Alien: Romulus is a solid franchise tribute plagued by weird optics

Summary

Nutrition label

61% Informative

The film’s intricate set design alone makes it one of the series’ most visually impressive chapters.

The few new ideas Romulus does bring to the table are undercut by its insistence on leaning into some very questionable optics.

Cailee Spaeny and David Jonsson bring compelling performances as Rain, Andy , and Andy .

Romulus does a piss poor job of presenting the characters’ relationship in a way that makes it feel like one built on believable, reciprocal love.

Andy is programmed to follow Rain around and tell knock-knock jokes to lift her spirits; Rain is usually there to reboot him when he glitches out.

Romulus winds up spending so much time showing you how much humans hate synths like Andy that the movie’s left with almost no space to properly develop its other characters enough to make their battles with Xenomorphs particularly memorable.
