An intelligently-penned film that combines Gravity and Alien. While not wholly original as a result, it sure still feels fresh. Read more

A surprisingly effective space thriller, thanks to the polished script, the ensemble cast and director Daniel Espinosa's ability to keep up the momentum.

Isn’t exactly original, but the Alied mixed with The Blob storyline provides plenty of entertainment on its own merits.

It’s definitely not a perfect film, or one of the great films of the genre, but Life is exactly what I wanted it to be. Read more

Life is no sci-fi masterpiece, but it's classy and competent, and like those pillars of the genre, Alien and The Thing (and unlike Prometheus) it features intelligent protagonists who never behave like moronic teens in a slasher movie. Like its amorphous antagonist, it may not be quite what you're expecting, but it's worth discovering nonetheless. Read more

A moderately entertaining watch, but at heart just another retelling of the old ‘something nasty in the woodshed’ yarn... Read more

Derivative, but still enjoyable in a B-movie fashion, given a competent A-list cast and high production values. Read more

Life trades in the languid dread of its forebear for a breakneck (among other appendages) pace that requires little thought and demands no frame-by-frame viewings. But while this monster might be a bit immature, it packs a vicious punch. Read more

Technically it has few flaws, but on the flipside it never really strives to be anything above just commendable. Read more

Lacks heart and imagination, but it has a vicious alien that can’t be controlled, so it at least has that going for it.

Amounts to a middling (and derivative) sci-fi horror/thriller that never fully realizes its potential. Read more

The rest of the cast tune themselves to ultra-serious and sap away any possible zeal. Read more

When the focus was mostly on the actors, it wasn’t the greatest thing, and honestly a bit annoying.

Een buitengewoon effectieve science-fiction thriller. Het verhaal wordt zorgvuldig verteld en de claustrofobische sfeer wordt in elke scène opgeschroefd. Read more

Qua spanning slaagt Life er in de eerste helft er goed in om dit op te bouwen, maar naarmate de film vordert verdwijnt deze iets doordat het verhaal onsamenhangend aanvoelt... Read more
