What to Know

Critics Consensus

Honoring its nightmarish predecessors while chestbursting at the seams with new frights of its own, Romulus injects some fresh acid blood into one of cinema's great horror franchises.

Alien: Romulus | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I thought this was awesome... Yes, it plays the hits, but in a slightly different key. It's different enough for me to have had fun. Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Alien: Romulus | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Philip De Semlyen Time Out Every possible ingredient has surely been used, every angle exhausted. Major props, then, to Fede Álvarez for cooking up something fresh in this furiously exciting, gnarly seventh entry. He’s even found the eggs, too. Rated: 4/5 Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Alien: Romulus | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Stephen Kearse The New Republic You can see the gears turning in every scene, and feel the film dutifully avoiding, well, alienation, the unknown, the discomfiting. Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Alien: Romulus | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Francesca Steele iNews.co.uk Totally committed to jump scares, this latest outing for the franchise is a far better film than the recent prequels. Rated: 4/5 Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Alien: Romulus | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Noah Berlatsky Everything is Horrible (Substack) As blockbuster franchises go, Romulus isn’t a bad film. But it suffers from the perennial blockbuster problem, which is that it doesn’t believe in its own world or its own themes. Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Alien: Romulus | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene The plot may be one “Alien” cliche after another, but the physical production is solid. Rated: C Dec 3, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/11/24 Full Review Eduardo Sanchez Awesome film ! Can’t wait for what’s to come ! Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/10/24 Full Review Noir D Loved it but giving it 4 stars because the story is just a mishmash of all the other alien films. They can do better, example: Prometheus Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review Wayne Love the alien movies Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
