OK. Lets recapitulate the events in this "science" fiction film.

the best one first. What is the basic drive of life? Survival of the organism? Ah, sorry, no. Survival of the gene pool. => That means: Spread. Reproduce as much as possible. What do bacteria do again? Ah yes, stop reproducing and hop around like a bunny..

evolution to a life form where every cell can equally give any functionality, and work together to create a common entity => sorry, no, that is not how evolution works. And no, that is also not how meta-organism work, or any generation of complexity. It is inherently divergent. A meta organism would always find potentials for diversification.. and only in its germs could possibly preserve this pluripotency. This could have been a nice plot (actually the background of Alian)..

scientists in first contact with extraterrestrial Life make all "human-looking" mistakes possible.. Yes, of course that is very much the protocol. Lets touch it. Lets put sharp things in the chamber that could destroy the gloves. Lets not burn it in the chamber.. Ah, a nice scientific one was: Lets first crank the heat up far above mars level.. and then afterwards change the atmosphere, because, well, if it is not this gas at this temperature, i expect it to be another gas at this temperature.. all kind of the same :)

oh yes, once it has touched someone but left, lets make a ceremony for that person and touch him/her as much as possible. It is not a cellular invasive organism we are talking about (like every humble virus on earth or bacteria in your toilet).. no danger here...

it seems the organism grows, but does not profit quite much from its behavior. I would suck every source of nutrients and water empty there. The people. (nice plot as well). Which it doesn't.

of course, the black scientist is the one being deeply spiritually touched and convinced that it is a good idea to nurse his baby right beside his comrades ! :D Really.. when does world get over such stereotypes. The Mexican guy was good as well

of course, every form of life is capable of learning really quick. Without communication.. because thats how learning works, right? Look at smth and u will understand. Yes indeed.

Only good point: There is a nice plot twist at the end. The director, acting and effects are good, but the plot is just unbearable.
