What is it about Romulus that has thousands of viewers commenting enthusiastically?

It took nearly a decade since Alien: Covenant (2017), the famous space monster franchise returned to the big screen with the movie Alien: Romulus . The movie's title is quite "catchy" from the name of the Roman emperor Romulus Augustus. It is not clear what the director meant by this movie title, but Alien: Romulus was "promised" by the Western press that this will be a movie with a lot of horror and violence elements added.

Cailee Spaeny in Alien: Romulus

One possible reason for this is that Fede Álvarez, the Uruguayan director known for works like Evil Dead (2013) and Don't Breathe (2016), is very fond of horror and pushes things to the climax in his films.

In the recently released trailer for Alien: Romulus , the audience sees the appearance of a new female warrior, Rain Carradine (played by Cailee Spaeny - a rising young star through many films such as Vice , Bad Times at the El Royale ). This will be the character "following in the footsteps" of female warrior Ripley, played by star Sigourney Weaver in the past.

The film is set between the original Alien (1979) and its sequel Aliens (1986), when humans have encountered the Xenomorph and learned about its horrifying method of reproduction: parasitizing humans through scorpion-like appendages to create gestation before the young are born.

At this time, a group of astronauts approach an abandoned space station and they have to face the bloodthirsty species. Usually the films directed by Fede Álvarez are quite violent, with this new "promise", the audience certainly has something to look forward to.

A surprising scare in Alien: Romulus

The trailer for Alien: Romulus , released by 20th Century Studios, has now garnered over 8.2 million views and over 11,600 comments. One of the most liked comments (with over 16,000 likes) reads: "It's been 7 years since we've seen a new Alien . I hope it's good!" Another comment, with over 9,600 likes, reads: "The filmmakers have brought back to life the thrill of the chase, the familiar ship design, the close-up shots..." Another comment, with over 1,000 likes, reads: "For all of us who have seen the 1979 and 1986 films, it's hard to imagine a film that could be better than the old ones. I hope this one does well." In addition, a comment that received more than 5,000 likes expressed: "Please be as good as we expect."

Since the 1979 (the original film of the series) and 1986 films, the space monster franchise has been expanded through prequels, spin-offs and especially sequels, but the quality has fluctuated, despite being partly directed by the father of the franchise, Ridley Scott. Therefore, many audiences are talking and hoping that Fede Álvarez will be a good "midwife" is not difficult to understand.

Alien: Romulus will be released on August 16, 2024.
