Whoa,that creeped me out

As soon as the cat came out of the box purring, I knew it was not long for this world.

Kill it with fire. And then drones.

I didn't like towards the end of the movie when it got really fucking insane. I would've rather it kept to the captive, captor relationship and the subversion that comes with it. I think like many movies though, it had to get bloody for people to be interested.

yeah.act three lost me as well.
up until then i was really digging this flick.

Splice reminded me of A.I.
A movie that went on a little bit further than it should have.

It always makes me furious when people in movies act like idiots. Same thing happened in Prometheus, which had a great premise and could have been really good, but was ruined by everyone being idiots and nothing making any god damn sense.

Here's she's equating Dren with a child, notably her own child, which she could never conceive. Dren is a human/scorpion/more animals mix that have an entirely different perception of the world than she does - if she was any form of smart, she would have recognized this and not given her a freaking cat. Would you give a gorilla a cat as a pet? No you wouldn't!

The idea for this film was great and I thought it was actually quite well done. The scientists are naive and bold, but flawed people and Dren is a weird foster child to them.I thought the last part was a bit much, but it didn't entirely ruin the movie for me.

For a great example of a movie that shows great promise and really is very good, but then completely cocks up the very ending, see White Noise http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Noise_(film) or Battlestar Galactica http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlestar_Galactica_(2004_TV_series) both of which just shit the bed with the endings.
