First Reactions for ‘Alien: Romulus’ Are In, and It Seems We’re In for a Treat

by

As someone who has spent countless nights huddled under blankets during Alien marathons, I can confidently say that my love for this franchise knows no bounds. The original story may have been penned by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett, but it was Ridley Scott who truly brought the terror to life on the silver screen. Now, as a seasoned fan, I’ve seen my fair share of Xenomorphs, but the upcoming Alien: Romulus has managed to leave me utterly intrigued.

Few realize that the acclaimed Alien franchise was initially conceived by the late author Dan O’Bannon and his collaborator Ronald Shusett, as they penned the original narrative. It was director Ridley Scott‘s Alien film that catapulted the franchise into prominence, shaping its enduring legacy. Today, Alien stands among the top and most cherished science fiction and horror franchises.

Since then, it has continued to broaden its cosmic horizons and delve into the roots of its own universe. However, the latest addition – the forthcoming “Alien: Romulus” – is a return to the present timeline of the universe, as it will be positioned between “Alien” and “Aliens”. The film is scheduled for release on August 16, 2024, and today, we’re getting our first glimpses of the upcoming movie.

In this article, we’ll share some of the initial responses from people who got an early sneak peek at the upcoming movie, “Alien: Romulus“.

The movie we mentioned earlier is set to release in August. Known for his horror films, director Fede Álvarez is at the helm, having co-written the script with Rodo Sayagues, his regular partner. Benjamin Wallfisch has been announced as the film’s composer. For the main characters, Cailee Spaeny takes the lead as Rain Carradine, David Jonsson portrays Andy, Archie Renaux is Tyler, and Isabela Merced plays Kay. Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu are part of the cast in roles yet to be revealed.

Some time has passed since we watched the trailer, and now we’re eager to discover what initial responses from the fortunate viewers are. Here are their first impressions:

The movie ROMULUS is astonishing! It boasts remarkable special effects, particularly a stunning human-alien transformation. What’s more, an unforeseen third act musical sequence unfolds that, despite having no apparent reason to succeed, manages to do so brilliantly. Actress Amika Spaeny delivers an outstanding performance by screaming, fighting, dancing, and singing her way into the prestigious Final Girl Hall of Fame.
