Romulus might be my least favorite Alien film (AvP films don't count obviously). There is just nothing new or interesting in the film. Like not a single thing. It's just a remix of various elements from the previous films often with much worse execution. It's also absolutely shameless with empty fan service.

The structure is reminiscent of Griffith's Intolerance that came five years earlier but the film…
