I wish to preface this by saying that the version I watched was the dubbed version and the review is based on the assumption of accurate translation (which the quality of the dubbing may bring into question).
Starting off on a positive note, the dog steals every scene that it is in and gives a wonderful performance. The effects weren't bad (though I am easy to please in this regard).
A movie where one of the smarter characters says, "{That our results being outside of expectations} means that science has reached its limits" is certainly worrying. The portrayal of "science" and "scientists" in this movie is not merely inaccurate, but potentially dangerous. This may sound melodramatic, but ideas are the foundation upon which decisions are made and decisions made believing the "science" portrayed in this movie can only serve to hinder progress. Science is a method, not an answer and results being wrong means that the data was wrong (or incomplete) not that science has reached a limit.
On a related note, every character in this film lacks basic reasoning skills. For example, *spoiler*if you discover a substance that can make chimeras that have already displayed hostility do you A)Immediately seek help/notify authorities B)Ensure that if something goes wrong you can remain safe C)Attempt to hide said substance for "science" and effectively sabotage all means of seeking help should you need it ? If you chose C, then you are a character in this movie. */spoiler* A large number have of movies have one to many of these idiots to move the plot along, but this movie consists entirely of them.
This movie seems to throw in ideas like climate change and *spoiler*abortion*/spoiler* simply to have them in the movie. It does nothing with them. You could remove them and the story would be the same. The climate change thing seems like an after thought added at the end to rile up the late adopters, but it doesn't have anything to do with the antagonism in the movie at all. The movie even fails at being a propaganda film.
