Alien: Romulus Is An Epic Summer Sci-Fi & Horror Thrill Ride

If you thought the Alien movies were falling off, Alien: Romulus will change all that & will for sure blow your mind and keep you up and at the edge of your seat in the theater. This film, directed by the awesome Fede Alvarez, who directed 2013’s Evil Dead movie, and he completely flips the script on the classic franchise and brings us a fresh new story with a great cast to go with it to give Alien fans a thrilling ride with jump scares galore. This new take on the classic films follows a crew that comes from a high-tech planet that never sees the light of day, literally, it’s nighttime all the time. When crew a crew is in search of a better place, they stumble upon an abandoned space and scavenge pods to take them to the planet that provides them with a chance at a better way of living. What they think will be an easy mission of obtaining lost tech quickly turns into a ruthless, heart racing nightmare when they encounter the iconic Xenomorphs. Alvarez’s direction of this film is truly a masterclass in mixing cyberpunk visuals with edge of your seat horror. I like the way he blended the contrast between sleek, futuristic tech and grimy urban vibe that was reminiscent of the tone in the Sigourney Weaver lead Alien movies. The cast brought it in this movie with performances that added layers to their characters, making each encounter with the aliens hit harder. The CGI, at times, was spot-on, except for a couple scenes that you will notice when you watch it. Outside of that, the effects delivered the kind of vibe you want to see in an Alien movie, with in-your-face horror that fans want Alien: Romulus isn’t just another sequel; it’s a high-energy reimagined thrill ride that nails the perfect combination of sci-fi and horror. If you’re ready for a wild ride filled with jump scares through space that’s both impressive and dangerous, this film’s got you covered. Buckle up, and remember, in space no one can hear you scream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEM1vQrgXfQ
