Do you really like Ryan Reynolds?

Rating: 8/10 (5 May 2017)

I am not. Ryan Reynolds is a very popular now, but for me... After I saw poster with him first thought was "OMG, not again"! But I decided to watch movie and was surprised. Pleasantly surprised.
Script. The unknown alien creature at the space station... wait a minute! Have you watched the trailer? Then you know all script. And I will not list in what order crew members died, and who remained.
The script is typical for this type of horror movies. And, it should be noted, it works. Limited space, unknown threat and persons that want to escape. There are typical behavior of characters some clever "thing" with the Harvard diploma. It's a classic. But the main question about implementation.
Operator works. Great, I really like it, especially on the big screen. You have space station with limited locations, so there are not so many option for shooting. But in this case it's harmonious.
Actors and characters. Houston, we have a problem. The characters in the movie are weak. I don't know why. Perhaps because of the actors. Perhaps because of the script. Don't know. But you have such feelings "When will that alien kill this character?". Mostly for all characters.
We have typical characters with short characteristic: smart, humorous, serious etc. Yes, you do not have time in the film, but create one interesting person!
Overall atmosphere. It's one of the best horror for me lately. I don't understand why movie is compared with "Alien". Well, actually I understand - because marketing strategy. Some spirit of "Alien" you can feel. But it's different films. Also, moments with "game pause" were bad for me. Changing scenes and action are normal method, but you feel some kind of automatism. At one moment they run away, and click! - characters at once forget about chase. Such moments repeat and repeat, which irritates
The movie has problem with interesting characters, but all this is compensated by the atmosphere.
8/10
