Alien: Romulus on 4K UHD is a remarkable presentation, leveraging HEVC 2160p transfer with Dolby Vision and HDR10 for stunning detail and color depth. The transfer honors the film's practical effects with precise clarity even in darkness, though shadow definition is deliberately subtle to enhance its atmospheric tension.

The 4K UHD Blu-ray of 'Alien: Romulus' offers an outstanding Dolby Atmos audio experience, seamlessly integrating height and bed channels for a captivating soundstage filled with powerful ambience, discrete effects, and thundering bass, making it a reference-grade track with perfectly clear dialogue.

Extra: 57

The Alien: Romulus 4K Extras, although limited to the 1080p Blu-ray disc, offer a compelling behind-the-scenes exploration with a focused 25-minute making-of documentary, immersive Xenomorph showdown breakdown, and insightful dialogue between Ridley Scott and Fede Alvarez, enhancing the film experience without overshadowing the main content.

Movie: 74

Alien: Romulus delivers a nostalgically immersive 4K UHD experience that masterfully evokes the gothic claustrophobia of its predecessors while introducing new narrative elements; however, it struggles with some inconsistent story beats and fan-service callbacks. Despite these flaws, director Fede Alvarez's atmospheric craftsmanship and superb technical presentation make it a thrilling, if slightly repetitive, addition to the franchise.
