It’s life, Jim, but not unlike what we already know. Life feels like an ordinary science fiction movie, relying on special effects and typical sci-fi elements to carry it through. The storyline is completely predictable. It's probably unjust to compare a film like this to the standard set by Ridley Scott's Alien (1979), but the level of familiarity displayed here borders on being inappropriate. A team of space travelers finds an alien creature, and after the initial amazement wears off, things quickly deteriorate, creating a possible danger for all of humanity. That’s essentially what happens; the actors seem to be going through the motions of performing in a play where they are systematically eliminated by some sort of alien manta ray-like being. The usual plot devices take over, prompting questions like: who will be next? Will anyone make it out alive? and so on. In keeping with the unoriginal nature of the film, there’s even a scene reminiscent of Deep Blue Sea, and Hiroyuki Sanada appears to have stepped in from Sunshine's Icarrus II to appear aboard the International Space Station. The conclusion will likely frustrate many viewers, but I found it quite enjoyable; it has an atmosphere similar to The Twilight Zone, which elevates the movie just above mediocrity. I can’t wholeheartedly recommend it, particularly for science fiction enthusiasts who are bothered by scientific inaccuracies and logical inconsistencies. More casual fans of the genre would be better served by something as brilliant as Alien or a more entertaining and straightforward film like Leviathan (1989). Nevertheless, it provides an adequate distraction. 6/10
