The interesting thing about Splice is that it is less interested in examining the obvious moral quandary of cloning as it is the question of abortion. But great Sci-Fi takes a very tangible societal issue or question and uses technology to emphasize the universality and timelessness of those issues. There is a stigma, and perhaps at one point I held this same belief, that Sci-Fi is a juvenile, plastic genre that produces little more than spectacular effects and mindless fantasy. For me, Splice represents exactly what Science-Fiction is supposed to be. I liked Splice a lot, and I feel I’m right on the cusp of loving it. Have they made the breakthrough of the century or a terrible, irreversible mistake? Their excitement turns to horror when Dren displays erratic, violent behavior. The result of their experiment is Dren, an amalgamation of several animals but predominantly exhibiting distinctly human features. In desperation, they decide to cross the ethical point of no return and add human DNA to the mix. The smitten biologists are confident that their work is on the right track until tragedy strikes at a convention and their parent company threatens to pull the plug. They are fusing the genetic material of various types of life in order to create an entirely new organism that can then produce valuable proteins used to fight diseases.

Splice is the story of two scientists, who are also involved with one another, hard at work trying to crack all manner of genetic codes. In fact, it’s one of the better Sci-Fi films I have seen in quite some time. I think Splice does both remarkably well. I demand some sort of concrete idea buried within the futuristic society or the advanced science that is metaphorically explored or I expect it to pull double duty as a good horror film.

I don’t walk into a movie like Splice with a few marked expectations. Some would probably suppose that my lacking in avid fandom for the genre would result in my expectations being decidedly lower than those of a die-hard Sci-Fi geek, on the contrary. It’s not that I don’t care for the genre or have anything against it, it’s just that it was never something I routinely exposed myself to as a young film geek. Automatically a few doubts about this review and my ability to deliver unbiased analysis should be crawling around in your brain. Science Fiction is not my preferred genre.
