Synopsis
In the year 2056 – the not so distant future – an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GeneCo, a biotech company that offers organ transplants, for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by villainous Repo Men. In a world where surgery addicts are hooked on painkilling drugs and murder is sanctioned by law, a sheltered young girl searches for the cure to her own rare disease as well as information about her family’s mysterious history. After being sucked into the haunting world of GeneCo, she is unable to turn back, as all of her questions will be answered at the wildly anticipated spectacular event: The Genetic Opera. —IMDB

A largely misunderstood film. Took me a couple of views before i understood the film's tone, which shifts from deathly serious to an undercut of overstated violent sillyness. People expecting a musical should find out what Opera means. People expecting Sweeney Todd mixed with Rocky Horror, well you might be disapointed or not, you either love or hate it. Head and Brightman rule in their songs. Deserves a se/prequel

I liked its cheesiness and I thought the songs were catchy, Interesting premise but the jerks at Lionsgate could have thrown a bit more money towards it.
