I did not know Billy Crudup was in this! :) (I just entered his name to see what kind of result I got on Steemit)
Haven't seen the film yet. The extent of familiarity is I already know a lot of the plot points (including the ending) as I had listened to Jacob Krueger talk about it in one of his podcast episodes.
One thing I did not expect after listening to that podcast episode...was the story engine subject matter for the entire Alien series was about assault.
Though from what you wrote...it does seem like you were (like Jacob) hopeful that there would be some sort of a home-run with this film.
