Fantastic!
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
12/7/17. An interesting documentary that looks at all forms of human enhancement. Of course, one has to wonder how far human enhancement should go given that the Technology will eventually make anything possible. When we have gene editing, what is left that cannot be changed? Remember what the Bionic Man's Oscar Goldman said, "We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster." (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071054/quotes) Then again, all those people who have had plastic surgery think they are fine examples of the promises of human enhancement, and we know most end up as permanent disasters. Nevertheless, this documentary is worth watching just to remind us that we should be grateful for what we have and not be too greedy for what we don't.
