Also, regarding the ending:
I didn't see it as Calvin keeping Jake trapped so that people would open the pod (they would've opened it no matter what), but that it was changing its structure to survive entry into a different atmosphere and ecosystem.
They seemed to imply it changed its structure for survival purposes.

I really enjoyed the movie.
That's a great hypothetical that actually makes the ending better.
if you come across a space pod with some astronaut covered in goo, maybe its best to not open it? but then again if the scientists are dumb as fuck, im guessing the local fisherman must be neanderthal level of common sense.

I liked it. I'm not saying OP isn't right that the people involved are all fucking idiots, but despite that it was fun watching them all pay for their idiocy.

I thought Eddie Murphy gave a decent performance. Martin Lawrence was pretty good, it was your typical Martin Lawrence performance. They had some pretty good chemistry on screen. You gotta love the "Cornbread" scene

Just saw this last night. I thought it was alright, but I'm surprised there aren't more complaints about Calvin's design. Some other posters have already brought it up, but it was established that ALL of Calvin's cells function as muscles, eyes, and nerves simultaneously. But then halfway through the movie, the alien has a head and defined appendages for whatever reason.
It was a solid enough movie, some very tense and creative scenes (Ryan's death particularly). I had no expectations going in, was engaged throughout and left pretty happy I had seen it. Complete opposite of Prometheus and Covenant, which were pathetic and made me angry at everyone involved.

I thought it was a totally average "bad things happen in space" movie. The crew make stupid choices and the monster is basically magic but I was entertained for two hours. I did enjoy
seeing Ryan Reynolds pay the price for being a total moron and die early.

Mediocre movie ruined by its ending.
The ending was perfect. All humans deserve to die when the cream of the crop NASA and other space agencies put in space are so fucking stupid.

Just saw this the other day. Was surprised how much I enjoyed it.
Thought the alien was super cool, and the CGI for it (and in general) was surprisingly well done. Yeah every character was stupid as fuck, but thats alright, I was entertained.

Ryan Reynolds death surprised me (which was probably the intention) and boy oh boy was that ending fucking evil.
She was trying to save herself until the very last moments when she was too oxygen deprived, disoriented, and weak to do anything else but turn a lever and then drift into space.
Character development wasn't the movie's strong point but he wasn't a more developed character than Gyllenhaal's
This was directly mentioned in the movie but it took out the communications array, indirectly, because it was hunting for coolant which it identified as a food source. It deprived the comms array of coolant which caused it to overheat and malfunction.
I thought he saw it too the first time I watched the movie but on the rewatch it doesn't actually confirm that. He just gets lightheaded and passes out while waxing philosophical.

I saw this movie and I thought it was alright but I was kinda disappointed that it really just ended up as a slasher-monster movie with a space theme.

Saw the ending coming as soon as they talked about escaping. I enjoyed it, there was relatively no character development or anything of the sort but I enjoyed it as mindless turn off your brain type entertainment.
