The first reactions to Alien: Romulus are finally out, and they're overwhelmingly positive. The Fede Álvarez-directed film marks the seventh installment in the main Alien franchise. It's also the first since 1997's Alien Resurrection not to be directed by Ridley Scott, who helmed the first, fifth, and sixth films.

Alien Romulus FIRST REACTION

Below is a summary of the initial reactions to Alien: Romulus and all the fuss surrounding the film.

Alien: Romulus will be released in U.S. theaters on Friday, August 16, 2024. After an initial screening in the media, the film has received very promising initial reactions.

Borys Kit of The Hollywood Reporter named Alien: Romulus the best film of the summer. "ALIEN: ROMULUS: Hits all the great hallmarks of what you'd expect from an Alien movie, but never feels like it's cashing in on nostalgia or fan service… and even goes in a wacky new direction," Kit posted on X (formerly known as Twitter). "Fede Alvarez [the director] and the cast just birthed the best movie of the summer."
