The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I started watching this movie thinking I had watched part 1 first, but I had not. But guess what? It didn't matter. I was mesmerized. This movie was on POINT! I will recommend it to all my movie lover friends and every one else who needs a good thought provoking, weekend movie. It is SF, but you don't have to be a SF fan to enjoy.I was a little disturbed about the ending and so I went about checking for part 3 and didn't find anything. Hey you out there, if you know about a part 3 being out, let us know. Stewert St John did a bang-up job. I won't do like some people and give away the story but kind of like the Bible, brotherly love is tested. Now you got to see which way it goes. Because there will be a sequel or 2. I heard. lol

I read the comic book prequel to this movie in the bottom of my comic con bag and found there was a movie so I checked it out. Its very low budget so this review takes that into consideration unlike some of the other reviews I've read here. The story is ambitious and compelling... but it moves slowly. If you go in expecting tons of action and sci-fi, you will not find it. If you go in wanting a story, interesting characters and hints of biblical references, then you'll get something out of it. The writer director Stewart St. John has something to say, and the movie has a strong political undercurrent especially given today's political unrest. You can clearly see where the film is hampered by budget constraints but there is still something there. Bailey Chase shines as the loyal brother Aiden. He is blindly devoted to his older brother played by Eric Scott Woods who I think is a bit miscast. The story revolves around an underground society that has built an entire underworld system where they live after humans created them and then tried to kill them. There is a political leader of the clones (that is basically what they are, clones) who now wants to kill the remaining humans who live up on Earth's surface, but he has a secret (spoiler) that makes him the way he is. The relationship between the brothers and their mother is what was interesting to me, but if you don't like drama with lots of words then you probably won't like this movie.

it's such a shame to see so many wonderful talented directors and scripts, never seeing light because of budgeting reasons and then again, see such projects being made.This movie, is really bad... Too much dark scenes... Well, it's called dark metropolis... But boy this movie is dark we can barely see the actors... The first 5 minutes of the movie are promising... the concept is good although we seen much of it before. But the movie fails to impress... the directing is lame the characters are so shallow...the dialog is so unrealistic...obviously trying to make us understand what we cant through the movie. the fight scenes are so un-professionally made...Didn't they have a monitor while shooting?Am sorry for the makers of this film... if we can call it so!

I would give this film minus numbers if it were possible it sucks - sucks - sucks - it is a crime to waste valuable resources on this pile of pure unadulterated crap. The acting sucks , the story sucks , it is poorly written and the acting is even worse than the writing. I feel as I have been robbed of 97 minutes of my life and Mr. Stewart St John should be banned forever from the directors chair, from writing i noticed that he is on Facebook and that is where i am heading next. I am angry at myself for being optimistic I kept hoping it would get better but it just kept getting worse. The idea is actually pretty good but the execution just plane .....SUCKS!!! I give this a rating of minus 99
