I really thought about giving this a 5, but in the end, the only reason it gets a four is that it didn't leave me awestruck or amazed like a five star movie normally would. However, it is a damn near flawless movie.

The story is concise and precise, while extremely original and relevant to today's biological research. It has no plot holes as far as I can tell, answers all questions in a satisfying matter, poses interesting questions in the first place, and you just feel like the filmmakers knew that they were doing.

On the other hand, the acting is a bit bland (I believe that is the point, however, as it is a dystopian future). And... that's it, really. One of the best Sci-Fi movies I've seen yet.

In a sentence:
An airtight package of philosophical questions, character development, surprises and futurism. Can't really think of any negatives other than "it won't sweep you off your feet".

  • About
      I watch a ton of movies and TV Shows and play a ton of games, which is rather unproductive. So, I have decided to review as many things as I can, to at least get something that might be useful to others out of it. Sorry if I end up bashing a movie you like, as I'm in critic mode when I write here. In reality, I can enjoy every movie, even zero star ones! Hope you enjoy the site!
