Review of the film ‘Alien: Romulus’ (2024)
Alien is the media franchise of films, TV and web series, novels, comics and video-games that is centered on mankind colonizing space and encountering the parasitoid xenomorph species. Alien: Romulus is the ninth film, set in the year 2142 AD, after the Alien vs. Predator films, Prometheus (2012), Alien: Covenant (2017), and Alien (1982), and before Aliens (1986), Alien 3 (1992), and Alien Resurrection (1997), making it not a sequel nor a prequel - hence, a midquel. Let’s just say it is a sequel of Alien set before Aliens. At the beginning of the film, a scene shows a human spaceship finding a piece of the Nostromo in space - and, you guess it, it contains a nasty surprise inside. Later on, in colony LV-410 we find the protagonists. A group of five workers fed up with being exploited by the Weyland-Yutani corporation aspire to reach an inhabitable planet ouf of the Weyland-Yutani grasp. They already have a cargo spaceship and a defective android, so the only thing they need is cry
