| Seven DaysRick KisonakThe final act ranks with movie history's most mind-blowing. Don't let anyone ruin it for you. Just make it your mission not to miss this instant creature-feature classic. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe 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. |
| El Nuevo Herald (Miami)Pilar AyusoA film where science fiction becomes a nightmare, a mixture of horror and suspense. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Fresno BeeRick BentleyAlthough familiar in concept, Life has strong performances, a willingness to take chances, a beautifully designed set and plenty of tension. |
| CBRKristy PuchkoIt's absolutely confounding that this movie is so, so very boring. |
| ABC TucsonPhil VillarrealAw, murderous space aliens . They grow up so fast! |
| Consequence of SoundBlake GobleLife is like a box of mediocrity. You more-or-less know exactly what you’re gonna get. But for what it’s worth, Daniel Espinosa’s space shocker, while totally born from the same stars as many other films, still lands about half the time. |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyIf you lower your sights a few pegs and go in looking for a solid, tight B-movie that builds right until the final shot, there’s a lot to like. |
| The Film StageJordan RaupDespite a layer of derivative blandness with the formation of its characters and cribbing from sci-fi greats, there’s something downright invigorating about a film without loftier ambitions than providing slasher-in-space pulp. |
| LRMEdward DouglasA welcome addition to the genre, although it is slower and more grounded in reality than the science fiction movies to which modern audiences have become accustomed. |
