Alien: Romulus had a blockbuster opening weekend abroad, with the $100 million plus gross a robust indicator that the franchise is again, with additional films within the collection a positive factor (plus there’s the FX TV present coming quickly). Right here on JoBlo, we gave the film a really stable 7/10 score. Because the critic who wrote the assessment, my challenge was that about 75% of the film was a kick-ass house horror film, just for it to be considerably hampered by 25% of the movie, which appeared a holdover from the Ridley Scott prequels, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant.
This sense was echoed by our resident horror guru, Tyler Nichols, in a chunk he did breaking down the film’s SPOILERS. He and I agreed this facet is noticeable within the film’s final act. Nevertheless, we additionally disagreed over one divisive facet of the film, the place a traditional Alien character returned by way of some less-than-convincing CGI. I didn’t love this addition, however Tyler had no challenge with it.
With the critiques on Rotten Tomatoes largely constructive, with an 81% recent score from critics and an 86% viewers rating, it appears most people are digging Fede Alvarez’s continuation of the franchise.
