This space thriller stars Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal. A
group of scientists on the International Space Station send a probe to
Mars and it comes back with a sample including a single celled organism
that they decide to try to bring to life. After performing some
experiments on it it does in fact come to life and seems friendly,
however something goes wrong with the chamber it’s held in and it stops
moving. To bring it back to life one of the scientists decides to shock
it and it doesn’t take too kindly to it. Suddenly its mission is to kill
all aboard so the movie follows their hope for survival while trying to
keep the station from entering earth’s atmosphere and bringing the
creature into our world. This movie was terrifying and disgusting. It
has a very slow start so you have to stick with it, but once the
creature starts killing people and gets bigger and bigger after each
kill the scenes get more intense.
