Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4281626, member: 44"] [B]Life[/B] (2017) When something works you stick with it, right? Alien was a successful movie, so what if we reused its plot points. An alien is brought aboard a small dingy spacecraft. Though there are protocols to protect the crew from giving life with unknown capabilities and dangers complete access to the ship, they are ignored in the hope of saving a crewmate. The alien starts out young but quickly grows in size and capability. despite the fact that it is newly born/hatched, it seems to have inate intelligence. How do you fight aliens aboard a spacecraft with an oxygen rich atmosphere? Well, with flamethrowers of course. Those are major plot lines of both the movie Alien and the movie Life. In some ways, it’s interesting to watch Life to see all that it does wrong and remember all that Alien did write. Life suffers from the fatal flaw of many movies with an expansive cast, it tries to give each of them a heroic moment. Alien has plenty of heroic moments but they happen organically and don’t feel contrived. The cast seems promising but is utterly wasted. It’s stars Jake Gyllenhall, Ryan Reynolds, and Rebecca Ferguson. Gyllenhall seems vaguely annoyed he is a part of the movie and that seems to be the extent of his acting except for screaming no right before the very end credits. Rebecca Ferguson is wasted in that she remains fully clothed throughout the whole movie. Ryan Reynolds seem to have figured out this thing was a loser in manages to eliminate himself within the first 10 minutes. Though there are a few interesting moments and concepts, this isn’t worth watching. [/QUOTE]
