2017.03.25 Life 2017 Movie Review No Eddie Murphy's were harmed in the making of this review

Rating: 8/10 (3 September 2017)

Well. Life 2017 not the 1997 Eddie Murphy film was dang dark. Ugh. I felt I have said too much already. I personally hate movie spoilers, but then again if you are reading this, it's too late it probably means that you already saw the movie and my review won't be spoiling it for you.
First off. Dead Space + The Abyss - Gravity - Eddie Murphy = Life.
Yes, this is one of my infamous recipes and it is dang accurate. I wasn't emotionally prepared for it, which is usually normal when I watch a film. I try to know as little about it, so I can attempt to fully immerse myself into the film and really FEEL the movie.
First off let's say hey look: the black guy sorta didn't die first! Hollywood has left that gag back in the 90s and 00s where it belongs bless. Anyway, the other issue of death, because there is a lot of it in this movie, is RR AKA Ryan Reynolds. I know a lot of PEOPLE out there want RR to be dead in movies because he is obviously just such a terrible actor and those PEOPLE are rejoicing, probably with their own PEOPLE and PEOPLE that they tuck into bed at night before packing their lunch for school in the morning.
Back to the movie: basically Mr. Dead Space McAbyss Octopus AKA Calvin is a bwish at the get go. Maybe I missed it, but I feel like there was no "why" that explained his thirst for blood and his decision to tentacled the other Astronauts in the first place. Guess he was just a martian gangsta. They got the baddest of the bad.
Also reminiscent of Dead Space and Dead Space 2 (which had a perfect effing ending by the way, was the ending of Life. pun alert. Basically, they did the twist back and forth a couple of times: they're safe, they're not, they are, they aren't, etc. Do I sound like I am complaining? Probably, but I am not.
This movie effed with you and didn't give a shot. There was no Hollywood happy ending here. Yeah, they played like it was going to be a happy ending multiple times, but then, it went rogue. Dark as duck. I'm talking Wesley Snipes laying on the asphalt during an arctic winter dark. Did I enjoy it? Yes. I can truly appreciate this film because I feel like I haven't seen an ending where everyone feels good since probably the Insidious series. And before that? Nothing comes to mind, at least not readily. 8/10. Will I watch it again? I hope not. I want to respect it for the literal nail biting rawness that it was, and leave it out in DEAD SPACE PUN INTENDED! like they did for poor old beautiful Rebecca Ferguson. Darksided
