High Life
High Life Review: Robert Pattinson's Most Confusing Sci-Fi Film Yet
This week we're strapping ourselves into one of the weirdest sci-fi films we've ever reviewed as we tackle High Life (2018) starring Robert Pattinson. We attempt to explain the plot, fail spectacularly, then attempt to explain why we failed.
Along the way we discuss prison spaceships, black holes, mysterious babies, increasingly uncomfortable "sex machine" scenes, and a timeline that's determined to beat us into submission. Is High Life a misunderstood sci-fi masterpiece or a film that accidentally shuffled its own script before filming? We have... opinions.
Before descending into cinematic madness, we reveal this week's Guess the Intro answers, chat about The Running Man remake, Mission to Mars, Iron Lung, Attack the Block, Love and Monsters, Pandorum, and a handful of other sci-fi gems. There's also the usual collection of questionable jokes, dubious science debates, Disney conspiracy chatter, and enough inappropriate comments to ensure we remain unemployable.
So grab your favourite beverage, avoid any suspicious medical experiments aboard prison spaceships, and join us as we try to make sense of one of the strangest science fiction films ever committed to screen. We may not discover the meaning of life, but we definitely discover the limits of our patience.
