Trivia
Director Fede Alvarez sought out the special effects crew from Aliens (1986) to work on the creatures. Physical sets, practical creatures, and miniatures were used wherever possible to help ground later VFX work.

Goofs
(at around 2 mins) At the start of the film, a probe finds parts of the wreckage of the Nostromo floating in space near Zeta² Reticuli following its destruction a couple of decades earlier at the end of Alien (1979). Despite it being dubious there would be any wreckage left after what was such a monumental explosion, any parts of the ship that were not vaporised would not be simply floating in space around the area the explosion happened decades later. The force of the Nostromo's self destruct would have projected remnants of it in all directions at considerable speed, and since this is the vacuum of space, the remnants wouldn't slow down, they would simply keep flying through space at speed.

Quotes
Andy: The solution for a claustrophobic astronaut is to give him more space.

Crazy credits
The 20th Century Studios fanfare freezes and turns ominous, as in Alien³ (1992), leading into the film's opening scene.

The logo itself suffers a burst of static and turns green.

Bland and Uninspired

Let me just say that I have been with this franchise since day one. I can remember seeing the original in the cinema before I was a teenager. I have seen and enjoyed all the films many times over and appreciated the less popular ones in the series. Seeing Romulus was a disappointment. Its dark visuals, particularly the opening sequence, had me confused at times. The relevance of the opener became obvious later on. And the dialogue was muffled in spots, and I missed chunks trying to figure out what was said, thus missing the follow up. The story was uninspiring and the Xenomorphs were identical to previous incarnations (for the most part) and close ups of the mouth parts no longer cause fear or dread, just boredom. This is one in the franchise that I may not watch again.
