Life tells the story of the six-member crew of the International Space Station that is on the cutting edge of one of the most important discoveries in human history: the first evidence of extraterrestrial life on Mars. As the crew begins to conduct research, their methods end up having unintended consequences and the life form proves more intelligent than anyone ever expected.

The fact that you guys clearly enjoy being together are what make watching these videos so fun
i know, right? if i were an LA film critic, I'd want this to be my clique :)
what the flick: start with a trailer, tells you what they're reviewing, then shows the trailer again.
Evil Flubber in Space
Aaron Brooks lmao
Is there a good reason for why the research on the alien lifeform (ALF!) isn't done within a section of the station that can be jettisoned in a moments notice, or subjected to some super-efficient chemical agents (bleach that sh*t!) for when the inevitable happens? Beyond, "otherwise there wouldn't be a movie" ? Don't get me wrong, I just assume NASA and our co-sponsors have a better list of options than screaming when the black scientist get his hand mangled.

Well its a series of stupid mistakes... see Deadpool ran (or Floated) into the room instead of following protocal. Rescued the Black guy but it attached to Deadpool's leg. Then there was a dumb fire extinguish mechanism in the ceiling that for some reason could only be closed one at a time. They got if off the ship once, but it was trying to get in through the thrusters. They turned on a thruster whenever it tried to crawl in, but they were wasting fuel and going off course so they let it come back. Finally they had the smartest protocal. Which was to have someone come from earth and push everything into space. They didn't know that it was trapped in the section they connected too. Neither did the asian guy. The Asian guy opened the latch and the ship wasn't fully attached so the alien attacks everybody and the back up pod destroys the space station. Now the space station is floating towards earth. So Night crawler decides to get in a rescue pod with the ALF and fly into space. It grabs Nightcrawler's arms so he can't steer and they land in the ocean.. The End.
Willie Robinson: stupidest thing from this movie is that the alien could really get back into ISS thru the thrusters... it is a space station, not a truck...
yeah that's potentially the one hole in the plot - but i'm guessing the actual ISS bio-lab where such an experiment would take place IS where they do it. if anything, the mistake is by the ISS designers who didn't think about alien superpredators!
yeah but given the alien is "all muscle, all brain, all eye" etc, and seems infinitely nimble & strong, they've set the rules to allow for that i think. what i mean is, if it were a humanoid alien with our physiology, of course it would be ridiculous, but its not.
Hiroyuki Sanada doesn't have very good luck in space, it seems.
Kaneda, what do you see? XD
You haven't seen Twilight Samurai 2: Space Patrol
Is this gonna be the Shallows of 2017? Good Genre picture that looks like garbage, but ends up being quite thrilling.
Lol I actually didn't love the shallows, too... shallow?
It was awesome
*Despite a thrilling execution, it is still a garbage* in the essence as it exploits one of the stupidest film cliche has been repeated in a new form yet another time. There is no realistic chance that people would get "infected" during
research, which is unmanned/instrumental even now, let alone in the future.
Ian Smart it got slow in the middle but the end was good
Stranger Happened it was like a boring version of alien
Saw the movie drunk ... when did they stop drinking? :D
Event Horizon or Danny Boyle's Sunshine? Isn't the Japanese guy in Life same guy in Sunshine?
Also, I agree with Christy... that monster vision wasn't my thing. I understand it in a movie like Predator but didn't think it was needed here.
This is my favorite trio of critics on this channel - their dynamics and chemistry together are perfect!
Question for everyone out there: was this movie marketed in your country? Here in Belgium there were ZERO posters, ZERO tv ads, and as far as I can tell, no wide theatrical release... despite it clearly being a big budget, BRILLIANT film! Was this also the case where you live? If so, any theories why? Perhaps they went overbudget on production and no cash left for promotion?
Don't go in expecting Alien, go in expecting Leviathan (1989) and you'll enjoy it
For a bunch of so called reviewers they sure don't know much about the actors in it. I mean Hiroyuki Sanada is a famous Japanese actor, he has acted alongside Tom Cruise (The Last Samurai), Cillian Murphy & Chris Evans (Sunshine), he was in Lost, he was in Wolverine to name a few.
During the entire video Christy reminded me of many girls I met around a bong in high school and college.
We did see some zero-g gore in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Peptol Bismol during the opening assassination on the Klingon Chancellor.
Also, Hiroyuki Sanada was in The Last Samurai, as Katsumodo's first lieutenant.
One of his more embarrassing roles.
Good review, but OMG, the bit about Sanada Hiroyuki, near the end, was just sad.
What is in that jar. Christy is having so much fun.
I just wanna know if the black guy the first to die.
Are there velociraptors?
Nope he's actually the 3rd.
You'll be surprised to see who dies first. :)
I thought the black guy was 4th to die?? Maybe I just remembered wrong though
the film actually tricks you into thinking it WILL be the black guy... clever writers!
The ending was pretty obvious too. I know they were trying to make it a big twist but it was pretty conspicuous towards the end.
Is it strange that I'm still in mourning over the loss of Matt's beard?.
Bring back the beard! :)
I miss the Hawaiian shirts. The whole thing reminds me of fat Mac from "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia".
Maybe he has a stylist.
He was cultivating mass!
what was Christy doing with the slurping sound and pulling er T?
They should have called this 'We need to talk about Calvin'
Also I really loved Eddie Murphy in this. That cornbread joke sure made every. single. day. in the army a blast :\
HitchensImmortal YES! Finally someone who references that classic!
Nice!
I get that the dialogue of this three should be mundane, by that i mean fast and a bit corky but sometimes i dont take them seriously enough to accept their views.
This movie is basically "Thing"(John Carpenter movie) in space...
more like Alien with a little Dead Space thrown in
You don't describe the monster in a monster movie when clearly the filmmakers intend it to be part of the shock and surprise and slow revelation of seeing the film. Come on, guys! You are professionals!
that fuckin mason jar
I think they should do a prequel venom movie now
There was a big rumor that this was secretly a venom origin movie actually (it's not)
Above average. Went in with low expectations and they obviously exceeded them. Really dig the ending but it should have cut a little sooner.
I love the review, because Matt Atchity is so giddy it's funny or punchy it's fun.
Something like that!
Again so happy I didn't see any trailer or anything before watching the film. Made it a bit less predictable and I kind of enjoyed it all.
Of course you have great actors and the characters are more interesting than is the norm in these kind of films and the ending is quite great. But it would not have had the amount of suspense and thrill and mystery had I watched trailers and knew how the plot would go before going in. Sure we've basically seen the plot and the idea before but when you don't know it beforehand, it works better.
Whoa? this movie was given a 3/10 and 4/10 on JoBlo. Y'all are smoking dust!
Matt's looking healthy af but I still miss the beard
For Jake Gyllenhal's character to have seen the Challenger crash, he'd have to have been 4 years old.
Does Calvin have mitochondria?
At first, Calvin's an extremophile, and then, he needs oxygen.
This is an unknown lifeform from a different planet. Why does the biologist know what organelles Calvin has without tests?
How does Calvin get so big so fast?
Does Calvin have a skull at the end?
In biology, you never ever name a specimen. Why would Nasa let the astronauts know the name the world gave to their specimen? If they didn't let them know, the biologist wouldn't have gotten emotionally attached enough to shock Calvin.
This movie was surprisingly really entertaining. A cool take and outlook.
2017 is the year for movies
Next to the ending, the "Good Night Moon" part was the suckiest part for me. It felt like they just threw that in there for the trailer shots. And every time Jake G would start to talk about his father or childhood, it felt forced and out of place. Who cares about your touchy feely childhood when people are dying around you.
Looks like Splice with a better cast.
I really enjoy finding out about movies with these people. They all are likable. And clever at times . . . glad to be in the field they're in. Thanks TYT!
Matt is looking much slimmer. Keep it up man!
Black Guy got Deadpool killed smh....
Nah Rory got the entire crew and human race killed..by catching it like a baseball.
one of those guy looks like a human treasure troll
Is Jigglypuff the second most popular pokemon?
are they high?
The Thing in space.
"Species"
Ending is brilliant??? I hated the ending so much. I had to rewrite it.
ooh, i'm curious - how does your version end? (fyi, i have no idea how u could hate that ending - it was amaze balls! tho i'll concede, slightly predictable)
Matthew Mutch me too
Its a bit like Cowboy Beebop -Toys in the attic episode
I watched the movie and I hated it. It was directed well but omg I hated it. that was not a sci-fi it was a horror. completely miss labeled. I literally stood up flicked off the screen and walked out.
1:54 "We weren't drunk..." says Christy with the jar of White Lightning in front of her.
Big Rebecca Ferguson fan here
Again as always Alonso has to dominate the conversation because his opinion matters the most. SMH
I've heard to much. I'm outta here
Alien + The Andromeda Strain = This
Let's hope they have Kalocin in spaaaaaace!
Edit: I wrote this before watching. Matt is my spirit animal, apparently.
Was excited to hear there is a lot of "zero G" in this movie until you mentioned a tear floating. That's not what would happen. Your tears would stick to the surface of your skin and actually form into something that looks like clear jello on your face.
I didnt notice any tear, although there was a scene where the coolant leaks inside a space suit, it did form the shape of somewhat JellO-ish. Give it a go, its not a great film, but certainly a good entertaining one.
Alonzo looks slim without the facial hair
I'm surprised that they actually brought up Pokemon while reviewing this.
I wish they would've went way of "Event Horizon" instead of another "Alien" wannabe.
Was watching this movie again last night. I frequently laugh because they astronauts do such incomparably stupid things. We're fortunate that real NASA astronauts are trained to never make dumb choices. They entire plot of this movie depends on the characters making bad choices, unintelligent choices. If you look at a great syfy movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey, the plot NEVER depends on a bad decision by a character (other than HAL, of course!). The human characters never make a dumb choice. Because of this there is great power and authenticity to 2001. Regarding Life, at least the final five minutes pays off for the viewer! Very clever ending, well done.
Gravity did the "weightlessness" really really well too, AND had the floating tears as well
See. A well-made alien movie grounded in reality is extremely terrifying..
How can u not be derivative these days without being the first to do it. How many other ways can u portray a horror alien situation in space that people wont compare to alien. Not criticizing i honestly dont know
They did it three times I think for the alien view. I really thought that was cool and it worked
Totally agree, the more I think about it the more I like it
Didn't Sandra Bullock's capsule in Gravity crash in Vietnam also?
结果太意外了
Agree with all the scores.
He needs to grow the beard back.
Matt's head is now physically bigger then his body...
Its like exactly Alien
Lol..flour, squid, lizard...
Christy is so cute.
I thought this was going to be gah-bage, but I guess I'll check it out. You guys convinced me.
its really good
MovieLoverHito 10 out of 10. I loved it
it's surprisingly good. even my dad, a 60 year old diplomat who hates 99% of modern films, especially fx-driven ones, was cackling like a schoolgirl!
Movie Lover Hito very good film better than alien covenant
Very average film. Suffered from having almost zero character development before the poop hits the fan. Nice production values, good sound, but probably needed 20 more minutes at start to make sure we actually know and invest in characters. Other issue.....a fully CGI monster is an issue as well. It’s good CGI.....but it’s still obvious CGI so always an issue. 2.5/5 at best.
Beyond sillyness, that's all. One stupid plot device after another stupid plot device.
Rebecca Ferguson is Swedish.
A good, suspenceful spacehorror movie, but nothing great. It definetly has a lot of plotholes and borrowed clishés, but manages to bring out the most from 'em.
I love the giggliness here.
Whaa? Hipster ms.Lemire.
Totally dug the movie
Smart enough to make the tears float? In space tears don't float. They just stick to your face because, you know, polar molecules and common sense.
Chez wiz bubble farts.
WOW 11 minutes and 58 seconds and you all said nothing. How is that possible.
Anyone else think that Matt is like the cool uncle to Christy's kid?
The Matt diet? Obviously needed a new wardrobe.
I liked it...it's ok, thumbs up.
I'd like her to reach out and touch me in a movie theater
I heard people saying this was a pre quel to venom
5ergio 6arcia you heard right.
Better than new Alien movie
This movie was so mediocre and predictable.
wait, black guy didn't die first?
MyTubeIsBetter20 but he does practical causes calvin to kill everyone
Alonzo actually liked a film.
Next, it'll be locusts.
It's right on par with Movie 43
i like it too, alot❤️
*One of the stupidest film cliche has been repeated in a new form yet another time.* There is no realistic chance that people would get "infected" during research, which is unmanned/instrumental even now, let alone in the future.
I really hate this movie!!! I guess the point of this movie is making people pissed off!! If they decide to make a sequel of this movie I really want to see the alien killed!!!!
Honestly, I saw this and consider it a better version of Aliens.
