Alien: Romulus is a unique, standoutâand standaloneâwork that’s oddly familiar but still exciting and fresh.

Director Fede Alvarez is clearly a fan of this world and manifests that by taking everything you know about the franchise and pushing it a little further.

There is, however, one more egregious nod to the franchise which sort of works and sort of doesn't.

It's missing a few dashes of cohesion, doesn't have the thematic resonance it teases at the beginning.

But it’s an incredibly fun sci-fi action horror movie that sets a new standard for what a legacy sequel can be.

Alien: Romulus is in theaters on Friday .
