Much like the Terminator and Matrix franchises, the Alien franchise by Ridley Scott is no less. With a great storyline that stretches across various movies and different worlds, these science-fiction movies are pieces of art. When the latest Alien: Romulus hit theatres, fans got reminiscent of the past movies.
More particularly, the 2012 flick by Scott, Prometheus served as a prequel for the Alien franchise as it laid the foundation of the story and made the viewers aware of how the world came to be.
Prometheus features magnificent cinematography
With Disney acquiring 20th Century Studios, the Alien series was made available on Disney+. Fans swarmed to the platform to relish the story that brought so many new concepts and fictional forms to life. All credit to Ridley Scott’s visionary direction and world-building that made the Alien series possible.
The 2012 movie Prometheus features some questionable plot points and character arcs. Nevertheless, the movie is redeemed thanks to its exceptional cinematography and direction. Many cinephiles can let go of certain nuances when just looking at a scene makes the fan go ‘Woah!’
Each scene of Prometheus looks plucked out of an artistic masterpiece. Not only that, on subsequent rewatches, people have come to understand what Scott intended with the prequel. Based on the titular Greek myth, the story follows the scientists’ quest to find the origin of life. What she discovers in reality is something far more menacing. When watched closely, one can decipher what Scott meant by the connection to Greek mythology and how the story unfolds.
Nonetheless, at first glance, the movie feels incomplete with many plot points unanswered. The largest question in fans’ minds is that of the Xenomorphs and how they fit into this intricate puzzle. Despite the plot holes, fans are rejoicing in the visual spectacle of the movie that brings forth a nuanced story of an otherworldly dimension.
Alien: Romulus Opening Collection Amounts to $109 million Globally
The fandom and peer directors alike should tip their hats to the mighty Scott who envisions a movie perfectly from start to end. The Alien franchise is up and running, thanks to his great ideas and storyline. The latest addition to the franchise is Alien: Romulus featuring some incredibly talented young actors who are ready to take Hollywood by storm.
The opening of the movie has managed to collect a whopping sum of $108.2 million globally, as reported by Deadline. Directed by Fede Alverez, the movie did well in the countries it has been released so far with more countries premiering the movie by the end of this month. A huge chunk of these earnings have come from IMAX which has enthralled the masses in the recent past and works well with movies that involve science-fiction and a hint of horror.
