Attack of the Martian Octopus......

Rating: 6/10 (31 March 2017)

This film could just have easily been called Attack of the Martian Octopus.
Sorry if that initial description sounds depreciating but there's really not a lot to this film. Its a fundamentally simple premise that, in a basic way, is akin to the likes of Alien, just not as exciting.
The acting is reasonable but this is not a film run by narrative, for the most part. Its an exposition driven affair, that is action focused. To be fair too, there's a good amount of action but the nature of the film is restricted by the narrow confines of the space station, in which it takes place.
I'd say not a bad film as such but not doing anything terribly innovative . A few more risks and maybe a more expansive setting, would have added some depth. Six out of ten from me.
