Review of Life (2017)

By Noah Gittell (113) for Washington City Paper (500) on 24 Mar 2017

This is a B-movie not an epic... It only wants to thrill you, not impress you or challenge your worldview…

Review of Life (2017)

By Michael Smith (475) for Tulsa World (603) on 24 Mar 2017

There's not much that's original about Life -- almost nothing -- but there is some fun to be had in wondering whether a trip to Mars is worth…

Review of Life (2017)

By Ilanit Chernick (1) for Independent Online (South Africa) (258) on 24 Mar 2017

It's Alien for a new generation; from the get-go it has that same air about it, a feeling of fear and foreboding, with the opening score setting…

Review of Life (2017)

By Todd Jorgenson (1,852) for Cinemalogue.com (1,236) on 24 Mar 2017

It's pretty derivative stuff that manages to rise above the fray thanks to some credible performances, visual flourishes, and an attention…

Review of Life (2017)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for Blu-ray.com (2,093) on 24 Mar 2017

After such a haunting opening half that highlights amazing cinematography, CGI, and frenzied acting, Life eventually becomes a bit ponderous,…

Review of Life (2017)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 24 Mar 2017

Given the fact that Life was co-written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who co-wrote the wacked-out “Zombieland” and “Deadpool,” the…

Review of Life (2017)

By Mike Mcgranaghan (1,821) for Aisle Seat (1,783) on 24 Mar 2017

Yes, it's a ripoff of Alien. And that's okay because it's a darn good ripoff…

Review of Life (2017)

By Roger Tennis (246) for Cinemaclips.com (246) on 24 Mar 2017

The thrilling and scary 'Life' won't be the death of this genre…

Review of Life (2017)

By Jeff Simon (157) for Buffalo News (278) on 24 Mar 2017

The movie will get to you quite nicely, especially at the end when it makes sure that your walk out to your car is jam-packed with stuff to…

Review of Life (2017)

By Teddy Durgin (233) for Screen It! (1,437) on 24 Mar 2017

Yes, Life is different from Alien in a few key ways. Enough, in fact, to give the film a mild recommendation…

Review of Life (2017)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for Screen International (2,241) on 23 Mar 2017

While the bracingly bleak climax will come as a surprise to pretty much nobody, it still comes with an efficiently grisly pay off…

Review of Life (2017)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 23 Mar 2017

For all its flashy trappings, weighty ruminations and zero-gravity floatings aboard the International Space Station, Life turns out to be another…

Review of Life (2017)

By Chris Bumbray (988) for JoBlo's Movie Emporium (1,959) on 23 Mar 2017

An abysmal ALIEN-clone with no genuine tension or scares. The talented cast is wasted…

Review of Life (2017)

By Rohan Naahar (197) for Hindustan Times (753) on 23 Mar 2017

The movie is, to put it plainly, like a mutated clone birthed in a secret government lab using smuggled Alien DNA…

Review of Life (2017)

By Gary Wolcott (857) for Tri-City Herald (818) on 23 Mar 2017

For a movie titled Life this one has very little of it. Pretty much the usual alien gobbling up humans in their order of importance to the plot…

Review of Life (2017)

By Daniel M. Kimmel (1,403) for New England Movies Weekly (716) on 23 Mar 2017

It's not terrible. It's just terribly unoriginal…

Review of Life (2017)

By Katherine Mclaughlin (276) for SciFiNow (378) on 23 Mar 2017

Life does deliver a heap of gag-inducing moments and manages to have some sneaky surprises up its sleeve despite its similarities to its genre…

Review of Life (2017)

By Jamie East (261) for The Sun (UK) (932) on 23 Mar 2017

We fully expect you to have a couple of jumps, followed by a mild case of anxiety, but not enough to justify the cast or budget…

Review of Life (2017)

By Tim Evans (725) for Sky Cinema (1,726) on 23 Mar 2017

While the shadow of Ridley Scott's 1979 classic hangs heavy, this has enough tricks up its sleeve to provide the necessary thrills in its own right…

Review of Life (2017)

By Brian Viner (589) for Daily Mail (UK) (1,461) on 23 Mar 2017

The notion of a menacing alien life-form at loose on a spaceship is almost heroically unoriginal, yet Daniel Espinosa's film, while not above…
