There are new adventures on the horizon for the seventh official endeavor in the Alien franchise.
Romulus takes place between the events in 1979's Alien and 1986's Aliens in the timeline.
A group of young explorers visits a drifting space station named Renaissance to take any worthy leftovers that are still onboard, such as one of two modules titled Romulus. It's just a matter of time before trouble arises with surrounding extraterrestrial life forms, but Romulus avoids some of the unpredictability of this upcoming threat.
The tale begins with an eery quietness then bangs and clangs like a machine that revs up fairly quickly in the almost two-hour running time.
