A stunning realisation of postmodern dystopia. Ostensibly a sly exploration of the moral consequences of biotechnology (IVF, cloning etc), it’s the form of the piece that quickly takes centre stage: simply intoxicating to soak up and taste, vibrant and invigorating in spite of its inherently clinical design. While none of it may be particularly innovative - running in the vein of Alphaville, Solaris, Blade Runner and many others - in the very least, it’s worthy of holding such company.

Along with A Mighty Heart, a Winterbottom film that continues to curry favor with me. I'm buying it every time.

Samantha Morton remains a strange and mesmerising creature, Tim Robbins could have done a lot better. Overall? Only Sci-Fi I've ever watched to the end (achievement), very beautiful images (plus) and a decent, if completely forgettable (big minus!) story.

I guess Code 46 draws a strict line about the futuristic dystopia of the today's world. The romance part may be found cheap but the power of totalitarian system by the use of technology cannot be shown more realistic way.

This is a strange film and the themes are treaty so lighly that you ever even notice them. This sci-fi film is, like all good sci-fi, not about the science at all.

This is a terrible film. The gorgeous city-scapes of Shanghai and desert landscapes go some way in redeeming it as much as can be... in the face of a pretty bad script (character development / plot development - eek, what's that?!). Shame.

I really enjoyed this film. It was great the way they used shots of Shanghai and other locations in the present day but presented like it was the future. Kind of like Alphaville in that way or the first part of Solaris. I often find sci fi films a lot more absorbing when they are presented that way - they become a lot more about mood and atmosphere.

It's cold, simplistic and distant, but it has inner power. It is a fresh change from that hideus sci-fi trend that started with 'the matrix' when technology and visuals took over the story.
