Alien: Romulus (2024) directed by Fede Alvarez. Just to be clear, I was one of the few who actually liked and enjoyed Prometheus. If you didn't, but you defend the final creature in Romulus then I call bullshit and I'm going to punch you. Romulus is filled with action as well as worn and tired tropes borrowed from every Alien film that preceded it. And, in the case of the opening scenes in the mining colony, it is also borrows heavily from Blade Runner. This is the Alien film that pushes too far for me. The two leads, Rain and Andy, though, provide excellent performances as "new Ripley" and "the android."
This one's a mixed bag. If you aren't a fan of the franchise then I recommend a pass.
Streaming on Hulu.
