Watch Teknolust For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Highly Overrated But Still Good

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

TEKNOLUST (3 outta 5 stars) Reading a synopsis of this movie you'd think it was some strange-sounding porno... or a wacky comedy. A lonely, nerdy female scientist replicates herself into a trio of cybernetic copies. In order to live, these "clones" need regular doses of male chromosomes, found only in male sperm. So the eldest copy goes out into the world, collecting samples for the sustenance of her and her "sisters". Yes, this definitely sounds like something that came out of the imagination of some sex-starved sci-fi nerd. Except... that the film was actually written and directed by a woman. So there is plenty of "subtext" and "symbolism" to "legitimize" a plot that sounds like it was dreamed up in "Letters to Penthouse". Tilda Swinton is the main reason to watch this movie... she plays the scientist and the three copies and she does a great job of making each one of them a different character. Also there is one wacky scene where the three "sisters" are doing some weird interpretive dance (all on screen at the same time) that is just sublime! Unfortunately, except for Swinton, the acting is pretty awful. Actually, Jeremy Davies is okay playing a lovelorn copy guy who falls in love with one of the copies but all he really gets to do is make cute puppy eyes at Tilda. For a comedy... the tone of this movie seems awfully sombre at times. A quicker pace and some livelier dialogue might have helped this movie become a classic. As it is, it's an okay movie enlivened by the talent of Tilda Swinton.

"Teknolust" is so inane, it's offensive. As someone who has spent years in both microbiology and computer labs, I found the storyline & dialog completely nonsensical. It was so bad, I couldn't even laugh.Remember those "corporate bs generators" that randomly chose one word from each of 3 columns to create phrases that sounded like they meant something, but didn't? I think the writers for this movie combined a "computer bs generator" with a "virology bs generator" and used that to create the script.Lame, lame, lame!!! Don't waste your time.

This sleeper entertains with Tilda Swinton's beauty, hyperbolic web-tech, and subtle-smart humor.The "R"-rating is inexpilcable. Does a film get rated "R" for showing condoms? The "sexual" situations are all implied, there is no nudity and I cannot recall any harsh language or violence in the film.The special-effects portraying souped-up computor interfaces are all part of the thin-guise of sci-fi genre and the film's humor. A microwave window doubles as a networked PC, "hard-drive crashes" pun erectile dysfunction.Tilda is cast in the most lighthearted and cute role(s) that I have ever seen her play and her deadpan-pretty portrayal(s) delight the eye. Her three-way dance routine is very entertaining.I felt that the theme of this film was the "joy of Life" intruding into and dominating technology.

Disclosure - I couldn't finish the movie, I was just too uninterested. This is to dissuade others who might see it for the same reasons I did.)After reading other's comments, I understand this is supposed to be an art movie (many of the excellent effects wouldn't show up on my small TV and VCR), but the script seems like it was written by a group of stoners saying "Wouldn't it be cool if...".The script shows a complete lack of understanding of how computers and technology work. How is it that the SRA's can "scan a hard drive" and affect "infected" people miles away? The laws of physics are completely ignored. Rosetta says "anyone could create them (meaning the SRAs)"...exactly how could anyone create fully grown people? Any scene occurring in a lab just made me cringe.The plot holes aren't just technical, such as the SRAs can affect the stock market and use credit cards, but don't know what money is? I was impressed with Tilda Swinton's acting, however most everyone else was acting at the same level as the script...poorly.I rented this movie in the hopes on a movie which might challenge the intellect and probe interesting issues in technology & ethics, but instead I was bored and annoyed at how it insulted the audience's intelligence.
