As far as "intelligent", well designed, practical effect sci fi goes I thought this was barely on par with say Species 2.

It's hard to believe until you see it but the trailer is literally a small clip taken from each scene in the movie and linked together. If you've seen the trailer you've literally seen the whole movie. I've gone over it in my head and apart from the creatures (which were shown in the later trailers) there isn't a single scene missing from the original trailer.
And re. being a troll. Maybe take a look back through my previous movie posts and see if I haven't given some good explanations for why I dislike movies and if it isn't framed within a bigger appreciation of movies.
I didn't compare this to Species because it had better ideas, better pacing and better design. Also note that I chose those three specific (intelligent, well designed, practical effects) because I considered them the main draw seeing this (like Alien/Blade Runner). I also considered that many other people would and understand that sort of comparison.
