User review:

No pun intended – with all the cloning going on … it might just be a matter of time, that some of what we see in this movie actually happens. Of course this is more than just our animalistic side – hidden inside us, now quite obvious (at least in the movie). It also shows how we discriminate – against anything we deem … not “normal”. Who decides what is normal you ask? Good question … it changes and shifts a lot.

The acting is really good and the effects are great too. The movie works really good and the ideas are well done. Also it may have the best class room dynamic scene you have seen in a while … realistic while being fantastic? Yes it is possible .. see this movie for more …
