Alien: Romulus seems to be taking the Alien franchise forward in a way that neither surprises you nor succeeds in doing so. Even after watching this you will find the previous parts of the Alien franchise much better.
Storyline
The story of this part of the Alien franchise starts from the very beginning in which humans have developed colonies on some planet in the galaxy, but the company that developed these colonies has forced people to work for the never-ending mine. In which the lead character of this film, Rain (Caliee Spaeny) and his robot brother Andy (David Jonsson) are also trapped. In which the lead character of the film Rain and his robot brother Andy are also trapped and they want to go to another planet where they can get the light of the sun.
Rain’s hopes are further dashed when he finds out that his group of friends also want him here. But to do this they will need enough fuel which they will get from the POD placed in a spacecraft which only Andy can help them in bringing because he is a machine and can easily communicate with machines. Rain and his friends succeed in reaching the space station in their spacecraft where they have placed all the fuel PODs. This space station has already been exposed to some disaster in two parts (Romulus and Remus). After pairing their spacecraft with the space station, a few people from the group, Andy, enter the Rolmulus part of the space station.
There they find a ruined synthetic robot ‘Rook’, and while retrieving the POD chambers they accidentally take out a frozen xenomorph whose face locks into that part of Romulus. To rescue them, Rain has installed the chip of the ruined robot in Andy so that Andy can get access to that chip and can rescue the trapped people. While expelling his fallen friends, the xenomorphs also emerge and attack the entire group. To solve the mystery of this Xenomorph, Rain reactivates her half-ruined robot Rook.
Now this whole struggle is to escape from that xenomorph, from here the whole battle of survival begins.
Conclusion
Although there have already been many movies in the Alien franchise, such as Alien, Alien Vs Predator and Alien Covenant, there does not seem to be much connection between all the movies. A similar situation has also happened in this case where the story is not connected to any previous part. From the point of view of acting, the task was to show all the actors only and in which everyone has played their part brilliantly. You won’t see anything new in this film which will make you curious, but it doesn’t mean that everything is bad in this film. This film explains a lot to you from the science side and the visuals of orbits and galaxies soothe your anxieties.
