I Finally Saw Alien: Romulus, One Reason You Should See It in Theaters Instead of Waiting for Streaming

Stranger and its sequel are considered one of the best science fiction films as well as one of the best horror films of all time. The franchise has never been far from theaters, with the latest sequel Alien: Romulus did well at the box office. After a few busy weekends, I finally saw the new Strangerand there’s a good reason why moviegoers should head to the theater rather than wait for it to arrive on streaming. Specifically, the sound.

From Alien: Romulus released in theaters, there were discussions around its content, including classifying the synthetics of Stranger franchise. Although I enjoyed the most recent movie Commitment (which is available to stream with a Hulu subscription), director Fede Álvarez has really hit the mark with his new film. And its tension was made all the more nerve-wracking when I saw it in a theater, where the sound made my seat vibrate… especially as the tension mounted.
