Xenomorph Trouble

Alien: Romulus (2024 Film)

Set between the events of Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986). The film stars Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu.

It follows two pairs of siblings and couples, all downtrodden young space colonists, who encounter hostile creatures while scavenging a derelict space station.

This takes a lot from the first two films. It has the gritty realism of the first, then in the third act has the action of the second.

I would put this on a par with the first four films. The more recent ones are ponderous rubbish. In the end the numbers speak for themselves; a $350 million box office based on an &80 million budget.
