'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).
