Når Aliens Gør Comeback: 'Romulus' Slår Rekorder! 🚀

Alien: Romulus scorer højere end nogen anden film i serien siden 1979! Find ud af, hvad der gør denne film så speciel! 🛸

I en tid hvor spøgelseshistorier og superhelte har domineret biograferne, træder "Alien: Romulus" ind som en ny stærk spiller. Den syvende film i rækken har indsamlet en svimlende 83% "Certified Fresh" score på Rotten Tomatoes efter 127 anmeldelser, hvilket gør den til den højest bedømte entry i "Alien" franchisen siden Ridley Scotts klassiker i 1979. Historien følger kontraktarbejderen Rain, spillet af Cailee Spaeny, der befinder sig i en rumkoloni i en fjern fremtid og må samarbejde med sin android-bror Andy for at overleve fjendtlige kræfter og en dystopisk virkelighed.

Benjamin Wallfisch står bag filmens musik, som hylder de legendariske kompositioner fra Jerry Goldsmith og James Horner, og den digitale udgivelse lander på platforme den 16. august. Wallfischs score er ikke bare en perfekt accompaniment til den spændende fortælling, den tilføjer også en nostalgisk dimension til filmen og binder den sammen med dens forgængere, der i sin tid satte standarderne for sci-fi horror.

For dem, der aldrig har set en "Alien" film før, er der håb. Instruktør Fede Alvarez har sagt, at han ville tilpasse filmen til nye seere, hvilket gør den tilgængelig for dem, der ikke har brugt timer på at skelne mellem xenomorphs og syntetiske mennesker. Filmen inviterer et frisk publikum ind i universet med sin skræmmende atmosfære og tankevækkende anti-korporate budskaber, der giver plads til refleksion.

Men vær advaret! Den store vending i "Romanus" har allerede fået folk til at rase. Filmen formår at forny sig selv, hvilket kan skræmme nogle af de die-hard fans, der er vant til en bestemt struktur i franchisen. Dog kræver det mod at skabe noget banebrydende, hvilket kan være netop det, som "Alien: Romulus" bringer til bordet. Den markerer ikke blot et comeback af rædsel og spænding, men også af historiefortællingens udfordringer.

Visste du, at den første "Alien" film blev optaget i 1978 og revolutionerede genren med sin blanding af sci-fi og horror? Og når "Alien: Romulus" rammer biografen den 16. august, vil det markere 45 år siden den første film blev udgivet! Med en fantastisk cast og en dygtig instruktør ser det ud til, at serien er klar til at skræmme den kommende generation!
