Un grupo de seis astronautas, enviado al espacio a bordo de una estación internacional, corona sus investigaciones interceptando una muestra orgánica proveniente de Marte que podría testificar la existencia de una vida extraterrestre y, por lo tanto, demostrar que hay vida en otros planetas. El descubrimiento genera mucho entusiasmo y reacciones festivas en la Tierra y el organismo, denominado Calvin por una niña de una escuela primaria, es llevado al laboratorio para ser estudiado. Pero Calvin, a pesar del nombre, es una criatura todo menos tranquila e inofensiva: posee, de hecho, una estructura celular muy desarrollada, toda músculos y cerebro, crece desmesuradamente y muestra comportamientos amenazantes que desembocan en un ataque al biólogo Hugh Derry, quien hasta ese momento lo había tratado casi como un hijo. El infausto evento será solo el comienzo de una dura lucha entre la monstruosa criatura alienígena y el grupo de astronautas que tienen como objetivo mantener al ser alejado del planeta Tierra. ¿Estamos solos en el universo o existen otras formas de vida en otros planetas y galaxias? Y si es así, ¿qué aspecto tienen? Preguntas que nos atormentan desde hace milenios y que no podían dejar de estimular la imaginación de los directores de cada generación que han intentado, con enfoques y estilos diferentes, proporcionar una respuesta y dar cuerpo a los otros habitantes del espacio. Los géneros que más han cabalgado esta ola son, como era de esperar, la ciencia ficción y el terror que a menudo han unido sus fuerzas para crear un vasto imaginario de películas sobre alienígenas malvados y monstruosos que amenazan a la humanidad, como ocurre en el film pionero del género representado por "Alien". De este último título han surgido muchas películas a su imagen y semejanza, entre las cuales la más reciente es "Life - no cruzar el límite", nueva obra de Daniel Espinosa que firma un sci-fi horror más que logrado, vibrante y capaz de reunir los gustos y las necesidades de diferentes tipos de espectadores. Hay que decir de inmediato que "Life" no destaca por su originalidad y se apoya en mecanismos consolidados y bien engrasados para transmitir la dosis justa de inquietud. El de Espinosa, de hecho, es una película de género en el sentido más clásico del término y una escenificación muy simple y lineal lo confirma, con numerosas escenas de tensión y miedo en las que los protagonistas son perseguidos por esta criatura monstruosa, casi como si se tratara de un slasher ambientado en el espacio. Los amantes del terror quedarán también contentos con los ritmos muy ajustados, algunas imágenes splatter siempre de fuerte impacto y, sobre todo, el aspecto del alienígena que representa el verdadero plato fuerte de la película: primero parece una medusa pequeña e impredecible y luego, a medida que se alimenta de la energía de sus víctimas, se transforma en un enorme cuerpo lechoso, dotado de fuerza sobrehumana e inteligencia desarrollada. Otros puntos a favor de "Life" provienen del departamento visual que recuerda de manera evidente "Gravity" y ofrece momentos de puro espectáculo con sugerentes tomas del espacio y del planeta Tierra, visto a corta distancia Quien querría una trama más estructurada y compleja podría quedar decepcionado por el hecho de que los personajes están poco caracterizados y algunos giros narrativos son un poco predecibles como el final que, aunque muy emocionante, a alguien puede resultarle obvio. Pero son pequeñas imperfecciones que no empañan el buen resultado de la película de Espinosa que puede contar con un reparto estelar compuesto por nombres como Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, Ryan Reynolds, Hiroyuki Sanada, Ariyon Bakare. "Life", en conclusión, es un producto que hace plenamente su deber y es muy recomendado para quienes aman el cine de puro entretenimiento, pero que puede decepcionar a quienes quieren ver una película de serie B rodada con un estilo de dirección de serie A.

Life may not be doing anything new, but it's doing it better than similar services of late.

Final rating:★★★ - I personally recommend you give it a go.

Unexpected horror <br>

I was expecting so.ething watered down and similar to most new 'no escape' sci-fi movies. This was a great change, it felt more like alien; dark, gritty, serious.<br>You could spend hours picking things apart but it is enjoyable and I think that outweighs most of those faults.

Their historic discovery was not celebratable.

As I mentioned many times before, now is the trend of the space exploration in films. So there were many films like this one, but not all of them are received well. It was a decent flick, if you consider from the real world aspect, but definitely a very nice entertainer. Very tense plot, especially in the second half till the final scene.

This is a minimal cast film and the entire story takes place in an Internation Space Station in the Earth orbit with a lab facility. They've come from Mars with a soil sample to study for any sign of life. Their historic discovery does not become a happy event as they encounter life threatening trouble on-board. The remaining is to focus their rest of the mission that how it'll end.

This is the second film with the same name I've seen in the recent time. The other one was a biographical-drama starring Robert Pattison, but this is an sci-fi-thriller. Lots of big names in it, but the film did not make that kind of a big buzz. It was considered a good fictional space film. Kind of inspired by other similar themed flicks.

Lots of thrills, fast paced narration, a simple story with the nice visuals. From the Swedish director of 'Easy Money' fame. There were lots of speculations about its connection with other films. But nothing was confirmed by the filmmakers. I hope there will be a sequel, but this time it won't be same as the story might take place in a different setting. Overall, I enjoyed it and surely would suggest it if anybody asks me.

"Monkeys in Space" would be a better title for this flick. As with all bad horror movies, the horror only exists because of people ignoring even the simplest rules or just not talking to each other. Add various logic errors to it and you have "Life".

⚠ SPOILERS AHEAD ⚠

Things turn stupid when they start to experiment with that unknown life-form in a lab not suited for that at all. And they don't use remote controlled robot-arms but simple rubber gloves. The life-form, of course, instinctively knows how to use tools and how to penetrate rubber.

It then flees through a CO₂ nozzle (after an empty! flamethrower still had its pilot flame on and triggered the fire alarm) and doesn't end up in some tank but no, somehow gets into the rest of the space station. And this was only possible, because the computer to close the nozzles is a 1950s pocket calculator and you have to close them one by one by entering a 20-digit ID for each one or so it seems.

The story is driven by people knowingly opening hatches that should've been kept closed. Or not talking to each other, like telling the others that the creature is currently nibbling at one's leg.

Another highlight is the creature, finally trapped outside the station, finding its way back in THROUGH THE EFFING THRUSTERS. Why they seem to be connected to the inside of the space station is beyond me.

Same applies to 2 guys venting all air from a (sealed) module, but a 3rd guy opening the hatch from a pressurised area to said module without any indication the module was without pressure. (And, of course, he didn't know anything about the creature being trapped there, because he threw away his comm device the moment it had a bit of reception issues earlier.)

The whole movie is so wrong, I almost had to laugh. Especially, when the last survivors escape in 2 separate escape pods and the one which should reach Earth gets hit by debris and flies into outer space and the other one, trying to get away from Earth is kept from doing that by the creature who suddenly seemed to have acquired knowledge about steering NASA issue escape pods and is keeping the human from altering the course.

The torture ends with some Asian fishermen simply opening the hatch of the space capsule that just landed in front of them. Although they can clearly see the astronaut trapped in some spiderweb-like goo inside. It was like a final insult to sanity and reason.

It's life, Jim, but actually as we know it.

Life is an average sci-fi picture, one that gets by on effects and general sci-fi values. Plot is utterly familiar. OK! It's always going to be unfair to judge a film of this type by the bar raiser that was Ridley Scott's Alien (1979), but really the familiarity on show here is tantamount to being naughty.

A group of space explorers discover an alien life form and after the initial wonderment and excitement subsides, things quickly turn bad, with the potential for threat to mankind as we know it...

That's pretty much it, really, the cast go through the motions of being in a play that is basically the characters being picked off by an alien manta ray thingy. Standard formula takes a grip of the viewer, who will be killed? who is next? will anyone survive? and etc. The makers - just to continue the unadventurous theme - throw in a Deep Blue Sea moment, while Hiroyuki Sanada has wandered in off of Sunshine's Icarrus II to feature aboard the International Space Station. The ending has and will infuriate many, but personally I liked it, very much from The Twilight Zone dimension, to which it lifts the piece just above averageville.

Not recommended with any conviction, especially to sci-fi fans stung by serious science defects and logic holes, while casual sci-fiers would be better off with the brilliance of Alien or something more fun packed and unpretentious like Leviathan (1989). But as it is it's a decent enough time waster. 6/10

Yes, okay.

Boring characters, wasted superstars on a meaningless script, huge Alien rip-off which didn't work, an almost Marvel-style hologram on the ISS, laughable. Everything is so bad in this movie, except for the production value. We see gorgeous floating in zero-g, a sweet looking alien and easy on the eye actors. The boring story is not as boring as it would have been if the budget was low.

Still, some major flaws in story-telling make this an average flick. The pretty alien does not look scary at all. The characters are not introduced properly. The whole plot is disjointed, we get the facts of the story served without any sense of purpose. Finally there is no immersion, life on the ISS is as alien as the creature without weaknesses, for which you will be rooting half-way through this film.

I am migrating my reviews from a different site which has become simply garbage. TMDB looks awesome and I look forward to be a part of it.

If you can ignore some plot-gaps, the sci-fi horror ‘Life’ will keep you on the edge of your seat until its very ending – accompanied by a haunting score.
