I'm open to this but I have a problem with it. From wikipedia:
In the original, the thing could take over multiple hosts at the same time. It's separated parts could act independently. It's cells could take over a host and imitate it. Why change that?Quote:
When an experiment frees the alien from its frozen prison, Kate joins the crew's pilot, Carter, to keep it from killing and imitating them one at a time, using its uncanny ability to mimic any life form it absorbs through digestion, and potentially reaching civilization.
