everything was terrific except...

Rating: 3/10 (30 December 2006)

Excellent special effects, effective story telling, and terrific performances from Julianne Moore, Michael Caine, and Clive Owen.
What went wrong? Well, there's the thinly veiled political message that homeland security is turning western society into a police state. And beyond that, what is the story? Not much. Do we know why human reproduction has stopped? No. Do we know why they government is attempting to deport illegal aliens? No. Do we know why "the human project" is something better? No.
We pretty much don't know anything, except that homeland security is bad, and the government is abusing illegal immigrants. If that is the point of the movie, you can keep it. I would like to have a story. And something that is politically neutral.
