Peter F On the plus side, visuals are good and rarely has a spaceship felt so real and functional. Acting is decent too. On the negative, the creators of this took an interesting premise, with philosophical undertones even — and then proceeded to not use it in any way. Apparently they feared that any actual thought would have deterred audiences. Anyway the result is that viewers are left with a decently executed Alien-clone, which is perfectly fine, it’s just that one feels a bit cheated by the title and its fist minutes. Also, these days I think audiences are used to a few narrative tweaks in movies — knowing after 10 minutes that okay, this entire movie will be about a crew fighting a deadly alien (and being right) does not help with creating tension.

Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/17/25 Full Review Cee A This movie was so bad Im having a hard time coming up with anything good to say. The visuals were okay I guess, nothing spectacular. This is the first time I've seen Ryan Reynolds play something other than the snarky/edgelord character he usually plays. There are a ton of scenes that added nothing to the story and really just felt pointless with the way things progressed. The dialog was hard to understand because the sound design was awful so you will want to watch with subtitles. The characters are shallow and all of them just seem to be kind of blank, they do things but there is no pattern that gives you confidence in them and barely any personality revealed. The few moments that are supposed to endear the characters to the viewer just feel forced and corny. You dont get the feeling that anyone has any clue what they are doing through the whole thing. Add to that the fact that almost every technical detail in the film was just miles away from reality. Yes, I get it, its a scifi horror but the sci in scifi stands for science. Even the alien which is supposed to be this ultimate enemy has no consistency in the writing or behavior it shows, its not motivated by anything other than trying to get the other characters. The ending was also horrible and rushed. I would say dont pay to watch this movie specifically, if its included in whatever streaming service you have then give it a try, but its not worth a rental or purchase on its own. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Geo3 F Most people will say it's a knock off of Alien movies and in some ways it is however to copy a successful franchise you need to do it right and Life did that. What I liked was the different approach of the ending and the how the creature was portray to created a menacing yet mysterious species. What I dont like was how at times it was too easy especially if you seen Alien movies to predict what happens next. However that said it's a good movie for horror/Thriller fans.

The only downside was the highly predictable and telegraphed ending. Watched on Netflix. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review tim s Not many horror stories are set in space, but Life takes full advantage of this notion. Reminiscent of The Thing, it follows a lethal alien life form as it slowly makes its way through scientists in complete isolation. Dread and uncertainty take center stage throughout the film, culminating in a shockingly twisted ending you won't see coming.
