Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Harold Boss It's amazing that none of the cast or crew noticed that they were using a primitive first draft instead of a polished story. Somehow they made a whole movie without noticing how weak the story was. There were a few good ideas but the whole thing needed to be reworked several times over until it became half-way presentable.The background society doesn't feel plausible enough. Astonishing things happen in this dystopian world and there isn't much rhyme or reason to it.How does the empathy virus work? It seems to give him telepathic powers. How can there be an counter-empathy-virus-virus? It feels more like magic than science fiction. In science fiction there needs to be some attempt at explaining the purpose or function of the new technology.If there are really so many clones in the world that there are entire government departments designed to prevent incest, then how come nobody in the movie looks the same? Did I miss something? Also why would they knowingly populate the world with clones and not realize that incest was going to be a problem? Why does he seem to allow Maria to make the somnambulistic phone call? Why does he casually rush into an affair with this woman? If it is supposed to be intense attraction why are the actors so nonplussed about it all? Also the relationship is creepy. The story would work with star-crossed lovers of similar age and prospects. But the William character is older, more powerful and already married. It feels like he is taking advantage of her. It's not clear why she would fall for him.I could go on and on but there are really too many inexplicable things in this story to point out. Basically my critique is WHY? do things happen the way they do in this world - there doesn't seem to be any reason for the government to pursue these bizarre policies.

SnoopyStyle The world is split between cities under totalitarian control and the desert outside where the poor without papers struggle to live. William Geld (Tim Robbins) is sent to Shanghai to investigate forged papers. Maria Gonzalez (Samantha Morton) works at a company creating the papers and is the prime suspect. Code 46 prohibits reproduction due to genetic similarities. He follows her and they start an affair.It feels a little like 'Blade Runner' with the language amalgam, futuristic dystopia, and dark ethical dilemmas. It is inferior by comparison. The movie is trying to be exotic simply by filming in these foreign locations. It fails to be futuristic. A little background CGI would go a long way. The ethical question is a little confused and messy. Honestly, I don't feel the romantic chemistry between William and Maria. I wonder if Maria is playing William or William is taking advantage of Maria. I'm simply not invested in their relationship.

poppad46 A very atmospheric, futuristic romance. A combination of many genres from sic-fi, to romance, to a somewhat post apocalyptic world where big government controls who can mate with whom and where government can erase peoples thoughts as well as dictate where they live. Also, who can resist a young woman tied to a bed with hairy armpits and a bald vagina! My have! Anyways, I digress. As many other reviewers have mentioned it has a Bladerunner kind of feel to it although it is a much brighter and sunnier movie. It is a very well written and well acted movie that makes you think. Whenever people are told what to do, in general most people will do what they are told for a while but eventually someone will challenge authority and although they will initially fail, eventually a groundswell of popular dissent will take place that leads to change, revolution, etc...

shinsrevenge Code 46 is difficult to judge. Tim Robbins does a good job. Every minute with him is worth watching it. Samantha Morton is at the beginning the exact opposite. Her (at least in German) boring, emotionless voice draws the mood down. She looks quite often directly into the camera and that makes the movie look like a cheap homemade video. The toilet scenes with her where very needless. Did they add them for more authenticity? It doesn't upvalue the movie in any way.The story is somewhat interesting. It helps pass the time. Especially after about half of the time, thanks to her amnesia, her acting gets better and so does the movie. Near the end, it even has some unexpected plot turns.Concluding I can say about Code 46, that it starts out weak, gets average and ends rather good. That's enough for 6 stars.
