Life Ratings & Reviews
- assassin0071 april 2026Solid cast and very well filmed movie. I'm pretty sure everyone will predict the ending but the ride was a blast.
- Em13 april 2025Life delivers a riveting, edge-of-your-seat ride with relentless suspense and intensity that pulls you in from the very start.
- Shaydeknight7 mars 2026Life is a straightforward entry in the survival horror tradition, set not in the shadows of a cargo vessel but inside the bright, clinical confines of orbital research. The film follows a group of scientists aboard the International Space Station who discover what appears to be the first confirmed extraterrestrial organism. As often happens in this genre, the scientific breakthrough quickly turns into a containment nightmare. Structurally the film functions as a modern echo of Alien. The ingredients are familiar: a small crew, an isolated environment, and a hostile organism that grows more dangerous as the story progresses. Life does not attempt to reinvent that formula, but it executes the basics with competence. The station itself is rendered with convincing detail, and the constant vulnerability of the astronauts in microgravity adds a different sort of tension. The alien organism is a strong plot element. It behaves less like a traditional monster and more like a rapidly evolving biological system. Its adaptability makes it feel genuinely threatening, and the script spends time showing the crew slowly realizing just how dangerous their discovery is. The pacing within individual scenes is careful and deliberate, allowing tension to build rather than relying entirely on sudden shocks. Where the film struggles is in the dialogue and character behaviour. The crew is composed of highly trained scientists and specialists, yet the conversations often feel simplified, as if written for clarity rather than credibility. At times the characters make decisions that seem less like the judgement of experienced professionals and more like convenient moves to keep the plot advancing. That disconnect occasionally weakens the otherwise convincing setting. Despite that weakness, the film maintains solid suspense as events spiral further out of control. Each encounter with the organism raises the stakes, and the confined setting of the station keeps the pressure high. The filmmakers understand the mechanics of tension well enough to keep the story moving even when the dialogue falters. The ending is the film's most memorable element. Nuff said on that. So really, Life is not a genre-defining science fiction film, but it is an effective one. It offers a polished, reasonably tense ride that plays with familiar themes about curiosity, discovery, and the risks of encountering life beyond Earth. As a compact piece of orbital horror, it works well enough as an engaging diversion.
- Das_Lama4 juli 2025I LOVED this movie! Ponderings: 1. Don't bring stuff home that you don't know what it is. This is also good advice at a bar. 2. Some backup communication when going on a mission like this would probably be a good idea. 3. Sometimes it is a good idea to just "take one for the team". ie. Set course for the sun and break the steering wheel and air brakes.
- SAID MTS30 januari 2026A sleek, high-tension "survival horror" in orbit that proves discovering alien life is much better in theory than in practice. It’s essentially a spiritual successor to Alien, trading gothic hallways for the claustrophobic, high-tech realism of the International Space Station.
- FallenWyvern21 oktober 2025While many are writing it off as a copy of Alien (1979), it's an intelligent film: aware of the consequences of the actions of its characters. The alien feels like a real threat, and the time spent in each scene is spent exactingly. It's not a film that will challenge what you know about the genre, but it's an excellent showcase of someone who understands exactly how to turn this into a study of the subject.
- craft194710 oktober 2025Loved it! Brings the same vibe as the movie Alien.
- Eric Charles21 februari 2025“How smart is this thing?” As smart as the script needs it to be? Smart enough to grow a face? The real question is: how dumb are the crew? How dumb does it think we are? This director’s next movie, Morbius, asks similar questions.
- Otacon!17 januari 2026If you loved Alien, then there is a great chance that you will love this movie. I'd really appreciate it, performances, photography, the way that the story drives you along the movie, it's great. And I really loved that the director will not follow the trend of making a sequels just for money! The story can evolve from the end, but it's a choice of making one story and no more. Great
- Vandyt17 november 2025The new contemporary ‘Alien’ with a crazy and stunning end
- eckoryan27 oktober 2025Nothing a little weed killer couldn’t handle
- M08Y19 september 2025Life is a fairly decent stab at copying Alien (1979). There is nothing particularly amazing about it, but it does it knows what it is and doesnt go far wrong as a result. All of the characters are decent and getting to see Ryan Reynolds die a horrible death is always nice. The one thing that this movie has going for it is the ending. It's pretty great in all honesty. The takeaway is as following: It doesnt look as good as Alien. It's not as smart as Alien. It won't be remembered like Alien. The 4K bluray was pretty poor in all honesty, I don't think I could have told the difference between 4K and the 1080p discs. The audio was fine.
- Daniel Gustavsson11 oktober 2024Ridiculous 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.
