Simply Awful. NO GATTICA!!
Added 4/5/2009
To put it bluntly, I love these types of flicks. Gattica was GREAT.
Going in to this film I had high expectations as I love the actors and the plot/premise and comparrisons to gattica got my hopes up.
This was simply AWFUL.
Boring, not even worth wasting time reviewing, let alone watching.
Those comparring it to gattica should be ASHAMED!

FRACTURED, THOUGH BEAUTIFUL

I enjoyed the quiet desperation of the main protaganists ( Tim Robbins, and Samantha Morton ) in this visually stunning film. Still I found the plot to be under-developed, and somewhat derivative of GATTACA, BLADERUNNER, LOGAN'S RUN and HARDWARE. The quiet sensuality of the illegal affair between the main characters is a nice, though again, evocative counterpoint to the dehumanized, prohibitive, and coldly sanctioned society of the privileged world that William ( Robbins ) is a part of. One of the most glaring problems with the movie's premise was why wouldn't the-powers-that-be in this neatly packaged, little world simply forbid conception between clones with similar genetic patterns, instead of 'love' altogether?
The music was quite good, and helped the choppy plot tremendously. The camerawork was exceptional, and Robbins and Morton were convincing as fateful lovers. There is imagery in the film that will stay with you well after the movie ends, and that make up for some the story's basic problems. It is worth seeing.

almost great

If you liked "Gattaca"," Blade Runner" and "I am Legend", then this movie would be highly recommended.
The effects are not worth mentioning; they should have used different cars and different clothing; this would have made a big difference. In the meantime the dialogue and the story is all very interesting and worth your time.

A fun heavy converstion based film
Added 11/19/2008
Over all this will only be liked by poeple who whish theycould write movies. I thought the movie moved along a suprising quick pace. The code only comes up once if I remember it correcrtly, it brings up a intresting thought or two. Overall I think the movie was overlooked Tim was really good in it.
