Director Fede Álvarez masterfully introduces a diverse ensemble of characters, each uniquely contributing to the film’s tension and depth.
Set in 2142, the narrative centers on a group of young colonists striving to escape the oppressive environment of Jackson’s Star, a mining colony under the control of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. Their journey leads them to the abandoned space station Renaissance, where they confront unimaginable horrors.
Álvarez’s direction ensures that each character is introduced with depth and purpose, their backstories and motivations seamlessly woven into the narrative. This careful character development not only enhances audience investment but also amplifies the film’s suspense, as viewers become deeply concerned for each individual’s fate.

The interplay of personal histories, relationships, and the overarching threat creates a rich tapestry that revitalises the “Alien” franchise, offering both longtime fans and newcomers a compelling cinematic experience.
