Alien: Romulus review: This plot won't feel Alien...if you watched the last six!, writes LARUSHKA IVAN-ZADEH
LARUSH IVAN ZADEH: In a summer crawling with unremarkable blockbuster sequels, Alien : Romulus emerges as one of the better specimens.
Desperate to escape the gritty life on their doomed mining planet, a handful of believable young people — one of them, Rain, played by rising A-lister Cailee Spaeny(Priscilla, Civil War) — set out to scavenge a derelict space station. The resultant high-stakes mission to London is a typical Netflix production: a slick, star-led blend of expensively formulaic chases, espionage, exotic locations and the shooting of endless bad guys (no budget left for any big-name villains, alas), that isn’t out to reinvent the wheel but should buy Wahlberg a new beach house. Other remarkable characters are picked out too, such as principal Jurgita Dronina, a Russian-born veteran of ten Swan Lakes who nurses a hidden nerve injury; and chorus line wannabe Shaelynn Estrada, a fag-smoking, ‘near to white trash’ Texan with a punk-rock attitude to pointes.
