As a longtime fan of the Alien franchise who’s witnessed the terrifying evolution of these creatures since the iconic 1979 film, I must say that “Alien: Romulus” has certainly delivered a nail-biting experience that harkens back to the original while offering a fresh perspective. The suspense was palpable from start to finish, with each character’s demise serving as an unsettling reminder of our own fragility in the face of the unknown.
*WARNING: Contains spoilers for Alien: Romulus*
freshly released in UK theaters, an exciting new Alien movie features Cailee Spaeny from Priscilla as the main character.
One character is named Rain, part of a group of youthful settlers from a mining colony, who embark on a daring mission to flee by secretly acquiring some cryopods from what appears to be an abandoned neighboring space station.
Since we’re discussing the movie “Alien,” it’s not a spoiler to mention that events take an unexpected turn. It becomes clear that the spacecraft houses some hostile extraterrestrial creatures, known as xenomorphs, who swiftly assault Rain and her team without hesitation.
However, let’s delve into the conclusion: Are there any survivors and what unexpected elements remain? Unravel the mystery of the Alien: Romulus finale by continuing to read below.
Alien Romulus ending explained
Before we dive into the finale, let’s quickly summarize the main occurrences leading up to it. After the xenomorphs were set free, the crew didn’t survive for long. Navarro (played by Aileen Wu) was the initial casualty, marked by the classic chest-bursting scene. Subsequently, Bjorn (Spike Fearn) and Tyler (Archie Renaux) also suffered tragic ends.
As a cinephile, I must say, my character in this narrative, a pregnant woman named Kay (played marvelously by Isabella Merced), undergoes an exceptionally challenging ordeal. Abducted by a xenomorph and confined within its hive, she endures until the day of liberation, which comes courtesy of Rain. Post-rescue, I’m advised to make haste back to the ship alone and swiftly seek shelter in one of the cryopods for my safety.
Regarding the disclosed details about the studies conducted on Romulus in the past, these findings are unveiled to us by Rook – an artificial person serving as the station’s science officer, remarkably portrayed through Computer-Generated Imagery based on the late Ian Holm.
Rook elaborates that he along with his colleagues have been conducting investigations to isolate a dark substance from a xenomorph, specifically the one initially depicted in the initial Alien movie, which was retrieved by the Weyland-Yutani corporation. They are then integrating this alien matter with human genetic material.
He says that humanity had never been cut out for space colonisation, that it was “too weak” and “too fragile” and he had wanted to change that by giving humanity an “upgrade”.
He points out that humanity can no longer afford to sit idly by for evolutionary changes, unfortunately. However, it seems that the situation took an unexpected turn when xenomorphs were unleashed within the station, resulting in the deaths of everyone present and causing significant harm to him.
Essentially, since Rain and Andy are pinned down on the lower level, Rook advises them against firing at the approaching xenomorphs due to their acidic blood. This acid could erode through the floor, leading to a fatal exposure to an unbreathable environment for everyone involved. Considering they need to navigate through many of these creatures to reach their spaceship, this isn’t a desirable scenario.
In the midst of despair, Rain unexpectedly hits upon an idea while chatting with Andy. Notably, after spending a significant portion of the storyline with a module installed in him, which altered his character to serve the interests of the Weyland-Yutani corporation.
Seeking solace in the face of an impending fate that appears inevitable, she requests him to share some of his beloved corny jokes. One such joke – “I was reading a book about gravity, I couldn’t put it down” – all of a sudden sparks an epiphany in her.
Turning off the gravity switch causes the blood to levitate when the xenomorphs are fired upon, allowing her and Andy to scale the elevator shaft afterward since they’re weightless. Ultimately, they can reach the cryopods they previously prepared, where Kay awaits their return.
In a dramatic turn of events, they manage a narrow evacuation where several xenomorphs meet their demise, crushed by an elevator returning to function after the gravity was restored. Meanwhile, Andy fires at the remaining survivor and delivers the famous line from Aliens, “Keep away from her… you beast!” moments before it would have attacked Rain.
In time, they managed to return to Kay, who had been keeping watch in the vessel, showing remarkable patience… And so, their tale concludes, happily ever after.
What happens with the Xenomorph/human hybrid in Alien: Romulus?
But, of course in true Alien tradition, they are not out of the woods just yet – far from it.
Inside one of the cryopods, it seems that Kay experiences labor and eventually delivers a monstrous creature – a grotesque blend of alien and human DNA, born from her previous injection of the mysterious black goo in a desperate survival move. This hybrid creature then attacks Kay, incapacitates Andy, and sets its sights on Rain.
The rain starts to exit – and is compelled to don a spacesuit, clinging tightly during the onslaught of the hybrid attack – however fortunately, following a fierce battle and a significant shock, she manages to expel it from the spacecraft, thus undoubtedly guaranteeing her safety this time.
At the end, she places the broken Andy into a cryostasis chamber, assuring him she’ll mend him, then alters their course for Yvaga – their intended destination all along. She concludes by recording a final message, emulating Ripley’s style from the initial film.
But it’s worth noting that Rain has a vial of the black goo still with her on her ship – so there’s certainly more than enough potential for another sequel.
Alien: Romulus is now showing in UK cinemas.
