The Gene Generation

In the futuristic world of Olympia, a city on the brink of destruction, a team of scientists discovers a way to instantly reconfigure human DNA so that all disease will come to an end. But even miracles come at a cost, and we'll find out if this new technology is actually a blessing or a curse. The DNA reconfiguration can save lives, but could potentially end them as well. Now, as the city is overtaken by gangsters and DNA Hackers, the only promise for a better life is with the right DNA. Michelle (Bai Ling), a seductive assassin whose mission is to take out these so-called DNA hackers, is determined to use the new technology for good instead of evil. When her brother Jackie (Perry Shen) steals a genetic device from their next-door neighbor Christian (Alec Newman), a vigilante scientist, he gets dragged into the immoral cyber-underworld. Banded together with him, Michelle must fight not just for her own flesh and blood, but also for the survival of mankind.

    Could easily have been so much better

    The visuals, the effects, the acting were all pretty good.

    But was all let down by a bad story seemingly ripped from pulp cyberpunk.

    hey not bad!!!!

    we managed a whole half an hour before we stopped watching, i'm very proud.

    this film really did not know what it wanted to be about....... gene therapy gone wrong...?a family lost in the big city just trying to get by? .....a man trying to get his sister well at all costs?.....

    i'm not sure but quite frankly i don't care that much, it could of been good but as much as they tried to make it look like bladerunner it was never to be.
