Boy Scouts to the Front!

Rating: 6/10 (3 June 2017)

I will make it short - what you get is Carpenter's The Thing playing on the ISS-Station.
First the positive features: a good cast, good setting, cam and cgi- effects-department. Everything pro and well done, I mean we get Ryan Reynolds, Jake Gyllenhaal and Hiroyuki Sanada (he played the role of the Captain in Boyle's superb Sunshine!).
The downers - an total unbelievable plot, to an extent that the hunt of the alien got ridiculous, which weakens the movie a lot for me. I rated 5. With a fine, well-crafted plot, especially not so many logical flaws and dumb actions from ppl who are in reality handpicked and well trained and tested but act in the movie so dumb that I have the feeling boy scouts would have done better.
Without a with dumbness "infected" crew this movie could have been a new classic of space-horror. With that major flaw Life is still a good one-time watch, but no new classic of the genre - sadly, I must add.
