I would watch a 90 minute movie of just the first half of the trailer- a montage of astronauts having fun, teasing each other, and doing some slightly futuristic high-risk maneuvers set to classic rock. Now, I'm not a naysayer and I don't mean to come off as negative as I'm about to, because I still want to see this movie, but then they introduce a monster and it kind of kills it. That's when I go "Ah, I've seen this before." At the very least the trailer should have been more careful. It asks "What would we do if this really happened?" And they do it in steps. "What might space travel actually look like in the day in the life?" Yeah, I want to see that. "What would we do if we found life in space?" Pretty cool, I'm interested. "What would we do if we found out it was actively threatening?" Still pretty cool, makes you run possibilities through your head. And then they show that it's a monster let loose on a space ship and it becomes a Sci-fI horror. I know there are huge fans of that genre, but the trailer does a lot to set up- not that. That's the moment I'm not curious anymore, because I've seen that movie. They're good movies, and I want to see this one, but as far as the trailer goes, I think they could have kept up the curiosity a little longer.
Yes, exactly. That's why I said above that I'm not convinced I like the grown creature, in the third act the movie seems to turn into "Octalus 2: In space!", and I'm afraid that this might kill it. If at least it would have kept some of the suspense like in Alien. We'll see, we'll see.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
