My reaction
Concept:2/4 (Indifferent)
Story:1/4 (Bad) Sorry, but you forgot the scene in which it is explained how they know that pressure changes are deadly to beings of pure energy...
Characters:1/4 (Bad) Chicks dig patronizing harassment from their bosses.
Dialog:1/4 (Bad)
Pacing:2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography:2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design:4/4 (Great) The alien voice is pretty cool.
Acting:2/4 (Indifferent)

Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, 2/4 (Indifferent)). It might have been good, if only they'd figured out some way for it to make any sense.
Objective Rating (Average):2.1/4 (Okay)
