2093 A Creation Odyssey

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2012)

Having read through a few hundred of the reviews on this it would seem prudent to state up front my misgivings. While I agree with some of the statements about the writing and others about the stupidity, I must say that this is still magnificently spellbinding! Have not felt this great of "mystery excitement" since 2001 A Space Odyssey in late 60's. Some parts were not clear to me, but the overall theme was enthralling. It was actually insulting to see "Alien" horror in this as it is so cerebral the horror seemed out of place. One bit of stupidity on the biologist's part is unforgivable. When the biologist is attempting to "pet" the embryo-Suppositor you feel like giving a Darwin award when he gets thrashed. I thought the holographs were interesting but a little annoying. One would think that beings capable of creating WMD Aliens would make clear playbacks, not ghostly outlines. This movie was cool beyond belief!
