Life (2017) Film Review

Rating: 7/10 (27 March 2017)

This afternoon me and my friend Niall Ferguson went to Cineworld Union Square to see the new space sci-fi film Life starring Ryan Reynolds, Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson.
Life tells the story of the six-member crew of the International Space Station which consists of Rory Adams (Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds - Deadpool, Safe House), David Jordan (American actor Jake Gyllenhaal - The Day After Tomorrow, Nightcrawler), Miranda North (Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson - Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, The Girl On The Train), Sho Murakami (Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada - The Wolverine, Rush Hour 3), Ekaterina Golovkina (Russian actress Olga Dihovichnaya - House Of Others, Two Days), Hugh Derry (English actor Ariyon Bakare - Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Jupiter Ascending) that is on the cutting edge of one of the most important discoveries in human history: the first evidence of extraterrestrial life on Mars the red planet. As the crew begins to conduct research, their methods end up having unintended consequences and the life form proves more intelligent than anyone ever expected.
Overall Life is an alright space sci-fi film filled with science, aliens, technology, space shuttles, the atmosphere in outer space, some violence, on the edge of your seat stuff, some close shaves or calls, some odd bizarre moments, sadness, tragedy, team work, togetherness, space suits and other things throughout the film.
So I will give Life an overall rating of 3 out of 5 stars and Life is worth seeing if you like space sci-fi films like Gravity, the Aliens films, Prometheus, Interstellar, the Predator films, Apollo 13 amongst others. So if you get the chance to see Life in the cinema then you should go and see it sooner than later.
