*may contain spoiler . I found this mediocre. all flash.

Rating: 5/10 (28 July 2012)

I found the characters didn't have much substance, the chain of events were very predictable and the story was a litttle stale. Characters make weird decisions and certain scenes didn't make sense.
For example. If this is mankind's possibility for the biggest discovery of all time (finally meeting an alien life form) why would they send only one ship with one tiny little crew? I would send multiple fleets just in case of an emergency. That right from the beginning already didn't make sense to me. The movies failed have to have scenes on an epic scale all it had was flashy effects.
That non human was also fricken creepy. Why bring that along? It can't be trusted. This is like a repeat of alien with slight changes.
