• Directed by Fede Alvarez, 'Alien: Romulus' serves as a direct sequel to the original 1979 'Alien,' set before the events of the later sequels, and marks the first 'Alien' film produced by Disney since their acquisition of 20th Century Fox.
• Despite earning a respectable $105 million at the U.S. box office and over $350 million worldwide, the film 'doesn't move the franchise into uncharted territory' and instead 'drags it, kicking and screaming, back into the past,' according to ScreenCrush's review.
