ComingSoon

Runner-ups Purvis – Alien: Resurrection (1997) If pure sci-fi camp is your entertainment of choice, look no further than Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s wacky, if not outride absurd, Alien: Resurrection. Despite solid performances from Sigourney Weaver and Winona Ryder, the fourth movie lacks the artistic flourishes of the previous three entries and trades brains for goofy, B-movie shenanigans. The insanity reaches its apex when a man named Purvis uses a Chestburster to off a bad guy, a ridiculous moment that tosses Resurrection into Sci-Fi movie territory.

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.

Alien: Romulus First Reactions Aren't Holding Back

Xenomorphs are wreaking havoc yet again in Alien: Romulus. Directed by Fede Alvarez (Evil Dead), the film follows a group who try to scavenge their way off a planet. Unfortunately for them, they run into some aliens on what’s supposed to be an in-and-out job. Set between Alien and Aliens, Romulus stars Cailee Spaeny (Civil War), David Jonsson (Industry), and Isabela Merced (Dora and the Lost City of Gold). As the seventh mainline entry in the franchise, you might be wondering if it has any stingers that connect to previous films. So, let’s see if Alien: Romulus has a post-credits scene. Here is our full review of the film itself.

Does Alien: Romulus Have a Post-Credits Scene?

We’re still shook at the complete madness director Fede Alvarez unleashes at the end of Alien: Romulus. Just when you think it’s going to be your basic humans versus aliens movie, he takes things up a notch with a finale that might not work for everyone, but is unforgettable nevertheless. Let’s dig into what happens, what it might mean, how we got there, and all that spoilery stuff.

Let’s Talk About the Ending of Alien: Romulus

One of the greatest twists in the original 1979 Alien isn’t just that there are murderous aliens on the loose with acid for blood, but that you might have a secret robot at your job that you didn’t even know about. As Ash in Alien, the late, great Ian Holm brought a crucial layer to the believability and thrill of the classic film. Not only was the horrible Xenomorph on the loose, but one synthetic crewmember wanted it there.

ALIEN: ROMULUS Introduces A Terrifying New [SPOILER] In Its Savage Final Act

Fede Álvarez cranks up the body horror in the jaw-dropping "Alien: Romulus" ending. Here's a breakdown of it, and if there's a post-credits scene too.

The jaw-dropping 'Alien: Romulus' ending sets it apart from other blockbusters. Here's what happens.

Depending on who you ask, Alien: Romulus is either a return to form, an original standalone sci-fi horror flick, a hackneyed piece of fan service, or a competent cocktail of all three. But one thing is clear: It is certainly an Alien movie, set in the same universe that was launched in 1979, expanded in 1986, and then made complicated by various sequels and prequels. In terms of its chronology, Romulus takes place just 20 years after Alien, which still puts it 37 years before Aliens. The vast 57-year gap between Alien and Aliens creates a pretty big continuity canvas in which Romulus can exist. But does the ending of the movie change our perception of the next chronological film in the series?

How Alien: Romulus' Explosive Ending Sets Up the Franchise’s Most Disturbing Creation

In a world in which no one speaks, a mysterious, devout community hunts down a young woman named Azrael (Samara Weaving) who has escaped their imprisonment. Recaptured by its ruthless leaders, she is to be sacrificed to pacify an evil which resides deep within the surrounding wilderness – but Azrael will stop at nothing to ensure her own freedom and survival.

When your sci-fi franchise includes a giant carnivorous bug that wants to eat and/or impregnate you, it would appear to be the easy pick for the villain of said franchise. However, good sci-fi usually presents something beyond the obvious, and Alien, with its multiple sequels, prequels, and spin-offs, lays out a strong case that the Weyland-Yutani Corporation – and the unchecked, irresponsible capitalism they represent – is in fact the real monster of the Alien franchise, engaging in the kind of corporate greed and employee mistreatment that would make Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk blush with envy.

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.
