With another summer season of superheroes and rampaging robots just around the corner, here’s a very welcome gift in the form of a new, non-franchise science-fiction movie which, although there’s clearly elbow-room for a sequel, appears to be content to tell its gripping, pulse-quickening story and then get the Hell out. But we do use the word ‘new’ quite advisedly; in truth Life tells a sci-fi story we’ve seen literally dozens of times before in a lineage of titles which goes back to 1958’s It! The Terror From Beyond Space and probably still most famously realised in 1979’s Alien. But a good story is always worth retelling and Life suggests that there’s still plenty to offer in primal tales of small groups of people trapped in enclosed spaces terrorised by something monstrous
