"Romulus" is a fantastic soft reboot that doesn't stray too far off its corporate leash.

The film is set at a derelict Weyland -Yutani research station two decades after the tragic events of "Alien" and before " Aliens "' "tough hombres" in the Colonial Marines headed back to LV-426 for an epic bug hunt.

"Romulus" delivers on nearly every promise as a terrific sequel tribute.

Composer Benjamin Wallfisch's inventive score is another of the absolute highlights of "Alien: Romulus" Legacy Effects' creature design using a combination of puppets, audio-animatronic and suit actors is outstanding.
