Life movie quotes help tell the story of the film about what happens when astronauts encounter the first life form from planet Mars. The science fiction movie was directed by Daniel Espinosa using a screenplay written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. Life opened theatrically on March 24, 2017.
In Life, members aboard the International Space Station, including Dr. David Jordan (Jake Gyllenhaal), Dr. Miranda North (Rebecca Ferguson), Rory Adams (Ryan Reynolds), Sho Murakami (Hiroyuki Sanada), Hugh Derry (Ariyon Bakare) and Ekaterina Golovkina (Olga Dihovichnaya), are tasked with retrieving a pod which has collected samples from the planet Mars. They successfully intercept the pod and discover a strange life form within it.
Initially, all are excited about the discovery, including school children who name it Calvin. But before long, Calvin attacks Hugh and injures his hand. Calvin grows larger and becomes incredibly violent. As the crew tries to kill Calvin, the creature goes to great lengths to survive. What follows is quite the battle for the survival of two species, each seeking to get back to Earth safely, without the other.
Life movie quotes give a sneak peek into the film just as other quotes do the same for their respective movies including Power Rangers, Ghost in the Shell, The Boss Baby, and Beauty and the Beast.
Life Movie Quotes,
We Won't Survive Re-Entry
David Jordan: We've lost all communication. We'll hit the atmosphere in 39 minutes.
Miranda North: We won't survive re-entry.
David Jordan: But it could
With no communication with Earth, David and Miranda must think fast to try to successfully re-enter Earth's atmosphere without the creature. The Mars creature is still with them and, as they note in these Life movie quotes, may even survive when they would not.
The Primal Instinct of Any Life Form
Hugh Derry: What is the primal instinct of any life form?
Miranda North: To survive
Hugh reminds the others aboard the ISS that the one primal instinct that all life forms have is the one to survive. Their Mars creature has that too and will do whatever it takes to keep itself alive, even killing off humans.
Goodnight, Nobody
David Jordan: Goodnight, moon. Goodnight, room. Goodnight, cow jumping over the moon. Goodnight, light and the red balloon. Goodnight, stars. Good night, bear. Goodnight, noises everywhere. Goodnight, nobody.
David Jordan recites lines from the children's book Goodnight Moon. But as he gets to the end, he goes a little off book to acknowledge that he's alone with no one to wish good night.
Bring the Martian Back to Earth
Student: Are you going to bring the martian back to Earth?
Rory Adams: No, we're going to keep it up here where it's safe.
The ISS crew holds a live chat with students back on Earth to discuss the Mars creature. When one asks if they will bring the creature back with them, Rory assures them that he will not, at least not willingly.
These Creatures Wiped Out Mars
Hugh Derry: These creatures wiped out Mars millions of years ago. If we let it get to Earth...
Miranda North: We'll risk all human life.
Rory Adams: Let's kill the thing.
In the wake of the attack by the creature on Hugh, the team discusses the threat they're facing. If the creature gets back to Earth, it could very well wipe out humankind, just as it wiped out life on Mars.
Someone Help Me!
Hugh Derry: Help me! Help me! Someone help me!
David Jordan: What is going on?!
When the Mars life form takes hold of Hugh's hand in these Life movie quotes, he pleads for someone to help him. Rory wants very much to enter the lab and assist, but knowing that they need to keep the creature contained, his request is denied.
The First Proof of Life on Mars
Hugh Derry: This mission's primary goal has been achieved. We're looking at the first proof of life on Mars... Lowering oxygen, more carbon dioxide...
David Jordan: That's beautiful.
Rory Adams: I'm finally a daddy. There's going to be a big custody battle over this one.
Hugh Derry: Look how fast it's growing. Every single cell is a muscle cell and a nerve cell.
Miranda North: All muscle, all brain, how smart is this thing?
In a quarantined lab, Hugh Derry begins to examine the cells found within the capsule from Mars. While the crew initially feel the being is beautiful, they quickly learn that it's also incredibly powerful.
Cue Instagram!
Ekaterina Golovkina: We have visual confirmation.
Rory Adams: I see it. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on! Wooo! Cue Instagram!
At the apex of the mission, the ISS crew works together to intercept the pod from Mars. Rory is pretty proud of his efforts towards this and even demands someone snap an Instagram photo of his success.
A Major Scientific Breakthrough
David Jordan: This is Dr. David Jordan. Our mission is to intercept a research pod from Mars. This is the first capsule ever to come back from the planet. This could be a major scientific breakthrough.
In these Life movie quotes, Dr. David Jordan gives an overview of the mission. They're capturing the first capsule from Mars and hoping what's inside will lead to a big scientific breakthrough.
It's a Girl!
Sho Murakami: Hey guys, it's a girl!
Rory Adams: Congratulations! Do you have any idea who the father is?
Sho Murakami: Shut up!
When Sho receives word from home that he has become a father to a little girl, the rest of the ISS crew congratulate him in these Life movie quotes. Rory also gives Sho a little jab, asking him about the father of the baby.
