Alien: Romulus, directed by Fede Álvarez, is hailed as the best Alien film in decades. Positioned between the original Alien and Aliens, it revives the franchise's classic horror elements with a retro-futuristic aesthetic and anti-corporate themes.
The story follows twentysomething colonists, led by standout performances from Cailee Spaeny and David Jonsson, as they encounter xenomorphs aboard an abandoned space station.
Álvarez uses practical effects to craft a suspenseful, haunted-house-in-space experience, though the film is slightly crowded with nods to past installments, making it a standout yet not a 'perfect organism.'
