Review by afiazuddin-00400

Let me start by saying this is a very good stand-alone Science Fiction Horror movie. And it does justice and honor to the original 1979 Alien film masterpiece by Ridley Scott that birthed the most terrifying space Alien creature in movie making. The xenomorph. But the movie did not "wow" me. The acting was ok. The sets were good (as they should be given the gift of CGI). And the bare necessary links to the original Alien universe are made - placing it temporally after the original Alien film and the happenings upon the ill-fated Nostromo. But there was nothing new, no real twist, nothing setting up for a future thematic diversion. That was the intended task of Prometheus and Covenant, which never got finished. So - while I am obviously bitter about that, don't mistake my gripes with discouragement from Alien:Romulus. Like I said to start, it is very good.
