Headscratchers / Life (2017)

• When Hugh is inspecting Calvin in the lab the second time, he remarks that all of its cells are muscle cells, neurons, and photoreceptive cells at the same time. However, in later scenes featuring Calvin, such the scene where it kills Rory, structures like blood vessels, or perhaps nerves, are visible in its translucent body. If all of its cells are the same type, then how is this possible?
• The film basically runs on a long string of questionable decisions, but worst of all are the Vietnamese fishermen in the final scenes. A space capsule drops out of the sky with a bloodied, frantic man inside who's completely webbed up in some strange gooey substance and screaming at the men in obvious desperation. Do they turn around on the spot and run/swim/drive like hell? Of course not, they proceed to open the hatch and thus probably doom every living thing on Earth. As commendable as helpfulness may be, common sense can't get violated much harder than this.
  • They don't speak his language so he could just as easily be screaming out of pain and fear. And seeing as "strange gooey substance" isn't something that in the experience of a Vietnamese fisherman would be a threat, why would they run away? It's more likely to be some kind of shock-absorbing stuff sprayed around the pod before a crashlanding than "killer muscle goo from Mars".
