"Screams in Space."
I have a weak spot for this series. I loved something in every movie. Even in Covenant. After the trailers I had high expectations of Romulus. Especially with Alvarez directing and Scott producing.

The search for the Ark.

The modern mixed with the classic style works really well. La La Land has an amazing feel. The colors burst of…
