Alien: Romulus - Arvostelut

...launches Cailee Spaeny into winning gross-out orbit.

...gets back to the rusted exteriors and primitive computer interfaces of the original movies.

...this is a film that understands the appeal of the original two, and summons the same mysterious, magisterial, mythical mood...

...its dystopian intro is compelling and there are quite a few devilishly constructed scares.

The best aspects of Alien: Romulus are embedded in its ability to be inventive and surprising nearly a half-century into the existence of this franchise...

Evoking the genetic f***ery that always spells doom in these movies, Alien: Romulus is a lean, mean, chimeric beauty.

...the grinding first half is worth enduring for a pleasantly rip-snorting finale.

Tense, terrifying, and icky enough to put you off sex for life.

It’s not quite as brilliantly claustrophobic as the first film, but it’s close enough, and indicative of how much Alvarez understands about why that film remains a masterpiece.
