Fast Entrance and Pacing

Rating: 7/10 (28 March 2017)

Movies like Life are having the disadvantage of comparison to a great classic movie. In this case it's a little movie called Alien. From the first trailer on, you know the basic story of the movie. A crew of a spaceship has to face the issue of an extraterrestrial being with certain abilities in a closed area. In this case a futuristic version of the international space station.
But the director of Life is clever enough, to just speed up the tempo of this movie. There is no long introduction of characters or alien. The situation is pretty clear within the first few minutes. That fast pacing, the great but sub-challenged actors, like Gylenhaal, Ferguson and Reynolds, some small surprises and the good visuals are making Life as enjoyable as it is.
Will this movie be a classic and re-watched many times? No, definitively no. But it is entertaining waste of time ;)
