The Moment: The team of astronauts come into contact with at least one alien creature that isn't too happy about their presence.

Why It Will Define 2017: Last year's 10 Cloverfield Lane did a fantastic job proving the worthiness of a loosely-linked anthology franchise of films related to the original 2008 found footage sci-fi flick, and by going into space, God Particle absolutely represents an ambitious attempt to up the scale.

Whether the abandoned space shuttle the crew discovers simply contains the monsters or, as many fans have speculated, the film's events cause a satellite to be knocked out of the sky, which then lands in the ocean and wakes up the Cloverfield monster (as seen at the end of the original movie), the eventual link to the first film's events are sure to be fascinating.
