Alien: Romulus (2024) Film Review

Ridley Scott gave his baby new life with the premise of
Prometheus, massively expanding the context of the whole Alien
universe, then promptly killed it dead with Covenant abandoning
that story entirely. This new film has been hailed as an
excitingly fresh rebirth, but I don't see it. The production
design is superb, but other than the lead, the acting is pretty
dire. The biggest problem though, is with how unambitious the
story is, at this late stage, going all the way back to the being
hunted on a spaceship story of the first film, which has been
done a million times since.
