Just an ordinary space-ship-crew-alien sci-fi thriller. Nothing special here and no reason you'd ever wanted to watch it again. It's still the same. They find Alien, they feed him, observe him, it escapes, it kills them. That's the plot. There are too many stupidities I'm tired of :( It's still the same in every movie of that kind. Why the hell anybody would want to use some plastic gloves to touch something totally strange and unknown? Isn't it safer to use robotic hands? If you are going to study something you know nothing about wouldn't you do it in some secure lab? And why the hell is it needed to close ventilation shaft one by one instead of pressing one button? I know, because alien has to escape somehow. As I said, many stupidities, many bad things in this one and to be honest It was a waste of time.

I thought the movie was great. Tense and the pacing was well done. Not too long and didn't drag. The astronauts are dumb and it's easy to say don't go in there when you are watching. I like Jake Gyllenhaal I think he's a great actor and [spoiler] too bad Ryan Renyolds died so early in the movie but I kinda was expecting it based on the posters him being the third name. The twist at the end i saw coming as soon as they got in the life boats but it still was done well with the fishermen finding him. [/spoiler]

There is no way you feel emphathy for those astronauts because they are dumb as fuuuuuuuuuuuck

Wow, this movie had so much potential but in the end it fell well short. The huge plot hole for me was: [spoiler]how did the creature get back inside by going through a thruster bell/engine? The ISS uses a hydrazine compound as a propellant and it is extremely toxic. This would dictate that there is no way that the thruster bell/engine would be connected in any way to ISS internal atmosphere. If it was, the atmosphere would leak into space![/spoiler] There were other things wrong as well but this was the biggee for me.

This movie is so scientifically nonsensical that I couldn't finish. Painful to watch with an analytical mindset.

You would absolutely love this movie almost as much as I did, maybe more.
I was so used to horror movies after watching them for years as every time the enemy pulls out their weapon, I would know a couple spots the weapon would hit a second or two before it happens. But this movie, man. I LOVED it! This movie actually made me twitch and even look away, as the enemy didn't have a weapon, because the enemy WAS the weapon!
[spoiler] I loved the twist at the end. If it wasn't for that 5 - 10 second close up on the fishers face, I would've never known they switched places. Wait, was that the same capsule Deadpool was in? Conspiracy, lmao[/spoiler]

Ridiculous plot, childlike dialogues at times, flat acting and awfully generic. If you have already seen any space movie with a monster then you have seen this. Though the movie you saw was hopefully (and probably) better than this. Stay away.

I went to see this movie to get warmed up for Alien: Covenant. I am happy to report that Life was a pleasant surprise and better than expected. The film was just the right pace and length, with solid performances and great special effects. I can see where reviewers have drawn a mix of Alien and Gravity, but it does so with respect. It also has something fresh to say, with some very clever ideas and moments where I had to look away. This was solid entertainment, and I would definitely recommend it to any fan of horror and science fiction. Life, as they say... is good! 7.5/10

You look for serious sci-fi ? Move along. I was out of this movie about 45 min in.

[spoiler] Should have been out earlier about around when they caught a capsule moving thousands of mph with a grappling arm without breaking anything. Yep, that is the level of science here. More ?
- Rampaging with some kind of a flamethrower in a laboratory without damaging anything.
- how much coolant can there be in a spacesuit ?
- can an organism lay dormant for what might possibly be millions of years and then develop into a complex lifeform ? Of that I´m not certain.
Then there is the typical illogical behavior of the characters that is nessessary to propel the plot. And the CGI for that alien is bad, you always recognize it as beeing CGI. Which is weird because the rest looks pretty good. And the end ? As if nobody saw that coming. They need to prepare a sequel [/spoiler]

[spoiler]Sure! Hey, look this alien thing we reanimated, it has trapped my hand and it's crushing my bones!! Let's all just scream and do nothing! Instead of, you know, turn one of the valve switches to add nitrogen, or oxygen, or glucose or whatever, and kill it.[/spoiler]

I really ~~hope~~ _wish_ the rest of the movie isn't as dumb...

PS: Guess what! It didn't get any better :D

Listen, this kind of film is unforgivable. It is unforgivable to have a perfectly interesting premise and just BUTCHER it with incredibly bad writing and lazy plot construction.

This was painful to watch because everything that happened was caused by incredible stupidity from what is supposed to be an intelligent and talented group of people. This movie made me angry because it could've been great, the creature was certainly interesting and the concept of it was very exciting, but the story let it down.

The only thing I liked about this movie, apart from the creature, was the ending. The beginning and the middle were absolute shit.
