not a straight horror but still worth picking up

Rating: 7/10 (13 September 2017)

Now that I have seen this science-fiction horror I do understand the low ratings. I mean, for me it wasn't that bad after all but it surely isn't an Alien look-a-like. Not that it has to be but by which I mean. There is action between the crew and the creature but there's more in the story then pure horror.
By doing so you move away from a scary flick into a deeper story all about love and friendship. But look, I don't want to be negative. It is still worth picking up because the creature from Mars is still a nasty one. The strength of Life lays in the fact that all characters do have a leading role and that some die rather quickly. It's a new way of making films or series these days, Just look at Game Of Thrones or The Walking Dead, they do the same. But mentioning both series, they do offer gore and horror and a lot of red stuff.
Life doesn't do that but the effects are also stunning. For example blood do moves strangely out of bodies, weightless remember in space.
I liked it and the ending is indeed super even as I thought this could happen, it simply did. Worth seeing for the creature and the 'space' effects.
