Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
torstensonjohn Splice is a Sci-Fi based film with supposed horror involved. There is no horror, just science based theme with utilization of DNA to manipulate nature. Two carefree scientists Brody and Polley who inject human DNA into a hybrid and come up with a part human, part reptile, part amphibious flying creature. Polley's character Elsa becomes so overly attached that it is scary.It's a well paced film with an unorthodox script detailing the growth of this hybrid and how it affects the tow scientist's lives. Throughout the film the focus is on the creature aptly named Dren and how it progresses. Greg Nicotero (TWD) had his hands in the design of the creature which is actually very well done.The film itself is carried by the story of how to have composite DNA interjected with other hybrids to create proteins or other chemical compounds to ward of or fight disease. I like the film, BUT there are flaws as it is predictable, little character development, but enjoyable nonetheless. I give it a solid 5/10
sage411 A pretty well done , low budget sci-fi film. It is always a bit more interesting whe sci-fi doesn't head right out of our own solar system or time period. This one relates a bit what actually goes on right now here on this planet. Research for drug 'n such comes from all kinds of thing we probably don't really want to know about. This is very much about that. This was worth the few bucks I paid to own my copy.
stefan_papp Yes, another movie of the category hard core fans of the genre will like it or at least they accept it as an average movie and that's it.The characters are not in a way specific and most what happens in predictable. There were one or two minor surprise turns, but in the end as there is a story that does not give to much potential for any highlight, you can guess how it ends.The characters were stereotypes. The academics and the girl.... well in a way also she was a stereotypeIf you love the genre and you are bored, you might want to watch it. But if you value your time, pick a different movie.
Liju James Splice is one of the best science fiction movies I have seen. Although being more a fan of space expeditions and this movie belongs to the advanced genetic engineering genre, it indeed captivated me for the full duration of the movie. The story is brilliant, but personally I feel the climax could have been much better. The last five minutes changed the flow of the story and took it to another level, a notch below where it should have actually gone. I was really confused about what actually happened. Though Elsa tells in a few words about what had happened, it was hard for me to digest it for some time. The movie raised more questions than answers by the time I completed watching. May be that itself was the purpose of the film. Then again, the closing scene was a relief. Overall I give 8/10 for the story, the flow, the effects and the characters - especially Dren!
