5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars....or 5 Question marks? I still love it.
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2015
Verified Purchase
When watching this movie, there are some disturbing visual scenery, cyber-punk dystopia and vague story graphs between the beginning and the ending. The visuals are soggy, gritty and mentally odiferous. So..." K.L. do you know that you gave it 5 stars?" That is the enigma of this film. It is hauntingly atmospheric. Bai Ling's performance shows such compassionate angst... such cold blooded indifference to being a semi sanctioned "hitman", (not to mention that odd but eerily attractive make-up) that it again, haunts me. I like the romance that develops in such a backward way...that is she is the "tough-guy" that eventually allows vulnerability to allow emotional attraction to give-in to suppressed passion. Some unexplained fate that happened to the parents of the heroin and her reckless younger brother is at once a bond and a point of contention but the two siblings obviously love each other, however not enough to overcome impulsiveness on her brother's part and her emotional concern for him. (Spoiler?) Then we have this killer, whose only regret after a hit, is that she has to shower off the blood... who weeps with authentic despair over her brother's habitual foolishness. In the end we look over a Blade Runner landscape (literally and figuratively) that calls us back to experience it again and some inexplicable time in the future, again. Now...all this verbal wandering on my part to this point... is admittedly psychobabble for "i don't know why...but this flick keeps calling me back."

5.0 out of 5 stars The Gene Generation
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2011
Verified Purchase
I think this is vastly underrated by many. Considering the budget they managed to create a visual and visceral masterpiece. It immediately made me recall the first time I saw  Blade Runner (Five-Disc Complete Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray ] in a theater in 1982. It was a movie ahead of its time and has become far more appreciated with age. When it was released many people didn't understand it or fully appreciate the visuals. Check old reviews and you will see it wasn't recieved that well by audiences and critics alike. Over time with more movies using this style it has become an icon. I think "The Gene Generation" will be as well in time, or at least I hope so. Whether or not it does I think there is true art of the cinema here. Masterful directing, excellent acting, gorgeous special effects, original storyline, and beautiful music make it well worth seeing. I intend to add it to my library. If I have anything to critique I probably would have changed the title slightly to make it sound less like a certain soft drink commercial. If you enjoyed this movie, be sure to see  Chronicles of Riddick [Blu-ray ].

3.0 out of 5 stars Good effort
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2010
Verified Purchase
Gene Generation is a good effort at a B-budget cyberpunk flick and being a fan of a genre I can appreciate that.

The set and scenery design is excellent and remains convincing also when filmed up close, which is rare. The art direction and especially the "moldy tech" feel is excellent and gives the film character. I really liked the character of Jackie, an antithesis to the normally superhuman characters found in this genre. Unfortunately the script feels like it was pieced together from three different versions. There are problems with continuity and things working differently from how they were explained before. While there are definite highlights in the dialogue and actor scenes, it is not enough to fix the disjointed feel of the story. As for actors, the main star Bai Ling is also the weakest link in the cast. Compared to even most of the side characters, her performance is stiff and shallow. She was clearly chosen for her looks (which are beyond reproach).

All in all, I give them a star for good effort, a star for art direction and set design and finally a third star for the script that while broken, still manages to rise above the average of this genre, largely due to ingenious use of character confrontations. If the story had made sense or the acting would have been more consistently good, I'd have easily given it one more star. In the stinking cesspool of B-scifi films, this is definitely one of the better ones. Then again, I am easy to please.

Note that the picture quality is surprisingly poor for a DVD-release. I wreaks havoc with the darker scenes, especially when showing someone's face up close.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definite Cult Classic
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2009
Verified Purchase
This film holds its own, stylistically. It's a solid cult classic. There's plenty that a person can criticize, about it -- plot inconsistencies, weak story line development (a significant part of the story is developed in the trailer-like sequence, at the start of the film, for instance), overall quality of performances -- but seriously, Ling Bai's performance carries this film.

It doesn't look like it was made to fit into the Academy, and that's well enough -- not every film needs to cater to the Academy.

This film is a brave work, imminently watchable (by adults, namely. Notice the rating). It's definitely a likable work, which could be regarded as being pretty rare, in it genre. For all the challenges of the work, it's never obnoxious.

It has a solid soundtrack, too -- solid, if you're a fan of Combichrist, which I happen to be.

This film is sure to become recognized as a cult classic. I'd recommend it as a dark-fun sort of sci-fi/horror flick, easily.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cyberpunk visuals and plot action movie
Reviewed in Australia on August 3, 2020

A futuristic city with Blade Runner style mean streets, markets, corporate overlords, and weather. Bai Ling is the professional assassin trying to escape a life of poverty, with her brother the fool who tries to rip off a gang lord. They cross paths with Alec Newman's scientist on the run, trying to protect his revolutionary genetic technology from corporate exploitation. Not very original, but I've seen much worse.

4.0 out of 5 stars Une bonne serie B ....
Reviewed in France on March 1, 2013

L'univers de ce métrage est très réussi .
Il est très riche visuellement et très fidèlement représentatifs des univers cyberpunks eurasiatiques et plus ou moins post-apocalyptiques , qu'évoquent certains romans de science-fictions , représentatifs de ce courant de la SF .

Le scénario est bien ficelé et le jeu des acteurs est correct .
Il y a une expressivité asiatique dans la prestation de certains comédiens .
C'est un code et que l'on aurait tort de prendre pour de la naïveté .

C'est une belle ballade vaguement cyberpunk , à la lisière du monde occidental et de l'asie ,
qui se mélangent agréablement dans ce film aussi visuellement réussi que agréable à arpenter .

Une bonne série B de SF pour les amateurs .

PS : Le scénario n'invente pas la poudre mais il est agréablement imprévisible .

5.0 out of 5 stars Great low budget modern sci fi.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 10, 2010
Verified Purchase
Fairly low budget but pretty good effects and atmosphere and 'feel' for all that. Actually one of the better cyberpunk films I have seen, yes the plot is a little silly here and there but its head and shoulders above most of them. Complaining and comparing it to Blade runner is like criticizing a sci-fi movie for having spaceships or robots or aliens (sheesh!). Cyberpunk is like goth style its black leather and shiny PVC and mesh and shiny black hair in bobs - run down places rain and a dark atmosphere are just part of the territory (as are airships carrying adverts).
Bai Ling as Michelle is wonderful and sexy and really good at carrying off the cyberpunk babe thing, but most of the other actors are pretty good too. If you know a lot of cyberpunk Parry Shen as Jackie Michelle's brother is the tragic doomed boy babe - another quintessential cyberpunk character. I liked it.

BTW would have given it four stars but felt I needed to counteract some of the low scores from non-fans of the genre!
