Mystery-protozoan from Outer Sp...Mars.

Rating: 5/10 (19 February 2018)

Decent cast in cliched roles and okayish visuals for middle-range budget combine their strength to blow some life (heh) into rather generic scifi-horror adventure taking place on cramped conditions of near-future International Space Station. The darkly lit station as a homage to Alien-franchise works and even evokes a few claustrophobic thrills along the way. Presumably trained scientist crew sure makes some perplexing decisions dealing with the situation at hand, but hey, isn't that almost a scifi/thriller trope nowadays?
Ultimately, the twists and turns, the nooks and crannies of Life have been seen many times in predecessor films. Life is in the end rather forgettable - though I found it sufficiently entertaining especially since it runs compact 110 minutes unlike many modern films that clock well over 2h and outstay their welcome.
