Romulus

In 2142, at the Jackson colony, Rain Carradine lives with her synthetic "brother" Andy that was reprogrammed by her father with the prime directive to protect her after the death of her parents. The Weyland-Yutani Corporation that administrates the colony forces the colonists to stay in Jackson prolonging the contracts of miners and farmers keeping them like slaves. When Rain's ex-boyfriend Tyler has his contract extended by the corporation, he convinces Rain to join his team, formed by his sister Kay, who is secretly pregnant, their cousin Bjorn and his sister Navarro, who is adopted, to travel to an abandoned station to flee to the planet Yvaga. They need Andy to interact with the computer system and they also need to recover the stasis chambers of the suspended animation for a nine-year trip to Yvaga. They go to the station and Andy and Bjorn realize that the chambers need cryogenic fuel for the trip. They go with Andy and accidentally unleash alien creatures, and there is a lockdown of the section. Rain uses the chip of the synthetic Rook that is damaged to update Andy to have access to all the functions of the station, but he becomes loyal to Weyland-Yutani Corporation and Rain is relegated to a second plane. But soon the creatures attack one by one of the Rain's friends. Will someone survive the alien creatures?

Directed by Fede Álvarez, the 2024 film Alien: Romulus successfully revitalizes the franchise by returning to its roots, bridging the claustrophobic survival horror of Ridley Scott’s original with the visceral adrenaline of James Cameron’s sequel. Chronologically set between the first two entries, the story follows a group of desperate young colonists attempting to escape their grim mining planet by scavenging an abandoned space station. Álvarez leverages his background in intense horror to construct a suffocating, atmospheric experience where tactile environments, precise sound design, and practical effects reign supreme. At the heart of the narrative is the compelling dynamic between Rain and her synthetic brother Andy, providing the film with a deeply resonant emotional core. David Jonsson delivers a breakout performance as Andy, seamlessly shifting between vulnerable devotion and cold, calculating efficiency as his internal directives are updated. Cailee Spaeny leads the cast with grounded grit, establishing a formidable presence without merely copying Ripley. Balancing reverent nostalgia with terrifying new creature concepts, Alien: Romulus emerges as a thrilling, skillfully executed entry that triumphantly honors the legacy of the saga.
