Where do you start...

Spoiler alert... Spoiler alert... Spoiler alert... Spoiler alert...
Not really, if you have watched alien or anything remotely similar, you have seen this!
Picture the scene, sponge bob square pants goes to space and has a bad dream, then you kind of get the picture of where this film got its direction and plot. You know it's bad when your top rated star Ryan Reynolds dies after 30 minutes, he probably read the rest of the script!
The international space station is occupied by six astronauts, a mars probe is bringing back samples from guess what... Mars, there is a single cell organism that is given life from a controlled experiment under conditions the film explains is pre earth atmosphere. So you make an ass of yourself by assuming it couldn't survive where humans can! Wrong. this bad CGI blob, octopus fish creature thing is super, super intelligent. Not only can it understand the complicated specifications and plans of a space station and how it can enter & leave the space station without a Tomtom sat nav, it can outwit the boffins on the space station. The explanation of how this single cell organism can mutate and become a super criminal without a credible scientific explanation defies even a childlike defence. Mercifully the bad actors are killed off one by one, unfortunately Jake is the last.
Quite why anybody needs to see a 3rd rate scifi when there are quality films out there is only an answer that can come from the director Daniel Espinosa, he must have seen a gap in the market that needed an intelligent piece of slime that is basically cleverer than Einstein within the space of 37 minutes.
When you think that this calamity cost 58 million, you only have one big name actor who starred in the Green Lantern... you kind of wonder where the money was spent? the CGI is mediocre at best! There is T.V. series on lower budgets that achieve better.
All in all this is a film that wouldn't even be in your top 500 or maybe 1000, hang on a minute, whats it called again???
