Go Behind the Scenes of Splice!

While it might not boast the astronomical budget of several upcoming would-be blockbusters, Vincenzo Natali's (Cube) new sci-fi thriller, Splice, might just become the sleeper hit of the summer. The film stars Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley as ambitious scientists who take on the incredible experiment of splicing together human and animal DNA to create a new organism. Unfortunately, the resulting hybrid, a rapidly evolving creature they name "Dren," soon becomes more dangerous than they ever imagined. This strikingly original movie has already accumulated much positive buzz and early rave reviews. With its innovative special effects and thought-provoking premise, could Splice be this year's District 9? In this short MakingOf.com featurette, stars Brody, Polley and producer Guillermo Del Toro discuss the movie, which hits theaters June 4.

I have watched the movie and I was really impressed. Could it really be possible for human cloning to become real? Would this eliminate all sickness? This movie really intrigued me.

I love watching science fictions and Splice really catch my attention. It has a futuristic setting and it conveys alternative possibilities. I remember during the Millionaire Mind Seminar when one speaker talks about how he dislike sci fi movies.

Splice was a movie that had a lot of promise. It seemed to be building towards something special, but got lost in an unnecessary plot thread that didn’t quite work towards the end. THis specific plot started with a scene involving the creature and the character played by Adrian Brody, and it was a scene that didn’t quite work because there wasn’t enough of a build up towards something like that happening. Sure there were some scenes leading towards that, but in my opinion those scenes were not enough to take such a major step forward, not after he first showed disgust towards the creature at the earlier phases of its development. On top of that the movie goes even farther into absurdity at the conclusion, involving the character played by Sarah Polley and the creature again, taking much of the intelligence of the film out of the equation.

In my opinion, the director was onto something in the beginning but then took the story into an unnecessary direction that might’ve still worked if there had been some real build up to those points which led to the conclusion. Sure there were some signs, but really not enough. Instead the movie ends in what can only be called a total WTF moment, and it doesn’t work at all. Not a horrible movie, but only average and not recommended.

Adrien Brody is a very nice actor. His films are nearly always very good. I can recommend from him The Experiment, The Pianist, The Village. If you have time you must see one of them.
