Review of Life (2017) by Drew R — 29 Apr 2017

"Life" despite being a very well finished film and with a direction that does not leave to be desired, we notice that it is the opposite of original, it is a fragmented of at least another 10 films of the same genre that is inspired, that goes From "2001, a space odyssey" to "alien," through "apollo 18" and "interstellar.

" I like the script of the movie, although I find it lazy in some ways, but it's smart to start with a slow pace until it shows what it really is, and we have a forced ending, but at the end it's a bit of a cliché.

We have the story of a crew of six astronauts who collect and analyze a microscopic life analysis of Mars, until it begins to develop ... yes, we have seen before, and in a much better way. Technically the film does not dislike, as everything is a copy of a copy, we have an attempt to simulate something of "2001 - an odyssey in space" and to use angles of "Gravity", but in a way inferior, but that visually pleases , And we are very careful in the details, and the direction of art is effective, even if the whole style is reused, it is well reused, and the director has some whim, at least in that, we have a soundtrack that tries to be epic and pass a Feeling, but it fails completely.

Making a broader philosophy about life, the film leaves a lot to be desired, because it creates a scope of who will debate the theme, and in the end becomes a blockbuster. We do not have any relevant acting, nor does Jake Gyllenhaal save here, despite fulfilling his role.

What does not let the film be a waste of time is its direction, despite being copied from other films, it is a good copy -Technically-, it does not impress, it does not bother and it amuses a lot.
