Title: Creating sci-fi from remnants
Review: Lured by Tim Robbin's taste for the offbeat "Indie" (e.g., Jacob's Ladder"), Code 46 offered far less than it promises. More a mood piece than science fiction, writer Boyce is not Gattaca's Niccol in his piecing together of Gattaca sprinkled with Blade Runner. Nor does Code 46 have the chilling claustrophobia of 1984.Instead, although acted well, storylines are as vague as the form of the monolithic government that enacted the code. Compared with other sci-fi that offer more holistic views of alternate realities, Winterbottom's is fractured and at times nonsensical.I am warned when, after a film, I say to my wife "What did we just watch". Paraphrasing Gina Davis in The Fly, be warned, be very warned.
