another horrible sci fi from Hollywood

Rating: 3/10 (25 June 2017)

If only they would have hired one remotely technical person to help a bit with the science. So much of this movie was simply not believable. Right from the opening scene of catching (like a baseball catcher) another spaceship hurtling through space. C'mon! And Hollywood does have a thing for portraying astronauts as frantic, highly emotional and volatile - that's just totally wrong (these people are trained to be problem solvers, to use their heads). And the whole lack of adherence to even a basic quarantine protocol - we are talking about an alien life form here - is just so annoying and cliché. Insert character that insists on just opening up the door and going in and saving the guy that's just been infected/bitten/whatever - how many times have we seen this?
I give this a 3 because I love sci fi and the acting was quite acceptable (they did their best with a very weak script).
