Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The science-fiction horror movie Life gets criticized by astronaut Chris Hadfield, who Ryan Reynolds consulted with during production. Directed by Daniel Espinosa, the film follows members of the International Space Station, who unknowingly bring a dangerous and rapidly-evolving alien life form on board their ship.
An oxygen candle. That's not a bad idea. An oxygen candle is this canister, looks like a small beer keg, and it's got a certain chemical in it that if you heat up one end the chemical reaction releases great amounts of oxygen. It's kind of like an emergency oxygen supply. He smashes it against a handrail and you hear glass tinkling. Imagine what shards of glass would be like without gravity. You don't have glass on board a spaceship. It's not an oxygen candle.
How Accurate Is Life's Depiction Of Space? It's interesting to think about the safety measures implemented for space travel, especially since the horror began from testing an unknown species the crew picked up. In that sequence from Life, Rory gets separated from the rest of his team when the alien, referred to as Calvin, attaches itself to his leg.
In terms of what the film might have gotten right, a lot of Life's zero-gravity effects were met with relative praise, considering the actors were reportedly on wires. Hadfield also noted that Reynolds paid attention to the "weightlessness," and that overall, that aspect was believable.
Whether or not it was accurate in other areas, the horror elements of the film were well-received. However, it would be interesting to learn what Reynolds and Hadfield talked about during production, and to see what else the astronaut may think about Life, beyond those aforementioned elements.
