'Alien: Romulus' Review: It’s One Small Step for a Franchise, One Giant Leap for Nostalgia

Director Fede Álvarez has intriguing ideas on where to take this franchise, but gets lost in callbacks to the past.

2

The ever-iconic Alien franchise goes back to its horror roots in the ninth and latest installment, Alien: Romulus.

Set between the events of Alien and Aliens, Romulus finds a young group of scavengers, in search of a new beginning, away from their unforgiving home at a mining colony. They end up hopping aboard an abandoned space station that once belonged to Weyland-Yutani, and while searching the sectors, accidentally unleash some deadly extraterrestrial beings that could bring a premature end to their journey.

Fede Álvarez (Don't Breathe) directs the film, which stars Cailee Spaeny (Civil War), David Jonsson (Industry), Archie Renuax (Shadow and Bone), Isabela Merced (Superman), Spike Fearn (Aftersun), and Aileen Wu.

'Lee' Review: Kate Winslet Is Excellent in Otherwise Bland Biopic

Even Andy Samberg can’t sufficiently elevate this uninspired World War II biopic.

Academy Award winner Kate Winslet (Titanic) stars as one of the most revered war photographers in human history, in the biopic Lee.

The film chronicles Lee Miller as she becomes a war correspondent for Vogue magazine during World War II, as well as showing the creation of one of her most legendary photos, her lying inside Adolf Hitler's bathtub.

Academy Award nominee Ellen Kuras (The Betrayal) directs the film, which also stars Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard (Inception), Academy Award nominee Andrea Riseborough (To Leslie), Andy Samberg (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Noémie Merlant (Portrait of a Lady on Fire), Josh O'Connor (Challengers), and Alexander Skarsgård (The Northman).

Maxine is still haunted by the events that occurred in Texas six years prior that saw the death of her friends, and the news of the Night Stalker roaming the streets of Los Angeles only worsens her fears. When those close to her begin getting killed off, Maxine begins to get stalked by a slimy private detective, who believes that she may have some sort of connection to the string of murders.

MaXXXine also stars Elizabeth Debicki (The Crown), Moses Sumney (The Idol), Michelle Monaghan (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), Bobby Cannavale (Boardwalk Empire), pop superstar Halsey, Lily Collins (Emily in Paris), Giancarlo Esposito (Better Call Saul), and Kevin Bacon (Footloose).
