Yeah i’m with the majority here. If only the rest of the film was as good as those 5 minutes.
Not a fan of remaking every thing but a remake of this could be amazing. Obviously needs to be practical as well.

55/100
"Space suits"
Movie started pretty strong and then slowed down considerably. Some of the alien scenes were pretty good and looked really cool. I wish they would have leaned more into what happened aboard the ship. Overall, a decent watch but nothing to write home about.
