It's been 45 years since the first Alien movie, which breathed new life into the horror and thriller genre. The iconic movie series, which has passed through the hands of different directors in this process, has managed to attract attention with its science fiction and horror aspects. We can easily say that it has also created its own audience.
Looking at the process and the number of viewers of each production, I find it unnecessary to question whether there will be new productions. Already this year, the last production was released in theaters and was presented to the appreciation of movie lovers, especially with its own audience.
Introducing Alien: Romulus
The final installment in the series, the movie deals with a new phase in the relentless struggle between humanity and the Xenomorphs.
The story revolves around a group of teenagers trying to survive on a distant colony planet. Condemned to live in poor conditions on the planet, the young people see leaving the colony and escaping the planet as salvation, but they find themselves in a more problematic situation.
It was quite enjoyable to watch the group's struggle for survival as they realize that their lives are in danger after the new threat they face in an isolated environment.
Above all, the movie manages to make the audience feel the threat and fear of the unknown. Although some of the scenes are familiar from previous Alien series, the innovations added to the storyline increase the tension and fear.
Watching people fighting for survival in the story has always been a great pleasure for me. When the challenges of nature are added to this, I experience the same excitement and fear while watching the movie, but when it comes to space and the unknowns of life there, I have to admit that I go to a different dimension.

Alien: Romulus has an atmosphere that draws the audience in. This makes you experience fear, panic and excitement at the highest level. The atmosphere of the movie makes the elements of fear and suspense stand out more than they are.
The dark atmosphere, especially in the scenes that keep the audience on their toes, makes you feel the menacing atmosphere and the similar excitement in life-threatening moments. The shooting angles in wide and narrow spaces allow the viewer to experience the moment and prepare the audience for the next step.
I think the vulnerable appearance of the characters portrayed by the cast contributed positively to the impact of the film. The determined stance of the characters in life-threatening moments was like the process of discovering the gem inside a person.
The momentum and the way the action was used in the story was perfect. The suspense and action never overpower each other at any moment and blend into the fluidity of the story, integrating with the horror.
I can say that the movie appeals to both fans of the series and new audiences. In this respect, I recommend watching the movie to all viewers who are loyal to the thriller and horror genre.
Thank you for being here and reading, take care and goodbye!
