Yes, another movie of the category hard core fans of the genre will like it or at least they accept it as an average movie and that's it.The characters are not in a way specific and most what happens in predictable. There were one or two minor surprise turns, but in the end as there is a story that does not give to much potential for any highlight, you can guess how it ends.The characters were stereotypes. The academics and the girl.... well in a way also she was a stereotypeIf you love the genre and you are bored, you might want to watch it. But if you value your time, pick a different movie.

Splice satirically portrays the change in a compatible couple when they have a child. I felt sorry for the lead actors because during the first half of the movie they are acting their hearts out. The movie progresses toward greatness. They lose steam during their humiliating presentation of two globular growths that attack one another. There is charming inattention to estrogen and testosterone variance. The charming couple loses their charm as they confront the limitations of their parenting skills. They grow uglier as the movie progresses. Because this movie had such a promising start I am devastated by disappointment.

(Note: I'm feeling lazy and its 3 AM so I'm just gonna repost my thoughts from the message board.) This film is, well it's a sci-fi psychological/body horror drama film with heavy ("beating you over the head with it" some of the more critical might say) Freudian overtones and a "playing God" storyline. But it feels like a Cronenberg film to me in subject matter.Sarah Polley is very good in it. (I wish she'd act in more films) and Adrian Brody also puts in a good performance.The CGI is quite good. By mainstream cinema standards, it's a very weird film. For that reason I wouldn't recommend the film to just Joe Six Pack down the block. It's also best watched alone...because a few scenes would just be really awkward to watch with other people.

I like part of movie. Vizuals and CGI (and sometimes practical) effects are pretty good. Colors and stylization are awesome. Vincenzo Natali (Cube, Cypher) is great director, but script always feels like something from B-Movie. Shots are always look wonderful, but there is never message behind them. It's good to look at this movie, but there are too much plot holes and clichés to really love this movie. Seriously why would somebody named science lab NERD? And why Dren changed gender for last 10 minutes? I really like drowning scene in lab. (well shot, with great emotions) and scene where we first meet a Dren. I didn't like a soundtrack, it seems to me i heard it a lot of times before. It feels so stereotypical. I enjoyed movie, but I don't have any idea why i should want to see it again.
