Review of Life (2017) by Mike G — 21 Jun 2017
Tl:dr - Sad and underwhelming, go watch Arrival again!
With the cast on hand in this film I was expecting something smart, funny and scary. What I got was a limp film, with poorly written characters, zero thought put into actual procedures and an ok monster. The dumb mistakes made throughout and unlikable crew just made it a total waste. And that is my biggest frustration! The CG was amazing, the ISS just coming to life on screen.
We put smart people in space, people trained to handle all sorts of scenarios, but yet in this film keeping a bloody door closed is beyond most of them. Or that you have a containment protocol overriden by the automated systems on board, or that this super smart alien goes on a rampage rather than tricking them into taking it home.
