Our take
Alien: Romulus follows young scavengers on a derelict station who meet the franchise creatures. Expect jump scares, facehuggers, acid blood, guns, and frequent strong language. This is classic Alien dread, not a teen space adventure. Older teens and adults
Story (may spoil tone)
While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.
