Life
The best part of finding new forms of life is getting to name them after overrated '70s rock bands.
However, the scientists in this sci-fi movie won't have time to name their deadly discovery: The Eagles.
While on route back home, crewmembers aboard an international space station (Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, Ryan Reynolds) uncover a latent organism in some Martian topsoil.
When the entity is roused, everyone is ecstatic. When it begins to feed off them for sustenance, they become panicked. Meanwhile, the ship has lost all communications and has started displacing fuel, threatening their safe reentry to Earth.
With its painfully mundane title, its derivative space alien script, and the astronauts scant character development, Life comes off as a pointless and unexciting voyage that is reminiscent of similar interstellar tales that are far superior.
Incidentally, you do have to declare all alien life you purchased on your customs form.
