It looks like a remake of Alien, which is indeed a pointless act. I admired the first movie a lot, even if it is dated by now.
But even if I didn't, why re-animate a failing story? Or even a good one? We have already seen all that. With so many great stories that could be made into movie, why keep rehashing the old? I know of course that this is because the Laws of finance and economy proscribe this.
But still, we may hope that something like The Expanse will at least be a full TV series, if not a movie...
