At some time in the future experiments are carried out on DNA modification,
intended to be used as a cure for all illnesses, but with potential as a
weapon. A fire breaks out in the laboratory, unleashing diseases that wipe out
most of humanity. One of the remaining cities is Olympia, surrounded by high
man-made walls to keep anyone out who isn't genetically pure. There are DNA
hackers who use stolen technology to kill by changing a person's DNA. Michelle
is an assassin who's hired to assassinate the DNA hackers. She wants to save
enough money to move to a better city. Her problem is her younger brother
Jackie, who loses all their money gambling.
Jackie breaks into a neighbour's apartment, looking for money. He steals a
strange device, not knowing what it is. It's a Transponder, a device that can
carry out pure DNA modifications. It's the last one in existence after the
fire, so people come looking for Jackie, and Michelle has to protect him.
I've often expressed my dislike for post-apocalyptic films, and this is one of
the worst I've seen. The plot is hardly feasible, the flying steamships
are improbable, the picture is murky, and the CGI effects are poor quality. I
felt like turning the film off, but I somehow held out till the end.
My two star rating is generous, but I like bad girls with guns.
I can't recommend the film to anyone.
In America and Germany the film has been released as "The Gene Generation".
