"Teens in cabin"-horror flick... But in SPAAACE!

Rating: 5/10 (24 July 2019)

It's alright. Worth a watch if you got nothing better to do.
But it suffers from the same idiotic decision-making, so many in this genre does.
It has beautiful and believable cg, the actors does a good job for the most part, it's nicely shot and the backbone of the plot is interesting enough.
But I facepalmed my way through most of this movie."WHY!? Why are you doing that!? That doesn't make any sense!"
I'd guess NASA (Or whoever is in charge) would send the best of the best to retrieve and study an alien lifeform. But they flush all logic out into space and let emotions take control as soon as something bad happens. Scientist is attacked by alien, Reynolds' character decides he has to help and break the quarantine, and the boss lets him do it. All hell breaks loose from there.
It's too bad. It had a lot of potential. And we have seen it done nicely before, noticeably with Alien and Aliens. Acting professional and doing things that makes sense in the situation... But the creature getting the better of them anyway. Sadly, in Life, it is for the most part the characters fault, when they decide to throw every security-measure out the airlock as soon as the alien becomes hostile.
Buuut... If you just want a quick mindless horror-flick... It is still worth watching.
The ending did send chills down my spine. Just don't expect much logic.
