Background: The "Alien" franchise, created by Ridley Scott, has been a pioneer in the sci-fi horror genre since its debut in 1979. Notable for its atmospheric tension and groundbreaking visual effects, the series explores themes of corporate exploitation, artificial intelligence, and human survival against hostile extraterrestrial life. "Alien: Romulus" continues this legacy with practical effects and a fresh narrative that promises to thrill both new and veteran fans.
