Sputnik (2020) is a strong pivot from Nicole. I enjoyed the twists and turns of this story. I also liked how Tatyanna’s risky behavior is explained in the beginning so any reckless decisions she made afterward makes sense, she’s not just opening the sealed door to make the story go forward, her personality is “high risk high reward.” I enjoyed the alien design too, everytime you see it it looks different. Like the zenomorph from Alien and other alien movie creatures, I can’t think of where the shit would take on the traits of stuff it ate. Maybe I was also thinking of the new Twilight Zone episode with the octopus. Every time it killed someone it was nuts!! The acting was also something to note, I think they all did what needed to be done. Overall I enjoyed it and how roles flipped, the colonel is the bad guy and the alien/human is the good guy. But a bit anticlimactic since the alien/human die and the lady just goes to pick up the dudes son. I don’t see a need for the alien/human to die. Maybe I’m stuck on The Girl With All the Gifts and Prometheus regarding human beings being taken out to be replaced by a new species. It could be seen as depressing but in the end it’s the way of life.

I rate this a 9, I was on the edge of my seat when every little revelation was introduced, and the alien design was mad cool. I’d be interested in a part 2, following Tatyanna or some other sequel/ prequel a-la The Thing. But sequels, huh? Are never promised.
