very disappointed

Rating: 4/10 (25 September 2017)

As the title states, I was very disappointed with this movie. I am not sure where I got the idea this movie was a blockbuster-type, but I was under that impression when I watched it. It was not a block-buster. It was not even good. It was watchable, but don't expect to be wow-ed by it. The movie was slow in the beginning. By slow, I mean boring. The pace was far too slow to maintain interest. It's like they had a notion of an idea, but no idea how to write a story around that notion. The last half of the movie was fast-paced, but full of over-used tropes, really bad decisions, and nonsensical science. Again, I am not sure what I was expecting, but this was a cookie-cutter style horror movie. No originality. The movie was predictable, even the ending. The idea of finding alien life, and the potential for that life to be hazardous to humans is an interesting topic that could make an interesting movie, but this movie is not it.
