What a wild ride, the movie was over when Calvin got out of the lab through the air vent. Of course the crew didn't just abandon the space station and b line it to the escape pods leaving Calvin alone in the space station. This is a great film but the crew continued to make dumb ass decision after dumb ass decision. This is a great film, I'd love to see a part two.

[@moriawalker1712]

Calvin is 100% muscle and brain. He is millions if not billions of years old. he is the perfect predator. When he touched his finger when he was smaller, he was only testing his strength. He knew he wasn’t strong enough and when he got bigger, he played dead. He only weighed a few ounces and look how strong he was. Damn we need a part 2 of life

[@alias234]

@@debianlasmana8794 yup, and in the last scene of 'Life' we see that Calvin is already eating Jake Gyllenhal in the pod, so it can spread itself into host bodies like the thing can, even if it cant mimic them completely. With the entire ocean to hide and spread in, Calvin can grow and infect exponentially, with no real way for humanity to stop it. Its then a 'simple' case of swarming onto land, infecting birds and insects, even taking over plant cells to end with a Calvin Victory.

[@blackogjesus]

[@borislugosi54]

I have a theory on the end of Life that Calvin was about to reproduce. Inside the capsule, it looks like Gyllenhaal is actually trapped within a cocoon of sorts. It doesn't look like Calvin but rather a sort of chitinous web holding him. Did Calvin leave Gyllenhaal alive to be a host or for sustenance for new Calvin's being produced? If this were true, for me it adds another level of dread and horror. The "Calvin vs other creatures" segment was awesome!

[@kylemcw8301]

That’s a good way of looking at it. Upon first viewing, I just assumed Calvin had taken a “preservation state” to ensure its “Entry” into earths orbit. But. Now you say this, I think you may be more accurate than what I assumed! Well played! 👌🏻 That’s actually a pretty nasty outcome, that I actually feel could be expanded on!

[@20TonChop]

My take on the ending and Jake still being alive is this. Cal kept Jake alive so when the rescue people came to help they would see Jake struggling and open the pod to save him. Tricking them into releaseing Cal so he could feed on them and inturn the rest of Earth. He covered Jakes mouth so he couldnt tell them not to open the pod. So devious and smart.

[@deustauries]

​@@kylemcw8301it could also be that Calvin was going through a change. He adapted to the zero gravity space station. So now that he is an environment with gravity, he is going through another form of evolutionary adaptation.

[@borislugosi54]

@@20TonChop except Gyllenhaal's mouth isn't covered and he is yelling at the fisherman to not open the pod. No doubt it's hard to hear anyone outside the pod but also the fishermen are presumably not english speaking.

[@borislugosi54]

@@deustauries yes, also possible Calvin was in a chrysalis and changing. This seems less likely to me though because he was always shown adapting very quickly, he was already incredibly strong and his skin or hide seemed very resilient to external stimulus like heat or cold. I don't know if the director or writers ever commented on the end scene. All theories are possible

17:00 "The Thing has a weakness to fire" Yeah, EVERYTHING has a weakness to fire. It's god damn fire.

What’s interesting about this movie, is how it corresponds with real life facts about Mars. Mars is a wasteland but we have found that it’s completely covered in radiation. There are also evidence of what looks like structures on the planet. There is a theory that maybe there was a civilization on Mars but they destroyed themselves through war. This movie piggybacks on this IMO and fills the gap. It’s not that they were trying to kill each other. They were trying to kill Calvin.

there was a really compelling theory that this was the prequel to venom.

[@efxnews4776]

Thing is, Venom is a Marvel character, we know the origin story of both from the man and the symbiote, by the way, Calvin clearly is a apex predator, but apex predators don't usually have symbiotic relationship with other species ESPECIALLY highly intelligent ones...

[@sworddomo1951]

@efxnews4776 yeah, but the timing of the release of the movies made it have some teeth. plus venom even though is a symbiote I'd consider is apex monster. look at the kraven fight it had. plus Calvin has shape shifting powers, and shown to attach to bodies. venom's (some)origin is also a flight crew picked up an alien species that's attacking the crew.

[@swiftblaqness]

I have been saying this since I saw the movie back when it came out. I own it on Blu-ray and I've seen it at least three or four times now, I'm so glad you are giving this alien creature Calvin it's due recognition. Calvin is a fucking menace, everyone loves to glaze aliens or predators but Calvin really is the true ultimate preditory organism.

[@tonts5329]

I think the Yuatja were sold short, they're extremely advanced technologically. Each one carries a self-destruct device when they go out on a hunt, that seems capable of completly obliterating any trace of biological life around them. They are also a space-faring species so Calvin can be stopped by this species. They just destroy him from orbit if he's too big of a threat to face as they traditionally would. Just blast him from space with plasma weaponry. If they encounter him when he's small their shoulder-mounted plasma cannons have a high chance of obliterating him, those are magnitudes hotter than what Calvin was exposed to with the flamethrower. I think the Blob could also be an effective counter to Calvin, given it dissolves and absorbs any biomass to make more of itself. Its only weakness seems to be the Cold though, maybe fire as it did plug up that one flamethrower quickly and Calvin being smart as he is could maybe exploit that. But that also depends on the Blob's size and honestly we wouldn't want either of these monsters getting bigger. (Kinda cheating with the Blob as it is originally from Earth, but the older one was fully alien so it seemed appropriate.) In general though, Calvin can take on a lot of alien horror monsters. They're intended to terrify and hunt humans, rarely each other.

The calvin alien does not evolve, it grows. As described in the movie, its cells are all capable of all the tasks . every cell is a brain muscle and other cells, it does not need to switch between these, its all at once. There is no need for it to evolve, adaptations like limbs are formed consciously to suit the requirements of the environment it is in. If it were to split in two it would count as procreation mitosis on macro scale. The suggestion in the movie is that the creature either lived on or was deposited on mars, ended life there and died out. Any single cell of the creature is sufficient to restart its life cycle, and all it needs is nutrients and an electrical current to restart in a desiccated state. When in the movie it has landed on earth it is keeping the human alive, as a lunchbox, changing environmental conditions give it pause. in theory once it finds the waters of earth it could split up into individual cells and spread out to consume in all directions. A second movie would only ever be a cop out, humans " find a way" to beat it, nah, unless they nuked the site where it landed the moment it did its game over. Anything that could be done to kill it would kill all life on earth including humans. So a second movie would either be a BS story about humans winning or just a constant onslaught of this creature spreading all over the globe and consuming everything.
