Review of Life (2017) by Htgamer — 20 Apr 2017
Life is a shameless rip-off of the original 1979 Alien movie.
As shown in the trailers, a crew of scientists bring on board of the ISS a returning pod from Mars containing a dormant martian life form (a micro-organism) which wakes up, grows considerably, becomes hostile and takes them out one by one, while the crew have to stop it from reaching the Earth. So far so Alien. The only difference is the very end scene which is a nice twist. But then again there is no real sense of fear and horror in this movie as in Alien. Based on the trailers I expected a movie following in Alien's footsteps but still I expected more than just that.
If you haven't seen the Alien movie (which you should), then I 'd say you can watch the Life movie. But if you have already seen Alien, then save some money by not watching Life. You won't miss much.
My score would have been zero due to it being a rip-off of another movie, if not for the actors' performances and the overall production values.
