HBO is currently seeing a lot of interest in science fiction, particularly stories about aliens and other extraterrestrial creatures. This makes sense given the success of shows like Alien: Earth and the positive response to Alien: Romulus. With a new Predator movie, Predator: Badlands, coming soon, and older alien films gaining popularity on streaming services, this trend is likely to continue – though it’s a mystery why so many people are revisiting Dreamcatcher!
The 2017 film Life, featuring Ryan Reynolds, Jessica Ferguson, and Jake Gyllenhaal, taps into the popular fascination with alien stories. The movie centers on astronauts stationed on the International Space Station who believe they’ve found proof of life on Mars. However, this life-form turns out to be much smarter – and far more frightening – than they ever imagined, echoing the plot of the classic film Alien.
Life Isn’t Anything New, But It Is Fun
The film has received mixed reviews, earning a score of 67% on Rotten Tomatoes. Some viewers found the ending predictable or uninspired, while others enjoyed it as a lighthearted space thriller. One critic described it as professionally made but lacking originality. However, many viewers disagreed, enthusiastically praising the film and its ending online, with some expressing frustration at feeling pressured to conform to negative opinions.
Though Life doesn’t break much new ground and occasionally feels predictable, it’s a visually appealing movie with a strong cast. If you’re looking for a fun, classic alien movie experience – and don’t mind a bit of familiarity – it’s a perfectly enjoyable way to spend an evening. It might not be a masterpiece, but it’s definitely worth watching again if you like this type of film.
