Actually- This Movie Way Ahead Of Its Time- Better than Lucy


They said in the screen test showings- This Movie actually tested Off The Charts- Higher Than The Departed, Jurassic Park, Equal to Star Wars... The problem- it dealt with culturally risqué topic and undefined as entertainment by politically correct issues of the ethics of Cloning. It's got action, sci-fi, humor, drama, intrigue, and very fun plot line. Fantastic Escape and Ride- and it's got Scar Jo- maybe 20 looking good, too. Not much else can be packed into a movie more than this? Watch it. And Lead male, lost out couple years ago to Leonardo DiCap for movie of same title The Island... He was furious and wanted to do this to out-do the other movie to show his Name sells more tickets- can read more on google... Great movie.

Not ahead of its time. It borrowed plot points from movies 30 years old. Maybe even older.
