Life is a real treat for the audience.

Rating: 7/10 (29 March 2017)

The film "Life" is a test-tube baby, born from a blend of old-school monster-movie DNA and state-of-the-art digital effects. At times silly — yet surprisingly satisfying — this tale of sci-fi suspense and horror, set in the weightless environment of the International Space Station, gives Emmanuel Lubezki's vertiginous "Gravity" cinematography a run for its money. While this ever-more-nerve-racking game of cat-and-mouse is well calibrated by director Daniel Espinosa, the film's real interest derives from the human interactions. Life never reaches greatness, but it's solidly good, from its earned scares to a spot-on ending.
My Rating : 3.5/5
