Not bad sci-fi flick for seeing it once and nothing else

Rating: 7/10 (17 June 2017)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"Life" (2017) is a movie which will probably appear to those who like sci-fi movies in a first place - more for fans i think. The premise of this movie isn't original to say the least, but i like these "kind" of movies when they are done good. "Life" could be best described as a guilty pleasure - it doesn't offer you absolutely anything new or very exciting. Yet the craftsmanship of this movie and the A list cast makes it for a pretty not bad movie overall.
The weakest thing in this movie without a doubt was script. There many predictable moments, and some eye rolling lines like "my place is in a space - i don't want return to 8 billions of the motherfxxxers" - seriously - this line should have been movies dramatic punchline yet it sounded kinda bizarre. This movie also borrows heavily from great movies like "Alien" or "Gravity" - "Life" unfortunately is by all possible moons not as good as any of those movies.
Overall, "Life" is a not bad sci-fi flick for seeing it once at home. It doesn't provide anything new or very exciting, script is pretty weak, yet craftsmanship, music and great actors do deliver. And by the way to call it a creature in a movie with a name "Celvin" does not work. "Bob" should sounded more menacing.
