When Will Scientists Learn?

Rating: 7/10 (20 June 2017)

"Life" is a very intelligent, well-crafted sci-fi thriller concerning the discovery of life on another planet. Six crew members on an international space station discover an organism from the planet Mars. The head scientist tinkers, zaps, and prods the organism until viola it comes to life. First appearing as a very innocuous life form, the scientists on the ship simply won't leave well enough alone and pretty soon everyone is fighting for their lives.
I enjoyed this movie because of its realism. Unlike most science fiction movies, gravity does play a major role. The crew members are not "ambulatory" but move as if they are floating through the air. More story driven than creature driven, "Life" turned out to be a very taut, imaginative thriller. As in any movie, Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal deliver knockout performances.
Rated "R" for science fiction violence, disturbing images, and language I say give this one a try.
