a "realistic" space monster movie? sadly no

Rating: 6/10 (3 July 2017)

I enjoyed it - plain and simple. Does it have plenty of plot holes? yes it does.
The scientists - while not as moronic as the ones in "Prometheus"(Alien) - do not seem to be the smartest ones ... driven by emotional decisions rather than scientific/logical ones. ... But it is not sooo bad as seen in countless other horror/monster movies.
The Achilles-heel of many horror movies is the poor communication between the protagonists... something that for a positive surprise - does not apply here.
However - the entire movie is "decision-driven" as it is primarily a story about action vs. reaction. And so - the quality of the decisions make or break the movie. As said before - the decisions are not entirely bad - but they are also not good - and when a casual movie viewer get the feeling that those supposed-to-be much smarter people make one poor choice after another - the immersion breaks.
So whats left is a good movie that could have been much better had the story allowed it to be.
