Life: The Alien Escapes To Earth (Jake Gyllenhaal HD Ending Scene)

[@toxmedic29]

Idk which fates worse … being lost in space knowing humanity is doomed or being the one who lands on earth knowing you’ve just doomed the entire human race. Truly a great movie that makes you realize just how harsh LIFE can be.

[@_yaboi_O1]

I don’t think the ending was a shock. Maybe it’s just because I noticed the way the shots were edited together, that it was clear the woman’s pod was hit and Jake’s character wasn’t having any technical problems.

[@peterl3907]

Agree! I was convinced there would be a stinger of some kind, but I thought it would be a smaller piece of Calvin hiding out in Rebecca Ferguson's pod and slipping into the ocean or something. That final shot of the other fishing boats arriving to help, oblivious to their impending doom, stuck with me long after I left the theater when I first saw this.

[@cristobalgarces1675]

@hardstyle905 It was predictable if you watch a lot of horror films. There's almost always a plot twist at the end. And since it was leading up to this moment, the only logical conclusion, leaving it in space and returning to Earth, it was obvious what the twist would be. I can't really watch movies anymore because most of them have become tropish. It's almost laughable how easy it is to predict the plot of the movie after the first 15 minutes.

​@@YoshiEggableI find it's spread super thin. There are so many interesting things to explore, mostly in terms of morality, self sacrifice, etc. Also the plot holes where a group of ISS astronauts don't know the protocols and don't seem to understand why they are there.

[@lyndonsicks1565]

I'd like to think that there was a reason Calvin didn't straight up kill David in this scene. Of everyone on the ISS (including the rat), he was the only one that didn't make any attempt to directly harm it. Calvin's general movements with him while holding him back from the controls are slow and fluid. Calvin basically killed everyone else in an aggressive manner, quick and to the point. I genuinely don't know what Calvin was doing to him after re-entry, but clearly he was still alive. Unless there's some sort of advantage to feeding off an animal alive rather than dead, I think this was Calvin attempting to communicate with David by directly linking it's own mind with David's, hence the weird formation it made around David's face. I'm probably wrong about that, but only the writers really know.

[@pudgypanda6391]

I presume Calvin was adapting to earth's atmosphere. When they first found Calvin, it was barely moving or active even on a cellular level . during this time I believe it was adapting to its environment. slow movements then became active.

[@lyndonsicks1565]

@G E T R E K T Well Calvin perceived it as a hostile action. You wouldn't like someone trying to wake you up with an electrical shock, would you?

[@lyndonsicks1565]

@G E T R E K T It doesn't really matter if he did or didn't before, because only chose to respond aggressively to the electric wand. Don't get me wrong, the idea that Calvin was just using David as bait to lure people to open the escape pod door is pretty likely, but I can't shake the feeling that they chose to add those small moments of how Calvin responded to certain situations on purpose. Like why did Calvin approach the rat in the box with slow and curious-like movements instead of just straight up killing it before it could bite? I feel like that detail was put in the movie for a reason.

[@lyndonsicks1565]

@G E T R E K T It's also worth noting that David specifically stated that he wanted to sacrifice himself because he didn't want to come back down to, "8 billion of those motherfuckers" so maybe David had a little bit of a darkside and intentionally let Calvin overpower him to bring the pod down to Earth without interference from Miranda. Perhaps he only put on the act of resisting Calvin in case the black box recording was recovered so as to avoid suspicion from the governments that he did intentionally bring Calvin down to Earth in an act of terrorism. It would also imply that he put that act on with the rest of the crewmembers during the duration of the entire movie as well which doesn't really sound likely...but it is still a possibility.

[@peoplez129]

In reality, the doors would not be able to be opened like that, so it would have never gotten out. Calvin also doesn't necessarily have reproductive capabilities. It may be able to get larger, but there's nothing to indicate it has the ability to procreate on its own, especially considering there are many times it would have been useful to split into more copies. So at best you essentially have a single rogue alien that would either end up in the deep sea bothering no one, or become a threat that humans would eventually deal with.

[@iwillcontactattorneygenera1078]

It can (and likely does) also carry any number of diseases and bacteria that can be detrimental. There's a reason they had such vigurous decontamination and made comments about "anthrax". A simple flu from a another planet will have zero resistance here. It's also quite likely that Calvin is asexual in its reproduction, since the organism is completely made out of growing multipurpose cells. We also don't know what can kill it, since it seems unaffected by fire, cold, considerable amounts of force and lack of oxygen. It needs barely anything but liquid to grow but survives for long without it. It's INCREDIBLY strong and fast. I'd say even if Calvin doesnt kill thousands of humans... the things it brings with it sure might Also, you can absolutely open escape pods from the outside. The person inside is highly likely to not be able to do it themselves and need aid. Of course you can.

Calvin's smartness doesn't make much sense. How come he knows what buttons are for what, how space ship operates, aware that he was in space and there are planets, and instead of jumping directly to it you need a pod to survive atmospheric friction. Know which hole to get in and it's not going to be a dead end. I mean, Huh? even with a 10000 IQ you wouldn't know that shit if nobody ever taught you or you've never experienced it before.

What Calvin probably did was he saw what Jake was doing and aimed the throttle the opposite direction

[@SoulOne713]

maybe when it ate the other astronauts it somehow acquired their intelligence also

[@Murphy82nd]

Wait, if the escape pod is in manual mode and he aims the pod away from Earth and fires the thrusters, even without his continued input it should continue in that direction. Certainly gravity will have some impact, but the notion that the pod would end up in a perfect reentry vector, when that vector was previously altered, doesn't seem very plausible.
