I expected to love this movie. I was highly disappointed. The one star that I have given should be assigned only to the special effects department, as the movie does have some pretty good effects. The story is carried by the stupidity of the people involved. Some paraphrased quotes: "Hey, look, an alien. Kootchie koo little alien. Here's a sharp instrument to poke my rubber glove." "Hey, that guy just died, maybe I should throw myself at the alien and see if the same thing happens? Oh neat, it does." "Hey, I'm not tethered to the ship, but I want to commit suicide to keep the alien outside, but rather than pushing off and taking the alien with me I'll just hang onto the ship so that the alien won't have to work too hard to kill the next sap." "Hey, I'm the next sap. I'll just use up all of our rocket fuel playing whack-a-alien. Oh darn, now our orbit is screwed up. Wonder why I didn't think of that before firing the jets at random." It's bad. It's just so bad.

Really rate it four or five? I like science and science fiction but to score anything higher than one makes me think they did not watch the film. How can you not compare it to the Alien films, it is clearly a Alien rip off. Alien life from Mars oh what do we do I let's play with it. Oh look it is in me growing getting bigger oh No!!! Also it was so far from Science... labeling it Science Fiction is a huge stretch. Maybe bad fantasy / horror?

Great cast, horrible script, Ryan Reynolds completely underutilized. Rehashing a lot of old sci-fi invasion/discovery tropes, but exploring nothing new in the process. Bottom line, you've already seen this movie under several different names and seen it done way, way better. These are possibly some of the worst and dumbest scientists and astronauts possible. Of course the lab has a major quarantine flaw. Of course they don't do the weeks/months of carefully controlled study that any rational scientist would do. Of course the geeky scientist is so excited he ignores the scientific method and touches the lifeform he's barely spent minutes studying, of course he's so excited he does other dumb things like shocking it with electricity to wake it up. The fact that the lifeform is growing so quickly seems to bother zero people. It kills 3 times and grows at an alarming rate before anyone seriously considers a threat assessment. Essentially the whole movie exists because a bunch of people who should be highly trained professionals act like idiots and make a series of ridiculous ignorant rookie mistakes that endanger everyone's lives.
