LIFE (Theatrical Release USA 2017)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.5|5.0 Starsìììì

Life—Five-star visuals and spectacular cinematography take the movie to a whole new level going in, but after the lifeform starts killing astronauts it seems to slip a notch in quality of story. The film does pull itself through so that an audience will be able to sit through to its conclusion; but, know that this is mostly due to the visuals and the actors’ cooperation during the filming.
