When "Alien: Romulus" is operating on a pure horror level, it's one of the most entertaining and viscerally effective rides you'll find at the movies this year.

"Alien: Romulus" leaves nothing on the table. It is, for a change, an entire damn movie.

Translated from swedish: While "Alien: Romulus" has its moments, it doesn't stand a chance of even coming close to the sphere in which the 1979 film forever hovers. Not because I want to be an elitist joy-kill, but simply because it's just not possible to be the first more than once.

Translated from swedish: Director Fede Álvarez succeeds where many others have failed - with "Alien: Romulus", the most iconic monster in film history is given a dignified and stylish place in a science fiction horror film for the first time since the 1980s.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: After a very strong start, "Alien: Romulus" unfortunately loses all its unique ideas and becomes a copy of the films that came before it.

5 / 10
Translated from swedish: "Alien: Romulus" clearly gets a lot right when it comes to the world, the look and the feeling, but unfortunately the film falls into far too many clichés and the characters make strange and illogical choices.

5 / 10
Translated from swedish: It's okay to borrow and there seems to be a sense of nostalgia in Hollywood for a bygone era. But it never gets exciting.
