I don't care what happens to these characters. The famed Eight Deadly Words. This movie embodies those words in seemingly every way it can. By the end, I was glad I'd seen it, if only to know just how crippling those eight words can be. Of course, the movie has many other problems. The movie also doesn't seem to understand how genetics work at all, but really, that is among the least of the problems. Characters are boring, the plot is a bog-standard "The fate of the WHOLE WORLD is at stake" thing, and as always, Phlebotinum Killed the Dinosaurs, a trope that has been used ad nauseum already, and at this point only works when played for laughs. It is played dead straight here. There is only one scene in the movie with any inherent joy to be garnered from it, and that is the bureaucracy montage, and that's probably just because I like those in almost everything they appear in.
In conclusion, the only way to get any sort of fun out of watching this beyond that one scene is to watch it with friends and point and laugh at the failings, and there are far better movies for that.
