A dumb alien type movie

Rating: 5/10 (27 June 2017)

This is like the "alien" movie, but not as good.
Right from the start, it seems the astronauts, especially the biologist, is doing something very risky with some cell samples from mars.
Then when it is clear the cell samples are dangerous, the obvious thing is to shut down life support system in the lab but nobody bothered.
Also the astronauts are too emotional to carry out established protocols. They don't even think about the consequence of trying to rescue one comrade.
In many scary movies, in order to allow the often outnumbered creature to survive longer, they make the creature smarter than the good guys.
If the creatures are written to be as smart as the script writers, then the good guys have to be written to be dumber than the writers. If the writers are of average intelligence, then the good guys would appear to be of below average intelligence.
There are sections of glaring time fillers where nothing is happening to advance the plot. I fast forwarded through these sections.
The other aspects of this movie are OK, though the weightlessness looks a little unnatural.
I don't regret watching this movie, but I can't help criticizing it afterwards.
