An enjoyable science fiction horror movie.

Rating: 7/10 (15 May 2017)

Life is a science fiction horror film that focuses on a group of people aboard a space shuttle that discover a life form that seems very harmless and friendly until it starts to survive which includes killing everyone. Know i was really engaged with the movie. I cant think of one moment when my eyes weren't off the screen. The alien is amazing and very smart. And how it kills people is very horrifying and also morbidly creative. And it actually gives the thing some humanity to it. Like in the 1979 film Alien, the movie made it out to be this monster that just kills and only because that is all it thinks. But in this movie, they make it out to be this thing that only does what it does to survive. The movie acknowledges that its an animal that does what animals do, survive. Although it isn't perfect and i'll talk about that now. Some of the people in this movie are almost completely disposable. Like Ryan Reynolds is cool in the scenes he is in, but he is seriously in the movie for almost 12 minutes before he is killed by the alien. The 2nd half of this movie is also not as intense as the 1st half. The ending also felt a little rushed to me. So in the end, Life is a very enjoyable science fiction horror movie that really doesn't add any thing new to the trapped in space horror genre, but it also earns its spot in that category as well. B- or 7/10
