Watch " Alien" (1979) or watch "Gravity" (2013). Both are great sci fi classics. This movie though is merely a bad attempt to copy those classics. Boring failure.

Rating: 3/10 (21 April 2019)

Nothing worse then a bad copy, because this movie only reminds me HOW GREAT those other scifi classics like ALIEN (1979) and GRAVITY (2013) are. If anyone reading this review HAS NOT yet seen those 2 classics yet, they are in total oblivion of true brilliance.
In an attempt to cash in on the oscar winning succes of GRAVITY the producers of Life (2017) thought they could get away with a bad copy of it.
1 It doesnt look as beautiful as GRAVITY, although they certainly have tried to make it look realistic. But how much floating up side down can one take, before getting bored by it. There is so much floating upside down going on in this picture that it got on my nerves.
2 There is no real human interaction between the characters. In an attempt to look credible they are constantly talking in scientific mumbo jumbo language, which got on my nerves as well after 15 minutes. And the characters look bland. They just dont evoke any emotion from me.
Concluding: it is REALLY DIFFICULT to make a great scifi picture. First of all it can be quite costly to make such a picture look great. They sort of achieved to make this movie look like a sci fi setting. BUT looks may NEVER dominate the story or the characters. Unfortunately this movie is all looks and NO guts or glory. Boring failure.
