A surprisingly shocking insane thrill ride

Rating: 10/10 (25 March 2017)

I love sci/fi space movies in fact I live and breathe space movies. From 2001: A Space Oddycey to Arrival, I love the idea of having a crew venture out into the cold darkness of space to either find a home or research a newly found species in the solar system. In Life, you have 3 great actors. One of them is the first space movie in his career, Ryan Reynolds. He still was a merc with a mouth but gave good humor in his part. However so naturally in a space film everyone is serious and don't run their mouth all the time. Ryan's character in a space film felt kinda out of place, like he was standing the most in comparison of the crew. This whole cilm is shot perfectly. Of course in a space film, the photography has to be precise. No shaky cam or anything like that. You really feel that you're on the station. You really feel that you're out in space the whole movie. The script is absolutely fantastic. You really do care about these characters and how they interact with each other. And you can feel the situation they're in is incredibly stressful and and every decision they make is key to their survival. Overall, Ryan Reynolds does kinda stand out from the crew, but his dialogue is enjoyable. This whole movie is stressful and intense. It succeeds in grabbing your attention the whole ride.
