Improbably, the latest Alien spinoff film — Alien: Romulus — is not only slaying at the box office but raking in decent reviews, too. With a respectable 82 percent critical score and 86 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, the consensus of Romulus is that it’s very much your parent’s Alien movie, but that’s okay. And while we can all agree that this is almost certainly an Alien movie that wants to remind you that it's an Alien movie with lots of callbacks and references to the more beloved entries in the franchise, the more discerning among Romulus watchers may have noticed that many of us are all starting to talk about Prometheus again.
