Plot

Why It's a Romulus (in a Good Way)
- Unlike Alien: Covenant, the particular Alien film inferior to what made the 1979 and 1986 films so amazing (especially in the former's case), this has the charisma of what made the 1979 and 1986 films excellent; as said, since it sets between the events of said films since this is set after the former and before the latter and gave a great take that explains after/before.
- The cinematography is excellent since it takes place in space; it gives the feeling that one is genuinely watching a different space film, especially when the space scenes kick in.
- The poster is very terrifying. It depicts a creature latched on a person's face, with the person's hands on its tail, and a red and black background to make it as terrifying and dark as ever.
The Only Bad Quality
- The Ian Holm cameo resulted in controversy.[3]
