With its 45th anniversary celebration, the Alien franchise expanded its universe with its latest release Alien: Romulus. Several Alien: Romulus’ First Reactions are praises placing the movie among the most anticipated upcoming sci-fi movies in 2024. Now, while there are tonnes of positive reviews for the new addition to the franchise, there are certain mixed emotions as well.
On one hand, critics like Borys Kit of The Hollywood Reporter called it “summer’s best movie” and “crazy new direction“, others are not quite so sure about it. For instance, IGN’s Amelia Emberwing didn’t find the character-building impressive and compared every set piece to the video games.
Another critic Isaac Feldberg showered Cailee Spaeny with praises for her performance but also kept himself away from being called a fan of the new movie. Then we witnessed Reporter and author Max Evry giving us the clue of cleverly hidden fact among the Alien: Romulus’ First Reactions that Alien: Romulus had some elements hinted from all 6 previous flicks.
Here’s a series of tweets talking about Alien: Romulus
Maestro @fedalvar made an ALIEN movie that is both chock-o-block with new lore & wall-to-wall memberberries. Not just a tribute to the first two, but a franchise-binding entry with elements of all 6 previous flicks. Some all-time banger set pieces! #AlienRomulus is big big fun. pic.twitter.com/RkREXPEtDl

#AlienRomulus is the first time I have been terrified during one of the Alien movies. Cailee Spaeny's Rain is a perfect character to follow on this journey and through Fede Álvarez's twists and turns, you never really know where Romulus is headed. The 3rd act is truly WILD. I dig… pic.twitter.com/vEaiz5966B

Fede Alvarez’s #AlienRomulus is gnarly, gripping & gorgeously bleak (everything from the story to Olivares’ cinematography to Wallfisch’s score). Innovatively delivering smart, savvy stuff, subtly playing the greatest hits. Cailee Spaeny & David Jonsson dominate. This rules! pic.twitter.com/kEuDZku2Oz
