The movie titled “Alien: Romulus” debuts in cinemas this week, and it’s causing quite a stir as it’s the newest addition to the “Alien” series. Critics are already singing its praises, with an impressive 82% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. A significant factor contributing to this acclaim is the film’s extensive use of practical effects. While some might argue over whether practical or CG effects are superior in quality, for “Alien: Romulus” director Fede Alvarez, it’s not about that. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of providing a tangible experience for the cast and making the film itself. In an interview with ComicBook, Alvarez stated that the debate over effects goes beyond mere preference; for him, it’s all about striving for authenticity.
