Movie #1359 "Life" -- a sci fi thriller with Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhall? How could I resist that? However, it is scary, like "Alien", and bloody like Tarrentino films, with floaty people like "Gravity" and doom and gloom, like "Passengers." So my point? I felt it was pretty weak because it was so much like other films...... But it was overall weaker than many of them because it had a thin plot, and even thinner characterization. It just moved from one bloody attack to the next, with not much depth of character --- nothing really to pull me in to the film. Of course, I care bout Ryan Reynolds, but it shouldn't be that way to be a successful film emotionally --- we should care about the "characters" that are presented, and this film leaves no time for that. So Yes, the bloodiness works , but the action is all the same and we, as a watcher, don't really care about these characters.
"LIFE" 2017 1 hr and 43 minutes i'd give this 3.8 out of 5 stars
Humans have long considered the possibility of life on Mars. So, when an International Space Station crew discovers a one-celled organism in a sample from the red planet, they're ecstatic -- until the tiny life-form displays a freakish intelligence.
