Review
This
somewhat pretentiously entitled sci-fi yarn raids the vault of classic
sci-fi movies from Alien to
Mission
to Mars, before landing surprisingly safely (sic) with most of its integrity intact. This is something of an
accomplishment by Swedish director Daniel Espinosa, who guides
Life quite expertly with a nicely paced focus on suspense. The
film is technically impressive, boasts a solid lead-performance from
Jack Gyllenhaal, and knows how to chill your spine once in a while.
A quintessential watch for fans of the genre.
