Life

2017, Columbia Pictures et al

As a sci-fi/horror crossover, Life is a textbook example, although it joins a long, long list of Alien wannabe's. Production values are in the stratosphere, effects are flawless, performances are solid, and it delivers a few genuine jolts. But when the credits roll, it's immediately forgotten. Joe Morgenstern of the Wall Street Journal quipped, "In space, no one can hear you snore."
