A conventionally-born person hides in a society of engineered supermen.
Boring, and hopelessly in love with its own half-baked ideas. Niccol's idea of developing those ideas is to add more and more blunt metaphors, and not care that the movie does not work on a literal level. Lots of stuff happens

which in a competently-written movie would be the elements of the plot, but in this movie, those things have almost no consequences. The characters must have been written by someone who's heard of human beings, but has never actually seen one in person. And the actors seem as bored with this movie as I am.Concept: C
