Candy for CinemaSins

Rating: 4/10 (9 June 2017)

If you are into sci-fi and looking to kill 2 hours with a bag of popcorn, this movie will do. The visuals are okay but honestly that is where it ends.
So many times we have seen sci-fi movies where decision making is so incompetent that you loose immersion and start rooting for the bad guys or the alien, simply because you cannot stand the horrible way the actors are forced to act. Life is exactly that kind of movie. I will now mention these terrible decisions as well as the things that happen. I will also mention some of the illogical things that take place completely ignoring physics.
***SPOILERS BELOW***
So an a capsule returning from Mars with samples is caught by an extended arm on the ISS. The ISS moves at about 5 miles pr. second, a returning capsules would at its orbital pericenter be moving twice as fast before breaking maneuvers and any attempt to intercept... I mean, you don't catch a bullet with your hand, do you?
Alien cell is brought onboard ISS where the crew constantly argues and rudely interrupts one another.
Alien cell is not put in a compartment which can be jettisoned or where it can be properly contained
Alien cell is is apparently all types of cells in one and can feed of oxygen (seriously, come on)
Alien organism becomes self-aware and decides to eat anything organic to grow
Director has no clue on how fire works in zero gravity
Alien organism is immune to heat, cold, radiation, electricity, pressure and whatnot.
Director thinks that communications arrays require coolant fluid in order to operate, that there are no backup communications on the ISS except for the main one and that with the thousands of telecommunications satellites you cannot get a signal in orbit.
Crew does not evacuate until everything is nearly destroyed
Earth tries to push ISS into deep space with a small lifeboat capsule sent from earth. This really annoyed me, because such a small capsule cannot have the propellant/fuel to to push the ISS anywhere it will simply extend its orbit slightly. Secondly, what a stupid decision that is, there are even 2 onboard astronauts, how would they even return? Why the hell not detonate a ICBM next to it, that is close to the only thing that might slightly have a chance to deter its course! GAWD!
Lastly, it is the acting, it is so over dramatized in order to try and make the movie seem good.
And that British chick in the end screams as if she wont return to earth shortly after, she never leaves orbit! DIRECTOR, if you are going to read about how orbital mechanics works at LEAST frikken read about how they work!!! Just because you make a burn for 5 seconds in any direction around earth and slightly push away from it, doesn't mean you wont return STRAIGHT BACK!!! You need to burn for a LONG TIME to even break earths orbit and align yourself with another planetary orbit. And leaving the solar system? We haven't even invented something that can go out and explore deep space!!!
Best example? Halleys comet! It does leave our solar system but always returns because guess what, it is caught by our suns gravitational field which means, it is ACTUALLY IN ORBIT AROUND THE SUN!
LEARN SCIENCE BEFORE YOU MAKE A SCI-FI MOVIE!
Enjoy this one CinemaSins, I know you are going to have a field day with it, can't wait to see you guys roast this garbage on YouTube!
