‘Alien: Romulus’ is just one more unnecessary entry in the ‘Alien’ franchise. The original from 1979 and its sequel, ‘Aliens’, released in 1986, are the best of the films and - as I have told my moviegoer friends - Ridley Scott should have stopped with those two. I will say that this latest did have a couple of good scares and is better than the last two but the story is just not believable, particularly since the cast looks like a bunch of high school kids! The ‘surprise’ ending also was such a let down considering what the filmmaker and special effects team could have done. Needless to say, another disappointing and not needed ‘Alien’ film.
