Rating: 9/10 (13 January 2007)

Well, it is really, really, really gory and gross. I little too gross for some people, but I still enjoy watching this film. If you look past all of the horrifying and gross and gory moments, you will find phenomenal performances by Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis. When I first heard about this film I thought it was just going to be a cheap and terrible remake of the original 1958 the Fly, but Cronenberg gave this film a really unique and original feel to this. I was really impressed by this film.
Here is the plot of this movie. It has the basic structure, but it is really different. A scientist named Seth Brundle invents a teleportation device that can, well, telport things. Reporter Veronica Quaife documents Seth's story. They fall in love. Then one night Seth goes in a telepod and a fly goes inside the telepod too. Seth slowly starts to turn into a human fly. He becomes stronger, he can climb on walls, his body parts are falling off, and more. Seth leaves Veronica, or Ronnie, for a woman named Tawny. He leaves Tawny and tries to get with Ronnie again. Then Ronnie finds out that she is pregnant. She wants an abortion. Yeah, Seth is not to happy about that. He kidnaps her and takes her to his laboratory. He tries to get her into a telepod, and Seth becomes a human fly guy. He begs Ronnie to kill him. She does.
Overall, this may be a really gross film, but it had terrific acting and the ending is really tragic and sad. I mean, the scientist is the original was okay. Oh, what, he was killed? Nevermind. Anyway, pretend you never read that and just remember to try to look deep down inside this film and look at the sad and tragic structure, the great acting, and a great score by Howard Shore.
9/10
