Alien: Rubicon, a knock-off sci-fi thriller based on the iconic franchise, has become a streaming hit in the UK despite scathing reviews - is it a case of 'so bad it's good' or is it just terrible? The sci-fi thriller, which pays homage to - or spoofs depending on your persuasion - to 20th Century Studios' Alien: Romulus, depicts the panic that ensues after an alien spacecraft lands near New York. Despite not being a big-budget feature, Alien: Rubicon has proved to be a hit in terms of viewership, with the sci-fi thriller currently sitting at #3 in Prime Video's UK film chart behind only Marching Powder and The London Railway Murders (via FlixPatrol). It dropped a position to #5 on Monday before climbing another two places today, so it seems the film has staying power. Alien: Rubicon is streaming on Prime Video now.
