RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

noahfarnsworth Overall, this movie had great potential, but falls a little short. The actors do a great job for what they are given, but the character backstory and development lack mostly until the end. The majority of the movie is spent by the characters running away, and trying to destroy the alien known as "Calvin", but ultimately fail. The ending of the movie is a good twist that I didn't see coming, but right as you expect more to happen the movie ends leaving you with wanting to see what happens next. Overall, I give this movie a 6 because of the suspense of the movie, and for trying something a little different compared to other alien movies. The actors/actresses do a great job in their role, but for me it falls a little short due to lack of backstory, and a lack of emotional connection to the characters due to the script.

ddacarica Very bad try copying ALIEN and THING. Wasted my time.

victorgardenal TLDR: the world's dumbest (and unluckiest) space crew meets a(n initially) single cell serial killer. Ugh.If you like DUMB, movies go for it. This might be the top 10 material for you. This movie will likely offend you for its stupidity. And for being unoriginal.There are so many problems in this movie we could write a PhD with it. Suspension of disbelief start to die in 5 minutes. First almost every scene has a BIG scientific or common sense problem. This is usually not a problem in general, as most movies have such problem (and even the critically praised "Interstellar" has "Quantum Gravity Love" in it, which is dumb and cliche in many levels - but the movie needed an artificial out, so it was a bearable flaw -, but at least is decent in other parts to make for an OK movie). For this movie, tho, this is unbearable for happening too frequently. If you ever talked online with an astronaut, you know they are anything but dumb people - they are usually FAIRLY technically knowledgeable.All characters are stupid, make dumb decisions and you do not have time to relate to most of them (their acting is ok - even if they do not convince me they work in STEM fields or with piloting ships - given the trash they are given to work with; they are not the best characters of the world, by the way, as they lack depth). The scientists do not act like scientists would. The plot is the most predictable ever (there is a 50% chance you'll guess the ending when you get past half of the movie, and there is 100% chance you'll guess what will happen in the immediate next scene) and was made in a way to allow for a possible sequel...The CGI is passable. Not great, not bad. No jump scares, just boredom and collective sudden idiocy. The cast is actually great, but... It won't help. The scenery is ok.Dumb stuff that I'd tolerate in other movies: They play a game of catch to get the soil sample (physically very unrealistic, and useless for the plot - it'll just make you think the astronauts here are dumb, which is going to turn out being true).The organism drinks toxic liquid coolant for food - sure.Stations thrusters connected to the station interior. Explosively reactive fuel that doesn't intoxicate or reacts with the organism.Unbearably dumb stuff: Astronauts with bad work ethics. The crew preferred to cry instead of dealing a series of serious problems at many points in the movie.The billion year old sample has a cell alive that only needs glucose and - spore like cell, maybe, covered in adamantium and invulnerable to everything, including fire (not even the alien in ALIEN has that) and frostbite, but can get cold arbitrarily by the end of the movie - a specific gas composition (for now, but this changes radically and arbitrarily later, the organism being able to survive in space for long times later... BUT IT LOVES OXYGEN???) to relive, which is promptly done, with the SCIENTISTS not asking themselves if this is a dumb idea - I'm not a biologist and even I know this would be a bad idea. "Invulnerable Starfish" should be the name of the movie.All of the creature's biology seems, by sheer coincidence, to be basically equal and compatible to ours (which would be quite unlikely), yet most of its cells are magically undiferentiated and can be muscle, brain and eyes at the same time (which is so dumb).An organism apparently without bones or hard structures that can break hands at will, and can easily use tools after being a single cell for a billion years.CDC approved lab designed by a kid with legos that would not be safe to investigate a virus that can't harm humans, with kitchen gloves that can be easily pierced.The communication system is broken, but who cares for redundancy? A space station costing billions that doesn't have backups for essential systems that even airplanes would have, right?Station's outta fuel just before the alien died... Very conveniently.The creature seems to learn how to sabotage radio communications AND to fly the escape pod back for a re-entry.
