Alien: Romulus It has already appeared in cinemas. Uruguayan director Fede Alvarez carried out a spin-off of the legendary franchise created by Ridley Scott in 1979. The film is an independent story, but with many references to the saga. And it is set between the original delivery, Alien: The Eighth Passengerand its first sequel, Aliensdirector James CameronBut beyond paying obvious homage, the new film has expanded on the lore by forging its own path with shocking results.
IN Alien: RomulusA group of young people living on the Jackson Star colony intercept a drifting space station containing hibernation pods and fuel to avoid their enslavement. However, upon approaching the site covertly, they discover that it is a science ship that was experimenting with the xenomorph that attacked the USCSS Nostromo in the first film of the saga. The entire crew of the vehicle is killed, and when the protagonists enter and investigate, they discover that they are not alone.
In the final act of the film, only Rain, Kay and synthetic Andy. The first, with the help of the android, will have to confront numerous xenomorphs that are pursuing them and have already killed the rest. In addition, you must ensure the safety of a seriously wounded person. Kay that she is pregnant. The young protagonist Alien: Romulus He gives his all and risks his life repeatedly to kill all the monsters he finds and thus escape to his small ship, something he achieves just before the station crashes into an asteroid belt and explodes.
The company is experimenting
For my part, being on the verge of death and losing my child, Kay He made a decision to save the ship, which would ultimately prove fatal. On the space station, the boys found a serum in the laboratory containing xenomorph DNA. The scientists’ secret mission was to create a compound that could modify the human genetic structure and artificially make a new evolutionary step. With the monster’s characteristics, humans would be virtually immune to everything.
Instead, a synthetic material called rook with the face of a dead actor Ian Holm He tells them that the most important thing is not the survival of the boys. Alien: Romulus. On the contrary, the most important thing is to take the serum out of the space station and deliver it to the colony. There it can be reproduced and turn the human race into perfect creatures that fight not for survival, but for domination over the entire universe. What the synthetics ignored is that this compound causes terrible side effects.
But on the verge of death from pain and bleeding, Kay In desperation, she decides to inject herself into one of the vials. When Rain She manages to return to the ship, finds her friend still alive and heads to the ship with relief. Iwagawhere he hopes to be free. It’s a long trip, so insert Kay in one of the hibernation modules. But when he finishes preparing to set course and come into his own, Alien: Romulus makes the final turn.
New Xenomorph Explained
Hibernation capsule Kay It starts giving errors and when opened it gives Rain He discovers that his partner is suffering from terrible pain and that her pregnant belly is greatly swollen. Character Isabela Merced Finally she gives birth to a kind of acid egg. From inside emerges a human-like child. But the main character Alien: Romulus He feels that something bad is about to happen.
Indeed, soon after this, the baby turned into a monster. Having injected himself with the xenomorph serum, Kay forced the terrifying creature’s DNA to fuse with that of her child’s fetus. The result is a hybrid, yet utterly deadly creature. It has a humanoid face and body, but is gigantic in stature and has physical features similar to those of the saga’s unmistakable aliens. It even has a tail, and extends from its terrifying mouth with fangs that feed on the blood of its victims (in this case, its own mother).
This hybrid xenomorph is very different from Alien ResurrectionTheir characteristics are more similar to those of engineers. Prometheus and the ability of humans to show emotion. Moreover, unlike normal monsters, this one is actually born from an egg and through childbirth, rather than developing inside the host to later kill it. Finally, thanks to its mutations, it is even more resilient than normal xenomorphs, making it an even more dangerous threat. Alien: Romulus added a unique element to the franchise.
Will there be a sequel?
New Xenomorph Kills KayBut Rain He manages to defeat him after a difficult battle. The protagonist Alien: Romulus It throws him into outer space, but the bug manages to grab onto the ship with its tail and counterattack. Eventually, the young woman manages to escape its jaws and return to the ship, while the monster crashes into an asteroid belt, trapped in a cargo container that Rain released.
It is a priori normal that the humanoid xenomorph died. But the character from the first film managed to survive in space, as shown in this film. And since the new one is even stronger than the original, Alien: Romulus leaves the doubt open. It is entirely possible that this infamous creature managed to stay alive. And that would open the door for a new installment in the saga. In fact, the ending of the film also raises this possibility.
Rain puts Andy in a state of stasis, making it clear that she will not abandon him on the way to Ivaga III. And all this despite the fact that he knows that synthetics are not well received there, which will cause problems in the future. Despite everything, he decides to take the risk. She leaves a recording for anyone who finds them, in case they do not make it to their destination, and then goes into hibernation herself.
The story of the main character Alien: Romulus and its synthetic “brother” is not finished yet. And if the film is a box office success, Disney may continue it in a new part. This hypothetical film could investigate their arrival on Iwaga and how they cope with existence Andyto whom Rain promises to fix it. It’s also possible that they’ll wake up mid-journey and have to face new dangers from space. Or they might even be intercepted by Weyland-Yutani for failing to deliver the compound. The doors are open, and let’s not forget, there might be a new xenomorph on the loose. Only the future will tell what happens to the saga. Stranger.
