Lifeless just as much Life is

Rating: 4/10 (4 August 2017)

This little play with words in review title is of course about another, recent, very similar movie: Life . I don't think that any was inspired by other, it is just how poor is today mainstream, high budget production. Honestly. I did not expect much from later R. Scott. It was just that there was nothing decent in offer, so I went in watching this. Whole neutrino outburst was pretty messy, unrealistic - as it was shown by CGI, nobody and nothing would survive it. That capsule fire was typical overdone scene, with shock as only purpose. And then, they landed on that 'to good to be true' (probably only wise sentence in movie), did quick air rest, and out from lander without any biological protection, just with weapons (ah, I forgot, it's action movie). And of course ... Then made another stupidity - followed some creature in his horror land. Just like that. I should stop at that point. But it was too hot, and I could not sleep. So, there came some alien gore scenes, and some deep as spoon philosophy by android. And crew members died like flies, until inevitable and predictable retreat. Even more predictable was the end "twist" - hey writers, if you want to make some real twist, what will not guess 98% of viewers, and what on top of it has some sense, please make some effort and use your gray matter. So, I rate it 4, only because visuals. Script self is 0. Ah, ratings: average here is 6.6 . But in first 2 pages of reviews it is about 1.2 :-)
