Life and the 1 idea

Rating: 5/10 (13 April 2017)

I enjoyed "Life". It is a well-made movie, it has great tension between the actors and it takes its b-movie premise very seriously. And all of this makes me give it a rating of 5, but it won't get more than that. I don't expect over-the-top concepts and super-twists from a monster-in-space film, but what I expect is ONE SINGLE ORIGINAL IDEA per film. Not 2 or 3 or 4. Just 1. And "Life" fails. It is a rehash of many films. Don't get me wrong: Many films, especially in the horror genre, are rehashes. Nothing wrong with that. -- Just 1 new idea. 1. That's all I ask for.
