This 1992 Japanese film tells the story of a scientist who sets out to create the new "super Adam and Eve", humans who cannot be controlled by their emotions. Of course, the end result it not exactly what the good doctor expects.
comments from imdb:
This modern tale of an attempt to build a creature is one of the best "horror" films ever made, even if its not a horror film but something else entirely. Certainly its on my short list of all time great films.
This film was introduced to me by someone who told me "I have this film that probably one of the best films you'll ever see. It will move you and touch you and make you think, but if I told you what it is and told you how its done you will think its the stupidest thing on the face of it and you won't watch it." Intrigued I asked what did he mean, and he said, "Well its a Frankenstein story, with a very goofy sort of edge, but which uses it to its advantage." My ears perked up, and I being a trusting soul took the tape and watched it. I was blown away.
The plot concerns a mad scientist attempting to make a new Adam and Eve in the wake of a suicidal plague that is ravaging the world. Locked up in his lab his experiments go differently then either he or we expect. Some of it is silly (The bolts in the neck, the wrestling moves...), all of it is touching and thought provoking.
I can not recommend this movie enough. If you are willing to take the film on its terms and allow it to tell its story then I urge you to seek this film out and see it. This is an undiscovered gem that will stay with you forever.
15 out of 10 and then some. 10/10
Also known as "The Last Frankenstein", this is an extraordinary, impeccably produced horror film. Director Takeshi Kawamura uses Mary Shelley's novel as a mere launching pad for an exploration of subjects as diverse and fascinating as the nature of love, desire, suicide, mass hypnosis, sex, alienation and jealousy.
And though the film is dense with subtext, it is also stunningly photographed and rich in atmosphere and detail. The performances are all amazing and Kawamura's sensitive handling of the strange, delicate relationships between the characters results in an emotionally charged, angst-ridden tragedy.
The scenes of the confused, troubled monster hurtling through a fog-shrouded forest at night are memorable and striking, as is a brilliant home movie-style montage of the film's more curious characters enjoying a precious afternoon at the beach. Kawamura creates resonating visual poetry of horror and sadness barely sighted since Todd Browning's classic "Freaks".
Intelligent, emotional, tragic and real, this is an absolute gem. 9/10
不死之身之前好看，之后就儿戏了。不过先想想香港迪士尼这个项目卡其布俊男美女服务员，再看看精美的良心大制作很认真，又叨叨无脑合家欢也是不常见，就又挺喜欢这片儿了。CP也是蛮好，不输前辈作品。
6.5-6.8/10；导演仍拍了一部差了一口气的商业大片，这回也还是高潮段落差口气，而且少了个好的动作导演。不过尽管这样，这样的冒险奇幻电影也是挺对我胃口的。
前半段还蛮好看的。明亮鲜艳、轻松诙谐、经典迪士尼味，后半段整个垮掉了。跟《木乃伊》差距挺大的，最大差距就是Emily和巨石强森真的毫无CP感。在殖民主义冒险故事的基础上加平权话题，总觉得有些勉强。
“这世界的一切对你来说很新鲜，但对我来说已经老调重弹了。”
毫无意义毫无营养，无聊到一定程度的迪士尼可能应该不适合我这个年龄段了吧。
典型的迪士尼奇幻冒险片，画面精致，特效在线，故事情节跌宕起伏，结局圆满。
一部不错的家庭爆米花电影，强森的角色挺有反差感的。
大写的陈词滥调，马丁·斯科塞斯警告⚠️×♾️
也不能说难看，就是太老套太没新意了，从主题乐园式的亚马逊到人物设定到服道化，找不到任何能吸引人的东西。当然，人人都爱艾米丽布朗特，但除此之外竟然找不到任何记忆点。不应该啊，夺宝冒险片不应该这么无趣。
中规中矩的迪士尼探险片，12岁小孩爱看的那种，像个真人版动画片
其实还不错，还有点女版印第安纳琼斯的意思，只是这几年秘境寻宝电影不大流行了，强森选择没错，比去速9强。
又一下饭片，没啥新意，看点还不如勇敢者的游戏。
就很迪士尼，非常迪士尼，好在男女主都是我很喜欢的，还有大猫，不失为合格娱乐片了
没有惊艳也没有太大的吐槽，就感觉巨石咋天天演这种。。。
这片完全把东京当成个没高科技的赛博都市来拍啊，大投影、高楼侧边的贫民窟场景、一堆霓虹紫光。有场戏的场景设计还很像攻壳机动队里女主开场杀的那段。前半段动作场面和角色互动都有惊喜，后半段节奏放慢后就只剩无聊的枪战了。70
三位主角性格鲜明，都很逗很好看，强森越老越帅的典型。
落魄猛男+迷人博物学者+废柴小舅子，是不是让你想起木乃伊。虽然我很想念蕾切尔薇茨，但艾米丽布朗特是真的很可爱！
凯特临终一幕在粉色招财猫霓虹下还是真有几分伤感💐
典型的冒险娱乐片，看看还可以的。一美女博士要去亚马逊探险，当然巧合之下，找了强森一起，然后通过各种解谜和艰难险阻，找到了秘密，似乎是纳粹德国弄过去的，最后惊险的像游乐园冒险游戏一样逃出生天，完成度挺不错的。
木乃伊＋夺宝奇宾＋加勒比海盗，处处都有这几部的影子，好看是挺好看的，但是也是俗气的很，巨石强森就像隔壁勇敢者游戏片场下班过来客串一样，演来演去都和范迪塞尔一样一个味，反而女主角和男二的设定倒是妙趣横生，整片洋溢着80年代探险片的味道，如果有第二部还是会看一看的。
