It's a monster movie not Citizen Kane or Shakespeare

Rating: 8/10 (2 November 2018)

I think this was an awesome horror monster move for the space age. Yes I know this got terrible reviews and was a financial flop. Many saying the script had too many holes in its plot. But remember s good monster movie is a roller coaster ride not Shakespeare ok ? And it recovering only almost twice its production cost of 58 million - which as everyone in Hollywood movie business knows is not a win unless it brings in 3 times its cost is labeled a flop. But all that finance Mumbo Jumbo aside, I felt the flick was quite terrifying and visually well made. The monster looked credible and well developed visually, growing and expanding its size and capabilities as it took on more food ( a mouse and then humans! ) it seemed quite scientifically to make sense - anything that could live in a space hibernation dormancy for billions of years must have developed as a superior dominant life form over a much longer time period and so have a quite highly developed predatory intelligence and adaptability to all extremes and as the plot projects it seems it likely may have wiped out all life on mars..... thus to the scientific and fantasyland moviegoers can see a quite credible and horrifying monster that just possibly could exist out there is space somewhere... And foolish little humanity comes along and enables it by "investigating its life capabilities" as so creates the exact nourishment for the perfect killing system we cannot stop, out fight or out think. Quit an ultimate terror to contemplate in real life huh ? I think so. SCARY!
