All good, but from memory the film is substantially longer. I no longer remember the key difference(s) but I have a feeling it's something to do with the ending(?).

Alien: Romulus (2024) While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.

I am so psyched about finding this series created by Chris Haddock, who also did the superb Romeo Section. I believe these series are totally Canadian and both take place in Vancouver. Nobody seems to have heard of them but maybe they are more familiar in Canada.
