Alien: Romulus(2024)

Submitted by Jeremy

On the Jackson’s Star mining colony, Rain Carradine (Cailee Spaeny) and her synthetic “brother” Andy (David Jonsson) are called upon by her ex-boyfriend Tyler (Archie Renaux) to join his crew as they plan to break into a derelict station to retrieve cryostasis pods for a trip to another planet, Yvaga. They are joined by Tyler’s sister Kay, their cousin Bjorn, and his girlfriend Navarro.

While on the station, Romulus, the guys accidentally reawaken dozens of frozen Facehuggers. One of them gets to Navarro (Aileen Wu) and plants its seed inside her, causing a Chestburster to kill Navarro and become the main Xenomorph. The crew also finds Rook, a synthetic who was part of the Weyland-Yutani research crew to bring back a sample of human/alien DNA. Andy has his module replaced with one that makes him go from brotherly toward Rain to unfeeling and focused on the company’s directive. Bjorn (Spike Fearn) is killed by the fully grown Xenomorph while Kay (Isabela Merced) gets taken away by it.

The crew manages to rescue Kay after getting a sample of the human/alien mix. Tyler gets killed by the Xenomorph while Rain and Andy battle it and other aliens before returning to their ship once the Romulus starts to fall into an asteroid belt, which also destroys Rook.
