Clive’s okay with that, but when there’s a big press conference about the first two creatures they made earlier in the film, everyone sees these things kill each other because the female accidentally turned into a male while they were focusing on the monster in the barn. Despite Clive wanting to kill their freak, Elsa says that because it’s maturing so quickly, it will soon be dead anyway. As their creation is developing more and more quickly, getting smarter and smarter, Clive and Elsa realize they need to relocate it from their lab and to a barn owned by Elsa’s family. How do they know about the lungs? Well when Clive realizes what they’re doing is wrong, he tries to drown it, only to see it start breathing. They never really quite explain what the creature is made up of, other than it’s part human but also has a tail and wings and amphibious lungs. To their surprise, the shit actually works and a baby is born. They know that the must move on to human trials, but when their financial backers frown at this, they move ahead in secret by using one of Elsa’s eggs. They’ve genetically engineered two brand new life forms, but that’s only where their plans start. Like, what the fuck is this thing? A rabbit? A butterfly? A Mouser?Ĭlive ( Adrien Brody) and Elsa ( Sarah Polley) are two genetic scientists on the verge of a breakthrough. I can’t really remember what that means as I type it out, but think about the internet and how much information we all have on each other and how accessible that shit is to everybody…crazy, right? Nobody thought we’d learn that much about each other or the solar system or the human body! So take THAT, science! What’s this movie about again? Oh yeah, weirdo scientists. It’s like, “Hey, check out this picture of a totally hot babe that you’re never going to see in real life!” and I’ll be like, “Say whaat? DAMN!” What the fuck was I talking about? OH YEAH! Science! Remember when we were kids and we thought we’d have flying cars and jetpacks?! WHAT’S UP WITH THAT?! No but seriously, a friend of mine and I were the only two people to attend a talk by James Kakalios, author of The Physics of Superheroes and he pointed out that even though the mechanical aspect of science hasn’t grown as exponentially as people thought it was, the science of information has grown in its place. Yeah sure, pictures of outer space are pretty cool I guess, but it’s not like I’m ever going to see that shit in person. Couldn’t think of anything? Didn’t think so! You know what else is played out? MATH! NOBODY LIKES MATH! Only nerd losers like math or science. No, I’m not talking about getting a text message or the invention of gravity or anything, but name ONE way in which has helped you personally. SCIENCE! Name one good thing that science has done for you lately.
