Life (or stylized as L I F E) is a 2017 American Sci-Fi horror film directed by Daniel Espinosa, written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick and starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, and Ryan Reynolds.

Plot
In a near future, a team of six scientists aboard the International Space Station discover a rapidly evolving life form that caused extinction on Mars and now threatens all life on Earth.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) This movie is overly similar to Sci-Fi films like Alien, and Gravity, In addition, it's also overly similar to Alien: Covenant, which it was released two months before Covenant was released.
 * 2) Poor story, the six scientists
 * 3) The creature also rip-off Alien creatures, facehuggers.
 * 4) David and most of the characters are pretty unlikable in this film, and rarely get any character development because of it.
 * 5) The film is boring, as it almost lack the scares, is almost nothing is scary at all.
 * 6) It still got criticized by many over scientific inaccuracies.
 * 7) This does not
 * 8) The title even ripped off the Alien title, with spacing the letters like Alien did.
 * 9) The ending is just ABYSMAL. To put it briefly, the two space pods were separate, and ripped off the clips from Gravity, and David's pod splashed down into Vietnam seas, And what happens next? When the Vietnamese discovered David, which he is now restrained by Calvin, Miranda's pod's navigation system fails due to damage sustained from the debris, sending her flying away from Earth out of control, much to her horror, despite David's attempts to warn them, the fishermen open the pod's hatch, as more boats arrive on the scene, in fact it would had been a sequel baiting.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The acting is decent, but this didn't save the movie.
 * 2) The screenplay is good.
 * 3) Much like mh:greatestmovies:Gravity, the movie has beautiful visual effects and extremely realistic and convincing, as it was all converted into 3D. Overall, it's CGI and 3D done right.

Reception
While the film receive mix-to-positive reviews from critics, it received mostly negative reviews from the audience.
