Review of Life (2017) by Nikolayg — 15 Jun 2017
A standard horror film (more horror than sci-fi) elevated by the acting, and some cool effects. As people have noted, it's not unlike Alien. It's not unlike Prometheus, but it's actually better handled than Prometheus.
It's funny that there's so much more story in certain games, such as the new Mass Effect. Anyway, a handful of astronauts on the International Space Station (a real thing, so that aspect isn't science fiction) get a hold of a sample from Mars brought to them by some sort of unmanned capsule thingy we sent up.
The cute minuscule life form they find in the sample proceeds to grow and begin killing the astronauts. I will say - while it was standard - it had a particularly good ending.
