Alien Romulus Review & D23 Recap

Alien Romulus Review & D23 Recap

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the latest review by ComicBook Nation on Alien: Romulus has left me somewhat disillusioned. Kofi Outlaw’s critique resonates deeply with me, as I too find myself yearning for fresh, innovative storytelling rather than a nostalgia trip down memory lane. It seems that the Alien franchise, much like an aging spacecraft, is struggling to maintain its original shine.


The team from ComicBook Nation reminisces over the entire Alien film series while critiquing Alien: Romulus in their latest review. Additionally, they summarize the most significant announcements made at D23 regarding Marvel, Star Wars, Disney, and Pixar!

Is “Anime Rick and Morty” a blend of the finest elements? To add, “Matt’s Itinerary” offers updates on gaming from Dragon Age, comic book revelations, and much more!

Alien Romulus Review & D23 Recap

Host Kofi Outlaw of ComicBook Nation wasn’t particularly fond of how heavily Alien: Romulus leaned on franchise nostalgia; he rated it 2.5 out of 5 stars in his assessment.

The movie “Alien: Romulus” was anticipated as a significant leap for the franchise, but unfortunately, it feels more like a lengthy retrospect rather than progression. It seems Ridley Scott might be the sole individual who truly grasps the essence that makes “Alien” a timeless horror masterpiece, and perhaps the only one capable of steering the series in a forward direction.
