95% of a Good Sci-Fi Movie Killed Sequel-itis

Rating: 5/10 (21 June 2017)

This a well put together Sci-Fi movie that totally tanks at the end. The acting was good, it built very nice suspense. The scientists being portrayed on the space station were written to have objectivity even in dangerous situations, even in situations that call for self-sacrifice. That gave the film a level of realism that 'Alien: Covenant' was lacking. The alien is pretty scary and I was wondering why the movie got bad reviews. Then the ending came and all was clear to me. The ending is totally forced and unnatural and makes virtually no sense, whatsoever. You can tell it wasn't the original ending as the script was written. It was just jammed in, probably by studio executives because they thought 'Alien: Covenant' was going to be a smash and they wanted to create an alien franchise of their own. Well, between this movie and Covenant, I'd be surprised if ANY kind of Sci-Fi is considered viable. It's a damn shame because it could have been a good movie. I don't think anybody would spend their money on 'Life 2: Calvin Strikes Back'. I sure as hell know I won't.
Hollywood, PLEASE, STOP WITH THE FRANCHISE FISHING AND MAKE A GOOD CLOSED ENDED MOVIE FOR CHANGE!!! PLEASE!!
