Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

I saw WOMB movie. It is not the movie for all people. It is not a movie for weak hearted. It is not a movie for religious bigots. It is not a movie for normal people who can't think beyond mind...A 8 year old girl comes on a vacation to her grandfather's house near the beach. She makes friends with a boy of same age. When she departs, the boy promises her to come and see her off, but never comes. After ten years the girl comes back and meets the boy. In love of the boy, she has waited 10 years. In 3 days the boy dies in an accident in front of the girl. Her life's desire to be with the boy remains unfulfilled. As it is a futuristic movie, there is a possibility that she takes of cloning he boy in her womb. What happens after that forms the remainder of the story.Is it ethical? Is it moral? Should science allow cloning? The ending is something that not many (only a few) will digest. For weak heart, narrow mind, conservatives, it is hard to see the movie. So the question is are you liberal enough to at least see the movie? A different story?I liked it. Story was original and unique. Eva Green as the main protagonist is able to portray the character of 18 years to 35 years. And Matt Smith plays the role of Thomas (who dies in an accident) and Rebecca's son Tommy with great ease and energy. The writer, director Benedek Flegraul has done a wonderful job in tackling a taboo sci-fi subject on conveying the romantic emotional turmoil of characters involved into cloning. Special mention of cinematography by Péter Szatmári - it was outstanding.If you are sensitive, and liberal to the core, this movie is for you.(7 out of 10 stars)

This movie delivers everything I seek in cinema: Entrancing cinematography, engaging direction, stirring of emotions and challenging themes. It's beautiful, intense and had me engrossed throughout. The cold, stark and stunning set locations are as much a part of the story telling as the dialogue is, serving to enrich the feelings and situations conveyed by the characters. It is a quiet film filled with visual beauty and soul. This is one of those rare movies that pulls you into another world, one which lingers and haunts you long after the movie has ended. I watched this film yesterday and am already wanting to revisit it.Certain scenes made me feel uneasy, but rightfully so, given the subject matter. The sensitive story-line is conveyed well by all involved, enabling the viewer to empathise with both of the main characters rather than feeling alienated from them, which was a possibility with such a story-line. I think it was a clever move to not linger upon or delve much into the complexities of the actual cloning process and instead focus on the lives and emotions of the characters before and after that event. The film would have benefited from further developing the love formed between the two main characters as children so as we can better appreciate the intensity of their feelings when they meet again as adults. The director has said that they spent the whole summer together as children, yet this is not evident in the film. Still, I don't believe the movie suffered from this lapse as the acting by Eva Green is strong enough to convey her character's intensity and give reason to the choices she made.The topic of human cloning is a controversial and complex one and in this day and age is not as much science-fiction as it is a genuine possibility in our future. A fictional, two hour film cannot hope to provide any real answer to any of the concerns posed by such a topic, but what this film manages to do is take on some emotional aspects of the topic and turn them into a haunting and thoughtful work of art. 9/10.

This film is so weird and abnormal. I don't think I've ever seen a film that's as weird as this one. But, the film is also great! It really makes you think about the moral implications of cloning. For this reason, I also think that the film is awesome.Matt's acting is superb and completely convincing. You really feel for his character. Eva Green's performance is heartbreaking.The film made me laugh and cry. I have had long discussions about this film with many of my friends for weeks after seeing it. The film is definitely a talking point. It sparked rife debate between me and my friends which not many films can do so thank you.To be honest, I feel that there is only one word that can properly sum up my feelings about this film. This film is 100% abnosome.

This is a sparse and beautifully filmed sci-fi drama, very much along the lines of Never Let Me Go.The subject matter makes this an uncomfortable film to watch and it is almost unrelentingly bleak. The dark tone of the film is augmented by the stunning cinematography which were the highlight of the film for me.The performances are only so so. I am not a fan of Matt Smith who is merely adequate. Eva Green does a better job as the mother/girlfriend. The rest of the cast are good but are given very limited screen time.The film doesn't really go anywhere but for me it never got boring. It does raise some interesting questions about cloning without ramming them down your throat.It was a much better film than I thought it would be and if you don't mind slow moving drama is well worth a watch.
