Alien Romulus (2024) – Review

While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station on a distant planet, a group of young space colonists come fact to face with the most terrifying life form in the entire universe, turning their initial mission into a race for survival. With limited resources and rising tensions, the group must outsmart the deadly life form before they become victims. Alien Romulus is a fairly entertaining and visually pleasing flick, but ultimately the limited character development may hold it back from being award worthy. It’s worth noting that Alien Romulus is currently streaming on Disney+.

Blade Runner (1982) – Review

Set in the early twenty-first century, the Tyrell Corporation, during what was called the Nexus phase, developed robots that were supposed to aid society. These were called “replicants”, and they were designed to look and act like humans. When four replicants commit murder and steal a ship in space, they return to Earth in hopes of finding their creator. A Blade Runner, known only as Deckard (Harrison Ford), is tasked with pursuing, and terminating all four. An iconic and thought-provoking Sci-Fi that spawned a recently released sequel. It’s worth noting that Blade Runner is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
