A dull and predictable science-fiction movie. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/10 | Aug 13, 2024

I’m sure some of its logic could be picked apart if you’re into that kind of thing, but I enjoyed it as a taut, white-knuckle space thriller that looks great and absolutely nails it’s ending. That’s enough for me.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 23, 2022

Aside from a few nerve-racking moments and, generally, professional production values, the film's derivative quality and deficient innovations create a run-of-the-mill outcome.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 4, 2022

Tense action, tight direction, and a B-movie spirit make Life a fun time at the movies.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 29, 2021

Any forward narrative thrust eventually goes straight out the space station window solely for the sake of an obvious twist ending that should surprise absolutely no one over the age of 10 -- and by 10, I mean 10 months old, not 10 years old.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 17, 2021

There are some enjoyably tense action sequences, beautiful visual sequences, and likable personalities, but there aren't any remarkable new additions to the genre.

Though it's prepared to rush through some of them in order to keep the pace up, there are big, smart ideas at play.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 23, 2021

Body horror is always just a step away when extraterrestrial entities prove more evil than merely functional.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 5, 2020

A lifeless homage. [Full review in spanish].

| Original Score: 2.5/ 5 | Nov 26, 2020

Not a lot of fresh life in Life...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 5, 2020

When you see this pop up on Netflix in a few months, there are many worse ways to kill an evening.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 24, 2020

Unfortunately, it's not just the space station that lacks atmosphere. The film tries to create tension and scares, but it falls short.

| Jul 3, 2020

"Life" is the movie equivalent of dropping a handful of Mentos into a bottle of soda, screwing the lid on tight, and giving it a good shake to see what chaos erupts.

| Original Score: B | Jul 2, 2020

Life is a mixed bag, for certain, but if you have a craving for horror of science fiction, you could do worse and probably have in recent months.

| May 5, 2020

Life is clearly a complete knockoff of Alien. An exciting, gruesome, intense, scary, and ridiculously entertaining knockoff of Alien.

| Mar 27, 2020

This sci-fi shocker sticks closely to the Alien playbook, down to the intimately acquainted, flatly characterized crew and the scenes of chaos, panic, and overlapping dialogue.

| Mar 26, 2020

It's not a bad movie, nor is it a good movie. It's an Okay Movie, one of the hundreds of films made yearly that makes its way to a Redbox, or a bargain Blu-ray bin. It's the kind of movie that you'll see, forget about soon after...

| Feb 19, 2020

If you can forgive some of the reliance on genre familiarities, Life is the perfect popcorn blockbuster, which will keep you intrigued, frightened and disgusted throughout, with a truly spectacular and jaw-dropping finale.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 6, 2020

It is not the most original of films, but strong plotting, performances, direction, and visual effects all combine to make a satisfyingly tense monster movie.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 29, 2020

A decent but forgettable thriller that adds nothing new to the Doomed Space Crew genre.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 24, 2020
