Horror sci-fi at its best

Rating: 9/10 (5 October 2016)

Yes, it's not Alien (which i personally consider the best sci-fi movie of all time), but it's also NOT a 1/10 sci-fi horror movie which many IMDb users seems to think. FAR from it. I'd dare these people to give examples of recent sci-fi horror movies that does a better job!
We have to realize that this is a really rare genre. I'm personally very thankful for any title in this particular genre with a big budget, that can give us top-notch special effects and an interesting setting with decent enough actors and story.
The story on the whole is excellent, it might not be executed perfectly, but again, very expected from this genre. I mean we could all wish that the next slasher movie has Oscar material actors and story, but it would be slightly silly, it's not what we should expect or even why we would go to see such a movie. There are FEW examples (like Alien) where everything actually is great, greater than expected for the particular genre, obviously it is to be considered more like a happy accidents than anything else. The origin of sci-fi and horror is pulp fiction, b-movies, comics, it's not to be taken too seriously!
Instead of expecting a new Alien the next time you see a horror sci-fi movie, perhaps be more open minded, be FAR less critical to things that really doesn't take away from the overall atmosphere of the movie (what should be priority in a movie like this), and you will have a lot more fun.
