Alien: Romulus Reviews: Critics Share Strong First Reactions

Looper

The "Alien" movie saga has had its ups and downs. While entries like "Alien: Covenant" and "Prometheus" have received their share of moderately positive attention, the first two movies remain the franchise's brightest gems. Fans of Xenomorph horror would no doubt love to see the first brilliant entry in the series since 1986's "Aliens." Unfortunately, it's still unclear whether that fine day is looming on the horizon. The first reactions to Fede Álvarez's upcoming "Alien" movie are now here — and while many are positive, there's enough division that it remains to be seen whether "Alien: Romulus" will blow you away.

A criminally underseen horror movie from the late 2000s has finally found an audience on Prime Video – and it’s less than 100 minutes long. Some of the best horror movies have twists you can’t forget: Bruce Willis being dead all along in The Sixth Sense (it’s been over 25 years, sorry-not-sorry for the spoiler), the reveal of the killer(s) in Scream, and Sleepaway Camp’s traumatizing final shot, to name a few.

I remember walking out of Alien vs. Predator feeling deflated, standing outside the theater, and wondering if perhaps I just wasn’t a big enough appreciator of either franchise to think the movie was incredibly cool. Hardcore fans seem to take a lot of issues with the continuity, pointing out logic issues and plot holes, or upset that AVP contradicts ideas they’ve always believed to be true about their favorite IPs. Other viewers who weren’t as invested or were willing to accept this excursion as a non-canonical adventure shut their brains off and had a blast with what they saw, but I was somewhere in the middle of these two groups and felt this big brawl under the ice didn’t do it for me, with plot or action. I keep meeting people willing to defend the movie, or who enjoy it, but only on the down low. Years later, however, I’m trying to look at AVP again without comparing it too harshly to the other quality entries, because part of me truly feels like I should like a lot of what it was trying to do.

Making characters from different fictional universes fight each other is an idea as old as the concept of intellectual property. Frankenstein’s monster battled the Wolf-Man in 1943, King Kong vs. Godzilla hit theaters in 1962, and in the world of comic books it's been happening since DC and Marvel came into existence. But the idea of iconic 1980s monsters fighting each other is on another level of superfluity.
