A big disappointment.

Very cold movie.

I like that it's so subtle about the dystopian future it takes place in; the only bit of exposition is at the beginning, explaining what Code 46 is. It's an incredibly dreary movie though. Framing the story around the Oedipus tragedy doesn't really reinforce whatever message the movie was trying to give (maybe it was just trying to stir discussion on a government-controlled gene pool?), and just makes the latter parts of the movie very uncomfortable to watch.

A rather unique but still subdued mix of Lost in Translation, Gattaca and some Eternal Sunshine. Some interesting sci-fi concepts and a romance doomed to fail... Sometimes you really just crave a melancholy love story taking place in a bleak world, and this one delivered.

Good. Yet another movie about a dystopian future where, in this case, people are segregated on a gene basis. But it carries it off with flair and some very unique takes on a single global community. Yet it wastes a lot of opportunities to exploit some excellent plot themes. Could've been great but still, Tim Robin is good in it. Recommended.

Not the most original film (like FFD noted, it owes a lot to Blade Runner), but very well-made and with enough diversity to set it apart from the pack. I'm a sucker for this sort of "contemporary" sci-fi, and Code 46 pushes those buttons very well. Not all of its thematic conceits (memory, fate, biotechnology, classicism, etc.) are developed in-depth, but they're each handled very subtly and interwoven into a compelling love story, so that the whole thing feels very organic. Very, very solid.

A muddled retelling of Oedipus that is extremely derivative of a number of films, including Eternal Sunshine, Lost in Translation, and others. The metaphors are incredibly heavy handed, and concepts like the multilingual dialog don't work. Very unfocused script, and, at times, it's nonsensical. But the cinematography is lovely, and the direction, though sometimes idiotic, has moments of brilliance. Would like to see the ideas in the pseudo-rape scene further developed - could be film of its own.

Love hurts and it is attached even after erasing. That we learned already from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (next year). Code 46 repeated that. Unfortunately all scifi parts were forgotten since the story was numb and the mood very cold, without emotions, and the film has no pacing what so ever. It did not warm anyhow any more when Morton dropped her pants in the end.

Not much too it a couple good future jokes. Not terrible but not engaging or exciting in any way.

Good idea, a bit slow, bit too many flash backs/forwards (arounds). But I enjoyed it.

Odd mixture of bleak futurism and romance. The sterility of the world the characters inhabit leaves the romance element feeling strangely cold. Combined with the Oedipal elements it doesn't quite work; I couldn't really empathize with these characters although I'm not sure if I was ever supposed to. Combined with an awful lot of not-much-going-on and the film doesn't quite work overall.

A love story in a future where cities are only accessible through checkpoints? Sounds like a great premise for a movie! Make it happen!

More interesting thematically than emotionally.

Compelling. I want to see more of Winterbottom's work.

The script reads like teenage fan-fiction. Robbins looks like a fatter blank-faced Jerry Springer. The cinematography has more technique than talent, with only a few scenes that come off quite well. This would be a very vapid future indeed. Yet somehow this film is too mediocre to say it's bad.

A cold-ass bore
