    Pulling off making an “Alien” movie with an atmosphere that feels right in line with the original trilogy is quite a feat. It’s beautifully shot and while $80 million is hardly an “indie” budget, “Romulus” looks like it cost twice as much. Bravo 👏👏👏

I think this movie stands out from some other sequels of Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986), would recommend it.

Like the moment they reach the station and they gotta hand crack the vent open, I instantly got transported back to Alien : Isolation. Can't wait to own it when it comes out.
