What we now know in the field of astrobiology and how life may have started on Earth gives scientists an insight in what to look for when searching for life on other planets. NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover shows purple-hued rocks on lower Mount Sharp on Mars. The NASA Mars Exploration strategy is to “Seek Signs of Life”. There is compelling evidence that there has been running water on Mars in the past and ice exists at the polar caps now, and methane gas plumes have been detected on the Martian surface. Now, as we really start exploring our own solar system and beyond, science is giving us more and more evidence we may not be the only planet in the Universe that may be able to support life. Through books, movies and TV, we’ve had both friendly and not-so-friendly visitors to Earth or encountered them in space. We have long speculated what life might be like on other planets and moons throughout the solar system, the galaxy and beyond. How plausible is the discovery of life on Mars?
As quarantine expert, Dr Miranda North ( Rebecca Ferguson) comments it’s “all muscle, all brain and all eye”. The crew discovers each cell is a myocyte, neuron and photoreceptor at the same time. So what do you do with an alien cell that has been in hibernation for thousands of years? Bring it to life, of course! An astrophysicist meets The MartianĮxobiologist, Hugh Derry ( Ariyon Bakare) recreates the atmospheric conditions with some glucose to feed on and before we know it, the cell starts to move and grow.

Of course, you can’t have a space movie without a space walk and when commander Katerina Golovkin ( Olga Dihovichnaya) ventures out, she doesn’t disappoint. We also see the impact of a long-term stay on the ISS, with senior medical officer Dr David Jordan ( Jake Gyllenhaal) struggling physically but not wanting to go home. The film even explains how the toilet works. Straight out of NASA’s YouTube channel we get to see the cast exercising and playing with a yo-yo in microgravity.
The film stays true to this home in space with just a few upgrades, including holographic plans, sleep pods and the quarantine lab, yet they’re small changes that assist the plot rather than glorify the life of an astronaut. The movie opens with a dangerous ISS external move executed by engineer Rory Adams ( Ryan Reynolds) and then takes us on a tour throughout the station. One of the highlights of the movie is watching the crew manoeuvre throughout the space station and going about their everyday life.
The plot is generally predictable and at no point did I jump out of my seat as you do with the great Alien franchise, so don’t plan on losing your popcorn.
