Life

Peacefully orbiting the unsuspecting Earth, the International Space Station obliviously welcomes pure malice.

Initially cheerful after having discovered that life in fact exists on Mars, that lifeform's inherent hostility soon transforms celebrations into madness.

Ill-equipped to contain an überadaptive ultra-assimilative foe, after a blunder releases it from its confines, the resilient crew still improvises ingeniously.

But can they prevent it from assaulting the verdant planet below?

Or will Earth suffer Mars's fate, and flounder inertly, eternally barren?

One Life to live.

Why this choice of title?

Perhaps a bleak message lies dormant at the core of Life's construction, for one character, David Jordan (Jake Gyllenhaal), resides upon the space station due to his contempt for contentious and warlike terrestrial tendencies, yet within space he is once again forced to confront them, and in the brilliant ending he is the only one capable of saving what lies beneath.

Thus contention and cooperation remain locked in infinite begrudging dispute, while unconcerned fishermen seek, to set them free.

Or in the heavens there is a constant battle being waged which humble good natured down-home denizens neither comprehend nor wish to entertain.

They're too busy living.

To comprehend this aspect of Life.

*Not bad but Deadpool was crazy better. I understand they required different scripts with different demands, but Deadpool was much more impressive.

And touching.
