Could have been so much more (no spoilers)

I’m 20 minutes I’m but maybe I won’t finish it now.

I saw the trailers and thought this was gonna be another Science gone wrong Horror movie like The Fly or Hollow Man.
It did not deliver.

Son, I'm disappoint.

I dunno.... I mean yes, the idea of changing us vs changing the planet is interesting, but it seems likely that it would be easier to transform us to survive here rather than go on a desolate moon elsewhere.
In fact, the whole 'crisis' on earth was poorly described. Overpopulation, yes, but hell, decreasing our numbers ain't that hard - just go all Stallin and take out the old people. Even that is way easier than 'evolving' and going to again, a moon which doesn't have much growing on it. Or if you wanted him to live underwater on titan, then surely we got a lot more water? So what exactly was the problem on earth? We were shown mountains, rivers - the whole works - other than a few soldiers saying how earth is done for, there was absolutely no indication that there were any issues on earth - visually speaking.

So what we got was a poorly explained crisis - and a horribly made 'solution'. I mean, those soldiers weren't human anymore - you might as well send a monkey to Titan and say that they'll be the humanity's future. The fact is, Neil Tyson was right - planet Earth, even in its most inhospitable state, is by far better than any of the planets or moons in our solar system.



Spoiler:






The very ending bit was lame - soldiers turned on the mad scientist instead of the transformed soldier who has probably killed hundreds of soldiers by that point? Not likely.

I can't believe how they wasted such a good concept. They could start the story with a lizard people lived happily and lonely on the Titan for a decade. And then a spaceship captured it and sent it back to the earth. Then scientists tried changing it back step by step. In the end, Human Sam Worthington reunited with his family. How hard would that be?
Changing life form to adapt the planet is nothing new. We already saw that on the alien played by Keanu in the movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still". One step forward of the idea is: if we can do it once, why can't we do it again and again - go to the titan, back to the earth, go to any new planet we want...

Indeed a very interesting concept but a failure in the end.
