    Sorry to disappoint... I thought of watching it too. The very first Alien movie was probably the best out of them all. Romulus is an "interquel" - inserted between the events of the first and second Alien movies. Here are the closing lines of one reviewer.... ....Even the most narrow-minded...

    Latency always exists, even in an undersea cable. But for terrestrial communications we need only to place the satellte above 30km to Earth surface. Moon is different. Maybe one day zero latency laser comms will be possible using quantum entangled photons. We never know.
