In Life no one can hear you scream, because you won't

Rating: 6/10 (7 May 2017)

"Life" reunites Ryan Reynolds and the writers of "Deadpool" to bring a tense claustrophobic sci-fi horror to the big screen. "Life" draws inspiration from "Alien," yet doesn't quite match Alien's revolutionary effects, inventiveness, and iconic status. Although given what this film was set out to do, failing to live up to "Alien" is understandable. However, this film was tense and well-directed, but really didn't offer anything new. There wasn't even an attempt at character development, the first act bored, and the movie was quite predictable and by-the-numbers. Oh and bereft of any scares or real horror unless you've never seen "Alien" or any sci-fi horror flick. And on top of all of that the ending made no sense. Hopefully "Alien: Covenant" will show them how it's done.
