Basically just a carbon copy of Alien....

Rating: 5/10 (23 July 2017)

This review will contain spoilers and i'm going to get straight to the point.
Life is basically just Alien if it was made today. Crew bring back a life form on board their station they know nothing about. it grows bigger, it starts killing them off one by one. They try to trap it in a life pod and blast it off out into deep space. That's all there is to the plot, literally nothing else to say. It's just Alien remade....
There are a couple of notable actors like Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhal but because there's no character development you really don't care whatsoever about them. We find out that Gyllenhals character was in the military and prefers life in space to be away from the chaos of earth, but we really don't find out anything of value about any of the other characters.
I am a huge lover of sci-fi and was keen to see this, but once i realized it's just a carbon copy of Alien, I was well and truly bored by the end of it. The ending I must commend this movie for though, it was very well executed and leaves the film on a relatively nice cliffhanger.
If you don't mind a sci-fi thriller that's got all the usual cliche's you might like this movie. If you've seen Alien, you're basically just watching Alien (The 2017 version).
