1. Svenska Yle

Positive, no rating

Translated from swedish: While "Alien 7" has its moments, it doesn't stand a chance of even coming close to the sphere in which the 1979 film forever hovers. Not because I want to be an elitist joy-kill, but simply because it's just not possible to be the first more than once.
- Silja Sahlgren-Fodstad
Swedish: Svenska Yle »
2. Göteborgs-Posten

Positive, no rating

Translated from swedish: Director Fede Álvarez succeeds where many others have failed - with "Alien 7", the most iconic monster in film history is given a dignified and stylish place in a science fiction horror film for the first time since the 1980s.

3. Aftonbladet

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: It has become one of the better films in the series, by picking up ideas from previous films and still making something of its own.

8. Filmbladet

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: After a very strong start, "Alien 7" unfortunately loses all its unique ideas and becomes a copy of the films that came before it.
- Fredrik Lagnetoft
Swedish: Review: "Alien: Romulus"
9. Svenska Dagbladet

5 / 10

Translated from swedish: It is an exciting and stylish film. Yet it is so fascinating yet lacking in content.

10. Senses

5 / 10

Translated from swedish: "Alien 7" clearly gets a lot right when it comes to the world, the look and the feeling, but unfortunately the film falls into far too many clichés and the characters make strange and illogical choices.
- Henric Brandt

11. Nöjesguiden

5 / 10

Translated from swedish: It's okay to borrow and there seems to be a sense of nostalgia in Hollywood for a bygone era. But it never gets exciting.
