In 1979, director Ridley Scott got caught up in the “Star Wars” hype and knew he needed to direct a space movie.
That movie ended up being “Alien.” Now 45 years later, the Alien franchise is still alive and kicking with the new movie, “Alien: Romulus.” In this latest installment, we start out on a space mining planet with our main character, Rain, played by Cailee Spaeny.
She’s trying to find a way off this hazardous planet, to a better planet, with her “brother” Andy who is really a synthetic her Dad programmed to protect her.
She then is presented with a plan to get them off the planet by her friend Tyler, which is to fly up to another ship floating above the planet and use that to escape.
All of them get up there, along with some others in the group, only to realize it’s not a ship.
It’s a seemingly deserted massive scientific space station.
They move forward with their plan to find some cryo-pods to use for them to cryo-sleep their way to the new planet but you know what they say about best laid plans.
Little do they know that this space station isn’t deserted, it’s a graveyard.
The reason it is, is still on board and this group unintentionally unleash it and itis a nightmare from there.
Soon Rain and the group are being chased down by alien face huggers looking to implant their alien seed.
On top of that they have another synthetic trying to secure some corporate research from the space station and if humans have to die for it, so be it.
The group aren’t allowed off the space station until this mission is complete, all the while, having to try not to get killed or impregnated by killer aliens before the space station crashes.
Is it good enough to blast off out of your house to go see?
