No sequels!

See, if they did that, the next movie would only have the creature wipe out SOME of humanity, but the Earth heros would find a way to neutralize it before it wiped ALL of Earth out . . . but the Calvin creature would not really be dead, only dormant (like any standard horror movie).

So that would be "Life II".

But then there would be a Life III, and IV, and V, and . . . you get the point.

(Like the Jason Voorhees movies).

And who wants THAT?!!!

(I guess maybe someone, because they did make all those Jason movies, after all).

a sequel? i didn't even want this one!

BarkingBaphomet--

Amen.

I paid money to see this film in the theater, but was disappointed. If I'd known it was going to be nothing more than an SF horror, I would've passed.

Just for a fun guess, Calvinwould have to adapt to virus, bacteria & mould. Remember that ISS, etc are very sterile places.

Plus with Earth's gravity afffecting the pod, the alien quickly adjusted by building a web. Thus it might not be as mobile as in outer space.

Finally, Calvin reacted adversely to electricity more than other stimulants. Earth has a strong magnetic field (with iron-rich layers, etc), & with constant EM communications, who knows how it woulda affect Calvin.

Realistically there won't be a sequel, but we can only dream... :)

I liked this movie... It was fun

A sequel would ruin this movie's ending, robbing the film itself of any meaning... It's better not to know... To not have things explained is better.

I will have to crowdsource the sequel... To right the wrongs, to turkey-slap the naysayers, to gag the critics, & to breathe new life into awesome Calvin!
