The film "Life" is a test-tube baby, born from a blend of old-school
monster-movie DNA and state-of-the-art digital effects. At times silly
— yet surprisingly satisfying — this tale of sci-fi suspense and
horror, set in the weightless environment of the International Space
Station, gives Emmanuel Lubezki's vertiginous "Gravity" cinematography
a run for its money. While this ever-more-nerve-racking game of
cat-and-mouse is well calibrated by director Daniel Espinosa, the
film's real interest derives from the human interactions. Life never
reaches greatness, but it's solidly good, from its earned scares to a
spot-on ending.

My Rating : 3.5/5
