An average cliche ridden movie!

Rating: 3/10 (7 January 2018)

An average cliche ridden movie that lacked originality. Stealing obvious scenes from Alien, Life is a boring look at science fiction cliches - one after another. Like Alien, you have the breach of protocol that allows the alien to attack the rest of the crew. That usual cliche where someone ignores the warnings and opens the door to let everything happen. In reality - the lab would have been sterilized, but then that is the end of the movie. Like Alien, the mad scientist (android in Alien, Hugh in Life) protects the alien even though it is killing everyone else. The usual dumb cliche. Life Alien, there is/are escape craft, but no everyone can fit. Life a space program would have something that only 2/6 of the crew could survive. Another cliche. The alien who has never seen technology, never seen humans, never been exposed to computers, etc - somehow knows the entire ship, knows how to shut down communications, knows everything. Something that started as a single cell organism - no matter how many neurons it has - can never just wake up and know how to manipulate and run a space station.
