Waste of time

Rating: 2/10 (2 January 2016)

I'm seriously mad. This movie started as something promising and turned into something horrible. I already expected a movie that is more horror than sci-fi.
My problems with this movie were:

THE SPACESHIP DESIGN is horrible and doesn't make sense in any kind of way. The ships look like updated planes from 1930. Seriously? I mean, even the spaceships from 1950 looked a lot more futuristic. The interior? All dark. I also don't see why they've designed the sleeping pots the way they did? Like – every time someone's being released from a pot, the whole water splashes onto the floor. Who's gonna clean that sh**? Also – spikes! Everywhere! Why?! I don't see any plausible reason behind that. I also don't get how it's so easy to turn on gravity on board? TV shows like 'The 100' make gravity on board a lot more realistic.

THE STORY starts great. Mystery is there – all over the place. And somehow – after 50 minutes or so – the movie starts to get messy. Lots of blood – lots of scary things happen. But it turns out, the spaceship got to a place no human has ever seen and came back with something evil – something that has an incredible power. OK. Cool story – but it doesn't make any sense to me. Look: don't you think – whatever it is/was – it really gives a f**k on what we humans are doing in this universe? I don't think so. If something is that intellectual and powerful, I think it's going to act more like Dr. Manhattan ('Watchmen'). I don't know. Thorough the story they try to come up with a plausible story, but it just keeps on getting more and more absurd.

THE CHARACTERS. I just didn't give a  Practically all of them died and they died horribly but as they practically prevented the audience to get an emotional connection to the characters, it just made the movie pretty boring.

I love sci-fi, I'm not a huge fan of horror (though, I think there are great movies worth watching), but this is none of the above. If I had to choose a great sci-fi movie, I'd pick Gravity or Sunshine.
