Life is an intense sci-fi thriller about a team of scientists aboard the International Space Station whose mission of discovery turns to one of primal fear when they find a rapidly evolving life-form that caused extinction on Mars, and now threatens the crew and all life on Earth.

When u realize Calvin didn’t become hostile until they started shocking him when he just wanted to sleep.

[@TheGreatDearLeaderJimPickens]

Same with the rat. It was just curious before, but killed when the rat bit it

[@NtoTheM]

I think they sped it up, definetly. Eventually it would've started feasting anyway most likely, but their aggression definetly motivated a quick counter attack.

Sleep on his leg

[@gonehell6611]

nahh, however those austronaut feed calvin with blood and glucose when it still just growing cell,which means blood and glucose becomes Calvin's primary food

[@WEFAHawkStreet]

I think one thing that people are missing, outside of the shock and the bite, are that Calvin never tries attacking Rory (Reynolds), until he attacks it with the oxygen candle. Calvin broke the one guys hand after the shock, and almost seems to be petting the mouse until it bites. When it grabs onto the leg, nothing is said by Rory that it’s squeezing, it’s painful, it’s breaking bones. At this point, it may have been still trying to be ‘friendly’, and seeing if this human was nicer than the one that shocked it… It’s an interesting concept for the movie, and one I don’t believe is covered enough, that what if it’s been acting in defence this whole time? If Rory never attacks it, could friendly first contact have been made? Imagine being ‘abducted’ from your planet, like Calvin was, and waking up to things you’ve never met before shocking you and biting you? I believe most would act in defence and fear. The movie explains that this is a highly intelligent life form, what could have happened without the initial attack from Rory?

[@spike333s3]

I think you are right. Calvin attack the 1st shipmate because he attacks Calvin with the lightning rod. Calvin attack the 2nd because he attacks Calvin with the oxygen candle. Calvin attack the 3rd(Commander) because she commands to imprison Calvin for 10,000 years. Calvin attack the 5th because he transports Calvin to outer space with the escape pod. 4th? I forget the reason.

[@generalkenobi2088]

The reason it attacks is simply because it needs glucose to survive. Did the rat attack it? No but Calvin still ate/killed it. Calvin is simply feeding off of anything that has it, i.e humans. Since it has growing intelligence, it uses whatever means necessary to get more. This is why Calvin stopped David from jettisoning into space,so it could feed more on earth.

[@jameschristopher2540]

​@@spike333s3 ok then why did it kill Kat? People are just reiterating the same old points. This thing isn't good. Yes it isn't necessarily evil but it's more evil than good. Kat did nothing and Hugh the first guy was only trying to save Calvin. Btw Kat is the 3rd commander she isn't the first 4th.

[@WEFAHawkStreet]

@@jameschristopher2540 They’ve stated it’s a highly intelligent life form. After Rory tried to kill it, it was probably clear that the rest of them weren’t going to be any more hospitable. As I said, it’s just a theory, and one that makes the movie more enjoyable. It goes against the same old good guy vs bad guy motif and instead embraces an instance of errors on both sides. It’s a version that I prefer.

[@Subgenrelol]

Some people say “oh well the alien only attacked once it had been hurt. It got zapped initially. The mouse bit it. Rory used the oxygen candle and then the flamethrower.” At first I thought that was a bit silly but upon another watch I think they might be right. Rory decides he wants to “kill this fucking thing” but I feel like Calvin was just cowering in the corner and he could have at least TRIED escaping first. The other option is that at that size (and intelligence) Calvin might have still been intimidated and scared by the humans, but as he grows and realizes he can use them to feed and become smarter and stronger, that is when he becomes an actual threat

[@mairys6543]

[@DanielRay]

If anyone want to know just how gruesome and painful that death was, just imagine an hostile alien slithering down your throat which lead to your digestive system. The esophagus is the tube that connects the back of your throat to your stomach. Food and liquid go down the tube when you swallow. The lining of the esophagus is sensitive. So just imagine that thing going down your throat and ripping through all your digestive organs in the abdomen, including the stomach, gallbladder, liver, pancreas, intestines, and urinary system. Just pure organ destruction. And why wasn't Rory screaming in agony? Well, because his vocal cord was already destroyed.

[@forthehomies7043]

All the while Calvin was eating his insides.

[@yofolkdem1256]

How you know it went down the food hole and not the air 1 ? Given that Rory doesnt scream and starts spouting blood out, its more likely Calvin was feeding on his lungs and heart 1st. If it was the stomach which has pain receptors he would be screaming and not choking on his own blood yet or so quickly.

[@DanielRay]

@@yofolkdem1256 Good point but we'll never know exactly where Calvin went anatomy-wise. I would assume mouth to stomach first. Remember that the pharynx, or throat -- or "food hole" as you call it -- is the passageway leading from the mouth and nose to the esophagus and larynx. The pharynx permits the passage of swallowed solids and liquids into the esophagus, or gullet, and conducts air to and from the trachea (windpipe or air hole) , during respiration. Either way, Rory is sustaining major damages from the throat since Calvin is large enough to damage both the food hole and the air hole lol oh, and let's not forget Calvin is a foreign species from outer space. We're not even talking about how potentially poisonous this creature is.

There's nothing to say it was unharmed by this. Also people don't really understand what flamethrowers are because they mostly see them in movies or video games. Real flamethrowers throw fuel at a target so that it catches light. It then burns itself. This movie flamethrower is basically just a hot gas torch, which at best would need sustained contact with the creature to burn it. Yes in reality Calvin here is quite small and would struggle with much heat, but we really don't know much about what it's made of. If you fired a torch like that at a rubber sheet for 20 seconds, not much would happen either.

Yes, thank you. I won't speak on open flame in such an environment, I don't know enough about that, but this isn't some napalm throwing incinerator, it's a glorified bunsen burner.

[@Blahblahblaafmn]

The whole movie is goofy if you try to hold it up to any real standards; most sci-fi is the same. That's not even touching on the more fundamental issue of using a flamethrower, which relies on oxygen as fuel, in a compact space shuttle full of compressed air. There's also the classic trope of "super smart scientists make incredibly dumb decisions because they're so 'enraptured' by their discovery", i.e. them just blindly assuming Calvin would be docile rather than taking precautions if it's aggressive. My favorite is just the ending...how unbelievably predictable it was that by "sheer coincidence" the safe escape pod would hit some debris and go hurtling off into space, while Calvin's pod just ever-so-conveniently dodges all of the debris while also apparently knowing how to expertly manipulate Gyllenhall's hands to land the pod. The list goes on: sci-fi is for enjoyment imo, and I would rarely, if ever, take anything in movies like this seriously.

[@caragio]

Well, Ryan Reynolds is dead... pool.

[@yazajag]

😂

[@bladerunner5003]

Just me or the rat scene give chills💀

[@posterpaster1980]

This legitimately gonna make me pass out whie watching this

[@Skunnt]

This is the creepiest alien kill I ever seen

[@joshuahermanson341]

So basically, Calvin here pulled a reverse-chestburster.

[@MrSpeedyAce]

Every time I get a Mint Mobile ad on KZbin, I picture Reynolds dying in this scene 😀

[@dougiebull2074]

When we make contact with other life forms lets not taze em.

[@iCE-Bear705]

there's no gravity there but how the oxygen candle glass dropped 💀

[@marcellinodadon1103]

_...ha!...good point...i didn't think of that..._ 🤔...

[@Royvdl]

There's a couple of things I don't like about this scene. 1. Why didn't he bite calvin? Jaws are freaking strong, plus you've literrally got teeth that could crush and/or cut it into pieces. 2. How did calvin know not to go into the stomach, because if it did, well, there's stomach acid there and I refuse to believe the creature would like that, much less survive it. It's literrally made for breaking down food, which in a weird way, calvin kind of is to us. And 3. the most frustrating one of all. The entire movie builds on the fact that calvin escapes by tearing through the glove, while in reality, especially with a scenario like this, those gloves are kevlar reinforced and impossible to cut through

nightmare fuel

[@TheCedo87]

This is the moment where they should throw him out of spaceship in one quick action 🤔

[@keonnisjohnson7772]

They should’ve let him out when he got it off of him

[@momoller]

The only option would have been to keep it inside that chamber for as long as possible while they escaped in urgency, and then blow the station up.

[@aa-ze5cz]

Reynold's death in this movie was absolutely horrifying... being basically consumed from the inside out... probably literally eating his organs from inside the way it did to the rat...

[@nemesisprime2993]

Humans are always making things that's more powerful and wiser than themselves in movies i hope that they are not trying to do it in real life because humanity will end stupid by killing themselves.

[@MelvinSmellin]

When his hand is the only thing that has gravity

[@jgro9]

just think, what calvin did to that mouse, it did to ryan reynolds insides. what a way to go

[@Dreyden-]

Just open the damn door he's dead. Open the hatch instead of being lost in your thoughts

[@CFox.7]

All that panic burning depleting the fuel - meant to be a trained professional - selected for calmness under pressure. ALSO... had plenty of opps to escape the room and could have done burst firing as he approached an exit.

[@joshuagarbett]

If I am responsible in anyway shape or form for somebody’s anybody’s actual death even if there the ones that have been abusing and bullying and lying about me all my life I don’t know if I would be able to cope with that

[@rossgeller729]

Should have bitten as hard as he can and make it octopus sashimi.

[@oyaagiyaa871]

Movie name

[@marcellinodadon1103]

_...instead of watching "Calvin" escape...they should have gotten Derry out of the lab...these "intelligent" astronauts made so many stupid mistakes in handling this alien..._ 🤔...

[@nelsonblackshear5794]

After realizing it wouldn't die after several tries, the moment has back was against the door they should've opened it and pulled their man out.

[@justinschrank4806]

Despite how you feel about the film, this was a horrifying death scene

[@maciejguzek3442]

why 'despite' ?

[@subhazard4297]

I love how rational all the people are in this movie. What would make this even better, is if the alien HAD weaknesses. What if the fire almost worked? But it wasn't enough? If it shrugs off everything you quickly become hopeless.

[@akira111nora]

なんて映画ですか？

[@bobbyricigliano2799]

People instinctively want to understand and rationalize the actions of others. This film takes full advantage of that by design. It is the whole point of the close up of Calvin studying and petting the rat. it is all warm and fuzzies until the rat lunges aggressively. Calvin's instinct isn't to kill, it's just that it only knows one way to respond to danger.

[@jocobuswitte7637]

Gotta love the mint mobile ad that played right after

[@Fabonj]

"Hi, I'm Ryan Reynolds, owner of Mint Mobile, and also the guy who got his organs digested from the inside."

[@charlybaez157]

Ryan Reynolds saved his career with this scene 😅

[@fyzgamingmuigoku3669]

I mean it's not the only worst thing Ryan Reynolds has swallowed.

[@user-iv3sp5sf2j]

Why doesn't he leave the room when Calvin leaves him?😅

[@peterlohnes1]

Eliminating its food source would have helped...

[@skyler114]

I would've probably been screaming through the comm system drink bleach cuz boy was all out of options but at least it was trapped in him if he did that

[@calliefinck6275]

I can't believe they let that fucking thing in there without knowing let alone thinking what it could do

[@bradycampbell5321]

I really dont see why they cant just grab it. People dont realize that the ability the grab something and squeeze it is so useful, ryan reynolds looked like he didnt even try. I would take my fucking chances and probably die but goddamn someone please just grab the little jello thing and rip it in two like putty-slime
