To e_baker: Well, maybe you should try to figure out why most people found this film to be (as least) a good one, and not "horribly written, and horribly everything " like you thought. Granted, the end has been seen profusely in other horror/scifi films. Granted, not every detail concerning the lab was taken care of. But..this is a movie!...And a movie is not always real life (those are called documentaries, BTW). To everyone: This films succeeds in delivering an amazing blend of humor, science, special fx (very, very well done), sensuality, biology, suspense, entertainment...how about that?. The very great and creative design of the creature (and its development from early age to further in time) is already a call to watch something NEW and very creative and artistic. I never really cared too much for Adrien Brody (I am rather sick of his hairdo), but Sarah Polley is a first-rate actress and here she remains in her standards. The cinematography, color, general sceneries and digital effects are beautifully done. The core of the story (though not original) has some twists here. Still, there ARE implications in the script as to where are molecular biology and genetic manipulation going to. In this little almost bed-time story, there's a lot of food for thought concerning the latter issues, and concerning the various ways (around nine, right now, I guess) a child can be born *wihout* any sex nor emotional and/or physical connection between their parents involved. This is certainly gruesome!. I saw many metaphors in the film related to what I just said. All in all, this is a wonderful "have-to-watch" and later on discussed on film.
