Thought this was going to be more scifi-ish.. but looking more horror.

This movie seems like it could be REALLY good or REALLY bad, the idea is cool but the creature disturbs me :(

Reminds me os Spieces for some reason...
Ripley: Ash. Any suggestions from you or Mother?
Ash: No, we're still collating.
Ripley: [Laughing in disbelief] You're what? You're still collating? I find that hard to believe.

Just got back from seeing it. Despite what you might think from the trailer, the film is more sci-fi than horror.

The film was OK- not horrible, but not groundbreaking either. I'd put it about halfway between Species II and District 9.

The effects were good; there was only one scene that took me out of the film for a second. Other than that instance, I pretty much felt like I was watching actual events caught on film.

The premise was pretty good. At the beginning, I could almost identify with what the protagonists were up to & empathize with them. And then, about halfway through the film, I found myself thinking "you guys are on a path that will not end well. How'd you get here?"

The thing is, I can't pinpoint the moment at which the transition occurred.  :-\ I guess this goes to show how well the movie demonstrates the slipperiness of the slope of 'Cowboy-Science'. When exploring morally murky territory, I guess it's easy to get lost.

There were a few laugh out loud moments of dark humor that I won't mention for fear of spoiling the film. That, along with mostly good pacing, pretty decent acting and a few thought provoking themes make the film worth checking out, IMO.
