Nothing new...

Rating: 4/10 (21 September 2017)

I expected good things from this movie. Not great, just good. Still I was disappointed with it. It brings nothing new. At all!
The cast is pretty decent, but the acting delivered is weak.
Ryan Reynolds, of course, plays the "funny guy", the one with the "smart mouth", making jokes about everything and being sarcastic all the time. Seriously, there's no room for that in this kind of film. Save it for Deadpool 2, buddy!
The rest of the ship's crew is formed by the average characters: there's a family guy, ONE black guy, the introspective guy that abandoned mankind (Jake Gyllenblorghpf - whatever his name is) and the others.
Sure, there's the one that sacrifices herself, locking herself out of the ship to save the others. Then there's the tough decision: to allow the creature to enter the ship again. They all die one by one, until there's just one female, that would be saved but gets doomed to float eternally through space, and Jake, who chose to be the one to be thrown into space with the creature (to save mankind), but the creature (very intelligent, even able to operate a small ship)makes them both return to Earth, where it will grow as a plague and kill us all.
The entire plot is bad: "Oh, we found some living cells on another planet. They have been dormant for ages. Let's feed them and probe them with an electric stick to see what happens. Oh, it's growing, multiplying, getting smarter, eating us, killing us..."
The end.
I mean, how repetitive is this? Hundreds of films have been made with this weak plot and did not succeed. Why spending all that money on production and marketing of something this mediocre?
