Life from Mars

Rating: 4/10 (3 August 2017)

Life has a good cast, good special effects but is an imitation of Alien but with the characters acting with all the intellect of Ridley Scott's prequel Prometheus.
The story is set on the International Space Station as a group of scientists retrieve a soil sample from Mars which contains a dormant microbe which they they do tests on and which starts to come to life and grow.
As the creature increasingly grows in size and gains intellect it starts to attack the crew one by one. The crew on the other hand make stupid decisions which puts themselves in further danger.
Life is certainly entertaining and wears its influence on its tentacles but the science and story beneath it has little logic.
