Although it seems impossible, Alien: Romulus’s teaser trailer promises that the reboot will be the first movie in the franchise to feature one sci-fi cinema staple. The Alien movies offer a unique, bleak vision of the future. The Weyland-Yutani Corporation dispassionately sends employees to their doom so they can collect valuable bioweapons, and the Xenomorph proves capable of overpowering many of the newest technological innovations developed by humans. However, there are a few practicalities that characters in the Alien movies never needed to worry about. For example, the series rarely touches on where the spaceship’s clean water comes from.
Similarly, the early Alien movies hand wave the artificial gravity that all of the franchise’s spaceships are equipped with. However, the upcoming reboot Alien: Romulus looks like it will finally confront this plot hole. The first teaser trailer for Alien: Romulus doesn’t tell viewers much about the movie's plot. Instead, the brief teaser simply sees a group of young space travelers terrorized by facehuggers, attacked by fully-grown Xenomorphs, and running desperately through a labyrinthine space station. The teaser also features a zero-gravity scene, a sci-fi movie staple that surprisingly hasn’t appeared in the series before now.
