A group of desperate humans in space are stalked by vicious aliens who reproduce by infiltrating bodies, and bursting out through the chest. In the end, it looks like one woman (Cailee Spaeny) is the last hope of exterminating these creatures, who are as relentless as they are terrifying. If this all sounds familiar, it should. The new trailer for Alien: Romulus is aggressively paying homage to both Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986), and, in the process, utterly sidestepping the confusing continuity questions raised by the last two movies in the franchise.
