New Movies on Streaming: 'The Wild Robot,' Alien: Romulus,' + More

The delightful animated feature The Wild Robot and the box-office success Alien: Romulus are among this week’s best new movies on VOD.

Also available this week is Reagan, the biopic we probably didn’t need but still got about the 40th President of the United States. Dennis Quaid plays the Gipper in a film that also co-stars Kevin Sorbo, Jon Voigt and… Scott Stapp? Whether you plan to watch it as a comedy or a drama, it’s available now on demand.

These are just a few of the films that are available to watch on Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, YouTube, and through your cable service this week. Check out what movies are available to buy or rent on demand now.

The Wild Robot

Based on the novel by Peter Brown, director Chris Sanders helms the animated film The Wild Robot, the story of a robot who, upon getting lost in the woods, ends up adopting a baby goose as her own. Lupita Nyong’o, Kit Connor, and Catherine O’Hara lend their voices to the film which is out now on VOD.

Alien: Romulus

Decider’s review of Alien: Romulus places it in the top three films of the Alien franchise, and now that it’s available on VOD, it’s worth checking out. The film, which co-stars Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla, Civil War) and David Jonsson (Rye Lane), takes place in the timeline somewhere between Alien and Aliens and is as much an homage to the originals as it is a reimagining of them.
