This could have been really good

Rating: 5/10 (10 July 2017)

When I saw the trailer I was pretty excited about this movie as it reminded me of the first time i saw the trailer to Alien.......sadly its just not anywhere near that level.
The premise is good and the first half hour or so is great but its the creature in this creature feature that really lets the movie down; unless you have a morbid fear of jelly or jelly like creatures it soon just looks like a mini blob in space terrorizing the crew helped along by one unbelievable situation after another.
When I was watching it and one the main stars dies early on I thought they would go with the whole creature takes over the body and they go on a rampage type story which would have been naff also.
The ending is also depressingly familiar........and predictable. I'm going to assume they thought they might get a sequel out of it and you still might see it in scope of a low budget b movie but the cast had sense not to sign on for that.
Technically the movie is good and the acting is fine its just the grey goo octibob that is as scary as a stay puff marshmallow man. You also sadly don't really care about the characters in the end or along the way as they get picked off one by one despite the usual family pics and sad back stories.
Worth a watch if you are bored one evening and its on terrestrial TV otherwise I would give it a miss
