    The problem with a lot of space horror movies like these is that they don’t understand exactly how smart, clever, and capable astronauts actually are. I live in Houston, Texas, and I have met actual astronauts. Each of them typically have the fitness of track-team members combined with the intelligence of multiple STEM professors crammed into their heads. They are literally chosen for their aptitudes for making smart choices and tough decisions in split-second, life-or-death scenarios. They are the most badass nerds you will ever come across, and there is no way in Heaven these characters add up to even a fraction of what a real astronaut is capable of.

    This movie annoyed me a lot when i saw it ( i really dislike negative endings that feels unfair) because the alien was 20% dangerous and 80% extremely lucky.
    I'm not an engineer but i really feels that a couple of moments don't make sense:
    1)the way the laboratory works (the valves etc) doesn't make any sense, that's a place that clearly should be possible to completely separate with one button if necessary.
    2)once Calvin was in space i'm pretty sure there was no way it could actually go back inside the space station, it could have entered the nozzle but i still can't understand how it managed to get inside where humans are...may be i'm missing something but it doesn't make sense to me.
    The problem is that i'm ready to forgive stupid stuff in a movie like Alien because they are basically space truckers while in this movie the protagonist are astronauts so they are supposed to be some of the most competent men and women on the planet.

      Honestly this movie annoyed me to no end with its biology
      Yes, I am not biologist myself, but the biology in this movie is absolutely insane
      The whole "every cell is a muscle, brain and a sensory organ" is so stupid. It would not make it extremely powerful, it would make it extremely hungry because sustaining all of that would be nigh impossible, and it also wouldn't make it more powerful than specialized cells
      And yes, the engineering issues are also incredible. The fact that you can get from a laboratory to anywhere in the ship is so dumb. The laboratory should be it's own separated system capable of being thrown out into the void of the universe in case of, well, anything going wrong. They are quite literally dealing with another form of life. As far as they know there is a possibility that Mars being nowadays a dead planet is the result of that lifeform but they play with it like it's a friendly doggo

They needed to realize once Calvin got one of them that person was already dead. The second Calvin exited the glove that section of the station should have been quarantined and separated.

    I like how after realizing its cells were durable enough to withstand burning and whatnot, they never attempt to harm/kill it using physical trauma, e,g: jamming a sharp object (such as a scalpel) through its skull or cutting off its tentacles/wings. There were two perfect opportunities to test it; when it was feeding on the dude's leg and when it was busy hugging the oxygen candle(s), leaving its head fully exposed.

    Why is it that alien biology in movies keep switching from trying to be (semi) realistic to being like that kid on the playground who during make-believe fantasy battles, constantly says things like "nuh uh, I'm immune to fire"? If they don't want it to follow our rules, just make the alien an unexplainable lovecraftian-like entity and move on with the story.

    This movie was creepy AF! But the worst for me was Ryan Reynolds' death. Partly because of the way it was done, just brutal and extra-violating and horrific. But also partly because when there's an actor who predominately does comedy parts, and you see them hurt or dying in some horrible way, Idk, it always hit me a little harder. Like Jack Black dying in The Jackal or in I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, he's so zany and lighthearted but then he's in a scene where someone stabs him with an ice pick while he's crying like a baby and it just tugs at you more because of the actor themselves and not necessarily the character they play. Not sure if other people get that feeling. Like I support comedy actors not being typecast, and branching out. Just saying it's a little rough to see XD hopefully that makes sense.

    • @RJALEXANDER777

    While I enjoyed the movie, it still felt rather dumb.
    The setup to experiment with Calvin felt rather halfassed. The moment he showed being able to move, his box should have been sealed the moment he started moving, it was designed to contain a potential biohazard, not to contain an animal. They could have easily stopped giving it food and oxygen. It hybernated for who knows how many million years on Mars without food or oxygen, so stopping the experiment and waiting for a lab that is better suited to deal with something that could potentially move and attack was no problem. The risk of them loosing Calvin was rather low.
    That they were concerned about Calvin having died due to the accident in the beginning of the movie was especially stupid, because again, the inital cell they had hybernated on the hostile environment on Mars for a long time.

    14:35 he couldn't do what you suggested; they said they wouldn't let him out of the containment area unless Calvin was locked in a container. Backing out of the room was not an option for him; containment is why he was locked in there with Calvin to begin with. The only controls to open the door are on the other side.

    I think the biggest science plot hole is that (I assume) it would take a lot more energy than it had available when small to grasp things tightly. It's also just not clear that there's any real way to convert 100% of food to new cells. But I do love the idea of a solid mass of identical cells. The worst impact an attacker could do to it is kill some cells and they'd just immediately be ejected by the thing or eaten.
