Alien: Romulus risks a major series mistake.
Summary Although Alien: Romulus seems determined to repeat an Alien franchise mistake, the reboot shouldn’t fall victim to this error. The Alien movies are full of unhappy endings. Alien 3 features one of the bleakest finales in sci-fi horror history and its opening managed the unique achievement of making the triumphant ending of Aliens tragic in retrospect.
Alien: Romulus Risks Repeating Alien: Covenant’s Annoying Ending Prometheus’s 2017 Sequel Offered Viewers Little Closure Close Despite how shocking the twist might be, Alien: Romulus should avoid repeating Alien: Covenant’s twist ending where every human character dies. This bleak punchline, where the surviving heroes are tricked by Michael Fassbender’s duplicitous droid David, aimed for darkness but ended up feeling frustrating and pointless instead.
Alien: Romulus’s Director Makes A Bleak Ending Likely Director Fede Alvarez Rarely Utilizes Happy Endings Close It is possible to pull off a hopeless horror movie ending effectively. 2017’s Alien-inspired sci-fi horror Life managed to make an ending where everyone dies feel fresh and clever thanks to a mean-spirited but ingenious final twist. Similarly, some of Alvarez’s earlier movies feature endings where the heroes are thoroughly decimated by evil forces.
