The girl makes sure she has earned enough hours to travel to a planet that is not covered in black clouds blocking the sun, unlike her current residence. Unfortunately, a company exploits the employees Weyland-Yutani Her work was forcibly extended for another five years.
Rain is approached by friends who are as tired as she is of inhaling the fumes from the mines and the grueling – even slave – work. Tyler, the heroine’s ex-boyfriend, comes up with an idea to rob an abandoned research station in space. Freezing rooms (hibernation), which will allow them to survive the journey to the planet. the skyAs is often the case in cosmic horror, of course, something must go wrong.
“The Stranger: Romulus” wave Vidia Alvarez (“Don’t Breathe”) is not a repetition of “Prometheus” or “The Testament”, but a return to the roots. Historically, the Uruguayan director’s film is located in the middle “The Eighth Passenger of the Nostromo” A “The Stranger – The Decisive Clash”So, forget about the sterile and simple scenography and accept it. Futuristic retro Technology, dirty tunnels, and a cockpit held together with duct tape.
Alvarez indicates in the opening minutes that he intends to honor the ancient “alien,” not desecrate its legacy. In some ways, he succeeds, though the desire to remain faithful to the original means that some audiences may treat “Romulus” as a movie you’ll watch once and never see again. Plot-wise, it doesn’t offer anything groundbreaking for the cult saga (aside from the additional evolutionary possibilities of the xenomorph), as it merely reiterates what we all already know: Weyland Yutani’s greed knows no bounds..
Intending to interest younger generations, Romulus conveys the feelings and reasons that draw contemporary youth into a fantasy world. Motivations Climate crisisas well as the disgust with the unhealthy standards imposed by corporations everywhere here. Designed by a Swiss illustrator Human Resources Gigara Although the xenomorph is scary in its unnatural form, it’s not treated as the main element of horror in this installment (regardless of whether or not that was Alvarez’s plan).
Life cycle xenomorph remains intact face hunter (facehugger) attacks a person and impregnates him with the larva, which then in the blink of an eye transforms into a chest, ripping open the victim’s chest from the inside. This process has always sent shivers down my spine, but in “Romulus” (as in the entire series) it performs such a constant function that it is difficult to describe it with any surprise.
Alvarez’s film is like a hazy memory; a scenario that is repeated over and over again, becoming monotonous, A vicious cycle of remakes, reboots, sequels, and prequelsThere are a few plot holes and some stupid stuff used to add to the dramatic effect. Romulus can boast a lot of things. Easter eggsBut (in my opinion) they are not the ones who save the show.
The creators of 20th Century Fox production were able to choose him. Great team Full of promising young faces. Rain is played by the famous Z. “Priscille” Sofia Coppola I “civil war” Alexa Garland Kylie Spaenywho, no matter what role she plays, plays it naturally everywhere; as if she truly believes every line she says.
For fans of the British series “industry” It will come as no surprise when I say that the reveal of “Romulus” is the actor who plays Andy, i.e. David JohnsonAs a composite, he showed the full range of his acting skills – from an artificial intelligence lost in the human world and trapped in a teenage body, whose main directive is to take care of his sister, to a soulless and coldly calculating corporation slave.
In other roles we can see, among others: Archiego RenoWhose cancelled “Shadow and Bone” song didn’t give him much room to perform, star of “The Last of Us” season 2 Isabeli Merced, Eileen Wu (“Close the Doors”) Oraz Spike Verna (“After the Sun”). There is real talent in such a young actor.
“Alien: Romulus,” which successfully strikes a balance between computer and practical effects, impresses on the big screen not only visually, but also audibly. Fans of the xenomorph series can breathe a sigh of relief, though: “Alien’s” best years are long behind us..
