Alien: Romulus marks the return of the iconic franchise to the big screen for the first time in seven years. And that of course means we have a duty to see it because two years ago we reviewed every single Alien movie (AvP doesn't count). Directed by horror filmmaker Fede Alvarez, Romulus is set in a distant colony where a group of young settlers finds themselves wanting for a better life. Unfortunately for them, their mission takes them to an "abandoned" space station where they have to survive the Xenomorphs. We discuss the fresh energy brought by a talented cast of younger actors, including Cailee Spaeny as Rain, who perfectly over the mantle from Ripley. The film's relentless atmosphere of dread and strong horror elements bring the terror and creativity of the series to new heights. And with an awesome and satisfying climax, Alien: Romulus is bound to greatly please long-time fans. Then after the review, we have to determine which Alien sequel should now be considered the best (because nothing tops Ridley's original film).
