Why did it fly so far under the radar? A sci-fi horror film starring people like Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, Ryan Reynolds, and Hiroyuki Sanada is not a common thing.
>>223587860Wasn't this full of retarded scientists? It's the bane of many sci fi films
All I know about this movie is that Gyllenhaal and Ferguson hated Ryan Reynolds so much that they can barely contain their anger even when interviewed
>>223587905can't blame them
>>223587860Probably because it's not that great
>>223587860i like it. dont care what everyone says
Serviceable but very unoriginal, and there's nothing deeper inside.
>>223587905link
Really shitty movie
where the fuck is the sequel?
>>223588804Never got one written
>>223589192grok write sequel to mummy alien movie,make no mistakes
>>223587885Yes there were way too many things that went wrong due to purely idiotic and unsafe decisions they made. People dying because no one has a brain gets a bit dull.
>>223587860I really enjoyed it going into it with NO expectations. It's a fun horror-sci fi-slop. Don't expect everyone to 5D the CGI fake alien that doesn't exist with the space project that doesn't exist with technology that doesn't exist :rolleyes:
>>223587860Movie would have made an extra $50 million had it had a graphic scene of Rebecca Ferguson getting tentacle raped by the alien in all her holes
the only good thing about this shit is the scientists deaths specially ryan and fergursons
>>223590006Ryan Reynolds's death is iconic. Very tense scene.
>>223587860Weird marketing, which was the best thing about it.They didn’t give the game away that it was a nasty, mean-spirited horror film which was a brilliant move for the people who bothered to see it. Problem is, it wasn’t obvious what it actually was for people who didn’t. Just a vague space movie with Ryan Reynolds
>>223588804Did you watch the film? There can literally not be a sequel
>>223588804it's called Venom
>>223587860Dumb as fuck ending that relied on shock value rather than basic orbital mechanics, if the orbit of the ISS failed and it was going to enter the atmosphere, then the chicks escape pod wouldn't just magically fly off into space as it would be in the same orbit as the ISS because it launched from there, meaning it would still end up getting back to Earth
>>223587860Calvin was a mary sue
>>223587860The only thing interesting about it was the twist ending.
>>223587860Because it's not very good. It's a cool creature design with two competent scenes (the arm break and Reynolds getting glurked) but it's hampered by the fact that an entire crew full of scientists make consistently retarded decisions for the whole fucking movie.Horror is at its best when people do increasingly smart or daring things to deal with a threat which responds with increasingly smart or dangerous reactions. The scientists spend half the movie going out of there way to put themselves into situations where they're easy pickings instead of getting out of danger only for Calvin to react by escalating the threat.
>>223590513Do you seriously think that General audiences care more about orbital mechanics than shock value
>>223590727They should!
>>223590855Touché
>>223590727While I do not think they care, It goes to Op's questionIt's not a good movie if it relies on shock value alone for it's endingAs a sci fi fan, It's just there, 5/10If you add up stupid scientists, and shock value ending undermining what little can be saved about the stupid scientist, you can't give it more than that
>>223587860bc Ryan Reynolds was there too long. Should've been like Seagal in Executive Decision (1996) -- squashed in the first act: >"Now you see me; NOPE."
>>223587860Hacky but the final scene is great. Could've set up for a much better film of deep sea creature feature.
it was good. 7/10
>>223587860Because it's less than the sum of its parts. Someone who likes the genre probably watched it once and never returned to it.
>>223587860the ending felt mean-spirited
It didn't "fly under the radar". This movie just sucks ass.
>>223588008I was okay with that tho. If I remember correctly, at the time, there wasn't a whole lot of scifi in theatres.
I loved this movie, you are all partypoopers
The alien was so broken that it could somehow squeeze through airtight holes in the ship while in the vaccuum of space.
>>223588804resident evil this year is the sequel basically >>223590275the new resident evil works more
The way the creature absorbs the mouse is hauntingAnd its kinetic bashing of the Russian astronauts, brutal
>>223587860Fuck. One of the few movies that made me feel even a slight amount of horror.
>>223587860it was a good movieany recommendations for similar ones?
