Featured review
Fascinating topic. Horrid execution
This documentary was all over the place. Ultimately, very unsatisfying.
In some kind of movie format, we jump back and forth in time.
It felt like we actually know little of what happened with the forging of the research. Either that or the makers of the documentary didn't understand.
Overall, a poor execution, which is a shame given the importance of the subject.
The scenes with the gay dude who cloned his dog was pathetic, and reflected poorly on people who actually love their dogs and have the means to clone them.
The UAE part was interesting but cartoonish as well with some Arab wearing sunglasses in a dark lab, with no satisfying explanation of what the doctor is doing there.
Super underwhelming. Poorly researched and executed.
