Foreigner Movies have always been a big deal, and this weekend Alien: Romulus is quite significant. It’s been almost a decade since the last film, and this is the first (but not the last!) piece Foreigner Media after Disney bought Fox. With Fede Álvarez behind the camera and Ridley Scott as producer, there were some really good trailers and behind-the-scenes footage that teased good scares. After the first impressions were pretty strong, what fans had hoped for seemed to be confirmed: Foreigner was back.
Romulus has received largely good reviews and reactions on social media and is considered one of the better sequels in the series. People who have seen it say it is plenty creepy and atmospheric and gross as previous films were in the best sense, and appreciate how it builds on the previous film. Conversely, there are some who feel that it to much from the previous films, and the all-new swings don’t quite work and might even ruin the film in some ways. Even then, those who don’t like it acknowledge that it looks great visually and that Álvarez has done a good job of proving that the franchise still has some blood left in it. prey new energy for the Predator Franchise, and the same goes for Romulus and its mothership franchise.
