Good film! Acting was very good. Jake Gyllenhaal surprised me with his character, he actually knows how to act. The color of this film was good and had great sound! All the supporting actors did a great job!

Right off the bat, "Life" imitates the "Alien" franchise to the point it can't help but look like a rip-off.

Sure, you can write this off as a blatant attempt to copy Alien, but it's actually not that bad. The alien design is pretty good and it has plenty of tension to keep things going. The big-name actors aren't given nearly enough, especially top-billed Ryan Reynolds, who doesn't stick around that long. Rehashing aside, it's still a decent sci-fi thriller with a killer ending that, sadly, does not have anything to do with Venom.

The cast are solid – although they are always playing second fiddle to the special effects – and it’s all efficiently engineered. The main problem lies with the fact that it pales in comparison to its main influence; it is nowhere near as atmospheric as Ridley …

"I feel hate. I feel pure f*cking hate for that thing."

A space station returning from Mars with a mono-cellular organism. They call it a scientific breakthrough and the final proof that there's indeed life on Mars. However, the euphoria is quickly reversed when this lovable organism, which name is "Calvin" by the way, threatens to kill the entire crew. And in hindsight, it's a danger to the entire universe. Including peaceful Earth. Before they know it, this single-celled alien friend turns into an overgrown shammy. The result is crew members being crushed and consumed. Apparently, it's extremely intelligent and it succeeds in escaping from the observation lab. And then it is up to the rest of the crew to make sure that the alien, moving like a Patrick Star across the space station, …
