The International Space Station, with a crew of six onboard, pick up a space probe which carries extraterrestrial life from Mars. While the crew members study the organism, they throw a Re-Animator (1985) reference, but for some odd reason they haven't seen Alien, which would have explained everything that is about to unfold. This science fiction movie offers good performances, impressive visuals, and a screenplay so unoriginal that it's embarrassing. Even in this context, Ryan Reynolds manages to play the same wisecracking character he always does.
