Don't Believe the Hype

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

12/7/17. An interesting documentary that looks at all forms of human enhancement. Of course, one has to wonder how far human enhancement should go given that the Technology will eventually make anything possible. When we have gene editing, what is left that cannot be changed? Remember what the Bionic Man's Oscar Goldman said, "We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster." (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071054/quotes) Then again, all those people who have had plastic surgery think they are fine examples of the promises of human enhancement, and we know most end up as permanent disasters. Nevertheless, this documentary is worth watching just to remind us that we should be grateful for what we have and not be too greedy for what we don't.
