The last thing we want to find in space is life.

Rating: 7/10 (8 February 2018)

...and this movie follows that thinking. With any luck at all we won't find anything alive or even remotely alive if and when we journey into space. All the touchy feely "we're not alone" nonsense that seems to be driving most of our near and deep space exploration is incredibly stupid and dangerous. What we want to find in space is WEALTH. Wealth with no strings attached. That's what I believe anyway.
So the trajectory of the story line here is very gratifying to me. Starts out with all the warm and fuzzy universal love and then..... Ha! See? I told you so.
I think of it more as a cautionary tale rather than simply another space monster movie. And that is very different than the Alien franchise. It's really more like the wonderful Twilight Zone episode "To Serve Man". Both accentuate a fundamental truth, humans are basically stupid.
