Is this film for real, to start with the sound quality is awful. Not to mention the music score, they have back ground music (I guess to enhance the intensity) where none is needed... I wonder if Christopher Scott Larson who I guess did the score ever worked again outside McD's.As for the plot, very week. The acting was very poor and woody.. Fortunately I've seen Kevin Tighe in other shows since he made this and he was a lot better in those. It was very difficult for me to see it to the end.In summary the best parts of this film were the Ad breaks..... Hope I didn't spoil the plot for you, if there was one?

Dr. Jason Ward (Jason Brooks) is a highly qualified geneticist. His brother Andy Ward (Robert Floyd) had problems during his birth and is mentally retarded. Dr. Jason is hired by an agency to develop some kind of experience with DNA. What he does not know is that this DNA belongs to the body of a very developed prehistoric man, and his findings are being used by another government laboratory to develop a kind of super-intelligent species. His brother Andy is used as part of this experiment. This movie seems to be a bad pilot of a possible television series. However, the screenplay and the performance of the casting are so foolish that probably the producers gave up with such an investment. However, although deserving a place among the worst 250 films in IMDB, there are movies worst than that. By comparison with other craps, my vote is four.

No academy awards for this one, but it was entertaining and kept my interest throughout - which is what a movie is supposed to do. The acting was also pretty good. I was especially impressed with Robert Floyd, who played the mentally challenged brother of Jason Brooks.

No other words describes this movie other than it absolutely stinks. The plot seemed interesting with a perfectly frozen man with incredibly advanced DNA, but for some stupid reason, this vital plot point was dropped and a relationship between this scientist and his retarded brother was brought to the forefront. The dialogue was hackneyed and trite. Another reason to know why this movie stinks is that the San Diego Padres were incorporated as an essential part of the "plot". If I could give this movie a negative score; I would!
