Give it a go, but don't await logic, deep characters or a surprising end.

I just watched this movie on Netflix and it somehow surprised me positive and negative. Thats why i signed up to review what i experienced while watching this sci-fi, horror trip on the ISS. I only want to spoiler the first 20 Minutes.
Beginning:
The movie takes place on the ISS. The crew awaits an probe with some examples from Mars containing an example with a possible lifeform. They want to research it and find out if it is really an lifeform from Mars and so the first Alien lifeform.
The Probe is out of controll and the crew on the ISS want to catch it with an large robotic arm. There are chats between the crew members and what do you await on the ISS? Specialists. Professionals. You start with Ryan Renolds, who is an great actor but doesn't fit into this movie, chatting all along like , "Yeah, yeah", "Faster, faster, FASTER!", "Spoiler Alarm!" ... he just does not fit here on THAT place.
So he wents out and has to manually catch the probe with a robotic arm.
The Probe is a waaaay too fast. It's not like 20 km/h too fast more like 200 or even more. This is absolutly beyond physics and really impossible. But hey they did it! Somehow. "Whoohoo *cought cought* Yes!" Everyone is happy except me.
That moment i turned off all logical thinking and thought: "Well my brother watched it and he liked it, so i want at least watch it and have something to talk with him." and i wanted to know what this lifeform is. Maybe it turns out good. So trash this first10 minutes.
Real start of the movie:
This is where the real beginning of the movie starts. They exermine the probe under microscope in the isolated lab of the ISS. They try to get it alive and succeed. It's intresting to watch and on earth they give this lifeform the name "Charlie". After a few hours it evolves and starts to grow and learn.
In the first 20 min until now, the movie failed a lot at realism. Not in realism like "It's an Alien, this is impossible" or "No lifeform can evolve like this!". More like the basic physics. The cast. The setting overall and the crew. This is the worst for SCIENCE-fiction. Imagine this in other genres.
This sadly continues and only works when you don't know anything about basic physics, chemnistry, biology, space and phew ... a lot other basic stuff or you can just put it aside and ignore it. Beside of this you get a typical "Alien-is-hungry!-Needs-food-to-evolve!-Kill-all-humans-as-gory-as-possible."-movie. But in this category, it is pretty good. The lifeform is effective, deadly and resistant. Humans get chased. Humans die. Humans want to survive. And so wants the alien.
Grab your popcorn and give it a go. You may be thrilled or amused. Depends on your expections on the scifi-horror genre.
