Plot
In the near future, Astronauts (Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, Ryan Reynolds) aboard the International Space Station are on the cutting edge of one of the most important discoveries in human history: the first evidence of extraterrestrial life on Mars. As members of the crew conduct their research, the rapidly evolving life-form proves far more intelligent and terrifying than anyone could have imagined.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Like rest of Alien rip-off, this movie is very unoriginal story and overly similar to Sci-Fi films like Alien, and mh:greatestmovies:Gravity, In addition, it's also overly similar to Alien: Covenant, which was released two months before Covenant was released. What's more, the movie ends up being Alien meets Gravity, which is horrible at sounds due to a ludicrous plotline with underdeveloped characters and subplots that absolutely goes nowhere at all.
 * 2) The creature also rip-off Alien creatures, facehuggers.
 * 3) David and most of the characters are pretty unlikeable in this film, and rarely get any character development because of it.
 * 4) The film is boring, as it almost lacks the scares, is almost nothing is scary at all.
 * 5) It still got criticized by many over scientific inaccuracies.
 * 6) The title even ripped off the Alien title, because the fact the title was with spacing the letters like Alien did.
 * 7) The ending is just abysmal, leaving nothing but a sequel bait. To put it briefly, the two space pods were separate, and ripped off the clips from Gravity, and David's pod splashed down into Vietnam seas (the location was Ha Long Bay), And what happens next? When the Vietnamese discovered David, which he is now restrained by Calvin, Miranda's pod's navigation system fails due to damage sustained from the debris, sending her flying away from Earth out of control, much to her horror, despite David's attempts to warn them, the fishermen open the pod's hatch, as more boats arrive on the scene, in fact, it would have been a sequel baiting.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The acting is decent, but this didn't save the movie.
 * 2) The screenplay is good.
 * 3) Much like mh:greatestmovies:Gravity, the movie has beautiful visual effects and extremely realistic and convincing, as it was all converted into 3D. Overall, it's CGI and 3D done right.
 * 4) Wonderful soundtrack by Jon Ekstrand.
