» A new scientific study has been published on the upper limits of the human lifespan. While medical advances continue to lengthen the average time a human stays alive on Earth, scientists have determined that the maximum age a human can likely survive is no longer than 120 years, due to physical imperfections in the gene-replication process.

In that review, I described the film as more of a teenage flick with a sprinkling of superhero glamour, a trait that added a much-needed breath of fresh air to the usual Marvel film formula, one that threatens to outstay its welcome as the studio churns out multiple films each year.

Learning from history
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 28/08/2017
