I want my time back...

Rating: 2/10 (20 June 2017)

As someone who has seen thousands of movies, I get quite incensed when someone makes a movie that's already been made before. What's worse is when they try and recreate an iconic movie. Some might not have seen the iconic movie made back in the late 1970's but it's popularity is so huge, there are few regardless of age who have not seen the movie "Alien". Okay? Enough said. The similarities are so stark, I'm furious and want my time back I wasted watching this.
I try to write reviews as movies are big part of my life, but more often than not, I get distracted and forget to write. But this movie really struck a nerve and it's only been a few minutes since I watched this horrible film and had to write about it now to try and alleviate my immense disappointment.
I got sucked into watching the film because it was just released today on DVD and Rotten Tomatoes gave it 67%... I should have paid attention to the audience score which was 58%.
In this movie, they discover life on a cellular level that grows at a totally unbelievable pace. The story revolves around a space station that for the size has seemingly a very small crew and coincidentally, the same crew size as the movie Alien. I really needn't go on, because if you know the movie Alien, you know what's coming next as the alien species grows. The ending is somewhat different and I'll leave it there but I can't say it's worth watching to see the ending. I probably should have read the reviews as I see so many others who came away with the same feelings regarding the Alien comparison. "Alien" is one of the greatest horror/sci-fi movies ever made and you just can't try and make the movie over again into something only slightly different.
