it starts bad. opening a clothed body. right. and the two observers are clearly disturbed by the scene, yet they don't leave despite the lack of armed guards. i'm sure there is an explanation, only the explanation should come before the scene, and not after. and sometimes the explanation comes after the show has ended as the reasoning of some fan that wants to fix the crap show. it goes on worse: much talk, generic images. what's worse, it's the same idiotic hollywood stock: lab coat means you are smart, tubes and supports means ”research”, working nights means you are ready for a break through. oh, and they need magical visual clues because the acting is so bad. yea, the casting is bad, and the actors are not up to the task.

Destroyed by the casting If you don't have the budget for A-list actors, then at least type-cast them well enough that they can deliver their lines as they would in real life. But even though I found the concept interesting enough, I just couldn't get over the bad cast. The only thing that somewhat worked was the sarcasm from Tilda, but others happily destroyed their lines or did them over the top, like "villain" Dr. Alex Sarkov. None of the emotions worked, not even the reconcilliation between the two brothers. Better to skip this.
