Decent sci-fi/horror

Rating: 7/10 (18 January 2019)

LIFE, which I gave a 7 out of 10, fits right between 6-and-under "crap" and 8-and-above "excellent." LIFE is par for the course for sci-fi/horror. Doesn't bring much new but doesn't trip up too terribly badly. Acting, cinematography, and directing were mostly solid. There were a couple nice shots, but also some cribbed from Gravity. CGI was a little spotty in parts and the music was just for backround ambience.
Couple things I wish were better:

Although the acting was good, and I'm a fan of all the actors, I never felt like these were real people on board the ISS and I certainly didn't feel like they were scientists. There's also a lot of "seal the air lock door before the air escapes and we're doomed if the air escapes"-type dialogue instead of "seal bay 1138 before depressurization and increase to .3-make that .4-on outer O-ring imepedance." I'm just making that up, but it would have been nice to hear more science jargon instead of Hollywood dialogue.

They had sound fx in the vacuum of space.

Like a lot of average sci fi and horror movies, there were quite a few times when you go, "ahhhh, don't do *that* thing! It's so stupid!" Never really rose above that to be clever or refreshingly new, but the movie was executed well enough not to be complete nonsense.

So it lands at a semi-wobbly 7 out of 10 for me.
