An Honest Trailer for Alien: Romulus

Warning: the Honest Trailer contains spoilers for Alien: Romulus in case you haven't seen it yet and still want to. The Alien franchise goes back to 1979, and of the first eight films, only the first two seem to have clicked with anyone outside of hardcore Alien fans. So Alien: Romulus went back to the original premise of a cast that encounters an alien life form no one understands. But their employers know about it, and so does the audience, and that may be a problem. The film tries to introduce some innovations, but they are all borrowed from other science fiction stories. Alien: Romulus came out in August and has grossed $350 million worldwide. Audiences liked it well enough, and critics called it better than all the Alien movies past the first two, which honestly isn't saying much. From what I can tell, it's a good time if you're into this sort of thing, but it doesn't really make a splash in the cinematic science fiction pantheon. The first two Alien movies set the bar that high. -via Geeks Are Sexy
