Alien: Romulus 2024
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Lately my brain has been craving the Alien universe for some reason, despite never having been interested in the movies before (I only saw the original Alien for the first time less than a year ago).

What started out as a promising first act—with an incredible multi-minute, multi-building single shot and a smooth segue…
