Spoiler: AstroNOT was slow and boring which is something to say especially seeing the cast. The theme didn't match the trailers. Why was this plot not at least 50% in space? I mean, she's an astronaut. Moreover, the plot was so complicated when it really didn't need to be. The elements weren't building to the point where you are shocked, it's almost as though the writers were lazy. Sam was dumb for an astronaut throughout the whole movie and not to mention selfish as she seemed like she didn't even care for her family. This movie was a feminist push at best to switch roles because how many times have we seen movies that are exactly like this but with the husband being an alien. Omg just find something else to watch.

Leslie Nielsen and Liam Neeson gotta be related because this movie was perfection.

They had me in the first 30 mins with the persistence of the main character vs unforgiving nature but then it trailed into into confusion. The main character made horrible decisions throughout, I guess it was an attempt to add suspense but it only irritated me. The mystery of the person on the radio revealed at the end was a huge waste of climax. It made no sense! Oh and the mineral she found, I failed to see the point in it. The only thing, I would say, that carried this movie was the majestic premise. Everything else was just messy.

Solid movie. They need more movies like this in today's world.

Brilliant, well-written movie that could give today's Hollywood scriptwriters a run for their money.

The humour fell flat for me. I watched it with a straight face and tried to like it but I just couldn't get into it. The concept and plot was good but the jokes and scripts was corny.

Booooooooo...someone hire The Rock to be the captain. (Doom reference) or bring Ripley back. There's literally no captain. I forgot the show is taking a different route. Anyways... SPOILER ALERT The first episode had me yawning. It's 98% talking. Why on earth do we have to see the characters' cheesy flashbacks? You don't see Ellen Ripley or Reese having their flashbacks. You know why? Because it's strictly survival. This is horror sci-fi action not a drama. Besides the annoying obsession with kids filling prequels, I had so many questions throughout the first episode. Why is the show referring to the Syncs as Cyborgs? Why do we care to see the different rollouts of them like the show is about them? (David already made that lasting impression in Prometheus so let's move on.) Why do the S+R team and hybrid syncs look like a bunch of scrawny and unhealthy models? They might as well hire former WWE wrestlers to look like GI Joes/Janes or get some actual good action actors and stuntmen to play the operatives or robots (mind as well call hybrid syncs robots because of the variety). I'm a big fan of Aliens franchise and even the comics and I can tell you that operatives are supposed to look hard, go in with real fear and caution, and guns blazing. The scientist are supposed to seem sinister, not some annoying rich kid sitting on his high horse. None of the science has been explained so far so I'm assuming we as viewers know what's going on. Lastly, the first and second episode was missing that militarized intensity and drive. The Drone was lacking specialized hunting skills too like why was it able to rip people into pieces in under a minute but can't even injure the brother? Why did the cyborg on board the ship seem so dry to me? He has zero charm. At least Asher, Bishop and David fooled you into trusting them and not trusting them. The black pudgy model did not seem like a good fit for a synthetic. They could have gave this brother a better cut. His hair was wafting and his demeanor was "I need a treadmill." How dare they do him like that? Even a Mr. T cut would have sufficed. Fresh Price of Bel Air cut would have made it more realistic. The Predator dreads on this man would make me delete this comment. Ok one more last thing...the annoying cat scene....What kind of cheap CGI was that thing? Giger would be disappointed.

It started out intense. Teletubbies, I like the intensity of the parents and kids getting their fair share of the massacre, POV of a scared shitless kid fleeing to church...then it shifts to a different kid. A different POV. I didn't mind the whole father son duo where they go hunting in the mainland, but I hated that the plot started to drag and get boring. The fatso zombies as a new kind of zombies and the alpha need to get out of 28 days series. Also the preggo woman giving birth to the healthy baby is ridiculous and ambiguous. I'm not even sure why Spike's mother is so specific to the shrinking plot and I'm also not sure why the doctor had too much of a role than the first Jimmy kid. Here's where I would have picked up the plot...1) father or son gets bit while on their hunt, hides it or doesn't notice it 2) villagers let's them back in after passing their piss poor test 3) son or dad infects the village unknowingly as a carrier 4) village protocols continue to fail 5) son or dad flags a ship 6) seizes the ship 7) sails past the quarantine borders 8) world wide infection 9) cure still not established while monkeys start to wreck havoc as it spreads to zoos 10) 28 hours later the carrier dies and the series is left in its usual sombre cliffhanger where we await the next movie. Instead, Danny Boyle decides to go with some wannabe ninjas, a cry baby kid, a selfish mother who suspected she herself has cancer ALL ALONG, a pointless NPC named Jimmy, 50 Neanderthal wieners flapping about, and a doctor who's bored to death with his life.

I just raw dogged this movie without snacks and my phone, I wish this wasn't torture but it was.

What is so scary about a Hispanic Dane Cook? What is his this guy's deal? He wants the main character to leave but doesn't let her leave like cmon. Why doesn't this realtor have any common sense or upper body strength for that matter. Devine intervention saved her from being at the bottom of the elevator with a boo boo. I have more to say but I will hold onto it for now.
