
While the human cast delivers serviceable performances, they struggle to elevate their somewhat thinly-written characters. Daniel Betts also deserves praise for his turn as Rook, channelling the spirit of the late Ian Holm's iconic Ash in a way that honours the original.While fans might appreciate the return to a slower, more suspenseful style of sci-fi horror, the film ultimately treads a well-worn path.Additionally, the pacing feels uneven.
