Alien: Romulus Learned The Right Lessons From Ridley Scott's $240 Million Prequel

Xenomorph in Romulus and Covenant

Summary Alien: Romulus has made one major improvement on the franchise, proving that it learned the right lesson from Ridley Scott's $240 million prequel. Alien: Romulus goes in a wildly different direction when compared to other recent Alien movies, with the 2024 film sticking closer to the atmosphere and horror of the 1979 original rather than focusing on the worldbuilding and grand themes of Ridley Scott's Prometheus prequel.

2 Alien: Romulus Mostly Relies On Practical Effects & It's Great It Is A Huge Franchise Improvement Close One of the best parts of Alien: Romulus is that the film's monsters and gore mostly rely on practical effects, and they are great. The new Xenomorph is seen throughout the movie, and the film's handling of the creature is more in line with the 1979 original, with the Xenomorph mostly appearing hidden in shadow.

1 Alien: Romulus Brings The Franchise Back To Its Practical Roots After Covenant's CGI Which Was One Of The Prequel's Biggest Problems Close Alien: Romulus' decision to bring practical effects back is a great one, as the previous film went way too far with CGI. While Prometheus used CGI for its alien creatures, the true Xenomorph didn't appear in that film.

Alien: Romulus' Practical Effects Make The Aliens Scarier Like In The Original Movie Close One of the big benefits of Alien: Romulus using practical effects is that the Xenomorph are a lot scarier, with it being a major improvement over Alien: Covenant. The Xenomorph in Alien: Covenant is frequently shown in direct sunlight, and that combined with the CGI look makes it seem far less scary.
