@pygospa Some people left when the first one died? wtf, what the hell were they expecting from a horror/survival movie?
@toni253 Sorry for getting back to you so late. I've seen this movie in a Sneak Preview (should have added that to the Review - I've added it to my Sneak Preview List though ;) ). If you don't know what that is: It's a pre-cinema-release screening of the movie in cinemas, you get the ticket really cheap (in Germany it's around 5€, where a normal ticket costs around 12-18€) - the catch: You don't know what movie is shown. Sometimes it's something big, sometimes something unknown, sometimes comedy sometimes horror...

Life is a pretty interesting movie that is basically a survival movie with elements from horror and thriller that is not afraid to have some drastic scenes (some of the people in the cinema left when the first dead occurred). However, these scenes are scarce. The Alien looks great, far better than I expected from the trailers.
Most of the time this movie keeps you on the edge, it is pretty captivating - the acting is great, however I found the characters to be a bit shallow and would have loved a bit more insights and development. Never the less, the crew is likeable and you do care for them which makes the story of course much more thrilling. The ideas are in part pretty innovative and the filming is great - so is the soundtrack. So all in all a good movie. However, shortly before the end, I did guess what would happen and it did, which I consider to be quite a bummer. However, the way they shot it, was still enjoyable - and again, the music for the end is ingeniously picked.
This is why I award the movie 9/10. It was fun watching from beginning to end, and I will love watching it again some times.
