Thumbs down (SPOILER ALERT)

Rating: 4/10 (10 January 2019)

The movie is ant-Christian, but that shouldn't be a surprise. It's just that movies are better when they avoid religion, politics & sex. Anyway, the movie does well w/ suspense & creepiness. The affair was pointless. It detracted from the story. It was also militarily offensive. Having served in the military myself, as an 11B, the tactics were annoyingly wrong. When the physicist gets sucked into the cabin, Portman's first response is to leave her weapon & run after physicist? It's been established they're in a hostile environment so all weapons should be at "Low Ready" at the very least, at all times. Never go anywhere w/o a Battle Buddy at all times. They sleep in a tower but keep watch on the ground? A phosphorus grenade is all it took to destroy this alien technology? The ending was week. To may questions. The visual affects were mesmerizing, bu I can't help but think 2001 Space Odyssey.
