"Run!!" There's a new Alien movie in town. Time to get everyone together to go to back to theater for a great time at the cinema watching something dark and scary. Alien: Romulus is the seventh movie in the sci-fi horror Alien franchise, following the original four Alien movies and the two Ridley Scott prequels from 2012 and 2017. There were also two other Alien vs. Predator movies, but we don't really talk about those (save that convo for another time). FirstShowing was in its heyday during the releases of Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, and one thing I remember from when those two came out - most people are extremely critical of Alien movies. Yes, it's an unquestionable fact that Alien and Aliens are two of the greatest sci-fi movies ever made. Alvarez's new creation borrows from both, it's literally set in between the two movies, and references them both in obvious and thrilling ways.
