Written by Paul WS Anderson who dd Soldier and Event Horizon, and all the Resident Evil movies. I hope it doesn't suck.
 
Saw it last night, really enjoyed it.
I wish they went more into the sci fi of it. More about the aliens and their culture.
What bothered me the most was they didn't address why Mickey 18 was so drastically different than 17. Different voice. More aggressive. They did nothing to establish difference between the clones except one line about #3 being whiney and #8 being stupid but #18 was like a different person and it wasn't justified in the story.

That would have been cool for sure.
 
Just watched Adolescence on Netflix. So well done. All the acting is top level but the performance by the kid in the main role is absolutely incredible. Sort of like watching some of the wunderkind videos of 12 year old bass players with incredible chops but he has such depth, range and 'maturity' to the performance.


I read it's the kid's very first role as well.

That's on the docket for tonight... Love love love Stephen Graham.

As I noted in the Star Trek thread, I just finished Deep Space Nine (in entirety) and *really* liked it. How does Babylon 5 compare? I've never seen any of it so I'd be diving in without knowing anything about it except that some people compare it favorably with DS9.

The guy who created it thinks DS9 ripped him off. They have their similarities. Babylon 5 is great. It's basically one continuous story from beginning to end, with wild tangents with some tv movies. It's more epic with more colorful characters that you get to really know well.
