Generic alien horror film

Rating: 3/10 (26 March 2017)

I enjoyed the authentic feeling of ISS and the first 30 minutes of the film. The lack of gravity was beautifully shown and the cast was talented. The beginning was very promising. Spoilers ahead...The film was a strange mixture of science fiction and horror in a very unsatisfying way. Incompetent astronauts were fighting the huge threat and made an endless series of crucial mistakes. At first it is interesting that the new life form is extremely difficult to kill but soon it is just boring, in particular due to over emotional and illogical astronauts. The ending was aiming to be fresh but did not convince me. In a horror film, the capsules would have been other way round, so I guess the director decided that this was an intellectual science fiction film, despite the incompetent astronauts, after all, but it was a bit late for that.
