Best I've seen since Alien

Rating: 7/10 (2 July 2017)

Many reviewers here are pointing out the logic in every move of the film. You can only read them, and wonder what level of space experts they are. It only tells me they loved it by going over every detail, yet they are saying it's dumb. I bet they were scared too. I don't dig deep in accuracy details for a sci-fi fantasy film. It's not a biopic or historical. Of course, you want it to be plausible, and I think the movie accomplishes that overall.
Now on to the good stuff. This movie was very scary, and felt realistic in effect. The monster, although gaining too much intelligence for my plausibility liking, was intense. I felt frightened. I also felt like it was happening to me while watching. My rating for movie skyrockets when that happens. All the actors did serviceable jobs moving the film along, and the special effects were great. I felt the same nervousness when I saw Alien for the first time. People will argue no way, but for me it was darn close, if not better in some ways.
No character really stood out, and not much of any back stories. Jake was the star, and no inter-relationships really stood out. The film's main purpose was to chill you, so I'm okay with that. The end really made me feel dread.
