The last time Sony gave us a sci-fi movie, it was “Passengers,” and I never want to think about it again. So let’s just say they have a lot to make up for with “Life,” but here’s hoping we get some smart sci-fi thrills, not some half-baked concept that makes every insipid narrative choice possible.

From the pens of “Deadpool” writers Rheet Reese and Paul Wernick, and starring Rebecca Ferguson, Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds, the film takes audiences aboard the International Space Station, where things go very, very wrong. Here’s the synopsis:
Life is a terrifying 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.
“Life” closes SXSW and opens on March 24th.
