One of the biggest conundrums I ponder on is "how to best space diseases?" This movie tells well of what doom life in space may bring us, or us to it.
It's not a fast action gun shooting zombie survival horror, but it's very good given the scenario. A crew of Mars explorers are ready to go home, when they discover life and it starts turning them into zombies. And not just any zombies – smart zombies. No weapons, regular scientists, limited life-support, no chance for help.
The effects of the disease are poorly established, but that can be left to the suspension of disbelief. I do have to say, the amount of "You guys are acting weird and been out for too long, but I will open the doors for you no problem" is too much in this movie. The ending becomes more and more predictable to the end and in some parts it drags on, but other than "it can be shorter" it's OK.
The actors do a good job, the scenario is relevant, there are flaws, but overall it's worth a watch to see something smart. I enjoyed it more than "Gravity". If you liked this, might as well go watch a similar movie released this year "Europa Report".
