I went into this film relatively blind, not having seen the trailer and only having read the one sentence plot summary. I'm not going to try to put my own version of the plot summary in here as I can't say I truly followed what was going on, but its something to do with body parts and changes to human physiology in a dystopian future.
As I mentioned in my review title, this film is quite incomprehensible. Now I completely get that a film doesn't need to spoon feed the audience everything and gives their intelligence some credit, and not everything even needs a nice tight explanation. The problem with this film is that its gone too far in the other direction, where too little is explained, and so many things are just so plain weird that they make no sense at all. In fact very little in this film makes much sense and there are so many bizarre occurances that come out of nowhere.
Although the special effects are good, the film is let down by the dialogue being mumbling, which makes a difficult to follow/understand film even worse. The effect of all this is that I at least felt no emotional connection to anything in the film, it just sort of happened before my eyes, but as nothing really made sense, then I didn't really care for any of the characters or story. It was just dull.
I have no idea where the film seemed to get its high Rotten Tomatoes score, its really not worth it.
