Everything is familiar in Life since we've already seen this concept masterfully being developed back in 1979. Alien is the guide. And of course no one has ever touched its greatness.Life is no exception.

Still I really enjoyed it because Daniel Espinosa does a great job in direction creating a claustrophobic, nightmarish atmosphere and, assisted by the functional editing and the ominous music score, setting at least 3 great scenes.

The screenplay doesn't offer a real character development and even the dialogues are problematic but it dares to take some serious risks, promising the biggest one at the ending which is the most daring since The Mist.

6,5/10.
