BOY OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY...SO FUN!!!
Lauren and I loved it. Dawn...not so much. I believe "hated" was the word she used in the car on the way home.
It reminds me of Yelp: one man's treasure is another man's trash. (I get a kick out of Yelp, by the way. The reviews crack me up. One person will write, "Best food ever!" and the next says "HORRIBLE. OMG. Please spare yourself.")
Life is a little like that.
Like Alien, Life makes zero concessions. It's all in. You're either for it or against it. You either dig it or you'll be ill.
Twenty minutes in, and I was hooked-hooked. About that moment, one patron bolts out, and on her way she whispers to the audience, "Bye."
Like, you know, "Barbara out. You guys enjoy your insanity."
Anyhoo, Life is extremely well done. The FX credits go on and on and on for days, and are led by Industrial Light & Magic, so zero complaints from yours truly.
It really boils down to, "How much do you love space thrillers?"
If you love 'em, done deal: SOLD.
If not, well, stay home, drink your apple juice, and enjoy Teletubbies.
