It's a mixed bag with some great ideas, great practical effects, strange ADR, Pacing variations, and a stretched timeframe. Characters aren't terrible. Some do 180's for plot convenience.
It has some great body horror inspired by movies like The Thing, Society, Event Horizon, and Alien.
It's not the best nor the worst. For pacing and ADR issues, the premise and horror make up for it... though it kept going a little too long.
I wish this movie was getting more love and discussion. The atmosphere is just dreadful, and the creature is a thing of pure nightmare. As you mentioned, it does seem to stall a bit here and there. The soundtrack is available on Apple music and is excellent.
shareThe ADR was horrible though. Was everyone dubbed or only certain characters? Some of them seemed ok sometimes and not ok at others. Were they all speaking English when filming or some in Russian?

I watched the dubbed version of this a few months ago, but from what I can recall, both languages were spoken.
