An unexpectedly (and impressively) grim little thriller...March 25, 2017
Those who have seen Alien will have a pretty good idea what's coming, at least to a point. Once things reach that point, however, all bets are off.March 24, 2017
Life... a taut, suspenseful thriller that's more enjoyable the less you think about it.April 20, 2017
A film where science fiction becomes a nightmare, a mixture of horror and suspense. [Full review in Spanish]April 26, 2017
The recycled plot is very much at odds with Seamus McGarvey's knockout floating cinematography, Nigel Phelps' multi-dimensional space station designs, and (Safe House) director Daniel Espinosa's aptitude for white-knuckle runarounds.March 27, 2017
The movie reduces its fear factor to simple suspense that's not insignificant but is pretty insubstantial.March 24, 2017
Here is a story that knows how to put the nihilism in the vast nothingness of space. If you're into that sort of thing.April 24, 2017
Remember how you felt at the end of that 2001 Tim Burton remake of Planet of the Apes starring Mark Wahlberg? Who thought this was a great way to waste these actors and an entire budget?April 12, 2017
If it had less budget, it would be a very funny horror movie, but it feels more like a flat product, close to being boring. [Full review in Spanish]March 24, 2017
It's Alien for short attention spans, Arrival for non-pacifists, with some remnant of ambition toward something headier. On that count, it falls short, but as a final-girl structured horror film, it has plenty of imaginative moments.April 14, 2017
It's handsomely mounted but not satisfying enough to stick.March 24, 2017
Life has cool effects, real suspense and a sweet twist. It ain't rocket science, but it does what it does well -- even, one might say, with a kind of genius.
