The idea man's
capacity might create life is older than Frankenstein; it's Biblical.
But recently, the concept man might fashion a consciousness to
inhabit that life rises to center-stage.
Over the century, many
stories explored the implications of this feat. Today, Alex Garland's
directorial debut is an exquisite argument over the foundation of
conscious motivation. This dark and often jarring journey explores
life's most basic need – survival. There is no ultimate answer, nor
a tidy ending. But what this film provides is a deep understanding of
what it means to be alive.
Watch this film because it is written,
directed, and produced as a great roller-coaster ride. There are
moments of gasping surprise as well as respites of intellectual
rigor. And when the cars finish the cerebral-circuit to return home,
the passengers arrive, irrevocably changed.
