Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: If you count yourself among fans of survival stories and anyone who enjoys a good scare, this one's for you. The tension comes from simply getting through the next day. Same wavelength as The Thing or The Fly.
The mood: Scary.
The pace: Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 12 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off: Rated R: meant for adults.
Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.

On the planet Phaebon, a controlled research facility had been thought to be safe... until a breach unleashes alien terrors unknown.
