Incredibly unique with just enough story to make it worth the watch!
Directors nowadays would drag this kind of story out to three hours but this one is succinct, suspenseful, and emotional.
An amazing script combines with a sci-fi premise and a film noir-esque tone to create an entertaining and ultimately satisfying film.
The is movie holds up REALLY well. Good topic for a scifi thriller. Awesome direction and acting. Pretty good story. Check it out.
The kind of smart and thought provoking SF we expect from Andrew Niccol at his peak. Aesthetically cold but utterly gripping.
Great sci-fi film that doesn’t rely on special effects but instead has a great story. It takes place in a world where eugenics is the norm.
One of the best, most inspiring movies I’ve ever seen. So many workouts I tried harder remembering a scene from this movie.
Liked the cleanliness, conscious of DNA, futuristic and plot of the movie.
I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected! Great cast and incredible world-building!
One of my favorites. Quiet, moody, suspenseful, and stands the test of time.
