As a person who grew up watching the Alien films (and all the spin offs), I wasn't sure if Alien: Romulus would add anything to the series.

Note: I was invited as media for #AlienRomulus #FeelItIn4DX screening. However any personal views expressed are always 100% my own.


But after screening Alien: Romulus in 4DX theaters, I can honestly say it's an exciting additions that bridges the previous films and offers something thrilling (literally) new to enjoy!

First Alien: Romulus offered TONS of nostalgic Easter eggs and vibes for the fans. While some scenes were clear nods to the past movies, other scenes took things up a notch. It was so great to see new ideas that still kept things scary like the first time.


Second there was David Jonsson and Cailee Spaeny, who played off each other so well. While Cailee as "Rain" started of damsel in distress, she later stepped things up and brought action to the action scene.


While Davis as "Andy" brought such a duality to his character. I was on the edge of my seat wondering what he was going to do next. Was he good? Not good? Did I want him to be bad, cause he was kinda good at that!

Third, the aliens, the action and the 4DX theater. From the start of the movie till the end, things were so intense with the moving seats, the mist, the lights and the sounds in the theater. I was FEELING like I was there. In space. With them.

Those 4DX theater seats bring the action and make you part of the experience. And for a movie like Alien: Romulus it was perfect. I fully enjoyed the movie, being scared, shook, screaming and all.

Can't wait to see it again!
