This 1992 Japanese film tells the story of a scientist who sets out to create the new "super Adam and Eve", humans who cannot be controlled by their emotions. Of course, the end result it not exactly what the good doctor expects.
comments from imdb:
This modern tale of an attempt to build a creature is one of the best "horror" films ever made, even if its not a horror film but something else entirely. Certainly its on my short list of all time great films.
This film was introduced to me by someone who told me "I have this film that probably one of the best films you'll ever see. It will move you and touch you and make you think, but if I told you what it is and told you how its done you will think its the stupidest thing on the face of it and you won't watch it." Intrigued I asked what did he mean, and he said, "Well its a Frankenstein story, with a very goofy sort of edge, but which uses it to its advantage." My ears perked up, and I being a trusting soul took the tape and watched it. I was blown away.
The plot concerns a mad scientist attempting to make a new Adam and Eve in the wake of a suicidal plague that is ravaging the world. Locked up in his lab his experiments go differently then either he or we expect. Some of it is silly (The bolts in the neck, the wrestling moves...), all of it is touching and thought provoking.
I can not recommend this movie enough. If you are willing to take the film on its terms and allow it to tell its story then I urge you to seek this film out and see it. This is an undiscovered gem that will stay with you forever.
15 out of 10 and then some. 10/10
Also known as "The Last Frankenstein", this is an extraordinary, impeccably produced horror film. Director Takeshi Kawamura uses Mary Shelley's novel as a mere launching pad for an exploration of subjects as diverse and fascinating as the nature of love, desire, suicide, mass hypnosis, sex, alienation and jealousy.
And though the film is dense with subtext, it is also stunningly photographed and rich in atmosphere and detail. The performances are all amazing and Kawamura's sensitive handling of the strange, delicate relationships between the characters results in an emotionally charged, angst-ridden tragedy.
The scenes of the confused, troubled monster hurtling through a fog-shrouded forest at night are memorable and striking, as is a brilliant home movie-style montage of the film's more curious characters enjoying a precious afternoon at the beach. Kawamura creates resonating visual poetry of horror and sadness barely sighted since Todd Browning's classic "Freaks".
Intelligent, emotional, tragic and real, this is an absolute gem. 9/10
有一说一艾默里奇“毁人不倦”脑洞确实是可以的，穿越月球部分看着还行了， 但是地球灾难部分就太陈词滥调了
地球月球都值得一救，唯独墨西哥后爹必须死是吧
罗兰埃默里奇的水平一贯很低，但本片甚至比一贯水平更低，角色、情节、对白都烂得一塌糊涂，三条线里军方线和平民线都应该直接删除。
确实太无聊了，坚持看了将近50分钟，实在是看不下去了，之前看过电视剧，就看了一下这个电影，没想到这么无聊。
开两倍速都嫌浪费时间…
地球月球都值得一救，唯独墨西哥后爹必须死是吧
唉，政治正确的美国大片就像要过广电审核一样难看！这次雷克萨斯还真是大金主！
为了看吉吉国王 还特意充了会员看的 挺搞笑的 拍的挺好 喜欢
两星给特效。
电影院除了我们一家三口还有一个闲着无聊打发时间的老哥 一个人浪费两个小时四个人就是八个小时 为这八个小时感到可惜
也就比流浪地球难看25块5毛钱的吧，毕竟只花了26块票钱。
我可以接受月球是科技造物的设定，甚至喜闻乐见，但全片还是拍得像是闹着玩一样。WOT
抛开剧情，特效和月球设定还是很不错的，电影院看真的很震撼。如果电影直接快进到进入太空、月球的部分会是很不错的灾难片。
月球偏离轨道，地球即将灭亡。倒霉男女主开着破飞船前去猎杀月球上的大怪兽！结果发现月球居然是“祖先人类”和发疯AI对抗的高科技基地。总之最后一番骚操作，拯救了地球…
可视作赘婿的番外篇，本来营养不多，是典型的屌丝逆袭爽片，而番外则更用力在「情」上，经商爽感削弱不少。
惊喜的是这种类型片固定的美式家庭戏控制得很巧妙，及时得穿插有用的信息和大场面保持应有的紧迫感，艾默里奇依旧能打的调度能力。但第三幕彻底垮掉了，设定、美术风格、情节甚至精确到分镜还在重复26年前《独立日》的老梗，重复到不是致敬几乎是照抄。我很欣赏它在灾难片已经没落的今天迎难而上，但我又恨它和诸多好莱坞大制作一样不思进取老想着那些陈年馊饭。
感觉感情线写的还蛮爽的，谁不想和貌美大小姐谈恋爱呢？尤其女主还这么漂亮，这个感情线还挺带感。
拍电影不能缺少资金，但不代表资本就可肆意羞辱电影及观众。
其实片子还可以，有想法，有世界观，戴森球爱好者狂喜。就是节奏不好、灾难的特效比较敷衍、科学bug一堆...不过这方面类似电影也做的都差不多了、双线叙事导演有点hold不住。其实好好拍的话还是挺宏大的一个故事，后面准备反击也是有些小期待的。爱手艺大师实至名归，修格斯的故事依然能打。
看演员表才知道里面那个中国人是于文文，可这个角色存在的必要是什么，是让中国提供相关设备的纽带，还是单纯因为华裔和腾讯？
