Repo! The Genetic Opera
This is one movie that I've been absolutely hooked on since I randomly bought it.
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.
Seems as though most 'professional' movie critics have given this movie poor reviews, but there is no shortage of positive reviews from us normal people.
Yahoo! users have it at an A- overall, while critics have an average score of a D+...nice disparity.
Anthony Stewart Head and Sarah Brightman both give excellent performances in this rock opera, as well as Terrance Zdunich as the Graverobber.
The first time I saw it, I didn't quite know what to think, but now I can't get the music out of my head. I encourage all of you to go check it out!
