Plot hole central

Rating: 4/10 (28 March 2017)

ONLY SLIGHT SPOILER INCLUDED
So I finally got around to seeing "LIFE" tonight. It starts off pretty much straight into the story with little unnecessary build up and character introduction which worked well and gets you kinda hooked from the start, the pace then slows a little whilst the Mars discovery builds in both size and intelligence and then the trouble starts for both the crew of the international space station and unfortunately the audience too! Visually it all looks good but the plot becomes increasingly irrelevant. My first problem is with Rebecca Ferguson's position as an on board CDC Doctor apparently in charge of quarantine and failing miserably (in particular regards to what Ryan Reynolds character decides to do). My next big problem with it (without giving too much away) is at one point the creature voluntarily decides to go on a bit of a space walk without seeming to struggle in the freezing vacuum of space at all! Not long after that the crew of scientists, doctors and let's face it actual rocket scientists came up with their brilliant plan to rid themselves of the creature! Which in turn left me wondering if they'd all suffered from a severe lack of oxygen making them all stupid, because I know they had just witnessed and even commented on what I had just seen. After lots of running around sealing doors over and over only to discover it didn't quite work as planned we come to the end scene. This was the worst part of the film, not only did they very poorly and blatantly try and fail to mislead the viewer, but did so by insulting the audience presuming everyone watching is stupid.
