Alien: Romulus Ratings & Reviews
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
I thought this was awesome... Yes, it plays the hits, but in a slightly different key. It's different enough for me to have had fun.
The New Republic
Stephen Kearse
You can see the gears turning in every scene, and feel the film dutifully avoiding, well, alienation, the unknown, the discomfiting.
Los Angeles Times
Sergio Burstein
Constantly impresses with its prodigious use of cinematic language, its striking soundtrack, its overwhelming sound work, [and] its meticulous production design. [Full review in Spanish]

Dwight Brown
An engaging, generic horror/sci-fi/thriller. That's an observation. Not an accomplishment.
Perri Nemiroff (YouTube)
Perri Nemiroff
The film boasts some rock solid Alien scares and Cailee Spaeny & David Jonsson make for a winning lead combo, but Alien: Romulus caves under franchise connectivity pressure.
The Ringer
Adam Nayman
Between its sleek production design, dynamic editing, and nicely modulated ensemble cast, Romulus has the feeling of a quality-controlled multiplex product. The problem is that it rarely feels like anything more than that.
Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)
Mark Kermode
A solid, entertaining Alien film.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
"Alien" movies are like pizza, and aside from a few head-scratching choices that will no doubt inspire reams of think pieces, "Alien: Romulus," with its thrilling tactility and appealingly plucky cast, is a very enjoyable pie.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
Imperfect though "Romulus" may be, it's also a solid entry in a slate of films whose original maker has taken the extended story seriously enough to petrify it. Álvarez returns us to the simple sweatiness and anxiety that made "Alien" magnificent
NPR
Justin Chang
An efficient and reasonably entertaining thriller that, like a lot of franchise movies nowadays, traffics more in nostalgia than novelty.
The Atlantic
Fran Hoepfner
Alien: Romulus really shines when it plays like a straightforward Alien movie -- and doesn't pander to the demands of franchisable intellectual property. There's yucky pleasure to be had in watching these young people flounder.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
Expect jump shocks and armrest clutching, and the gnarliest alien expensive CGI can offer, in this visually stunning match made for IMAX, regular theaters and communal screams.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
Alien: Romulus is diverting enough, but it's also instantly forgettable - something I don't think I've ever said about any other Alien film, good or bad.
AV Club
Natalia Keogan
While incredible practical gore effects and stunning set pieces make Álvarez's installment well worth watching, it's as void of meaning as space itself.
Slate
Sam Adams
Romulus isn't a mutation. It's just inbred.
Digital Trends
A.A. Dowd
A straightforward Alien movie for the bloodthirsty purists. Unfortunately, it goes about tapping into the soul of the original in a rather thuddingly literal way.
ABC News
Peter Travers
The seventh chapter in the creepy-crawly franchise shamelessly feeds off the DNA of the first two sci-fi space classics. But new director Fede Alvarez dishes out serviceable funhouse horrors with the gory enthusiasm of the alien fanboy he most truly is.
Wall Street Journal
Kyle Smith
It's lovingly aimed at fans who have seen its Carter-era predecessor 15 times, yet it's unlikely to scare anyone except those who are new to the "Alien" shtick. In space, it turns out, no one can hear you yawn, either.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
A film that has a cool and retro and kind of 1980s vision of the future that feels authentic to the timeline.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
"Alien" movie, "Alien: Romulus," the seventh installment in this storied, apparently inexhaustible cycle of films, is perfectly adequate filler.
