Who wants to see a movie called life? Seriously. It’s why I took so long to open this file (I’d downloaded a bunch of movies.)
So I was thinking about what a better title would have been.
Space bug
Alien stowaway
Space Scream
Alien life and death
Space Suicide
The Martian Creature
Trapped With Death
Those are all absolutely B movie titles. Life isn't a great title, but I think it might be better than those, to be honest.
Mars Attacks II
shareAlien
Sunshine
Life
Each film has the perfect title for their content. The other names suggested here like ‘Alien Resurgence’ are hilariously bad and would have made me run a mile for fear I was about to watch the worst kind of cheapo knock-off 🤦🏻♂️

share"Life Finds a Way" could be a good title. Then at the end you'd have an additional realization "I see, finds a way to a whole another planet, that's clever!"
shareFrankly, who chooses to go and see a movie based on the title, and makes and assumption over what they think it's about?
Especially these days when people can look up info, trailers, reviews etc on their phone in seconds.
For example, what did people think Magnolia was about? You would have no clue unless you read something about it.
For many years now movie titles have largely ceased to be descriptive...in 40s and 50s etc you could still have titles like Creature From The Black Lagoon. No ambiguity there.
A recent example was Snakes On A Plane. But that was a silly movie sold on the title alone...and Sam Jackson being...Sam Jackson.
People should do a little research, and not expect film titles to allude to the subject of the movie. And they should not get butt hurt when they make wrong assumptions...you take away from a movie what you bring to it.
