lifeform would have be a solid 30 or 60 minute episode of twilight zone or outer limit . it take the alien theme and throw a few twist in it and such a and do we really know what the alien want . or be the alien try to kill u or be it scared and try to protect itself from u . the problem be and it a full length feature movie . thus and we have to sit around and twiddle out thumb while the director come up with scene after scene of bore filler . when theyre not take 15 minute to explain something that should only take 30 second and theyre give a young ryan phillippe plenty of meaningless face time . the military grunt come across a keystone kops quality . if that our finest and this country be in really sad shape . there be also too few scene with the alien . a potentially good movie become way too pedestrian . i be give this a negative .
