Alien: Romulus will avoid a major series pitfall.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While the rating of Alien: Romulus has not yet been announced, the reboot looks almost certain to avoid one major blunder the franchise made 20 years ago. The Alien franchise has been through many incarnations. The series started life as a claustrophobic space-set slasher when director Ridley Scott’s Alien arrived in 1979.
However, the biggest upset in the Alien franchise chronology came in 2004’s Alien Vs Predator. Directed by Paul WS Anderson, Alien Vs Predator saw the Xenomorph finally face off against another titan of sci-fi horror. However, this hotly anticipated showdown was hated by both critics and fans alike, and its 2007 sequel Alien Vs Predator: Requiem fared no better.
Related Alien Can Surpass A Box Office Milestone In 2024 That Only 1 Other Horror Franchise Has Alien: Romulus' release could help the Alien franchise transcend a horror box office milestone in 2024 that only one other franchise has overtaken. Alien: Romulus Will Almost Certainly Be R-rated Alien Romulus’s director makes an R-rating almost inevitable Close Inexplicably, Alien Vs Predator was the first PG-13-rated Alien movie.
Other than the bizarre anomaly of Alien Vs Predator, the Alien movies were always R-rated horror movies. It is easy to see why since the Alien franchise features a lot of explosive gore and gruesome injuries. Alien: Romulus’ place in the timeline puts its story between Alien and Aliens, and both of these R-rated hits didn’t skimp on nasty moments.
Why Alien Vs Predator’s PG-13 Rating Was A Disastrous Mistake Alien Vs Predator has a 22% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes Alien Vs Predator’s PG-13 rating made some sense since hits like The Ring and The Sixth Sense proved that early ‘00s horror movies could succeed despite more inclusive age ratings. However, every other entry in the Alien franchise was rated R and, as if to make the choice even more inexcusable, so were both Predator movies.
