A group of researchers with international spacecraft discovers life on Mars. They have no idea what the event would entail their discovery.

The film “Alive” appeared, we can say, out of nowhere. We didn’t manage to watch the trailer as needed immediately to go to the cinema – so fast the picture was thrown in the car. If someone did not read the previous news “Zone of terror”, then repeat – it happened due to the fact that “Paramount pictures” afraid to compete with the “pirates of the Caribbean: Dead men tell no tales” and “Alien: Covenant.” Especially logically came out with the “other…”, as a temper xenomorph through from each scene of the trailer. Again, carnivorous organism. Again would-be astronauts and space, where no one can hear you scream. Hence the question arises – did we end up with something new?

Well, try to understand.

Let’s start with the fact that tailless domestic abstract, completely kills the “international space ship” the main feature of the story – the action takes place on the ISS. Yes, on the ISS, which flies over your heads at exactly the moment when you read these lines. No notorious hyperspace ships, nameless grey corridor with sliding doors – station present, and it is evident to anyone who has ever watched a video from the channel “Roscosmos”. This is the first that stays in your heart: details of the modules and compartments, familiar names “dawn” and “Kibo”, and even – well, here and hardened Feng cosmowarrior will not hold back the tears – Russian letters on the divisions of the engines sensors. Yes, it’s real. And it damn well involves in the story, bringing the film into the category of solid space fiction, where, hand on heart, the number of works can be counted on the fingers.

The potential we have before us one of the most powerful and authentic films on the space theme. The hard sci-Fi, which, unfortunately, did not “Martian”.

The second pleasant discovery becomes biology Kelvin – the hostile Martian organism. Thing like she crawled out of books , Peter watts , and perhaps it is no coincidence that borrows signature features Wactawski monsters: the simplest creatures focused on survival and absorption, which makes them more dangerous pumped civilizations the same “independence Day.” Watts derived a formula of new monsters – creatures who do not need to think and be tactical superiority, their very existence is a threat to all thinking creatures. They are like a fungus popping up everywhere and reproduce quickly, as that is the very meaning of their existence.

All this, coupled with the “real” station creates incredible kinetic atmosphere of despair and fear. Since this thing was close to no escape.

What we can repeatedly see in the course of viewing.

Unfortunately, these two wonderful ideas everything good in the picture ends. The first blow arrives crazed logic of history, in which six astronauts behave somewhere at the level of the children in the sandbox. Yes, of course, we will burn everything around plasma fire-place, in the end, it’s cosmos that could happen? Then at the station is sure to trigger the fire alarm, spraying in all directions water. Water, Carl! In a metal coffin full of high-tech electronics!

And this, incidentally, is not the wild that can be observed.

Of special note is the crew. Attempt to fasten each astronaut drama backfired: there is a strong feeling that they gained in the nearest nuthouse. All in a row epic internal conflicts, which seem to be incurable any provision of the Charter, and – of course – it is necessary long and to talk a lot throughout the duration. In the end, the only creature who pity the movie is a lab rat. She definitely died for nothing. Although, on the other hand, when one of the ladies of the crew with the most serious expression said: “Calvin, that learned to breathe in space?”, a lot falls into place.

Yes, indeed, these guys never have to outwit the raging cosmic cabbage.

However, all technical issues can be attributed to postulate “it’s just a movie”. Yes, we have water alarms, antiherpetic nozzles and creatures who can breathe in space but somehow die in obestochennye modules of the station. But what can be attributed to technique – this is a ridiculous attempt to defeat the monster methods that are a no-brainer, no good.

Despite the serious leaks in the story and very controversial philosophical aspects from the lips of inadequate characters, the film is solidly made and beautiful. In principle, this is enough to see it on the big screen with a good sound. It has fresh ideas, the atmosphere is “right” cosmowarrior and a great finale, which reserves the right to franchise, which could be a worthy modern answer to “Alien”. Of course, if someone thought to invite the writers Peter watts.

Verdict: 6 out of 10, a good genre movie with a potentially strong continuation.
