Possibly almost a bit too realistic of a premise, what I mean to say as science progresses this experimentation will occur, whether you want it to or not, along with thousands of other major medical breakthroughs that will happen eventually, it's just a matter of time. I liked how the film spent the most of the runtime on the human side, rather than the science. It makes you wonder about certain things and think hard about immortality or more really about life and humanity, the connections, events and memories of our lives and all the negative possibilities of what this wish that so many of us have to be able to continue to live after our expiration date, whatever the circumstances of the death are.
In the end I felt it was a very worthwhile film in which I quite enjoyed, probably more than most, it hit on a specific nerve of thinking . It is a drama/sci-fi film, the greater portion spent on drama as very little time is spent on the technology side of things, the bare minimum really. That may dismay many as it's being billed as specifically and only as sci-fi on IMDb. I do recommend it though for those who are looking for the kind of film I described above , a great little story with a bit of tech set in the future.

I watched this on a flight recently... Very good concept for a movie...
I really liked it... Yes, it's very wordy and there is a lot of exposition, but the themes of the movie are interesting enough to overcome all of those criticisms... The subjective experience of time and memory, having purpose in life and the struggle against nihilism, etc... I think the movie touched on some themes from Camus' The Stranger...
I liked the last third of the movie...
