Fede Alvarez's 'Alien Romulus' offers a blend of innovation and nostalgia, yet ultimately leans heavily on familiar set pieces from the franchise.
Alvarez does a commendable job constructing a sturdy film with thoughtful characters, but the story feels more like replaying 'greatest hits' than exploring new territories.
While the lead characters, Rain and Andy, are well-developed, the film falls short of fully committing to fresh narratives, instead recycling recognizable elements from past installments.
The movie faces a struggle between creativity and familiarity, eventually leading to a greater reliance on replication of beloved scenes from the 'Alien' series rather than true innovation.
