Not getting the credit it deserves.

Rating: 8/10 (4 August 2017)

Just to get it out of the way, I thought this was a really good film.
I feel compelled to write this review to readjust the ratio of terrible ones. I cannot begin to imagine the mind set of someone who walks into the cinema and says to themselves, oh I hope this SCI FI / HORROR film about an alien sticks completely to the laws of physics and the characters portrayed within act in rational manner....just like every horror or sci to film out there ( rolls eyes ).
Personally I found this film to be exactly as expected, it wasn't a thrill ride of twists and turns with deep and meaningful characters. But it isn't supposed to either. It's supposed to be an easy watching Friday night film, requiring just the right level of concentration after a weeks work with a few obligatory jump scares and a suitably cliché ending.
In all seriousness though. If you like a bit of cheesy monster against puny humans trapped and fighting for survival. Watch this film. But if you're one of these people that think the slightest possibility that an alien (carbon based or otherwise) could hold its breath for 15 minutes or consume toxic coolant is absolutely beyond the realms of reasonable storytelling then give it a miss.
