Alien: Romulus - 2024 - 6/10

For Alien fans, this borrows from / plays homage to the whole franchise.
Including, as ever, Weyland-Yutani employees with the intelligence of sock puppets.
A large craft drifts toward a terraformed mining colony.
Overlooked by scientists & military, yet seen by young scavengers.
‘Hey, if there’s the tech gear on that, we might could escape this ole rock!”
The wayward craft turns out to be a huge research station.
And our plucky crew of scrap dealers land themselves into a dead teenager flick.
While this looks fantastic, the script is below derivative.
So much money lavished on a fan-service film. Disappointing.
