It's not often that one will find me watching a movie based primarily on the idea of aliens, seeing as often movies of such an idea more humor me than anything. However, I have to applaud the makers of this movie for having made me jump a couple of times thus far.
For example, when they're looking for the alien that had separated itself from the man's face, it falls unexpectedly from the ceiling onto the woman below. Thinking the alien is falling in order to attack, I was surprised to see that instead it was dead. Another example is when another man is looking for the cat on the lower deck of the ship. In this instance, he comes into contact with a full-grown, deadly alien that then kills him. My point is, the movie isn't too disappointing as far as the suspense factor really goes.
Moving on, I find the story-line thus far to be interesting. I find the plot to not do so much as bore me. There's often twists, shocks, anticipating moments in order to keep the viewer entertained. I value highly the way the cameras move so rhythmically and slowly in order to add to suspense. I admire the way the lighting adds to the eerie thought that there is this unknown being in their presence. It adds to the mystery.
I find as an observation to both this movie and even hundreds of others, that when people are to be killed, if there is one character to live, it is almost always the most innocent character. With that being said, it's usually a female, often blond haired, light eyed, in order to hint at the idea of a "perfect person," or even a Christ-like figure if you will. I'm interested to see how that plays out, and if anyone survives.
