This is NOT just an arbitrary science fiction flick that looks cool, but its empty of essence, like most of the movies we see. The filmmaker managed to make a bold, yet convincing guess of the next possible steps from our era towards a seemingly "perfect" future when the story takes place, and also carry a message.
It addresses the issue of the psychopath-geneticists of our time, who think they can "hack" what took nature millions of years to develop, and come up with a "better" human being -officially called "transhuman" today (yes, that bad already) with their infinitesimal knowledge and wisdom -they hardly know themselves.
The pacing is right, the duration is right (short enough), the dialog is fine, and most of the acting is decent.
It's a small-budget, yet thought-provoking movie, and original, and I would prefer this kind over any fancy CGI any time, which when it's over, makes me feel dumber than when it started.
