User Reviews

Excellent movie, at least not a violent one

I think the movie was excellent, it was not violent for starters compared to other recent movies.

Wheaton plays the part of a man who has been 'stitched' together like humpty dumpty, well from the remains of many dead persons. The problem starts when he starts remembering how they died and lots of other memories they had. Nia Peeples is great in the movie, as is Wheaton.

The movie reminds us, not to play with nature, not to "play God" with life. What God creates we shouldn't manipulate for our own egoistical interest such as creating super-soldiers which was what the movie was about.

Great sci-fi movie, unfortunately it was shown at 1.30am last night on tv!
