For mercy's sake.. Help!!

Rating: 5/10 (22 April 2017)

OK I'm late to the game here, but please pardon this, I'm just so confused after watching this movie. First, to get the basics out of the way;
1. Beautiful cinematography, excellent production and surprisingly decent music score for a horror movie. You can tell money was spent here, and the movie did have some jump scares and true horror moments that were true to the genre. Good job there.
2. That said, I wish they would have spent more time questioning the plot and storyline. Everyone has already stated the basics on the completely illogical creature, but fine let's throw that out the window for a moment and let's say somehow such a creature was possible for the sake of discussion. (I will say it does suck when a movie forces you to do that, when it wraps the movie in realism but forces you to abandon consistent logic even in the movies' own universe in order to make the plot work, but fine).
A movie should not in my humble opinion fold back on itself in its own logic. With this creature running around needing oxygen to the point of sucking on cans of it and withering away in a vacuum, it can't do that yet hang around in open space jumping about like a rat on a ship. Furthermore, please explain how this creature just 'knows' things that it has know reference point to know- one moment it's figuring out how to use tools, next its navigating the inner and out workings of a space station- including how to access the station through the thrusters? Only one man on the station knew that and this thing just knew it right off the bat- not to mention it knew to keep trying after several burns of those same thrusters to keep it out- it would stand to reason that without knowing the fuel level, with advanced intelligence it should infer to keep away from the thrusters. Maybe try again after a distraction, not just doggedly ramming the gate so to speak. And how is it possible a space station would have what is in effect a non air-tight seal on the thrusters? I'm no astronaut but wouldn't that affect pressure bleeding air into space all the time? And furthermore, if this thing is so smart it can anticipate needing to keep the scientist alive for some bizarre reason to flying the ship for reentry, why even bother with all the savage attacks on everyone even at the risk of being sucked out into space? If it's so brilliant why not just jump in the escape pod and jump down to earth? It's not weaponized, there is very little they could have done and it would have meant far less risk to it- which with its own strong drive to survive, would stand to reason it would make decisions leading to the most safe result for itself and certainly not the animalistic stalking and killing of each scientist one by one. I could go on for days here.
So many questions, so little answers. But hey, it's a movie. If you just leave it at that and enjoy it in a high budget b movie horror kind of way, you can have fun watching it. But you can't take this movie as serious as it wants to take itself. I also can't stand that it is being compared to Alien, and came out so close to Covenant. It's not even close in so many ways, and for that reason I dinged it an extra point. To be completely fair, 6/10 for this movie.
