It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

We loved this movie and were really bummed when they didn't go to series. Really wish the Sci-fi channel would pick it up and run with it. The story line is good. It takes place in the future after a youth drug goes wrong. The youth drug was suppose to be a fountain of youth, but for most people it mutated them into violent creatures. Now the remaining people who have not been affected by the drug live in a secured city were they are trying to find a cure for the mutation. The city is pretty advanced with a force field protecting it, teleportation via telephone and a pretty advanced tracking system. Also everyone who lives there have a crystal implant that lets everyone know who is genetically compatible, so as not to breed any more mutants.They characters are pretty good too, there is Greg 23 who is a clone and has like 30 siblings that all look like him and every one of them has some sort of flaw. Then there is Lt. Mindy who is half rec (mutant) he is pretty much human with the exception that his features are strong and angular and he is very strong. Pretty much most of the characters are likable it is a very good sci-fi and a movie you can watch several time and still enjoy.Hopefully it will be released onto DVD soon and maybe the Sci-fi channel will buy the rights and make it into a series. We always wondered what would have become of the everyone and how they would have evolved.

Although it was a low budget film, it had a great concept and reminded me of some oldies but goodies that I re-watch occasionally (Genesis II, Planet Earth, Damnation Alley, Ultimate Warrior etc). The casting was pretty good and there was some real chemistry between the actors. Special effects are about what you expect from the low budget but did not distract from the film. The folks that really disliked it probably are not big fans of the low budget "B" sci-fi type films and may like the big budget blockbuster flicks at the theater that have the backing for better scripts and effects. I am glad that I had the chance to tape it from a TV broadcast. Hopefully, it was not edited too much. I am having a friend dub it on to a DVD for me so it will keep it's quality in my library and not deteriorate. Any "B" sci-fi fans out there will enjoy watching this. I would have really liked to see it released as a series, just to see where the writers wanted to go with the basic idea.

For the year this movie was made the CGI was good. The over all plot was great but it was missing some things I would like to have seen. I hope it comes to DVD real fast. I am always looking for it on TV. It shows what could happen if man found the fountain of youth, and the monsters it creates. Were there is a law were being intimate with the wrong person is illegal. In a time in the future were cloning is legal V.R. is real. Transportatin via phone line is like walling through a door. this movie is for the people who like sci-fi but no real action. This movie could almost be a look into the future. All the stuff in the movie could have in the not so distance future so watch out people.

On second thought, that would be cruel. It's a big nothing of a movie with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Violent mutants, brought about by the side effects of some heart medication, threaten the existence of the title city and instead succeed in torturing anyone who sits through this sorry excuse for a made-for-tv movie. So lame, it actually hurts. The only advantage for me was that I caught it on tv rather than being suckered into throwing away money to rent it at Blockbusters, so consider yourself warned.Rating: NO STARS out of *****
