Alien: Romulus is finally bursting onto Disney+ in the UK!
During the holidays, I finally found time to watch the latest instalment in the Alien franchise from Fede Álvarez (Don't Breathe). I was impressed with its cast, stunning cinematography, Benjamin Wallfisch's stirring soundtrack (replete with callbacks to Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner, Elliot Goldenthal and Harry Gregson-Williams) and ingenious use of sound design.
In his review, our US-based film and television critic Nick Smith wrote, "Alien: Romulus is really aimed at 18 to 25-year-old moviegoers who haven’t seen those creaky old Alien movies and want to take a ghost train trip to the future."
In the wake of Alien: Romulus' $350 million box office success, not too shabby for an originally straight-to-streaming movie on Hulu on Disney+, I'm hopeful the sequel will see Álvarez fully unleashed.
Alien fans (myself included) can look forward to Alien: Earth this summer on Disney+. Noah Hawley's (Fargo) live-action spin-off series is set two years before Alien.
Alien: Romulus starts streaming on 15th January on Disney+.
