Review of Life (2017) by Rox22 — 04 Sep 2022

A bit of an interesting movie. It starts off as a rather interesting idea, but essentially turns quickly into a generic creature feature using alot of cliches and closely mimicking the original Alien movie. Some pretty good performances from the cast and some tense atmosphere building. However, the pacing is a bit off and does drag a bit at times. In terms of writing, I feel there was a missed opportunity here. The movie starts off with some great buildup and could have gone in a completely different direction. However the transition from Sci-Fi to Horror is so fast you can almost feel the whiplash. A shame.

Overall: Life is an okay Sci-Fi Horror and does it's part in that regard. But it also feels like it should have been more.
