I actually just got back from seeing this movie tonight. It was much better than I expected, and didn't realize that it was directed by the same guy who did Cube. I can see a similar sense of humor between the two.
I really liked how the movie didn't take itself too seriously. It understood that the subject matter of the film was kind of campy, and did a really good job running with it while still maintaining a more serious tone to the film.
I agree with you though, I felt like the ending was a little rushed and sadly seems to leave things open to be solved in a sequel, even though I think this movie would be just fine as a one shot.
The main thing I didn't like about it was the whole "crazy mother" side story. It was played up so much that Else (was that her name?) had this horrible mother who abused her and treated her like shit. Then it really only came into play for one scene in the movie, then she just went right back to caring for Dren. I felt like that whole aspect was really interesting, and could have been explored more.
Great movie nonetheless, with an amazing art direction.

Doesn't a movie in the past say....1960's something whatever follow a similar theme EXACTLY the same way?
I think it was an episode of the Twilight Zone or something I saw on the SciFi channel.
Either way, I wasn't interested in seeing the movie because I felt the theme was done before.
I've studied the possibilities of creating a quote "super-human" and I cannot really see how one can alter human DNA to the extent of a monster.
MORE than likely, according to the college tour guides of La Serria Medical University, a test tube created human would more than likely wither and become unstable and fall appart....literally!
No one can truly make a artificial womb.
Alterations however with a female volunteer is the way to go. But the risks of both child and mother dying are high, it's still an slow process.
I do see this movie being a classic for horror fans and science fiction fans.
But knowing what I know, it can see that this is science fiction bullshit.

you just rendered your whole comment pointless with your last sentence. Science 'fiction'. dude it's fiction. the whole point it getting a concept or possibility and playing with it. You're missing out on a good story by discarding something for its impossibility. I never found that to be a sturdy argument for anything story related. This movie isn't an article in the news paper. It's a fabrication. What it's trying to say through this fabrication is what matters. I hate quoting this because it sounds so pompous by 'artists use lies to tell the truth.'
