"Life will find a way!"

Rating: 7/10 (16 June 2017)

Some Haters of this Suspenseful and Well Mounted Sci-Fi-Horror, especially those that Cry "Foul" because of its "Alien" (1979) Roots might not know that the Ridley Scott Franchised Hit was itself Rooted in a B-Movie, "It the Terror from Beyond Space" (1958). So let's not Forget to Remember that virtually Everything is Derivative of Something.
Anyway, on its own, this is an Unoriginal, but Satisfying Space Thriller that takes place in a place of Limited Space. The International Space Station. It's the kind of Thing that was Built for this kind of Thing. Nowhere to Run and Nowhere to Hide. Bring on the Monster.
The Movie Looks and Sounds Great. The Superstar Actors like Gyllenhall and Reynolds were not Needed but Welcomed Aboard. The Movie is not in the Least built on Character, it is built to Terrify and Unsettle and that it does.
Overall, Above Average and Better than "The Martian" (2015) even with its more Limited Scope and has some Brutal Claustrophobic Carnage. It's Gruesome at Times and Gory, but Never Relinquishes its Tone with Unneeded Jump Scares and Cheap Cop Outs.
It's a Mature Movie that has Wide Appeal Across Audience Demographics. Definitely Worth a Watch, especially for Sci-Fi and Horror Fans. Slightly Underrated.
