Good concept, poorly executed.

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Very stupid and predictable decisions the entire time. Very terrible movie

Overall, this movie had great potential, but falls a little short. The actors do a great job for what they are given, but the character backstory and development lack mostly until the end. The majority of the movie is spent by the characters running away, and trying to destroy the alien known as "Calvin", but ultimately fail. The ending of the movie is a good twist that I didn't see coming, but right as you expect more to happen the movie ends leaving you with wanting to see what happens next. Overall, I give this movie a 6 because of the suspense of the movie, and for trying something a little different compared to other alien movies. The actors/actresses do a great job in their role, but for me it falls a little short due to lack of backstory, and a lack of emotional connection to the characters due to the script.

Synopsis: Astronauts (Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, Ryan Reynolds) aboard the International Space Station are on the cutting edge of one of the most important discoveries in human history: the first evidence of extraterrestrial life on Mars. As members of the crew conduct their research, the rapidly evolving life-form proves far more intelligent and terrifying than anyone could have imagined.Plot - 3.5/5Altough Life's plot isn't anything original, it's still in the higher end of the movies regarding this concept. Not only does it create a suspensful atmosphere through the whole film, but it also seems like a realisitic situation humanity might face if we ever found an outside being (which is something i enjoyed about this movie). I have to say though, the script is slightly messy, making the story predictable during the third act, making some key points in the story not as impactful while watching the movie.Characters - 3/5Probably the weakest part of the movie. The characters in this movie are so ignorant and make so many stupid decisions that at the end you stop caring about them. Also, most of them are pretty bland, not showing much personality, making scenes with long dialogue really boring. Most of the time i never thought that this characters knew what they were getting into while in this mission, which made the movie less believable.Acting - 5/5No surprise on this. Gyllenhaal, Ferguson, and Reynolds give amazing performances, which helped a lot with the tension the movie was trying to build up. The other astronauts also offered great performances, and it's really sad that all these actors potential was wasted due to the poor handling of the characters.Direction and Editing - 4.5/5Daniel Espinoza delivers his best movie yet. It's beautifuly shot, really well edited and crafted. Both the opening and ending scenes are really well done, shiwing the potential that Espinoza can do when given a good script. It's sad that he didn't work as hard with the main plot and the characters than he did on the visuals, but overall a great job from him.Visuals and Soundtrack - 5/5As mentioned various times through this review, this movie is gorgeous to look at. The cgi looks really believable, even though it's present basically in 90% of the movie, and at no point did i doubt this couldn't be real. The main alien on this movie is really well done, with an original design that makes it both terrifying but good to look at. The soundctrack helps build the tension, and it isn't overused or overplayed in the movie.Final Grade. B+

Everyone is dying in the end monster go to earth. Please do the second part but not this ridicilous
