I happen to think that the B-grade Alien ripoffs ( Galaxy of Terror, Forbidden World and its 1991, Bryan Cranston-starring remake Dead Space being three of the most prominent ones) are pretty fun. Not that that’s a bad thing, necessarily. The film that Life has the most in common with is probably Alien, or, more accurately, the work done by Roger Corman when trying to capitalize on Alien’s success. My fear was that Life would be yet another portentous epic about saving life on Earth and manipulating the space-time continuum and A-list movie stars staring at each other tearfully from each side of a porthole. The promotional material for Life is surprisingly restrained about what happens when its astronaut protagonists go to Mars, in a way that I can’t be - if I don’t talk at least a little bit about what the trailer doesn’t show you, there really isn’t much to talk about. Let me start off by saying this: no movie about going into space is ever going to be about how things went swimmingly up there. Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal in Life
