    • Trivia
      It was intended to have Ryan Reynolds play the main character. However, scheduling conflicts with The Hitman's Bodyguard (2017) forced him to take a supporting role instead.
    • Goofs
      In the opening scene, the view of outer space from the International Space Station shows twinkling stars. Stars do not actually twinkle in the way we see them, but the twinkling is an optical illusion of the light from stars being refracted by the earth's atmosphere.
    • Quotes

      David Jordan: Goodnight, nobody.

    • Crazy credits
      The music for the end titles begins with the song Spirit in the Sky. This was used during the live broadcast from the ill-fated Apollo XIII moon mission. A recreation of this broadcast, along with this song, was included in the film of the same name. The irony is intentional, as the song is about dying.

    Not as bad as people make it out to be.
    The internet is a funny place... it seems to be filled with people who have graduated with 5 Ph.Ds. and clearly seem to be smarter than everybody else (thousands of astronauts and astrophysicists on IMDb apparently). One star rating? Come on... Clearly, you haven't watched enough films to know decent from terrible.

    I watched this film without having heard of it (no trailers, spoilers or anything). I'm a sci-fi fan and thought this was a good watch.

    I found the characters to lack depth and their actions were questionable at times but the plot was believable and the acting decent. Special effects were good and made the movie believable in my opinion. The movie was well shot and I thought the scenes with the creature were pretty cool.

    I don't get how people even compare this movie to "Aliens"; it's nothing alike. Overall, I thought it was pretty good.

    FAQ1

    • Why do they keep the poor little rat tied up?The answers given make sense except that animal testing in space has not been occurring since the 1940s! That might have been a typo error. The 1950s is likely what was meant because the first man-made object ever sent into space was the Russian satellite, Sputnik, back in 1958.
