What to Know

Critics Consensus

Honoring its nightmarish predecessors while chestbursting at the seams with new frights of its own, Romulus injects some fresh acid blood into one of cinema's great horror franchises.

Christy Lemire FilmWeek (LAist) 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. Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Philip De Semlyen Time Out Every possible ingredient has surely been used, every angle exhausted. Major props, then, to Fede Álvarez for cooking up something fresh in this furiously exciting, gnarly seventh entry. He’s even found the eggs, too. Rated: 4/5 Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Stephen Kearse The New Republic You can see the gears turning in every scene, and feel the film dutifully avoiding, well, alienation, the unknown, the discomfiting. Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Charlotte Simmons The Treatment (Substack) Alien: Romulus plays host to some razor sharp ideas about liberation — ideas that you won’t find in your run-of-the-mill cattle on the IP farm — that make it artistically valuable, and also pertinent to the conversation of said brighter future. Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Tim Miller Cape Cod Wave Magazine We get lots of standard shots and other bits from the Alien playbook, whether it’s crew members running for their lives through dark spaceship corridors or a baby alien emerging from a crew member’s chest like a stripper coming out of a birthday cake. Rated: 2/4 Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Sammie Purcell Rough Draft Atlanta It’s a better addition than most, using the blueprint that “Alien” put forth to deliver a strong, character-driven thrill ride that thrives on practical effects and exhilarating filmmaking.
