Saw an advance screening today, and I have to give the movie a solid 6 or 7 out of ten (probably an 8 for a sci-fi/thriller movie).
First, it should be known that me and my girlfriend both left the theater with a sick feeling in our stomach. The movie pushed the limits when it came to the human's comfort zone in the field of sexuality. There's some graphic and scenes, but at the same time there are scenes that were supposed to be terrifying and instead were flat out ridiculous (the audience was laughing - maybe the scene was intended as such). The ending was unexpected because you get distracted with so much other things, but when it does happen you can quickly recollect as to why it did and it makes sense (unlike most other movies).
The movie stars Adrien Brody (King Kong, The Pianist) and Sarah Polley (main girl from Dawn of the Dead); their creation is played by this good-looking lady, Delphine Chanéac..
If you're a fan of sci-fi movies in general then this movie will be entertaining to you no doubt. Others may not like it so much, especially if you're squeamish. Or if you're just curious about what the dangers of splicing are (and yes splicing has been practiced for several years now), especially with human DNA, then definitely watch this movie.
Wait a minute what? A movie that makes me feel "sick"?!? Now thats what the world needs more of. If ive noticed any trend in modern movies its that there isnt enough stuff coming out that makes you "sick".
Asinine... nothing in this movie could ever happen. My friends and I plan to start a boycott in our town not to see this movie. Alot of the crap in the preview is forgivable, even though so many things are entirely wrong... but it's when they show cells growing super fast as a plot device that it crosses the line into pure ridiculous fantasy. And the last thing we need right now is more anti-genetics fearmongering.

So can mis-pipetting. The difference is that in the latter all trailerpark boys don't assume that the scientist will make some kind of doomsday device.
I saw this one in a preview. The first 30minutes it was OK a little boring with the whole science ethics talk like:"what is science allowed to do?where are the boundaries?are there any?"wich i thought was a pretty dead discussion. But after 30 minutes it just gets better and it turns youre world upside down while thinking about the topic.I don´t kno i was just blown away after leaving the cinema.
Maybe you can go see it in a double header with The Human Centipede. Sounds like a good way to enjoy life.
Btw, I see what you're doing:

is that movie out, because that looks insane. I would never see it the trailer was enough for me, they actually showed the damn human centipede in the trailer I watched. But I agree between those two movies you would probably leave feeling "sick" and thinking what could actually be possible.
Looked conceptually good. While a few idiots may be swayed into thinking it's a legitimate risk of genetic research there will always be idiots and I don't care what they think.
