A genetically inferior man assumes the identity of a superior one in order to pursue his lifelong dream of space travel.

I like it when futuristic movies are only a little futuristic. There’s no flying cars or robots or things like that. Technology has advanced but humanity has faltered somehow. People without perfect genetic structure are outcasts and considered unfavorable. 

This is one of those movies who I feel is good despite its failure at the box office. Maybe the title or the stark nature of the trailer turned people off. Maybe there aren’t enough explosions? I’m not exactly sure. But it is a good movie. 

There are some extremely tame sex scenes that don’t really show anything and a few expletives. Lots of blood. Mostly in blood bags in a refrigerator.  Very much a recommendation.
