If you are expecting robots, space aliens, or any other trappings of your typical sci-fi movie, then skip this. If you are willing to watch a contemporary look into eugenics and the science of messing with our genes to perfect the human race....then boy are you in for a wild ride. This character-driven piece about a young man born as nature intended living in a world with people who have been engineered by science is simply amazing. It's warnings against tampering with the ability of nature to perfect humans without human help is something to think about. The futuristic settings and environment were a believable addition to the plot. I couldn't stop looking at Uma Thurman's gorgeous lips in every scene she was in, and the youthful, handsomeness of the leading men made the movie a delicious tale of what can go wrong when we allow science to manipulate us into seeming perfection.
