this movie is actually supposed to be pretty good, but i'm sure most won't like it.

reason being- the ads. they're trying to sell it as a horror movie, which, from what i've read, it clearly is not.

If it's some kind of societal implications of screwing with cloning or genetics in a sci-fi kind of way I'm sure I'd love it. Having some kick ass creation show us just how weak we really are would be icing on the cake.

It's the guy that did Cube and Cypher, so I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and try it out. Those movies were very far from perfect, but were decent sci-fi fun. Better cast here, so I have hopes for something good.

I always love how these types of experiments end with some super intelligent killing machine. Like our first attempts are doing something like this wouldnt end with some stupid hybrid who can barely wipe its own ass.

how much tv are you watching that you could see this trailer 100 times?

At least Alien Resurrection got that part right.

watching, like, 3-5 one hour shows a week is probably enough to see an overplayed movie trailer 100 times. figure once per commercial break, about eight per show, trailers have been playing for weeks...

Congrats... you just hyped this more than any commercial ever could for me. I loved the cube.

65 reviews at rotten tomatoes. 68%. Should be under 50% by the end of the weekend.

that's pretty good by me. 80-90% is probably a critically acclaimed pile of shit, the 0-40% is usually critically panned for good reason, and that leaves 50-70% as the good meaty 'probably watchable' range.
