Last night’s Superbowl gave us a wave of new TV spots and teaser trailers for this year’s biggest films. We saw the return of Baby Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Kurt Russell made an appearance concerning the Fate of the Furious (The Fast and the Furious 8’s confusing title), and in our favourite spot Stranger Things are happening in season two of Netflix’s smash hit 80s show. Another film which may not have had the same level of hype orbiting it is Life, a new sci-fi disaster film concerning a crucial discovery that initially seems to have huge implications for the human race. Of course things don’t turn out so well and everything goes wrong, a race for survival begins.
With shades of Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity this new film looks set to be built on a solid foundation. The new trailer does indicate that the events in the film may veer a little closely to familiar territory than the premise has the potential for. However, this is a trailer, specifically designed to get people on board.
Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, Olga Dihovichnaya, Ariyon Bakare, Hiroyuki Sanada and Ryan Reynolds. Life is directed by Daniel Espinosa and written by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick and is released in UK cinemas on the 24th of March. To quote the great John Hurt from Contact – ‘Wanna take a ride?’

Life Movie Synopsis
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.
