Fantastical

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2019)

When I saw it, I wanted to be in high technology. When he spoke to the computer and instructing it to move, zoom in, left, right, print.... I ended up eventually doing the same things in my line of business. At first not as fancy, then we just made leaps over what was fantasy in that movie. We are still working on the genetics aspect. My job takes me to places that amazing young people work on applications that seem unrealistic to me. Person specific medication is one. No longer needing to take medicine with side effects or too much of one chemical and too little of the other. Laser sharp medication is more like it. Based on your DNA and anything that makes you what you are chemically, a mixture of medication with exact doses of each ingredient will be produced and it will target the problem that you have. Instead of a shotgun approach. I am told that it's not there yet for mental health issues but it works on addiction. Mental health issues are another category in themselves. Probably 30 years from now one of these people told me. Maybe never she said. If it is so darn complicated I wonder if there is hope for the poor souls living every day of their lives with one for or another of anxiety. Like the characters in this movie. The poor replicas did not even have a say in their existence. No different than us really. But their lives came with an expiration date. Ours is a highway that we take and choose when to get gas, pee or what sideroads to take. Much different.
