Laughable Bad Taste: A Joke that feels like a "Life" time

Rating: 3/10 (26 March 2017)

I don't get why this movie has such good reviews, so I had to write something about it myself. "LIFE" is not the Sci Fi space movie you would hope to see. When space is one of the settings of a movie I kind of hope to be it as deep and mysterious like space is it self. "LIFE" isn't it. The movie is very fast paced, much too graphic without any mystique and we don't really get a chance to really care about any of the characters. The movie has very bad taste in it's visual and dramatic effects. LIFE has also a very difficult time to set a mood. Is this a comical movie? Or do I need to take this scene seriously? I was laughing through out the more 'dramatic' scenes of the movie, but it actually had to be a serious moment. It's just very underwhelming. Although "LIFE" has it's strong moments, you have to wait a long time to get there. The opening scene was strong and kind of great. You really hope this beauty would continue through out the movie, but it doesn't. What follows is very underwhelming for a movie that has such a beautiful setting. Space is mysterious and you would hope to see a more meaningful movie about it. What we see is yet another Hollywood cliché which cares more on making it big at the box office than creating a meaningful experience. The movie certainly tests your patience because you have to go through a lot of predictable cliché movie moments and horrible action scenes. At the end of the movie you feel you have been told a very bad joke which could have been told to you in 3 minutes.
