Feeble attempt at a sci-fi thriller

Rating: 5/10 (4 September 2017)

Life falls into the same category of films like Species(1995). Where the theme of the film is mans curiosity to explore for signs of life leading to the potential extinction of life as we know it. Start with a controlled experiment where you underestimate the strength or intelligence of the subject. The subject escapes and you have your plot.
So what is wrong with "Life". It is a very weak on the sci-fi side. It is almost as if the writers did not spend any time theorising about possible situations that may occur. That is the effort that goes into designing a system or protocol for investigating something that may have catastrophic effects on the human race. Once, you get that wrong, then it is very hard for any sci-fi fan to take you seriously.
Two movies with Mars as part of the story, The Space Between Us(2017) and The Martian (2015) are good examples of putting proper thought into a story. The stories are interwoven with the writers postulations of what may happen.
"Life" at no point was scary or thought provoking.There are much better films on offer.
