Did I just watch an Alien reboot?

Rating: 6/10 (19 June 2017)

Life(2017) doesn't show anything new and lacks originality. Watching this movie felt like I was watching an Alien reboot.
They bring the alien organism to the station, where it grows and kills everyone - I've already seen that in Alien. They try to kill the alien with a flamethrower - I remember that part from Alien too. So you'll ask is there anything different from the Alien movie and my answer is no. Even the alien looks like a xenomorph, I was very surprised that it didn't have acid instead of blood. The unusual ending is probably the only part, which is not copied from another movie but everything else is (as I already said) copied from Alien.
Another problem are the "tense" parts, where everyone just stay silent and look at each other, like in a movie made by Tarkovsky. There are like 2 or 3 "tense" parts in the movie but somehow these parts make the audience feel annoyed rather than tense.
Of course there are some good things in the movie but they're mostly CGI. The ending was one of the good things too, it was different and unusual and surprisingly not copied from Alien.
