Description

So I have to admit, I was cautiously optimistic about this one. The trailer promised a stripped down, back to basics approach to the Alien franchise, with a fresh new cast and a talented horror director at the helm. But does it live up to the promise?

Xenomorphs being destroyed by corporate greed is actually canon funny enough

It's really incredible to look back at the original Alien and realize they managed to collect seven truly excellent character actors in one moderately budgeted sci-fi horror flick. Peter Doyle doesn't get nearly enough credit for assembling that cast.

One thing I really liked about Alien was that when I first saw the movie you didn't know who had the main role, this added a layer of suspense as you didn't know who would make it to the end. In this Alien film, you knew right away who has the main role, and who would have the lead cast plot armor.

I saw an IMDB review that described Romulus the best "An Alien Greatest Hits album sung by a cover band."

The thing I most loved about the original Alien was the long gaps of silence, in which you could subtly hear the humming and whirring of the spacecraft. That really added to the sense of foreboding even though most of the time nothing actually happened. It’s an effect you very rarely see in modern movies.

The first two Alien movies were ALL they needed to be. Just like Terminator and T2. Everything has a beginning and an end for a reason.

"Kids in Space" would have been a more fitting title.
