Thoughts on - Life (no spoilers)

Hi all,
          This weekend I saw the sci-fi / horror picture "Life". The plot is this, life on mars has been confirmed (finally) and a sample return mission has been sent back to the ISS and the astronauts to study.
        Basically, its another "nice picture forget the actual science" films. Very nice sets, with plenty of detail, reasonable plot and script. The alien development and design was plausible.  Slightly corny in spots, but that was to be expected. It felt like a cross between Gravity and a tame Alien. I did feel the start of the film had been chopped about a bit in the editing process. Another point was that when they had problems, they went bad very quickly, but I suppose that was the way scriptwriters do it to ramp up the tension.

(Micro spoiler alert)---------
For instance, the alien gets smart, very quickly, without any prior experience of science,electronics, etc it does all sorts of stuff, not plausible.
--------------------------------

One day we may be facing this possibility for real, so I hope they do a better job. I'm wondering if when they cracked the hatch on Apollo 11 we might have been contaminated then. I know that the astronauts wore sealed outfits before they got into the quarantine unit, but would like to have another look at how the capsule itself was treated. The moon samples were in sealed containers.

So, if you are walking in the National Air And  Space Museum and you see something green and frothy dribbling out of the hatch, run for the hills.

Worth going to see, just to get "what if" thoughts going on in your head.

Rating - 7 out of 10.
