""Life's" a thrill when it's smart, but it's even more exciting when the characters are dumb - which is ultimately a paradox the film wears proudly, to the possible extinction of the human race."

—

Variety

"How this by-the-numbers sci-fi horror managed to blast free of the DVD bin and engage A-list stars like Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds is hard to figure out."

—

Time Out

"It’s a serviceable, watchable, determinedly unoriginal film..."

—

The Guardian

"A taut but puzzling space thriller."

—

Sydney Morning Herald

"It's not a good sign when you can sum up a sci-fi thriller in one word: meh."

—

Stuff

"The picture struggles to find a satisfying rhythm as the members of this multinational, co-ed team get slooshed up by Calvin or suffer related lethal mishaps."

—

Hollywood Reporter

"Life is a solid SF thriller that never manages to elevate itself into the realms of the truly memorable."

—

FilmInk

"Part Alien, part Gravity, just not as good as either of them. But Life whips along at a decent pace and deploys enough engaging action sequences to make it work."
