This is a hard R film btw This film is about a group of scientists who go out into space and discover life on Mars. They bring the creature inside the ISS and it turns out this creature isn’t as harmless as they thought it would be. The entire crew’s life is in danger and the rest of the film is about their survival. A scene that stood out to me the most was the very first death in the film of Ryan Reynolds. This really set the tone of the film and lets the audience know they need a high pain tolerance of other people’s pain, for example someone literally dying before their eyes. Basically, Calvin, the not-so-nice creature from Mars, attacks Reynolds. You can see the pain in his eyes, knowing this moment will be when he dies, and everyone else on the outside of the glass doors can’t do anything about it, all you hear is the screaming of them and the horror in their eyes. Calvin, crawls up to Reynolds’ face and goes into his mouth. This is when it gets gross and hard to watch. Reynolds chokes and tries to finger Calvin out of his mouth, but his eyes go black, and his face turns red/purple, and the others just watch helplessly. Throughout his chest and his throat, you can see Calvin’s body move along and destroy his insides. Finally when the scene comes to an end, it’s just goopy blood coming from Reynolds’ mouth and floating up to the ceiling. Again, as the audience you feel pain and hatred. Pain because this was the hardest scene to watch in the whole film. And hatred because you want to go in that movie and kill Calvin yourself. The animation for Calvin was amazing, totally surreal. This movie was amazing. Definitely not for everyone, but it was totally awesome. I am not a big sci-fi or space movie kind of person but this really blew me away. This totally took a toll on every audience member out there, every scene was thrilling and suspenseful. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time nervously awaiting for what Calvin and the crew’s next move would be. Some would argue that this was predictable, but I didn’t think so at all, except maybe for the very end. This is a must see, but if you’re the squeamish kind, DO NOT WATCH. (Also lets stop trying to find life in Mars because this was very scarring).
